kingalfred Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Has anyone installed on iphone yet? I will wait , want to know how it affects battery life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I started upgrading my iPad but I cancelled after the remaining (download) time increased from 14 to 18++ hours. I will wait a couple of days and start again. Ps: Update for my iPad (Air) is around 1.2Gb so I expect the update for the iPhone to be approx the same size, so start removing stuff if you don't have the space available.

MJCM Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) A lot on twitter saying there's major issues with it. it deletes all your photos. That's one of the reasons if you upgrade (anything) you first should BACKUP (or Sync with the Cloud) your Data. Edit 1: Added PS Ps: Found this (maybe relevant) http://www.tuaw.com/2014/09/17/you-have-to-delete-your-photos-twice-in-ios-8/ If you've successfully updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS today you'll notice a change in the way the system deals with your photos. Instead of immediately deleting them when asked, the photos you choose for elimination fall into a "Recently Deleted" folder, where they remain for up to 30 days before actually being deleted. Once photos are deleted and caught in the new album you can select them again and either restore them to your camera roll or actually delete them so they can't be found again. This is either a great thing -- if you've ever accidentally deleted a precious photo, you know that a safety net would have helped -- or just a needless additional step, if you're the kind who frequently clears out your photo albums and simply doesn't want to do it twice.

MJCM Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) A lot on twitter saying there's major issues with it. it deletes all your photos. Also found this, so I think a lot to do because of nothing Apple released the update Wednesday, sending customers in a blind fit of rage upon realizing they'd have to delete apps, photos and music basically everything they have ever been and ever will be to make room for the software upgrade. I literally deleted almost 3,000 pictures off my phone yesterday so I could get IOS8... but now it's saying I don't have storage oh http://mashable.com/2014/09/17/ios-8-update-twitter-reactions/ So my guess is that the upgrade doesn't delete the pictures but the users do to create space for the upgrade, because they don't have the space available Edited September 18, 2014 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingalfred Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 And I read it uses 4.9gb storage space to install. no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) And I read it uses 4.9gb storage space to install. no thanks I will let you know tomorrow, but I think that is the max. space needed for upgrade (expand the upgrade file). After that it will delete the files not needed, but again, I will let you know tomorrow. <text deleted at posters request> Edited September 18, 2014 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I found the download speed a little slow this morning so I waited until later in the day and had no problems at all. So far so good with no issues at all on my old iPhone 5. Looking forward to a new iPhone 6+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO that's good.There is only one thing that bothers me, why is Bluetooth enabled after upgrading your firmware even when it was disabled before upgrading ??

villagefarang Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I believe their default is to enable both wifi and bluetooth for optimum functionality. I just turn them off until I have use of them. I like the new information on battery usage and lots of little things I am discovering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBrainer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 O.K. So if you download the update and instal it through iTunes, as apposed to doing an update on the actual device, you will not need the 4 or 5 Gig available space to install it. It will only need about 1.5 Gig free. Secondly, when I updated I thought I lost all of the photos in my Photo Stream. I had them backed up, so I wasn't too concerned, but after a few hours, I noticed that missing Photo Stream photos were actually slowly loading them selves into the new photos app, although the Photo Stream folder is gone, it was adding and mixing the photos from all of my devices into the main photo catalogue. It did take about 24 hours to complete this process, but was done in the background. As for the battery life, it seemed to take a small hit, but maybe that was partly to do with the photos being added for an extended period. Seems about the same after a few days of usage. The problems now are very Flaky Wi-Fi syncing. It keeps losing the devices and I have to re-connect them again with the cable. After a few hours it loses them again. I did the upgrade about a week before the release (when the final version was released to developers) so people upgrading now, might find the photo sync issue even much slower, but I thing that they will show up in a few days.

Restore your Pictures ? How did you do your upgrade ? OTA or via iTunes ? iTunes automatically creates a backup before upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
