I don't get foreign characters but I do get typing lag.

Seems worse on stw than other sites but that could just be that I type more on here than others?

[edit] [i]Fine on my android phone. [/i] It's fine on my netbook and PC too, if that helps the OP 😕

Never seen any foreign letters coming up on my keyboard.

Do you mean the accented characters you get when you hold a key down like this:

I do get an initial typing lag on the site (and on some others).
Maybe a second or two. But I just keep typing and it catches up.

Only started when I did the latest software update, think there's been a couple of posts regarding the problem before! And I wouldn't swap the IPhone for that android tat! 😉

Does suggest the problem lies elsewhere. However, I'll have a look and see if there is anything we can do to improve it.

DefyDude.

Exactly.

Those iPhoners should treat themselves to a decent phone and a cloud that works.
Instead of whinging and asking for the web to roll-over just for their phones, a la BBC stylee.

Solo, yes but iPhones account for almost 10% of visits so I'm happy to spend some time ensuring support.

Working fine when I send in a letter although it means that someone at ST Towers has to then transfer it on to the thread and by the time it appears it's usually a couple of days too late and the thread is dead and buried...

[i]sent by iPhone 7[/i]

Pfft.

iPhone 7 my white hairy arse.

I have upgraded to the jPhone because the number got so big they had to move on to the next letter instead.

I don't understand. How do all these people have iPhones (jPhones!?!?!), that are not even released yet? I just rang Carphone Warehouse, and they said the latest one they had was the 4S.....not even heard of the jPhone, which I assume must be for the Japanese market?

It's OK. I found it for you. The ring tone is crap but it has a great vibrate option.

Fine on my iPad. Try quitting some apps to free up ram.

How does that work then?

(note: I'm being sarcastic. Pet hate of mine, people being wrong on the internet 😉 Or possibly very genuine, if you can actually prove ram is freed up http://speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html )

Sounds like the "Dubliner defence" as opposed to the "Edinburgh defence" where an idiot covers his tracks by being a troll all along 😉

Is that a variant of the Edinburgh defense?

Well I feel like an idiot for upgrading my iPhone 5 for an iPhone 6 in Hong Kong last month.

Wish I hadn't bothered. The new version of the personal assistant is rubbish, doesn't know anything.

Although quite aptly named "Sori"

Hi IA,
I'm not an iOS developer but am trying to help. If I give misinformation, it is not malicious but rather a symptom of my inability to achieve perfection 🙂

Limited time to go through that. However, am I misreading or is there a large caveat at the end.
"The system handles almost every case for you and well written audio, GPS, VOIP, Newsstand and accessory apps will handle the rest."

Without the tools to benchmark iPhone performance on all of a users background apps I can't be sure that one of their apps isn't using RAM.

If you take what Apple says as gospel how do you explane how Safari freezes on my iPad and can only be force quit via the Multitasking bar. Surely the system is supposed to handle the freeze and quit Safari for me?

Quitting apps and restarting the device appears to me to solve many app performance issues - would be genuinely good to know if this is an illusion and I am better to just stare at it until it fixes itself.

Yep, quitting "background" apps is frequently suggested by iPhone developers too. Especially for big memory intensive games like Infinity Blade:

"Shut down all other Apps running in the background, including Infinity Blade, then re-start Infinity Blade."
-- http://epicgames.com/infinityblade/faq.html

Yes I believe the OS handles most instances of this, but I guess freeing up memory etc causes delays/stutters and some apps may not handle these well.

iPhone 7s is fine, but then I don't have to type, the phone just reads my mind and hey presto it appears on the screen.
