iOS Beta 4 bugs/findings thread

[chriscoleman]

Netflix was not working for me either (hasn't worked on any ios 5 beta build yet). I deleted the netflix app, then reinstalled it via app store, and it's now working... Sweet!!

This......to get Netflix working. I followed your post, and finally Netflix is working again.

UPDATE: It looks like the install of iTunes didn't take. The installer shows a different version number than the current version of iTunes. Running the installer a second time.

old ------------------------
updated to beta 4 of iTunes for Windows (64bit) and an OTA update to iOS5 beta 4, synced with iTunes 2 or 3 times, still no WiFi Sync feature available within iTunes in the Summery section for my iPhone.

Same here.Loaded Beta 4 OTA no problem, iTunes for Windows updated to Beta 4,good to go,but no Wi-Fi sync

Something else I've noticed is that springboard seems to be crashing every once in a while when notifications come in (I've noticed it with emails and SMSs). Doesn't happen too often (maybe 2-3 times total so far), and the springboard generally restarts in about 7 seconds, so it doesn't bother me much.

Plugged in phone to power, opened iTunes went to Summary, Options checked off Sync with Wi-Fi and presto............

Yeah, that's kind of the key to making it work...

Also, I'm noticing that every time I'm sending a text message, it always says "Sending message 2 of 2." This may be unique to me, however, so I'll try restarting to see if it fixes it.

I'm having this issue too. It's extremely annoying.

so are there any actual new features or mainly just bug fixes in this version?

Done this for both pad2 and touch4, I can sync iPad but not touch over wifi.

Sorted the photo album bug - this version of iTunes (not necessarily iOS) no longer recognizes nested folders. It will sync all your folders as long as they contain photos, but not other folders containing folders (although it used to work just fine this way).

Moved all my folders out of the parent directories, and all is fine now.

Did I at one point read something about iCloud syncing not working again? It keeps telling me my password is correct, but my device is not authorized to use iCloud.

Ok...this is getting stranger and stranger. Not only can I no longer access iCloud syncing, but my WiFi sync has stopped. As soon as I unplug my phone from my Mac the connection is gone.

Gonna try installing iTunes again.

*****

Update - reinstalling got wireless sync working again. Still at a loss about iCloud sync though.

I have the issue to where it will not sync over wifi. It sync's fine (except no photo's) plugged into the computer. Yes all the correct boxes are checked both on the phone and the PC. The only thing I can think of is that it's because my computer doesn't have a wifi card. It's connected to the router by a cable. I will dig out a spare wifi card tomorrow and see if that's the reason.

At this point I am pretty sure it's feature complete, maybe next beta at the latest. Now it's time to fix the outstanding bugs.

[whatifyouknowmyname]

Can anyone confirm if the following apps work?

1. WeatherPro
2. Dropbox
3. Photoforge2
4. Web Albums

Also, is battery life as bad as beta 1 before I install beta 4.

Many thanks.

2.,3.,4 is working just fine for me. No.1 I don't have.

I had pretty terrible battery life on betas 1 and 2, but I was restoring from a backup on both of those. I'm going to set up as a new iPhone for beta 4 and see if I can get some decent battery life.
