ben87r Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Howdy all, Finding my ozrunways is running pretty slow now on an iPad mini 3G 16gb and telstra. Needed to load the radar into HLC this arvo and it ended up freezing and reloading, seems to only be since the new updates. Anyone else notice it/have a fix?! I'm hardly tech savy but to me it seems like I might need to upgrade the iPad, I so I'll be fuming (read broke for Christmas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickduncs84 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Should run fine on an ipad mini with 3g. Oz runways can be quite buggy at times. Have you tried turning the ipad off and back on again? Also try doing a restore via iTunes and then reinstalling Oz runways... I've noticed the maps refreshing every few seconds since the new update. As I said, it's buggy, but the best thing to do is make sure iOs is the latest version, ozrunways is the latest version and then reset your ipad before each flight.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRamsay Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 "Preflighting the iPad" is a lesson I've learned the hard way. Cleared the circuit and turned in the general direction of home, switched on the iPad and found my plan had inadvertently been deleted. Not a big problem but not a nice position to be in.

ben87r Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hey Nick, Yea it all up to date and gets turned off a bit. I've had the iPad for over 18months now and it's something that has been happening over time. Won't be upgrading any time soon tho, my iPhone buggered out yesterday so just bought a new one of them. Had another member say that ozrunways has recommended to keep enough space available, mine is always full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andys@coffs Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 When your tablet gets to be about 4 years since it was first released, my suggestion is to not rush into iOS updates...let others test first..... before you apply them, say 2 weeks after 1st release, I would Google your device and words like problem, slow, new ios version to see if there are suddenly half the world complaining that the latest update has suddenly killed performance..... It happened a few years back on the iphone 4s when I think ios 6 (or maybe 7) was released....iphone 4s became almost unusable after the update I'm probably old enough and cynical enough that I know manufacturers want people to turn over their gear at a regular interval and what better way to do that than to code in some planned obsolescence. There are security implications for not upgrading.....but in general I would not be too concerned....but enough that if you choose not to apply updates etc then I probably wouldn't then do internet banking on the device or log onto secured sites that you definitely don't want credentials being compromised etc. But running OzRunways.. ok providing that battery performance is still Ok and the device is still reliable. ipad mini (the original) was from memory the same internals (apart from screen size) as the ipad 2 so it's getting on a bit in age now...

Birdseye Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 How much free memory do you have currently? May be time to have a clean out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 It was <half a GB but with a it of a clean out now about 2GB. that's another thing,with the new IOS, I've only got 12gb available. Looks like the software take up allot more room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the software take up allot more room. Yes it does take up more room. I was persuaded to go for the 32Gb on the basis that the upgrade would take most of the 16Gb by itself! Other than memory, I can think of nothing else that should affect the operating of OzRunways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yea I do regret getting the 16GB, but the new iPhone is a 32GB so I'll pull most of the stuff off the iPad i think and have it just for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayavner Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 my iPad mini started doing this recently, slow, freezing, locking up, etc. Most prevalent after "upgrade" to ios 8. Per recommendation of the tech guys at OzR, I uninstalled it and redownloaded/reinstalled, and that seems to have fixed it up. Probably just got itsself corrupt after too many OS and app upgrades over time and needed a refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Similar problems.......hold down both buttons until it turns off, then restart as normal. Just remembered....before you do that, swipe off all background stuff lurking on the iPad. Mines good as gold now.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayavner Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 yeah mine had gotten past that point unfortunately, but yeah that should help for most problems. First clue things were getting corrupt was when importing a flight plan from Bankstown to Coff's and it showed up as 32000 nm or something crazy.

dlegg Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I am finding that when bringing up a waypoint from the map, then going to wx/notams that the text box is too small and missing parts of the wx. Anybody else having this problem and what is the fix? On a mini... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickduncs84 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yep. Been a problem since I've started using it. Not just on mini either... No idea why they haven't fixed it yet. Seems to be less of an issue if you select the apt when it's in the middle of the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Maybe another issue but, I've never been able to get the TAF by selecting the WX section, I've had to select the aerodrome through the aerodrome "look up" then select FAC, and then select the little weather cloud at the top of the screen. Is that standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdseye Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Noted that the screenshot on the OZR web site also shows truncated weather info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjr Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Not being able to zoom wx is annoying In rough flight, need to be able to do this I think Also way too easy to cancel wx box trying to scroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
