iOS 10.2 Beta 4 - Changes, Bugs, and Fixes

[Dave_iPhone6s]

Works for me.

Does the search result even include old messages? That is, messages sent/received before you installed b4?

Anyone else unable to click the "Get Started" button in the TV app? Closed app, restarted phone, still not responsive.

The 'Add to Up Next' option has disappeared from the music app. 'Play Next' is still there though.

Do you mean "Play Later" is gone. "Add to Up Next" is now "Play Later" I can't remember when that changed.

That option is gone as well.

Yes. I installed this beta on Monday and I am able to search and find conversations several weeks old (with no messages after the beta install date).

 

[skwood]

That option is gone as well.

Check your shuffle and repeat options and try fiddling around until it re-appears. It's something to do with that I think.

I have noticed that it's no longer possible to use the search function within the Messages app for messages sent/received before this beta. Go to the Messages app and drag down to that you see the search bar. Try typing a contacts name in the search bar. Does it work for you? If this was working properly, you should be able to find all contacts relating to your search and not just the messages that you sent since you installed this beta. When I search for a message from a contact I only find messages from contacts that I have sent/received a message from since I installed this beta. Weird...

Working here. And it has the old message thread as well. I looked at items all way back through Aug 2016.

[Edit] Just had a thought, do you have a expire set for keep messages in settings? I have keep messages: set for forever. Maybe that has something to do with it.

What do you mean "with no messages after the beta install date"? That you have not had any message activity since installing the beta Monday?

Still unable to set album art with iTunes. This Music app is a mess. Sad!

Update after update..... and the same annoying issues STILL NOT fixed.

Thanks for asking but I have it set the same way you do, permanantly

What issue you faced with, Math889?

Orientation Lock issue on my Air 2, just it!!

You are selling a device for a slight inconvenience that requires a reboot? I hardly think that is a reason to sell the device. Yes its annoying but you might be overreacting.

So, did you reboot your Ipad?? and if you rebooted, did it fix the issue??

 

[kingston73]

It's interesting, my Air2 was having the rotation issue for a while but after beta 3 and now with this beta it's been fine, but obviously others are still having the issue. I wonder why mine is different?

Interesting. I just checked and yes, Play Later is there.

I see ratings have gone again. I used to use those as there are two iPhones syncing to the same iTunes library in our house and I used them as markers for smart playlists.

 

[gardiboy]

ever since hopping onto ios 10.2, my wallpaper looks weirdly brighter. why?

It's been mentioned that 10.2 finally removes the ugly shadow filter on the homescreen wallpapers, like it was before 10.0

 

[vertsix]

No battery issues or anything too significant here, except when I connect my Bluetooth headphones the widgets view on the home screen changes itself to the notifications view. Weird.

Battery life is fine. Don't believe those who have battery issues and are blaming this release. If a hardware issue is not to blame, it can be easily fixed with a restore as new.

6s plus users.. Battery life is better than 9.3.5 !!

Yes, a reboot fixes the orientation issue for at least 12 hours.

Thats not saying much... 9.3.4/9.3.5 had horrendous battery life for my 6s. Even iOS 10.0 betas had better battery life.

My mail and Safari apps still stutter when opening or closing on my iPhone 7 Plus. It didn't do this before 10.2 (especially since I just got my replacement iPhone and it had 10.0.3 on it).

2 in one week. Must be some kind of record?

Perhaps a fix for the activation-hack?

 

[Math889]

I saw the update now on my iPad . Two updates in one week ????

 

[Simacca]

Perhaps a fix for the activation-hack?

Or to try and fix the battery problem for the people who's serial didn't qualify?
