Noticing the same on mine and the other halves phone. We're both Eir sim only bill. iPhone 6 and 6S. Updated to iOS11 this week and have been getting constantly prompted for this. If I click ok it goes and activates a few mins after, but will prompt again after some time.

Anyone else seeing this/have a fix?

Be careful, every time you click ok you're sending an activation text to a UK number and there is a charge. I have paid about €10 over my last two bills without realising.

I'm also with Eir sim only and I was told I would have to contact Apple about it.
Make sure to click Cancel each time.

Thanks, I know about the text sent each time so haven’t been pressing ok all the time. When I was pressing cancel though my number was no longer activated for iMessage.

Anyway I think I found the root of the problem. I had previously activated WiFi calling, and since disabling that I haven’t got any prompt for iMessage activation. Same with herself. I’m waiting another day or so to be sure that’s it before I reactivate WiFi calling in case it starts happening again. I tried this as I noticed her phone was going crazy trying to switch network between ‘eir’ and WiFi calling. So far it’s fixed the iMessage pop up.

Ok, thanks. Good spot.

I have also disabled wifi calling and the messages appear to have stopped.

Do you think switching it back on will resolve it as I do lke the wifi calling.

Ever since updating my iPhone 7 to iOS 11 I've been receiving most messages twice, once as an iMessage, then a few minutes later as a text message. Anybody else experiencing this? Have googled remedies, but can't find any iOS 11-specific ones so far.

I was, until I noticed that manual fetch email was turned back to Automatic. Since then I'm getting 9-10hours screen on time on the 7 Plus

My fetch mail has always been on automatic but the battery life is still significantly worse on my 6s+. It's not even a slight drop in battery performance, the performance has gone off a cliff.

It's only 1pm and my battery is already at 70% after being off the charger since 9am. At this rate it'll die at 10/11pm which is pretty rubbish battery time, considering before the update I was going to bed at night with still 50%+ remaining.

2 things I did that seemed to improve battery life somewhat on my 6s
- close all safari tabs - i had a lot open and it seems they “phone home” on a regular basis which can’t be good for battery
- turn off push email - I’ve always used this as well but imap malfunctions are pretty common and Apple has been tinkering with this

I'm having the same issue, need to keep Low Battery Mode on permanently. Estimate that stand-by power consumption has at least doubled since updating.

Must be official rather than beta. No sign of it in my settings yet.

Is it normal for an official release go ahead of a public beta release version? Can’t remember it happening before.

peteeeed

Yeah it’s official

How can you tell that already?

I am on the beta program and not seeing this update which is strange.

Delete the beta profile and restart.

Because it used 5% battery over the course of an hour’s use, where it previously would have used that on standby.

Will that mean you’ve left the beta programme and are back on official updates only?

Yes. But I assume you can sign back on easily enough.

Also noticing a major battery improvement on an iPhone 6 which is good to see.

I don't understand how Apple can release these versions with battery issues.

I think it shows how Apple have become less concerned about user experience over the last few years.

Yep ... clicking ok certainly charges you!
Also an Eir (former Meteor) customer ...

Have had this pop up twice

Is there a setting for this, or is it a glitch? The keyboard is constantly in the middle of screen. It's awful for searching the web and really slowed down my tweeting at a conference too.

Yes, I am still having this problem still.

Have found in Facetime settings that my number was not ticked and grey out. Clicked it, accepted charge, and got a tick beside it.

Thought all was good but a few hour later activation messages started again and
the number was greyed out again.

Driving me crazy.

Press the keyboard icon and select 'dock'.

Was downloading iOS 11.0.1 on iTunes a while ago and got an error message (4000). Not sure what caused it, but was too tired to try sort it so will try again in a few days

It won’t show up if you have the beta profile installed. You’ll have to delete the beta profile, restart the phone, then you should see it.

That’s what I did yesterday, about an hour before beta 11.1 came out. Probably would have left the beta profile on there if I had known, but I’ll leave it on official releases now for a while.

Any chance they did something with the podcast app on it.


For a company that likes to do things slick and stylishly they totally fcuk up the podcast app evey single time they upgrade it.

Use Castro, Overcast or Pocketcasts in that order. All three are actively developed, really good and Castro is developed by two Irish guys.

Ok getting that “carrier may charge” warning every couple of hours now!

Any solution out there?!

Yes, I eventually went on apple chat and got it resolved.

He got me to check Settings-Messages-Send and Receive.

Found that under "start new conversation" that my number was not ticked.

So he asked if me to try switching iMessage on and off again but it remained the same.

He asked if I was on Wifi which I was.

Then told me to sign out of my appleid, restart the phone and sign in again.

This caused Appleid settings to update, takes a few minutes and when it signed in it worked.

The settings screens may take a little while to update but when they do your number should be there and ticked.

Also noticed it took a while for some stuff to come back like contact pictures but everything is fine now.

I hope this helps.

Couldn't agree more! The search seems very limited.. (say, searching Joey Diaz within the Joe Rogan Exp, it lists only 5/6 from the last year or 2, when there are heaps more!) Unless I am doing something incorrectly?

That can be down to the podcast feed. Podcast owners keep their feeds short to help with the downloading of feeds on podcast clients. They could be only displaying the last x podcasts.

Thanks Murph .. have followed steps.

It it's still not working maybe you should go on a Apple chat.

They did ask for my serial number so maybe they did something at their end.

Sorted Murpho ... also contacted support.
They just said turn off both and wait. Took a bit but all activated now.

Some dodgy carrier settings with eir/meteor I would say. No coincidence we had the exact same issue and symptoms on the same carrier

Thanks for your help!

Ok, mine just went again and had to go through the process again. A real pain.

Let me know how yours goes after a few days.

How do you now see your iTunes balance in iOS11? Similarly how can you change between apple accounts from one region to another?

It used to be very straightforward in the App Store in iOS10 but it’s changed now.

I’m finding Watch OS4 incredibly buggy. Aside from notifications I use the fitness functions on it. The new way it handles the music controls is causing conflicts with Nike Running. Plus using the force close of apps isn’t always closing the apps.

You can turn off the music app automatically popping up and taking over the screen. I’ve a Series 1 and find it the same as before, battery has been the same too.
