iOS 17.4.1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[sbailey4]

For me the v2 (not OTA) is borked. First one was fine, i did the mistake and upgraded, my very own fault.

I just went to an Apple Store, asked them if they can install the v1, because my Mac is a few thousand miles away- of course they can't do that

The IPSW for 236 is still available online if you wanted to go back. I doubt it would help your issue tho. Probably a re-install of the current one would do just as good.

iOS 17.4.1 v2 (21E237) significant better battery life with my iPhone 14PM.

Nothing specifically mentioned, no. But rest assured there was some issue that was addressed or .237 would not exist. It is weird that iTunes and the developer portal both have the 237 IPSW for download but OTA is still issuing 236.

The release notes remain the same: “This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.”

Possibly referring to 236 as well.

Will try it on Tuesday when i'm back at my Mac, if v1 is still signed then.

But today, i've been mostly driving using Google Maps and Waze, it was pretty good. Started from 100% this morning and 12hrs later i'm down to 22%.

This is an interesting bug. All sounds work except for the email Ding. Any sound I change it to won’t play. Any ideas?

Battery life on my new 15 PM I got yesterday is really poor at the moment. hoping it gets better. I did a 3 hour walk this morning listening to a podcast and snapping some pics and battery went down from 100% to 69% after 3 hours. Seems excessive. My regular 15 seems to last much longer.

Which iOS Version Number? Today my phone is crappy again, barely using it (a few pictures taken, a bit of Waze) and already lost 30% in 6hrs. Screen time today was less than 75mins.

Damn, I think I’ll wait for iOS 17.5 in May.
Too many bad reports…

Billions of iOS users and 5 or 6 post on a forum. Or even 50 or 60.

Ok.

I wiped out and installed via dfu 17.4.1 v2 and my 15 PM looks good

Close all apps and reboot. None of my sounds worked just after the install of the 1st version but that solved it for me.

Looks good in what way?

Nice. Might try a clean DFU install without iCloud restore if things don’t improve on my new 15 PM battery life. I’m on day 3 of owning it so hoping by end of this week it’s stabilized. Cause this battery is mid at best.

I almost didn't update to v2 but since I had plugged my phone up to my Mac sure enough I was getting the prompt for an a new update so I went ahead and took the plunge. At first my phone went into recovery mode which scared me to death, saying I couldn't update it because of a sync error, but after restarting my Mac surely enough it went through. I really wish they could fix these sync issues; it seems like it's been going on for years. I'm just glad I tried before actually having to restore my phone.

Afterwards nothing really to speak of, outside of the glitchiness of AirPods and Apple Music skipping randomly.

I honestly have never used such a buggier update on iPPM2 and iP13M, Safari pages not loading, Magic Keyboard issues, crashes and more! It‘s infuriating how bad these updates have got.

Oddly enough these updates are fine for most.

I love how the optimistically named “Bug Fixes, Changes and Improvements” threads are always full of complaints, disappointments, and heartbreaks.

Anyone having the problem where iCloud message sync paused? And it doesn't sync even if pressing the sync now button.

 

[contacos]

is it just me or is Safari getting worse and worse with every iOS update?

Sometimes it just does not reload a page or I put in another URL but it’s reloading the previous website again while showing the url of the actual website in the address bar. Other times I try to go back a page but it’s just reloading the same page or goes back 2 pages. Mess

Omg 8 hours of screen on time? 3 hours right now and it’s a 15 Plus and all I really used was Safari

So, right now I'm standing at crossroads: I can downgrade back to iOS 17.4.1. (v1), stay on 17.4.1. (v2), downgrade to iOS 17.3.1. (still signed?!?) or Upgrade to 17.5. Beta 1. So many choices...

By the way: If I'm using Safari only, my % drops about 2% every 30minutes or so. @contacos: Hallo in meine Heimatstadt

I have 17.4.1 on both iPad and iPhone and they seem fine. Yet when I hook em up to MBP I see this: (below.) Is that the version I should stay away from?
