Update problems in iOS 13
There are several reasons for error in iOS 13 updates. The most common is the one that says 'Calculating remaining time'. This happens when the update is not installing correctly, and it can be for various reasons. Among them, that the servers are saturated or that the WiFi connection is not very stable. To fix it, restart your iPhone and wait a few hours before updating. When updating, check that the terminal is connected to a stable WiFi network and that it has sufficient battery, as well as available internal storage.
My iPhone 6 won't update to iOS 13
This is not an error, and it is that the iPhone 6 does not have support for iOS 13, so both this model and the Plus version are not compatible with the latest version of iOS. The reason is that the processor is not powerful enough. Yes, the iPhone 6s and 6S Plus are compatible, as well as the first generation iPhone SE, since they have a more powerful Apple Chip.
Battery fails in iOS 13
E l error affecting most users iOS iOS 13 and 13.4. The battery doesn't last like it used to or wears out quickly. This bug has been fixed in some updates, but it is likely that you continue to have problems on your iPhone. For now, and until Apple releases another update, it is advisable to activate the low-power mode. In this way we can save a little more battery on our iPhone. To do this, go to Settings> Battery> Low Power Mode. Activate this option.
The battery widget does not appear on my iPhone
Actually, this is not a bug in iOS 13, but a feature that needs to be enabled in a somewhat complicated way. In the iPhone with notch (iPhone X onwards), iOS does not show the battery percentage on the upper side, since otherwise it would occupy the entire notification area. What we can do is activate a widget so that it appears on the side of the home screen. So we can not only know how much battery our iPhone has, but other Bluetooth products. This Widget is only activated if we connect a Bluetooth device. For example, AirPods, headphones, a speaker etc. That is why it does not appear when you look for it in the list to add it.
How is it added? First, connect a Bluetooth device to your iPhone. It can be any device, it doesn't have to be something from Apple. Of course, it has to run on battery. For example, a PowerBank, a Speaker, a smartwatch or headphones. When connected, go to the Widgets area on the left side of the home screen. Click on the button that says 'Edit'. In 'More Widgets', find the Battery and click the add button. Now you can order it in the upper area and the Widget will remain, even when there is no bluetooth device paired on the iPhone.
Won't connect to Bluetooth
One of the most common errors in iOS 13: the bluetooth device does not connect or the iPhone cannot find one to do the pairing.You have to follow a series of steps to get it working again. First of all, check if iOS is updated to the latest version. Many pairing issues are being fixed with a software update. If it still doesn't work, link the device you want to use. To do this, go to Settings, then Bluetooth, and press the 'i' button. Then click on 'Skip Device'. On the device that won't connect, disable pairing. Restart the terminal and pair it again. If it still doesn't pair, check if that device is paired with another device. For example, to an iPad, computer or other mobile. Remove the connection from that device.
If it connects but doesn't work, head to Settings> Privacy> Bluetooth. Check that the app you use with the device is activated. For example, if you are using Bluetooth bulbs, check that the bulb app has permission to access wireless connections. Otherwise it won't work.
Problems with WiFi networks in iOS
Do you have problems with the WiFi signal on your iPhone? This error happens in some versions of iOS 13 and in the latest Apple models. The company released an update to solve it, so you should check that your iPhone already has the latest version of iOS. You just have to go to Settings> General> Software update. If the iPhone is updated to the latest version, but you still see errors when connecting to the WiFi network, go to Settings> WiFi. Next, select the WiFi network and click on the 'i' icon that appears on the side. Click on 'Skip this network'. Turn off WiFi and restart the device. When it starts, reactivate the WiFi network and enter the password.
If it still does not work, deactivate location services for WiFi networks. This makes the connection better. Of course, if we deactivate this option, the apps will not be able to locate us when we are connected to the network. Among them, Google Maps or applications that use our location. To disable location services go to Settings> Location> System services> WiFi and Bluetooth network connection. Turn off the option.
If the problems persist, you should reset the network settings. This will erase all the WiFi networks saved on the iPhone, as well as the Bluetooth connections. Go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset network settings.
Mobile data service is disabled: the solution
Do you see a message on your iPhone that says "Mobile data service is disabled" or "No service"? It is another frequent error in iOS and that fortunately has a solution. We tell you several methods to correct the problem.
- Remove the SIM card from your iPhone and insert it again. Enter the PIN and see if it works.
- Turn off airplane mode for a few minutes. Then, re-enable airplane mode and wait for the network to connect.
- Reset network settings. It is done in Settings> General> Reset> Reset network. Note that this also clears WiFi networks, so you will have to enter the password again.
Low coverage on iOS
This error is solved in a similar way to mobile data service failures: remove the SIM and insert it again, deactivate and activate Airplane Mode or reset the network settings to see if the error is solved. Also, avoid using covers with metallic components so that the bands allow to capture the coverage.
My iPhone restarts only with iOS 13
If your iPhone restarts with only iOS 13, it may be due to different reasons. For example, the battery has reached its useful life and is empty. To do this, it is advisable to take the iPhone to a technical service and have the battery changed (it has a cost). How can I tell if the battery has reached its useful life? In Settings> Battery> Battery health> Maximum capacity. Below the percentage, the system will tell you if it is possible that you suffer unexpected reboots in the system.
If your battery is fine, the problem is likely being caused by an app. Check for new app updates or uninstall the latest apps you downloaded to your iPhone and see if the reboots persist. If they continue, you will need to reset your device to factory settings. You can do it in Settings> General> Reset> Delete content and settings.
Problems with FaceTime
Apple fixes the issues with FaceTime in the latest update (iOS 13.4.1). These problems were in a connection failure when we were trying to make a video call with some other user who had an iOS version. Update the system to version 13.4.1 to resolve this error.
