iOS 5.0 beta 2 Bugs and Issues

[Garz]

Hasn't worked for me on either beta 1 or 2. I don't know enough people that actually use to confirm if this is a restriction placed on the beats or a bug.

Yeah wondering the same thing.

What you could try, and I'm not sure if you'll want to if you have a massive library all organized. You uninstall iTunes totally, uninstall then reboot, delete the iTunes program folder in Program Files, NOT the one under Music!!! Then go into your username and empty the Temp folder. In Win Vista/7 it's AppData/Local/Temp. Do a search there is an Apple folder in your user profile with firmware versions empty that out and reboot. Then install iTunes and then reload your iPad see how it is?

I may try this, but would I also lose all of my apps and settings? Or would there be a way to save that?

Define broke. What device? Have not experienced any problems on beta 1 or 2.

Damn, didn't notice about facetime. Worked fine in Beta 1. Not a big deal, I only use it with one person and she can wait until beta 3.

my son enjoys interrupting me a work with a facetime chat. he'll have to go back to texting instead for a while. perhaps with ota functional, fixes can be pushed through quicker via delta updates.

seems like the "dark screen, need to hard reset to use the device" bug is still there.

Can confirm that Facetime doesn't work neither on iPhone 4 nor on iPad 2 using beta 2.
Damned .....

Why do people feel that apps that don't work is a bug with the os? The apps that don't work will continue to not work until the developers can update them to work under iOS 5. After all, that's the real purpose for the beta, not so TiPb readers can oooh and ahhh about the fancy new features.

That's not necessarily true Alli. Echofon did not work with beta 1 and now works with beta 2. While I do agree with you that MOST of the time app-specific problem are usually corrected by devs re-coding various parts of the apps, there are time when OS calls, API's, whatever are corrected in the OS and things auto-magically start working again.

I heard Bla1ze state on twitter last night he had this bug and he did a hard reset and it fixed it.

FaceTime has been disabled in beta 2 by apple. MMS picture saving bug now fixed. Camera roll thumbnail bug now fixed. Battery life improved over beta 1 but still not as good as 4.3.3.

One important thing to remember before and after installing these betas is to READ THE RELEASE NOTES. If you don't have a dev account, then make sure to ask around before installing. For example, you would know that FaceTime has been disabled by Apple in beta 2 because it is in the release notes. Likewise, you would ok now that wifi sync will only work on Mac with the latest updates to OSX and iTunes. I learned the hard way too, but the release notes are important!

Again, I am unable to copy and paste in Safari. It truly is a maddening bug.

I immediately encountered a Messages app bug. Almost every time I open up messages there is a blank message thread from 1 particular person and even if I delete it, it will almost always come back the next time I open up Messages. Tried reboot, tried hard reset.. might just have to wipe everything and install beta 2 again.

 

[ghostface147]

Camera roll thumbnail bug now fixed.

No, not for me.

Is anyone having problems with the auto-brightness? Since the update mine just doesn't seem to pick up the light no matter what, my screen will always stay bright even if I cover the senors

 

[megscd]

No, not for me.

If you mean you tap on a thumbnail and it pulls up a totally different photo that isn't even ON the camera roll, not for me either. Is there a fix for this? It's super inconvenient to have a Russian roulette camera roll.

Has anybody experienced weird springboard crashes during phone calls? I may try restoring.
