iOS Beta 4 bugs/findings thread

ok so my new addiction today is: Settings > General > Software Update > (Checking Updates...)

Thanks, Garz!!!

Maybe we need a LED for that.

On a less snarky note, the last couple of times Apple has released a new beta, it was about 1:00 PDT... so we're still a couple of hours away if it is coming today.

Haven't updated yet. Does restoring through itunes is better?

 

[Fausty82]

Beta 5 could be pushed out today... Not confirmed though if it actually will. Just throwing this info out.

It's looking like it's not happening today...

 

[Fausty82]

great. just when i was going to try to stay away from the internet for the weekend! ...i guess that's the benefit of the OTA update(s)??

Looks like you won't be bothered with a pesky iOS5 beta update this weekend, after all.

 

[Hack3r]

Damn I was pretty excited since my Bluetooth is acting up on the real . Almost unbearable . I want a update now lol

fiddle-sticks! maybe i should change my username to: Ios5beta5

 

[Nickmerc7]

Agreed... my Bluetooth is unbearable. Very annoying listening to Podcasts when the "drops" come.

headphone controls no longer working

did not realize until today but my headphone controls are no longer working (volume up or down & pause) i know it was working for sure on beta 3

i looked over the changelog and did not see anything pertaining to this. now i am not so sure if it is a hardware issue

Bugs in iOS 5 Beta 4

Just after one day with the iOS 5 beta 4, I found so many bugs that this possibly cannot be the last beta before the GM release in September!
I'll just list what I have found and see if there is a fix around or if others are finding them also.
1. Loosing album art when transferring certain songs from iTunes to iPhone 4
2. The camera button located on the lock screen only appears when listening to songs on the Music app only.
3. Newsstand app will not be placed within a folder or moved of home screen.
4. Wi-Fi symbol changes to 3G symbol even though I am still connected to the Wi-Fi
5. Unsuccessful wireless sync with windows 7 64bit always
6. When re-arranging apps on itunes for the iphone 4, when pressed sync, looses all changes that were made.
7. Some notifications are not displaying correctly on the lock screen or are not being displayed at all.

I didn't know what forum to post, so hopes it ok here!
I couldn't find the official apple forums to post so if anyone can link them here please that'll be great!
Cheers

Not me. Mine is working "as designed".

It's a catch-22 situation. Apple has several sets of forums (http://discussions.apple.com is the customer based forum), including the developer forums buried within their developer site. Legally, you should not have the beta unless you are a developer or working with a developer and in any case, must have signed on to the NDA. I say that not to be judgemental, but to say that unless you are a developer, you can't "know" about it. if you are a developer, you cannot talk about it. The only place where you can legally discuss it is in the developers forums, behind the developer firewall.

Now, having said that, here's the thread on the forums for the bug/issue report:

I moved your post here to the right place. If you'll scroll back through this thread you'll find all your answers.

Nope. Was told it was possible but they couldn't get confirmation. I through it out there just in case. Oh well.

Still appreciate the "heads up". Does that mean that the next beta is close? like early next week? #hopeful

I have not heard anything else. If I do, I'll pass it along. I hope so though

thanks for checking guys. apparently it was my headphones and i'm on my way to the mall now to look at new

Found a new bug in safari. Sometimes in-line videos auto play. Kind of unnerving at times lol.

 

[kd5dmg]

Ahh ok thank you! Hopefully I'll be able to roll back. I understand the idea of beta software and sometimes it having bugs but I figured they wouldn't outright disable a feature most people are stuck paying good money for...

Please remember that iOS 5 is in beta and is only intended for developers on test devices. If you put it on a device you use everyday for important use, it is your fault for any lose in productivity.

For test only means for testing only!!!!

Anyone else notice tapping on items is harder, especially when trying to tap something on the top of the screen.

In other instances, it's too sensitive. Trying to scroll in echofon more often that not brings up the pop menu.
