Basically, DFU mode allows you to restore the phone to any firmware by bypassing the iBoot loader. Recovery mode only allows you to restore to the latest firmware.

Thanks! I can see bypassing the iBoot loader is important for jailbroken phones, but is there any benefit to do DFU restore on non-jailbroken phone?? If there’s any I want to try it out.

It could be os 11.3 or router, but I did restore differently each time for like 5 times. I do remember having that issue with safari not loading websites clearly. I don’t know if you are up for it and willing to lose messages, but after setting up mine as new without restoring backup, I no longer have the problem.. other than messages I got everything back that was saved to iCloud and Dropbox etc.. you already tried reset all setting/ reset all contents and setting?

Yes have tried just about everything, I am back on 11.2.6 and everything seems fine (Intel IP7+)
 
Anyone experiencing graphical issues in Safari? This is what I mean - tap the tab view icon (with a single tab open on a website already), and pay attention to the edges of the card during the zoom-out animation. There is a mixture of flickering and visual artifacts emulating static.
 
My iPad Mini 4 could not charge at all. Even though battery indicator showed that it was fully charged. When I reset iPad, the battery indicator return to 10% and keep shutting down after a while. I have to downgrade back to 11.2.6 and this problem is gone.

However, iPhone X seem ok so far.
 
I will confirm on both the 7+ and IPP 12 G2 the RAM management still has issues. Seeing apparently unneeded complete relaunches of apps that reside in task management or tans in Safari.

I hope ram management is going to be a priority in iOS 12. Ram management is definitely one of the challenges in iOS 11 compared to previous versions of iOS..

Still... I backed up on 3/30 before updating to 11.3 and it does not exist or any backups all year. I tried deleting gmail from the phone 2x and restored to the latest backup and nothing works still. Strange.

Log into the gmail web UI and see if you have any unread Hangout notifications. That fixed it for me.

I don't have any read hangout notifications but I have 41 unread emails which is strange because I can't even mark them as read or anything. It still shows 58 invisible emails from gmail. Very annoying at this point and none of my backups earlier this year are gone. Probably the previous iOS versions are out of service for me to update to an older iOS. Any ideas? I might talk to Apple for hours to figure this out.

If your ambient light sensor is obscured, then the screen will not light up. That may be what’s happening here.

Interesting thought. Why would the ambient light sensor keep the screen from waking up when receiving a notification? If I press the home button, the screen does wake. My question is NOT based in sarcasm - I'm seriously interested in your reasoning.

EDIT: Clarified message.

I am testing now because I didn’t have any handouts unread. I went to gmail and set to unread from default and picked them all as read when I even read them before. I never leave anything deleted or read before.

I didn’t even have 58 unread messages on the website. So far nothing has showed invisible 58 emails when nothing showed up before. I’ll let you know if this worked but it is strange. Seems like a bug.

Apple implemented a feature starting in iOS 9 called Facedown Detection in which the iOS uses the ambient light and proximity sensors to detect when the phone is face down or in your pocket and will subsequently prevent the screen from lighting up when receiving notifications in an effort to extend battery life. If these sensors (located near your front facing camera) are blocked by anything (papers on a desk, clothing, pillow, etc) it will engage the feature as it thinks the entire screen is blocked.

I did not know this. Thanks for the information!

I am going to have to test this out as i can't say whether or not this is what is causing my issue. I'll test in a brightly lit place, then a dark room, and see what happens.

has anyone noticed if a DFU setup as new as helped compared to an upgrade from 11.2.6 to 11.3?

At first I was running 11.3 beta 6, deleted the profile and upgraded to 11.3 official which resulted in more battery drain and some hickups.
Then I did a "vol+/vol-/hold side button until restore is being displayed" on my X and restored from the 11.3 backup which helped a lot also regarding battery life.

Right now my X is at the APPLE Store in Vienna because 3D touch only worked from time to time since day 1 in November.
The display is being exchanged under warranty. ;)
Takes 4h until its repaired.
 
My wifi is alwaya dropping and not reconnecting i thought it was an issue with my broadband but now i see its on my iphone X 11.3 stable anyone else having this my homepod doesn't work as it keeps saying my ios device has to be on same network
