7.1 update

[riturajsharma19]

Now its up to you whether to update or not. Be sure to tell us your decision!

Thanks. However, my query was more on the overall performance of 7.1. Does it feel as slick as ios 6.1.3 did, or are there still some of the stutters and lags that most users had reported to being present on ios 7.0?

iOS 7.1 has got rid of most of the lags experienced on older versions of iOS 7.

Updated to iOS 7.1. All what I needed in Jb is found now in iOS 7.1.

I downloaded update 7.1 yesterday and have been unable to get online with my wifi since. I am now on my windows desktop - in desperation.

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

Did you do a restart or reset after the update? Always a good idea.

Restart - Press and hold the power off button, the one at the top right. You will see a slide appear to power off, slide this and the screen will go dark and a Whirly will appear. When the Whirly disappears your iPad is now off. Press the power button again until the Apple logo appears, this will take a few seconds and your iPad will restart. You should restart your iPad occasionally also as it will keep it running well. Now see if it is operating.

Reset - Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you may see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start.

If those steps don't fix it have a look here, in particular Twerppoet's great post

Check to see if there are any updates for your router also.

Lol! I hope so too!

I was crashing back to the Apple logo every few days, that hasn't happened yet but it's early days still.

But it feels different regardless, more seamless for me when switching apps!

Never had problems with it whatsoever.

Seems like iOS 7.1 has made my iPad's battery life last longer. Not really show by how many but tomorrow gonna test it out. iOS 7.1 made my iPad faster.

My update size is 1.4gb. I tried downloading it through iTunes but the download failed midway. It just doesn't allow me to pause and resume the download. If I download the update from my iPad, will it allow me to pause it in case my wifi throws up issues?
Can't tell you how frustrating it is to watch a failed download when it's almost done!

It took me about 2-3 hours to get it done, and the about 5-7 minutes to get it installed and working.

Sure installing thats not a problem for me. 5 or so minutes and its working fine.

Afaik there's no possibility to pause downloading the update.
You can choose to install it later, as soon as it's downloaded.
