Apple just can't seem to wrap their head around wifi

[Eel O'Brian]

Every time there's an iOS update they somehow manage to shit the bed on the wifi. iOS 6 has totally fucked my wifi. Works for about 5 minutes then goes into endless loading mode until I "forget network," reconnect, then do it all over again five minutes later. Note to self: wait a month before updating next time.

[Eel O'Brian]

fuck this shit, i can't use anything

how do I roll back to the previous version?

make sure to include one of your first pube, whenever that comes in

[Pringo]

I had some Wi-Fi issues with my iPad earlier today. Clearing Safari's history and cookies and then resetting the network settings seemed to fix it. I don't know if it's the exact same issue as you're having though.

[Eel O'Brian]

Thanks, but that worked about as well as everything else. It's just totally fucked, works for a minute then loses signal.

Does anyone have a link to somewhere where I can get the last version of iOS?

[Eel O'Brian]

The wifi on my iphone4 was doing this last night. I reset the phone and it seemed fine after that. I was maybe 10 feet from my router and my phone would switch over to Edge.

yeah, I think I'll hold off on updating. 

I use google maps on my iphone quite a lot so this right here might be a deal breaker for me with getting an iphone 5.  Originally I was hesitant to leave because of all the money I've sunk into itunes over the years but really the only thing I'm using my phone for is phone stuff - texting, phone calls, and GPS/maps.  All the apps and music are for my ipad and ipod(s).

Galaxy S3, here I come.

[bork]

Not gonna update LOL

Yup.  But I'm getting an iPhone 5 within the next two weeks, so I'm gonna have to use iOS 6.

You can still use Google Maps on iOS6...set a shortcut to the web app: http://www.businessinsider.com/get-google-maps-back-on-iphone-2012-9?op=1

And you can always use the MapQuest app, which works pretty well and has voiced turn by turn navigation.

Is this something Apple will respond to, or just ignore?

Kind of what I figured.

I like my iPad and will still probably get an iPhone soon, but good lord Apple fans are funny people.

Yea they can be something else.

I would like to see Apple get on stuff like this quickly but i'm skeptical

[Tasty]

Apple should just bring in Bing Maps. Not like Microsoft is a threat to them in the mobile space.

Neither was Google a few years ago.

Apparently, you go to settings>safari>advanced>web data and either delete all data or find the apple site address that pops up wanting a login when the wifi shits the bed and delete it.

Apple Maps This shit is gold

I was thinking about getting an iPhone 5 but this is a serious killer for me. Google maps is so damn accurate this morning I was lost trying to find a the office for a meeting but none of the buildings had numbers, so I used G Maps which was nearly accurate to a metre of their front door in a street full of high rises. Google How long until Apple caves and reallows people to download Google Maps?

[Purple Filth]

Wow at those pics.

Loved the Hong Kong one where its sparse as fuck compared to the Google version but hey the Apple store is marked

I doubt it. I don't think iOS 5 has support for the 1136 x 640 resolution.

Some sites say that Google wants to let Apple swallow all this bad press and then release the app around Christmas. But 9 to 5 mac says that the Google app was already submitted for approval, but that Apple is stalling it until they can update their own app to make some small but noticeable improvements.

Realistically, I think it'll be at least a year before the Apple app is up to par. I don't know why they didn't wait until the next iPhone.

I had the opportunity to download iOS 6 and cancelled it for now.

I use the Maps application all the time since I do quite a bit of travelling for work.  This update would effectively neuter one of my most used features on my phone.

I'm sure the Apple bungtonguers are trying their hardest to pretend that this update is like totally ossom.  We haven't heard from BrandNew yet so I'm curious as to what the spin is like.

[bork]

My iPhone 5 isn't supposed to come for another two weeks, so I'm assuming I still have plenty of time to cancel the pre-order.  And I am seriously considering switching to an Android phone now.

Sorry dude. Your best bet is to root it and get rid of CrapWiz.

Verizon is finally sending out 4.1 to their Galaxy Nexuses. It's been rocking on my N7 for months, but now Google Now will actually be useful (because of the data connection.)

[lordmaji]

This is why I like my Android phone. I'm good on the Apple shit.

[huckleberry]

i'm not complaining. crapwiz isn't that bad.  i downloaded apex launcher and now i am good to go anyway. 

only downside to the nexus at all is the lack of sd slot.....would have bought it straight from google in a heartbeat.

Didn't they buy a few different mapping companies and have been working on this maps app for like 3 years? On paper, it looked like they were going to have a pretty decent application but there is so much wrong/missing data that that makes this app at best useless in some parts of world.

They say that they need to put it in the public's hands to work out the kinks, I'm wondering how could that help? Will people just manually update whenever POI or street names are wrong? If after a week nothing changes, IP5 owners are probably going to give Android and WP8 a hard look before they get out of their refund period.

This is kind of a disaster really, having a shitty native maps app is probably worse than having a small screen or lacking LTE.

Do devices automatically download the new update? Apple is pestering me to try to update, and I swear I just lost some space on my device.

[Mr. Gundam]

I don't think so. Our iPad didn't automatically update to 6.

[brawndolicious]

I think they automatically download it at least once you're on wifi. But you can choose when to install it because it would require resetting your device.

[TakingBackSunday]

well I bit and bought the 5.  Needed to update from the 4 anyway.

The screen is really nice.  I think they are using some new tech, the colors stand out a lot more than on the 4.  Also I love the back of this thing.

And goddam LTE is blazing.  I'm getting 30 up AND down.  Shit's crazy.
