That's been happening for years in iOS. It's a RAM limitation as I understand it. Very often it will need to unload Safari webpage data if it needs the memory elsewhere, resulting in the tab/page being forced to reload the data when you want to view it again. I'm unsure if iPad Air 2 is better in this regard.

iPhone Safari, landscape mode. No time at the top even when pulling down to see address bar.

It's not just in Safari, happens in Messages too... it's strange, make the screen size bigger, and display less! Still the most annoying thing for me is if you're in landscape then go into another app and then return to your original app, it's now in portrait :angry: meaning you have to manually spin the phone in your hands to get it back each time!
Never had this with any previous version of iOS.

Oh right. Sorry. Not noticed that, as I very rarely use my iPhone for Internet browsing. I was thinking iPad.
I do personally feel that iOS is becoming a bit...well...complex. So many bugs are making it into production code. The same is true of OSX. There is a substantial amount of stuff in both operating systems that either doesn't work, or doesn't work properly. It's a cliched complaint, but "it just works" really doesn't seem very fitting these days. But then the alternatives are a hundred times worse IMO, so f**k it.

Agreed.
They're trying to produce something far more complex within the same time frame and I think it's really showing.
Just yesterday safari actually crashed my entire phone. Just browsing CS. I can't remember this ever happening on any other of my devices. The production code feels a lot more like a beta now, where as previously the release day software was so polished it was unreal. It's a shame really, as for me, part of the joy of the products is having something that does everything you want and just works.
Here's a query for you guys:
What usually causes iPhones to crash whilst browsing Safari?
I get it occasionally on my 5S and had it on my 4S previously. I've become used to it. You'll be flicking through a thread on a forum or a web page and suddenly it will throw you out. When you reopen Safari the tab you were on is blank.
Is it apple telling me I should install 8?

This was only to increase performance on older iPhones and iPads... shouldn't effect recent models at all really.
Cheers dude, I won't bother with it then.

Not yet.
At current I have a consistent issue with access camera from the lock menu. Flick it up and it just doesn't work, then go to unlock it and see what the problem is, the camera appears for a second then it unlocks as usual and the camera f***s off. Hugely annoying!
Although last night I used airdrop for the first time, massively impressed.

Instructions for wificall
1. Check your phone has the latest software version
Go to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone 5c, 5s, 6 or 6 Plus. If you already have the latest version of iOS installed it will tell you. If not, choose the Download and Install option. Make sure your phone is connected to WiFi and a power source, and tap to download the update. You may have to enter your passcode before installing. You will also need to update the Carrier Version. Go to Settings > General > About which will trigger the update. Complete this step after the 8.3 Upgrade. You should see 19.1 as the Carrier file.
2. Connect your phone to WiFi
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi on your iPhone. When WiFi is enabled, your phone will search for available WiFi networks. Tap the name of the network you want, enter the password and choose to join. Once you’re connected, you’ll see the WiFi logo appear in the status bar at the top left of your display.
3. Switch WiFi Calling on
Tap Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calls on your iPhone. Turn the Allow Wi-Fi Calls setting on. If you’re connected to WiFi, you’ll see WiFi Call at the top of your screen – and you’re ready to call and text over WiFi. It can take up to 24 hours to activate, but you will receive a text message when you are ready to go.
A couple of things to know before you get started
To begin with there are a couple of things which might make your call experience over WiFi Calling slightly unusual. Firstly, you’ll hear the international dialing tone when both parties are using WiFi Calling. And secondly, when a call is put on hold, the person on hold won’t hear the hold beeps. There will just be silence. We’re working to resolve these quirks, but it shouldn’t affect the quality of your service.
There may also be times when you’re using WiFi Calling when Visual Voicemail and picture messaging won’t work properly. You’ll still be prompted you have voicemail, and be able to access it in the standard way.

Doesn't everyone just have infinite free calls now? I have done for years and only pay £27 p/m for my contract.
8.3 has finally fixed the rotation problem though! Only took 7 months

It's all well and good having unlimited minutes, but if you don't have signal you can't use them

I've noticed recently that my 5S battery life has become shockingly bad.. From 6am with moderate usage it's down to 60% by 9am and has turned itsself off by 3-4pm. It was never usually like this,
Quite often now the battery life indicator plays up too so I can be outside using the camera with say 45% battery left and take a couple of pics and the phone turns itself off battery dead, won't turn back on. So I plug it in to charge and it comes back on at 45% again.
I'm still on ios7 is this apple forcing me into updating... ?

I get this all the time. Annoying as s**t. I'm still on 7 however.

My battery seems to have been dreadful of late too. Maybe I'm using it more, but not that I've noticed.

Are you still on ios7 deeg?

Interesting..so may not be software related if it's also on ios8?

No mate, I'm on 8. I assumed it was because my phone is always on/off charge. I plug it in in the car, then unplug it for a bit, then back in again etec.
I'll wait to see if it happens since changing to 8.3 now

Good point! I spend half my life at work in concrete bunkers without signal... they've recently installed routers in them, but we're not allowed on them for some reason. Might have a case to fight here
