I do not know your original problem because I did not read the last page but Google Photos is quite convenient to back up photos as an alternative to the iCloud.
I had no idea that app existed, thank you
Reposting because I'm still having problems:
You can disable (reduce) them in accessibility settings.
I should clarify, I'm looking for an alternative to this glitch.

Depends on the specific issue and the method of backup

On iOS10 there's a way to do it using some special wallpaper, but only on iphone 5 and 5s. See here: https://youtu.be/FJJJw2X8vJY?t=9m00s

I really wish you could choose what to restore. Like you can with macOS and Migration Assistant.

So for the past month or so, my mail app hasn't automatically updated with new emails without me opening the app. Anyone know what could be causing this? It might've started with 10.2.1 but I don't remember.
Sorry if this was answered somewhere.

check settings>mail>accounts and make sure fetch new data is set to push to have it download asap.

It already is. All the mail settings look right. Edit: Actually looking more into it, when I select my mail account, it only has fetch and manual for the schedule. Does this mean it doesn't support push? Used to work just fine.
This happened to me all the time, even before iOS 10. Wasn't able to find a solution, so I switched to the official Gmail app.
I tunnel all my Gmail (both receive and send) through an outlook mail for push notifications. Been doing that for years now.

Who's your email provider?
If it's gmail they haven't supported push in some time, so you'll have to set it to fetch and then set the fetch schedule

Yahoo. Is it possible they just recently stopped supporting it?
They favor their own Yahoo Mail app as well these days. Push via the iOS mail app has been unreliable with Yahoo for some time.

Typical fix is to remove/re-add the mail account.

Does anyone happen to know if there's a way to run apk apps (Android) on iOS without jailbreaking? I'm using an Iphone 6S.

Oh hey, this worked. Thank you!
Sorry for the long time for my reply, havent looked into this thread for quiete some time.
But does a Restore and A Backup from iCloud play against a try to fix the battery bug where suddenly 30 or 40 percent of the battery life are skipped?
I know, I am annoying with this issue, but I want to know about this before running season starts again. I was just out for a short run and I just barely made it back home.
Edit: Of course I was in this thread, I just have overseen your post as it looks like, urks^^

In my experience no, that would work just fine. Restore through iTunes, restore your backup from iCloud, should be good to go a long as the physical battery is doing fine. The restore from iCloud will take a while, be prepared
I cant restore from iTunes, I have protected my Backup with a password and have sadly forgotten it... am I fine when I just reset it and then restore from the Cloud?

Restore has two different definitions in Apple land. It means both to reinstall the operating system, and to bring your stuff back from a backup. Yes it's confusing. You're looking to restore the OS through iTunes and then restore your backup from iCloud

Anytime!
Safari keeps forgetting the currently active tab. Often I'll have active gaf threads open in separate tabs but I'll open safari and it'll just be a blank page. If I bring up the tab switcher it shows the preview of the page it should be correctly, but then it disappears when I bring it into focus
The other tabs are ok, just the one I open up on. Really annoying

Another thing I noticed, when I refill the battery my iPhone after its completly empty, the time that the device needs to get around 30-40% is super fast, its like 15-30 minutes with the original Apple gear. I have a hard time remembering how fast it was in the past, but I am sure it always took more time? Is this another symptome of the battery bug?
Sorry to ask so much about that topic, but I am thinking more and more about just get a new battery, since I am not sure if I get a new iPhone this year.
Edit: The App Battery Life says that there is a 49% wear out on the battery... Is this app reliable? Or can maybe the bug also play into this?
Edit2: Used the Apple Service App and send my phone diagnostics... Yeah, the battery seem to be worn out. Seems like I need to find a good repair service. When done in a Apple Store, can I give it to them and take it back like one hour later?

ProCam does this.

Sorry man, I was really hoping a restore would help
Battery repairs are done on-site at Apple Stores but the repair time is fully dependent on how many repairs they have at that moment. 1-3 hours is usually the spread, possibly more if you're in a crazy busy location on a weekend

6S here, so I just noticed today im getting some image retention. Use auto brightness and 90% of the time it's at about 1/3rd brightness. Screen auto locks after 2 minutes. This is a first for me, at least on my phone, I have two plasma tvs. Running a quick YouTube screen wipe fixes it but it's still coming back. Very strange. What would cause this? LCD panel starting to fail?

Apple bought the automation app Workflow, making it totally free starting today.
Here's hoping it becomes a core part of iOS 11! That would be phenomenal

Whoa what when did that happen. Thats some crazy shit.
well that explains the update released today:
Edit: Marco just revealed on the ATP live recording that Workflow sent out legal letters a few weeks ago to companies/authors of the APIs they interface with (including Overcast) to clarify and establish that Workflow can use those APIs. Marco immediately suspected then that Workflow was being acquired and now speculates on this livestream that Google didn't respond to those letters which is why Workflow is removing support (so Apple isn't being a jerk). I don't completely buy that speculation because Google already offers standardized contracts for some of their APIs to companies that want to build a business around it. Obviously Maps action now using Apple Maps is a directive from Apple imo

So I was listening to a podcast called Connected last week and they were talking about Workflow for a good while and I just had the sensation "Apple is going to buy this app soon"
And holy hell they did

Wow, that's cool. And also rather surprising/ironic/sad considering they just let go their longtime Mac automation Product Manager Sal Soghoian who was in charge of Automator and Applescript.
iOS automation good, Mac automation bad? Weird.

Its a hell of an app. I use to have all sorts of nuts stuff rigged up in it.. but it just kinda fell out of my repertoire. Hard to believe the iOS release/reveal cycle is starting up again..

How does Workflow compare to IFTTT?

Deleted member 22576

No idea, never really used IFTTT.
iOS-only versus CrossPlatform. I own both but stuck with IFTTT for my few tasks

Yeah IFTTT certainly seems to be the more popular of the two. But I imagine Workflow will become deeply integrated with Siri, HomeKit, and other iOS apis in iOS 11.
That kind of scripting is not really something I've ever felt a need for, but if it enables more sophisticated tasks with Siri I'm all for it. Siri feels so braindead sometimes, like when I ask Siri to set up an appointment with one of my contacts, she doesn't set the contact's location as the destination so I have to manually edit the calendar event.
