My text stopped working today, no one getting them and I am not receiving them from iPhones or non-iPhones.

Hard Reboot = No Help
Reset Network Settings = No Help
iMessage turned off - back on = No Help

Anyone else?

Funny I had this same exact problem happen to me on Friday. At first I thought awe it's a big my phone is messed up. Then I called in and me and the tech were like ok it's the SIM card. Got to the mall all of a sudden my phone started working go figure. Well still got a new SIM everything was all good. Got back home messed up again. Found out it was a concert down the street and had the whole network bogged down.

That has nothing to do with the OS. Definitely a carrier issue you're experiencing.

Are you talking about saving to camera roll? If so, mine saves fine.

pics save to the camer roll just fine. but i have photo stream turned on and usually in 5.1.1 it saves a duplicate pic to the photo stream as well as the camera roll. if i take a pic with the phone, it wont save to the stream, but will to the roll. screen shots or downloaded pics will. so i cant figure out why.

Mine is saving fine to photo stream for both iPhone and iPad. Not sure why it's not saving for you.

well, it didnt. hmmmm. anyone wanna turn their wifi off, take a pic and then maybe 20 mins later, put wifi on and see if it loads?

I just did and waited 15 mins and it uploaded to photo stream on both iPhone and iPad. Try maybe a hard reboot, reset settings, reset network settings, and maybe even a restore. Just suggestions that I would try to fix.

trying this myself as we speak. ill see what happens. thanks.

EDIT: it does work. odd that it didnt for the pic yesterday. however, the photos app was acting up and kept freezing and shutting itself down, like a force stop. maybe that was the cause.

I've noticed Photo Stream acting kinda wonky lately. Even while I'm running iOS 5

Signal strength variation

Folks I've been using very actively my iPhone with iOS 6 B3, seems that always-on-proximity-sensor does not have much impact on battery life (compared with iOS 5.1.1 on my 4S). Display brightness sometimes acts in a weird way, so bright in not too illuminated places (i.e. inside my car at night).

But lately I've noticed that signal strength drops suddenly to 4 flat lines (as it were with almost no signal) and stays that way until an imessage is sent or a call made. Compared to other work partners iphones 4S with iOS 5.X.X it doesn't happens.

Anyone had seen this also?

hi welcome to the beta process

auotdim is a feature that knowingly needs work as well as the radio/cellular bug. also, probably should not compare what you have to a stable build like 5.1.1 because it is.. well.. STABLE

Thank you BLiNK for your comments, when made comparison to others' iPhones was for reference only, knowing that a stable final release, like iOS 5.1.1 is ironed, compared to a 3rd beta release.

i havent seen this at all, but i have noticed the death grip becoming more pronounced. and this is in a full signal area, in an otterbox commuter case.
