iOS 10 beta 1 Bug Fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[m4cf4g]

Alarm volume setting is ignored in both Alarm and Bedtime mode, always plays at full volume - nearly **** my pants. Tested on iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4.

Keyboard sensitivity problem - a tap will frequently count as a double tap (Shift/Caps, 123/ABC). Tested on iPad Air 2.

Firstly, you need to be within an app. If you swipe slowly and roughly 1cm down you'll start to see the Spotlight Search bar (and if you're using a 6s or 6s Plus, feel one tap from the Taptic Feedback) release your finger and you'll be presented with the Spotlight UI (with Siri suggestions etc).

If you simply swipe all the way down (yes, the Spotlight Search is still at the top) but you'll be presented with notifications only (i.e, the Notification Center).

I know, I've seen the "difference" but really what's the point? Spotlight is spotlight. And even if you tap the search bar in the full pulldown (notification centre) you still get the Siri suggested apps like you do with this odd gesture.

Either method takes the same amount of time. Seems strange to have this odd pull down and stop 1cm down, wait a sec and release gesture that very few people would even know about, when in reality is no different than just a quick flick down from the same location to give you the same search bar.

A whole new added gesture hardly anyone will discover for no new function whatsoever. That's what I don't get about it and fail to see why there is a difference.

Still not sure I see the benefit of this? If I miss the 1cm cut off of whatever it is, the notifications window will drop to the bottom by itself anyway. So it isn't saving you swiping distance. It only seems beneficial if you really want an app suggestion!? Maybe if when you got that Taptic feedback the spotlight search sat above your app so you could see both, that might be more beneficial?

As soon as you tap in the spotlight search, the same app suggestions appear anyway, it just seems pointless to me unless you know the app you really need is going to appear in the suggestions!

Got tons of restarts on my device.
iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 10 Beta 1

anyone else?

My problem is solved now; I have disabled the notifications in setting for all application I suspect whatsapp and other news feed app causing this frequent restart. no more restart

Hey, I'm not able to use maps with the iOS 10 beta, when trying the navigation to somewhere, the arrow just stays in place. does anyone experience the same problem ?

Thanks

Anytime I plug in my iPhone 6 for charging, I don't get the plugged in chime. Anyone else experiencing this?

Same here, no charging ding.

Go into Location settings, System Services, and turn them all on. Even in product improvement. Then it will work. There is some combination that needs to be on but i was too lazy to play around. Only ones i have off are location based iAds, home kit, compass calibration, time zone, and diagnostics and usage. But that fill fix your problem.

On my iPhone 6S Plus, when I ask Siri, "What's my name?" Siri automatically quits and does not respond with anything.
Not like I need to have Siri tell me this, but sometimes it's fun to have her call me by whatever fun nickname I chose.

It does the same thing on the 6 Plus. Odd bug.

Here's a bug I found. For some reason, when I opened the music app and started to play a song, all I head was a bunch of fuzz, like a radio. The song was still playing, but it's like there was a filter over the song or something. I tried closing and reopening, tried without headphones, tried with different headphones, still was fuzzy. Also tried going to multiple songs and playlists, but that didn't change it either. Finally solved it by restarting the phone.

I have also experienced such fuzz twice in total, and the solution is doing a hard reset, while taking a screenshot each time doing so.

Glad I have volume limits, otherwise this will hurt my ears eventually.

App icons missing in watch notifications

I get it on my 6S plus, make sure the phone is not on vibrate.

More importantly than game center features, I'd like to see them consolidate the App Icon so you only have to post 1 large version and it automatically resizes them to fit all devices at the first build where they are included. You need about 17 icon assets just for one app, a bit crazy if you ask me, really sucks if you don't have a designer to do all of this stuff for you once they are done with the core app assets.

Oh man, I had never really thought about them doing something like that. That really would be great. I'm guessing they don't haven't yet to avoid compression issues but you'd think that they could figure that out. I haven't worked on an icon in a few months now but I know the last time I did, I just tried to do as much of it as I could with vector shapes and started at the iTunes size. Then I would export, duplicate file, shrink, check for anything funky, export, repeat until I had all of the versions that I needed. Still a pain to do (especially when you're iterating and have to do the process more than once) but at least it's better than doing each size from scratch. And I did all the work in Pixelmator instead of having to pay for a photoshop license (or subscription now). It's great how graphics programs have changed over the years.

There's a few apps that let you drop a big asset and it will make a complete asset library for you.

I think that I remember trying something like this in the past and it wasn't the best experience UI-wise. Assuming you've used one, do you have a recommendation of one that you thought worked well?

A tip I learnt is that if you hold your iPhone next to the contactless reader without doing anything, the screen will automatically come up with Apple Pay and all you need to do is put your fingerprint to authorize it down!

That was there in iOS 9

I fail to see what the difference is. Normal pull down you can spotlight search. So what's the difference of stopping roughly 1cm and letting go to see the same spotlight search?



With the new ability to hide a lot of the stock Apple apps the option is no longer needed within the iCloud Drive settings to show/hide it's icon.

When you stop 1cm it automatically brings up the keyboard. If you keep going it takes you straight to your notifications. Pretty neat feature.

This one is a good one and recently updated

Anyone not have the feedback app? I used to have it in went to try and report a bug and can't find it. Usually the profile installs it.

 

[tivoboy]

Is the regular swipe down in the middle of the home screen or app screen for spotlite search gone? Now I only get a dark blue screen and black keyboard (that dies apparently nothing). and no way to get to regular search-which was really my fastest app launcher.

I know one can go to the top of the screen and pull down spotlight but that's a definite change to habit.

I have it but, oddly enough, when I sign in with my Apple ID (same one for my dev account) it says "You are not enrolled in any iOS beta programs." Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Anyone know how to fix it? (I'll probably just go ahead and email support but if anyone knows, please do share.)

I figured this out. Apparently if reduce motion is ON then the regular pull down to search doesn't work. It just shows the dark screen I described above. When I turn reduce motion OFF the the regular pull down to spotlight search works fine.

A couple of extra nontrivial issues I've experienced on an iPod touch 6:
Photos created invisible people when I deleted some pictures. I can not fix this without a content reset.
None of the diagnostic logs will display any text when selected.

The purple Feedback app is for the Public betas, which for iOS 10 will come out in July. The iOS 10 public beta program isn't open yet so you can't be enrolled. Bugs encountered in the developer previews should be, as stated in the first post, reported on bugreport.apple.com

Pull down to search works fine for me and I have reduce motion on.

Huh, that's odd then. I don't think that I've ever been enrolled in any of the public betas, only the developer versions. Anyone have any idea (1) why I would have this app and (2) how I could get rid of it in that case?

I wonder why Apple doesn't use the same bug reporter app for the developer betas. I just assumed that they did and that I had an issue.
