IOS version 12 Main Issue


iOS is a mobile operating system, developed by Apple Inc. for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and HomePod. Updates for iOS are released through the iTunes software and, since iOS 5, via over-the-air software updates. With the announcement of iOS 5 on June 6, 2011, a USB connection to iTunes was no longer needed to activate iOS devices; data synchronization can happen automatically and wirelessly through Apple's iCloud service. Major new iOS releases are announced yearly during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and are usually released in September of the same year, usually coinciding with the release of new iPhone models. On September 24, 2019, Apple rebranded the operating system for the iPad line to iPadOS. iPadOS is similar to iOS but has received a few tablet oriented features. The most recent stable release for iPhone and iPod Touch, iOS 13.3.1, was released on January 28, 2020. The most recent beta release, 13.4 beta 4, was released on March 3, 2020.

iOS 12.4.5 users have discovered problems lurking in the newest version of iOS 12. The latest version of iOS 12 is causing problems for some iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users. Some of these problems are new, others have carried over from the previous versions of iOS. The current list of iOS 12.4.5 problems includes weird battery drain, issues with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth problems, issues with Touch ID, sound problems, and more.

If you are using an iPhone 6s or newer, and you’re still running iOS 12, think about upgrading to Apple’s iOS 13 update. It could help. In here we’ll take you through fixes for the most common iOS 12 problems. If you’re dealing with battery drain, connectivity issues, or something else entirely, take a look at our list before you get in contact with customer service or take your device into a store.

Issue and Fix for Cellular Data Connection:

After the release of iOS 12 update, a number of users reported that their devices were often cut from mobile data connections. This issue restricted many devices from making or receiving phone calls and even text messages were blocked. Some users also reported that the issue restricted them from connecting to known Wi-Fi network, severely affecting the use of the device. According to 9to5Mac, a temporary fix has been identified which fixes the devices affected by this issue. If you are affected by network issues after iOS 12 update then you can try this temporary fix.

The first fix for the issue involves disabling Wi-Fi calling option from iPhone’s Settings app. This can be changed from Settings -> Phone -> Wi-Fi Calling. By default, the Wi-Fi calling option will be On, you can tap on the toggle to turn it Off. The second fix involves disabling LTE option for voice and data connectivity. This can be done by heading to Settings -> Mobile Data -> Mobile Data Options -> Enable 4G. In this field, change the setting from Voice and Data to Data Only.

Issue and Fix for Installation updates and application:

If your download or installation gets stuck, there’s a simple fix that should take care of the problem.If you aren’t able to download the latest version of iOS 12, you’ll want to hard reset your phone or tablet. To do this, hold down the home button and the power button at the same time until the device reboots.

If you’re experiencing long download times, you’ll either want to wait a few minutes and try again or investigate your internet connection. It could be an issue with your router.

If one or more of your apps are giving your problems after updating to iOS 12, here are a few things you can try on your own before getting in contact with the developer.

Try restarting your device. Power done your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and power it back on. If that the app’s still acting weird, you’ll want to check the App Store for an update.

Developers are pushing out iOS 12 support updates and the latest version could fix these issues. Make sure you read reviews from iOS 12 users before you install the latest update. You can also try deleting the app and downloading it again. This has worked for us in the past.

If you still can’t figure out how to fix the problem, get in contact with the app’s developer and see if it knows about the issue. If it does, it might have a manual fix or an ETA on an update.

Issue and Fix for Random Reboots:

If your phone or tablet starts randomly rebooting itself (goes black for a second and comes back, goes black and you see the Apple logo, etc) here are a few fixes to try before you take your phone into Apple.

First, restart the device. Power it down for 30 seconds to a minute and then power it back up. If you haven’t turned your device off in awhile, this could help.

If you’re still noticing random reboot issues, update all of your applications. Check the App Store and make sure all of your applications are up-to-date.

Issue and Fix for Sound:

If you’re start noticing sound distortion, fuzziness, or no sound at all, here are a few steps to take. First, restart your device. Power it down, wait 30 seconds or so, and then turn it back on. This has worked for us numerous times.

If that doesn’t help, look at your speaker grille and check for any debris. If you notice something there, carefully remove it and see if your sound improves. If that doesn’t work, try toggling Bluetooth off and on. This sometimes fixes the issue.

If you’re experiencing sound issues in a specific app, try closing the app and restarting it. If that doesn’t work, you should download the latest update.

Issue and Fix for Touch ID:

If your device’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor suddenly stops working you’ll want to first make sure there isn’t any dirt or sweat on the Touch ID sensor. You’ll also want to make sure you don’t have any oil on your hands because this could cause the sensor to misread your fingerprints.

If none of those apply, you’ll want to try retraining your fingerprints on your device. To do that:

1.Go to Settings.
2.Tap Touch ID & Passcode.
3.Enter your Passcode if you have one.
4.On the next screen tap on each print and select Delete Fingerprint.
5.After you do this tap on Add a Fingerprint… to re-train your Touch ID.

Issue and Fix for Landscape stuck:

Our devices occasionally get stuck in landscape when trying to move the screen back into portrait mode. It’s a common iOS problem, but it’s one that you should be able to fix in seconds.

The first thing to try is locking and unlocking the device. Hit your power button once to shut off the screen and then enter your pin/use Touch ID/Face ID to open your device.

If that doesn’t help get the screen out of landscape, try restarting the device. Power it down, leave it off for a few seconds, and then power it back on.

If that doesn’t help you should try turning Reduce Motion off to see if that alleviates the issues. To do that:

1.Go to Settings.
2.Tap General.
3.Tap Accessibility.
4.Toggle Reduce Motion off.

You can always toggle it back on.

These are some of the issues we have discussed here and now the latest update of IOS which is iOS update 13 has addressed all the issues and as of now everything is going good... 

My suggestion would be update to 13 from 12 and let us know the review on the comment section. So that the readers would get some update over it. Thanks a lot...
