All Devices iOS 13.1 - Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[sbailey4]

Dang I hope they fix this eventually. What a shame. That’s the first thing I noticed when I updated my 7 and ultimately made me go back to 12.4.1 for the time being. It just got hot doing simple stuff where it never did this before and isn’t doing currently on 12.4.1. I have and app called system status pro and it will show you the cpu usage and I periodically check it through the day just to make sure my cpu is properly idling down and on 12.4.1 it always drops down to like 5%. On 13 when I would open some basic apps and quick switch over to the system status app I could see the giant spikes in cpu usage. It would kick up to 90% really quick and then idle back down eventually but the spikes were way higher compared to what it does on 12.4.1. When I open apps on 12.4.1 it will only go up to like 55-75% depending on the app then idle back down fast. On 13 it was maxing our every time switching open new apps and hanging there for longer before idling down. I could literally put my thumb on the spot where the processor is and feel it heating up to hot with each new app I was opening. They’ve got some real bugs to work out!!! For now I’m sticking with 12.4.1 and keeping cool till I see reports of this heating up stuff going away! Sad it’s happening on the newest phones too!

thanks for the info and I wasn’t aware of the CPU spikes. I hope it gets fixed soon since I love dark mode and the speed improvements on iOS 13 and can’t go beck to 12.4.1. Reading these comments from other users, I seem lucky since other users have major issues that I am glad not be affected by. Is this the buggiest IOS release yet? I can’t believe IOS 13 is in this state.

Well if you think about it, the speed enhancements with app loading and such would require more CPU usage. Cant have it both ways (low CPU usage but better performance). No need to have "spare" CPU power sitting and not being used. Same as RAM, its a waste for it to sit there being empty

IPadOS bug, if you have Today View showing on the left of the home screen then open a iPhone only app that only displays in portrait mode, exit the app and the home screen rotates back to landscape most of the information in the Today View widgets will be missing, I have to open a normal iPad app and exit that or rotate iPad to portrait and back again while on home screen to fix it.

I did a restore through iTunes and my mail app is now working, however now photos aren’t showing up in iMessages in the info section. Has anyone found a fix to this?

13.1 fixed this..Just plug your phone in and leave it on wifi as well for a long time.

A bit off topic but... Has anyone heard anything about series 2 update to WatchOS 6? I thought maybe with 13.1 but sadly not.

Settings>Notifications>Reminders>Banner Style always resets back to “Persistent” after a day or so. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I do agree with you but is it really normal for the phone to literally feel super hot like I’ve been playing fortnite with the screen brightness maxed out for like an hour when I just open up safari and scroll these forums for about 5 minutes? It just doesn’t feel right. Something is off.

Battery does not last as long as 13.1 B4, thats for sure! Ip11 pro max (verizon)

What is a basic non cpu intensive task for you?

surfing safari reading macrumors and other forums, instagram, netflix, using apollo reddit app with music playing in the background. My phone never got warm doing this tasks on 12.4.1 or any prior version of IOS. It gets warm randomly, it doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it is annoying and I am forced to stop using my phone for a bit.

Hmm yet you spent all that doh again this year? For a marginally better device. Apple loves you tho.
Actually you just need to sync not restore. The 'other/bloat' you are referring to is system logs and such. A sync removes it from phone.

https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html or https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ or https://www.apple.com/feedback/
Glad you got it sorted. However I always OTA but using this system: I close all apps, then reboot device, then update. Seems to work better that way too. Never an issue doing it that way.

The iTunes restore removed the logging and other analytical data from the betas. Good thing to do if you run the betas.

So just to clarify, I should restore and reinstall from my backup to clear/lower the Other storage? I tried syncing as mentioned above, and it did clear a few gigs, but still have about 12GB of Other remaining.

Thanks in advance!

Good NEWS... My new 11 Pro Max shipped with iOS 13 and I installed iOS 13.1 and it was major lag and stuttering, but I downloaded the IPWS and done a clean restore and set up as new, and now its massively better, its blazing fast, the issue is when you do OTA update it always seems to cause issues so I would use ipws on every iOS update its just the better way to do it

It’s always good to restore the phone and set up as new when you get a new iPhone but you don’t have to do it with every update

Now, Can ios 13.1 support "zdf enterprises " app, I used to try this version. I used to try, but video cannot be displayed on the app, I must downgrade to 12.4.

Having an odd issue with this release:

sometimes when I receive a text and I try to open it (press on the message), the text won’t open. Seems to be a touch sensitivity issue. I have to close iMessage and reopen it. Sometimes when it happens I can only press on the left side of the screen to open it.

Could this be software related? Hopefully it’s not hardware. iPhone X btw..

No that is not normal I agree. I don’t have that issue on 2 different XR’s or iPad mini4. There is something going on with your configuration causing this. Not iOS necessarily. Perhaps try and locate it or do a “reset all settings” which typically will resolve those types of odd issues.

I think it was just said to be later in the year.

I've never had persistent notifications set for any app and I just had to set mine to temporary after reading your post. We'll see if it sticks. I also had to set my phone notifications back to temporary but that's been an ongoing issue for a good amount of time already.

Sometimes the littlest things are the most annoying.

Force Touch on the AppStore icon and choose update, it's pretty simple.

I wish the Account tab at the top (to get to updates) would open to a full page instead of what appears to be a card overlay. It’s fine I guess on an iPhone. But on an iPad it limits you to a smaller centered square in the middle. I mean, come on. If you wanted to navigate to one of the app’s pages on the App Store from its update, it still limits you to that page being on a small square section in the middle of that great display.. I’m also still not quite understating* why there’s gotta be two tabs at the bottom for games. Can’t they just put the Arcade into its own section under games? Maybe put the Account tab in the top right down there at the bottom instead?

*denotes sarcasm. I know it’s to promote their Apple Arcade dealio, which is pretty nice I must say.

I have some issues such as the problem a lot are having with email - notification shows up but not the email until you pull down and refresh and a couple of other.
What bothers me the most is the reconfigured a lot of stuff and commands and options aren't where they use to be - takes a couple of actions rather than just one.
For all those who complained that IOS updates didn't change anything I don't think they can realistically say that with this update

Another "new?" Mail issue.
Mail has 4 accounts tied to it; 2 Gmail, 1 Exchange, 1 MSN (Hotmail)

I tend to keep the All Inbox Unread open as the primary view.
Get badge notifications I have Mail.
Open Mail and the number shown is less than the Badge - Known Issue
Mail refreshes and displays Unread emails. Badge now usually matches the number shown.

Here is the new issue.
If there is just one unread email, I open it, read it, go back to Inbox which updates and shows no unread emails.
If there is greater than one unread email, as I read the emails, most do not disappear from the screen, still showing on the All Inbox Unread screen as ... read.
If I manually refresh they seldom disappear. They do go away over time, usually withing 10-15 minutes.

IPP 11 13.1 PR.

Yeah, I heard that, "Later this fall" but I was wondering if there's any new news. 5.3.2 came out today as a security update but I want audiobooks on my watch

On topic here... Anyone with a XS or earlier realize that 3D touch is basically gone and replaced with haptic touch? I think it makes sense if it has the same functionality but I kinda miss the deep touch

It's not gone. You can use either on the XS/XS Max, and as far as I know on any 3D Touch device. I can tell because 3D Touch activates more quickly and doesn't make the icon animate like haptic touch does.

its there but gimped to be similar to haptic touch especially on the homescreen and in Safari. I wish apple didn’t do that. Atleast we still have the ability to move the cursor wherever with any key on the keyboard still. True peek and pop is gone (factoring actual pressure sensitivity like in iOS 12)

A much more precise description, thank you. I paid for that feature over the XR (plus after years of giant phones I actually like the XS size).
