iOS 10.1 Bug Fixes And Changes

Neat, I didn't know that. I assume the stopwatch works the same way?

Yep. It gets even trickier when you start factoring in things like DST.

It gets even trickier when you have to work with Java's terrible Date and Calendar classes, but thankfully that's more of an Android thing.

transit directions in Okinawa as well

Something neat to note.

Haptic feedback for iPhone 6s and 3D Touch has changed slightly. Try this by previewing a link in Safari.

The haptic is less prominent and shorter.

Not for me

As you do this for a living, I will accept your explanation and I thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.

Do keep in mind, though, that while (according to what you're telling me) anecdotal evidence is considered in a court room, the world of science has a completely different approach to it.


Check the merged reply from my last post. Apple meant only to do this as a last resort when the OS is completely non-responsive. They will never recommend casually doing hard resets if a soft reset remains an option.


RAM is volatile, meaning it cannot maintain information when it is not receiving power. This is why computers can't truly power off when they're sleeping - disconnecting the battery would instantly purge the RAM and you'd lose the current session.

That being said, soft resets and hard resets accomplish the same end goal: powering off the device. When the device is off, the RAM is completely purged. Boot up from a hard reset happens in exactly the same manner as boot up from a soft reset (except, as I've previously mentioned, some OSes will run some diagnostics and integrity checks to make sure nothing crucial to the OS got corrupted). The fact that your App Store got fixed from a hard reset but not a soft reset is a total coincidence, and one of the wonders of software engineering that we gotta deal with every day.

Is hard reset harmful for the device?

For the hardware, no.

For the software, possibly; due to processes and file transfers not being gracefully terminated, you may end up with data/software corruption. But that's nothing an iOS restore can't fix.

Hard reset screen glitch is still there.

iOS 10.1 killed my iPhone 7

 

[Bamff]

I updated about an hour ago, and now my JetBlue app is not responding. I deleted it and redownloaded it to no avail.. Apple, please STOP trying to fix things only to have them not perform properly in your next iteration. SMH

This happens even on iOS 10.0.3. When you install any new app, by default Background app refresh used to be turned on for that app only, but in since iOS 10, installing new app or even update (especially Google apps) turns on BAR for all apps and requires to manually turn it off one by one.

I was hoping it would fix my issues but we'll see.

The phone app often crashes when I open it, especially on the favourites tab. I end up with a frozen screen and I have to force close the app.

When opening the camera it often lags and I have a blurred window for a good 15 seconds. With a new baby I've missed a few photo opportunities.

Siri has got to be the worst for me. I've used it for years now and this release has just messed it right up. Every launch has Siri telling me 'it get that' when I'm about 3 words into a sentence. It also takes 4-5 attempts to set a timer where it pauses and goes into a confused state.

I love the new features of iOS 10, but it was far too buggy to be released yet compared to previous releases. After a month now I would have expected these to have been addressed a lot sooner. There we are though.

How it compares (talking about speed and fluidity) on iPhone 6 with iOS 9.3.5 and with iOS 10.0 ?

 

[Lodesman]

The barometer works again on my iPad Pro with 10.1.

Thanks for that.

 

[Lodesman]

iOS 10.1 has it now working on my iPad Air 2

Thanks for that.

Apparently. They also made the navigation between iMessage apps worse by replacing the navigation ‘dots’ (indicating that you can scroll horizontally) with an obscure horizontal scrollbar (hidden by default, thus no indication that you can scroll). One facepalm after another.

Er, it's better? If you had lots of apps, the navigation dots would overlap so they replaced it with a scroll bar.

Every scroll bar is hidden by default in iOS so why would this one be different.

*facepalm*

The only bug bugging me is the 123/abc keynoard bug . For me ios 10 is the smoothest release in recent years but maybe its just for me and my iPhone 6s

Right, a scroll bar was the only available option.

Also, the horizontal scroll bar just doesn't work there. Other apps that have this, such as Maps, Photos and Safari are arguably more obvious in that context. The iMessage-apps menu is not, completely obscure.

Nice try though.

10.1 doesn't like my work wifi for some reason. Safari loads pages incredibly slowly (if at all), most apps refuse to load anything. Will be restoring it tonight as this was an upgrade from iOS9 to iOS10, then to iOS10.1, but it's a bit worrying!

Edit - apparently we have issues at work, not iOS10.1 related!

Sorry for possibly derailing the thread a little bit, but since I've heard so many different answers for this and since it's already been discussed in this thread I thought I'd check once and for all:

What are the differences between a hard, and a soft reset? Hard reset is power and home / volume down buttons, and soft reset is using the slider? Or the other way around? The technical aspects at play have been explained, and I thank you for that, it's just the terminology that confuses me greatly.

EDIT: TL;DR: Hard is home+power, soft is slider?

I installed iOS 10.1 this morning on my iPhone 7.
I'm happy to report the Bluetooth music streaming with my 2013 BMW is now working like it expected!

Funnily, the thread on Apple Discussions forum about this issue (about 7-8 pages) has been deleted...

I'm using a brand new iPhone 6S though. If others aren't experiencing these bugs, is it a fresh install required? I've nearly thrown my phones cross the room this week with how glitchy it's become. I wish I'd held off installing it to be truthful.

Just to confirm - I am experiencing this in a lot of web forms (ie, a forum). Numbers followed by spaces doesn't switch back to the lettered keyboard.

I can't wait for 10.2 beta 1 to drop

 

[willrun4fun]

My iPhone 6s is having serious bluetooth issues. My Plantronics backbeat Fit and Apple Watch keep dropping connection. The bluetooth icon in the status bar of the phone will blink rapidly for about 10 seconds, then the can reconnect.
