iOS 10 beta 1 Bug Fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[kontrast]

Went back to iOS 9.3. Besides the obvious performance issues of a first beta, I found the new iOS to provide a worse experience in terms of intuition and aesthetic design that Apple is known for. The new iOS is ugly, convoluted, and awkward to use. Did not improve my experience in any way and in fact in many ways worsened it. Really puzzled by this release. Hoping things change significantly in the next few betas

Everything seems bolder, rounder and bigger, not a big fan

I have a feeling that a lot of the reason that everywhere around the OS is kinda like an indication that maybe the new iPhone will have a higher resolution? I mean I might be wrong but its a thought. Just like how now iOS 10 is allowing and can take RAW files for pictures, to me that means that the new camera on the iPhone 7 will be a great upgrade.

I have a good feeling that dark mode is coming in the near future

Nothing to see here. It's like that so if you forget to set your alarm for example and it's pitch black, you're not blinded by whiteness!!

So the link I have then doesn't actually have the watch profile even though it says it does. Awesome. Can someone message me a link or something?

You don't need to install it on both devices. The watchOS profile on the watch and the iOS profile on the iPhone. They are 2 separate files for each platform.

I think the Clock app is dark because most of the time you will be changing or adding an alarm in bed when the lights are out already.

Bug: If I toggle the mute slider on my 6+ there is no vibration feedback for the option selected

Mine doesn't buzz. It now has a subtle double -tap.

Hi guys. I need info about baseband on iPhone 6

Thx Peter

I was told it was 24.5.5.

Aside from the bugs listed in the original thread, is anyone else experiencing issues when sending the new messages to others on iOS 9? If I send texts but use the "slam, large, small" bubbles, those texts don't actually send. It shows as sent, but the recipient not running iOS 10 will not get them.

Yes, it is only for communication between two devices running iOS 10. It does not work if you send to someone running iOS 9 or earlier.

6S+ was on for 10 hours. Died with ~6% remaining....I usually drag it down to 1% then pump the flashlight on and run movies until it dies. Curious to know if anyone has done a full battery drain on their device yet? Did it die around the same percentage? Wondering if the behavior is different or if the battery meter is just out of whack.

**EDIT**
Well....after showing me the red connect icon on the lockscreen after it shut off...it was able to turn back on to the lockscreen with 6% showing. It died instantly when I tried the touch ID. It still booted up a third time and same thing happened.

I've got 24.5.22 on a Verizon iPhone 6.

Anyone know if I can revert back to iOS 9.3.1 and my WatchOS 3 watch will still be able to connect

 

[Mlrollin91]

Anyone know if I can revert back to iOS 9.3.1 and my WatchOS 3 watch will still be able to connect

I would highly doubt it. A 2.0+ watch will not pair with an iOS 8.4.1 device.

So far this is so much better than any previous iOS beta I've ever tried... I've tried iOS 4, iOS 7, iOS 8 and iOS 9. From iOS 7 it's where things started to go really bad...

At this point here is what I like/dislike :
- Hate : The new Music app... can Eddy Cue ever do something right ?
- Like : The new Maps app... ok, gotta admit, good job Eddy. But I'm unable to setup favorite directions to make them appear in widgets
- Hate : The new News app... can Eddy Cue ever do something right ? (the categories make me scroll so much than ever before to see everything I've subscribed to)
- Meh : Those new notification bubbles GUI
- Like : All those new developer APIs... yummy.
- Like : SiriKit... FINALLY.
- Hate : Still the same Springboard. No integrated widgets, no nothing.
- Hate : No Dark Mode.
- All the rest looks okay, but from a user point of view, this update is a little underwhelming.

Please refrain from posting "Downloading" and lets keep on topic discussing the changes in this beta. Also please refrain from posting just "lag" and "stutter" in this beta as it is in its very early stage. [/QUO

I can't seem to sign into Apple for some reason but is anyone else having problems with Siri? No matter
what voice I choose it sounds super artificial and fake like a voice control on an android

 

[iKor]

Just tried updating my health app "emergency contact info", and there's some sort of error with the "next" text/button, it displays OG_next. Anyone else?

Well, for me this is the first time the beta has been unusable. I can't even launch messages and I have frequent freezes unlocking with TouchID (iPhone 6S 128gb). I've been trying for 20 minutes to be able to do a settings reset. Hopefully that does the trick.


Edit: Resetting settings worked for me.

 

[HankHowdy]

Weather widget doesn't update even with BAR.

 

[thomasdangit]

I'm having problems sharing 2+ messages in the Messages app... when you click the arrow to forward multiple messages, it doesn't do anything.

 

[Feenician]

Can someone help me? Running ios10 and downloaded the watch os3 profile but it keeps saying my software is up to date on the watch...?

Short version: You have to wipe and pair AW again after the iOS upgrade

Long version:

Here's the steps. Join at whatever point is appropriate for you (i.e. if you've already upgraded to iOS 10 don't try to do so again)

1) Upgrade to iOS 10
2) Reset Apple Watch
3) Pair Apple Watch and do not restore backup (and I'll be honest about my shortcomings here and say I have not tried restoring, but I don't expect it be successful. If you restore and the instructions still work please let the community know )
4) Install WatchOS 3 Beta Profile to watch. Installing to iPhone does no harm but it does no good either
5) Check for Software Update and install WatchOS 3 Beta
6) Enjoy. But it ff it breaks you get to keep both halves

Hope this helps

I have this bug as well. Also I can't update any apps.

Anyone else not able to update apps?

Works fine...

 

[udflyer]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!

I am a developer so I do this every year.

Bugs do not bother me. This year it broke my phone.

After going to iOS10 and using for 1 day, my phone always thinks headphones are plugged

I downgraded back to ios 9.3.2 .. SAME THING!!!!


Speakerphone on calls work fine.


Seems like iOS10 messed up the sound driver or something...

Not pleased with Apple at all.

BTW I have an iPhone 6s Plus

Bug: when I try to reply to a notification using 3D Touch on the banner, the keyboard appears, but not the field for the message to be typed in. Therefore I can write the message, but can't see what I've written or send it

Same here.
