I had a strange situation yesterday which caused me to restore the phone back to iOS 5 b6 with a backup from several days earlier.

I noticed the pesky usage = standby issue again yesterday. In the past, doing a hard reset fixed it... but this time I decided to explore a bit. So I shut the phone off and waited about 30 minutes. I powered the phone back on, and made a call and sent a couple of texts, then set my phone down on my desk. After about an hour I picked it up to check Twitter and discovered that it had shut off again. Next, I powered it back on and attempted to use the phone - and ALL apps except the native Apple/iOS apps (text, mail, phones, maps, etc) flashed open and then crashed back to the home screen. Nothing that I did would cause the phone to respond correctly, including doing a hard reset.

I hooked it up to my MacBook and tried to sync - it went through the motions, but nothing actually synched... so I chose to restore to iOS 5 b6 and then restored from back up that was 2 days old. GRRRR.

A day later, no issues are evident...

does anybody have problems with syncing stuff to your phone from itunes like photos and books?

I have issues when syncing with WiFi.
Certain things don't sync.

Also I have some ringtones that it says won't work with this device :/

Very weird. Something was going haywire with your phone.

Does any one have the problem where they compose a text and use the camera button in Messages, take a photo, hit Use and then when it goes back the message thread is scrolled up and you can't see the message you were composing unless you go back to all conversations and then go back to original conversation?

Yeah, I doubt it was related at all the the beta 6 release... just mentioned it to see if anyone had seen/heard of anything similar... chalking it up to the phase of the moon or some other nonsense.

You mean a brand new refurb! ;)

Apple can't refurb any phones, it's illegal under California law (which Apple must abide by) to refurbish anything that touches your face. The only thing that can be reused is the logic board - everything else: housing, screen, battery, digitizer, etc. is brand new and assembled in the USA.

Hi,

After triggering the home button on the assistive touch, I can't seem to pull down the notification center on beta 6. Anyone has this issue?

thanks....

Same. Turning assistive off brings the notification blind back. But use it and it stops again.

My battery is horrible compared to beta 5. I can't get through 12 hrs of minimal use like I was able too.

Yeah I agree. I ave to watch more on how much I use it or I won't make it through the day. Beta 5 battery was solid.
