iOS 11 Beta 4: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

[thatJohann]

After a day and a half of heavy use with beta 4, gotta say I haven't noticed a single critical bug, perfectly adequate for daily use on your main device. 7 Plus here. It's coming together nicely.

Hi to all of you from Italy.
I was a silent follower and decided to give PB3 a try.
It works well but I have an issue.
I've always used a purchased ringtone. It is on the phone, I can set it as ringtone but it won't work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Forgot to say I use Iphone 7 plus

Sometimes AirPods have like a half second disconnect, it just happen once a day on the first connection.

Mine is worse. Yesterday they disconnected a couple of time during the day and I had to manually reconnect them.

Maps appears to crash very frequently (at least on a busy road), I experienced 4 almost back-to-back crashes while trying to navigate on a busy motorway today.

I use maps daily and have had no issues in B3 or B4, on a 7+

Hello. I have a FIAT and love it. I love my pizza. Always a soft spot for Italy and Italians.

During that heavy use, have you tried using your phone as a phone - for calling? You’d have noticed that bug in Recents wherein the first slot doesn’t get refreshed visually.

Are you talking about then screen going dark and suddenly is unresponsive and need to lock the phone then unlock it? If it’s that then on mine is still there but I didn’t do a fresh install.

no, there's an issue when you lock the device and it dims for 2-3 seconds before actually turning off

Yes. Just make sure you have iCloud back up and iTunes back up both on and backed up.

• Apple TV remote widget won’t connect to my Apple TV (maybe not a bug; it’s last-gen Apple TV)

Try unpairing your phone on the ATV and re-pair the remote widget with the ATV.

 

[Sal09]

Yes. Just make sure you have iCloud back up and iTunes back up both on and backed up.

Thanks ..

Can anyone confirm if the Apple TV Remote in Control Centre works with Apple TV 3 this time? Thanks in advance!

Oh ok, I don’t have problem like that mine is different when you don’t touch the screen while reading or something and screen go dim then on mine screen is unresponsive need to lock the phone with power button then unlock it as usual.

I just tried it with my Apple TV 3. The control center remote couldn’t find my ATV3. My phone is paired in the ATV3 settings.

Maps appears to crash very frequently (at least on a busy road), I experienced 4 almost back-to-back crashes while trying to navigate on a busy motorway today.

I had this happen to me yesterday while I was on the freeway. I have never seen this before in previous iOS versions. (Screenshot below) It also completely stopped navigation on me at least twice during my commute. I’ve also had a issue reoccur that midway through my commute if I stop at a signal light Siri will speak a direction back from the beginning of my commute. So I have experienced quite a bit of issues across these four betas with Maps specifically. I’m trying to use it! Ha ha!

When I receive a message or any other notification and the phone is with the screen facing up, it does not lit up the screen, just a white flash for half a second. Anyone with this problem?

Had that in beta 3, haven't noticed it in beta 4 yet.

Also, I am so annoyed they removed the ability to long press notifications on non-3D Touch devices.

The long press to open notifications was one of my favourite iOS 11 features, and I always was always kind of paranoid that Apple was going to realise how stupid it was to put one of the best 3D-Touch features onto non 3D Touch devices. It was honestly the first thing I checked every beta and now it’s gone

You should report it to Apple.

 

[SumYoungGai]

For now, yes. That was a bug that really annoyed me. The lock sound still cuts off at times.

Edit: my iPP 9.7 is doing it now lol. Can’t catch a break with that particular bug!

Just updated to DP4 on my daily, and the issue is still present. Oh well, not a major bug. Hopefully it'll get ironed out in future betas cause I CBA to erase and re-download everything much better than Beta 1/2.

Hmm. refreshing fine for me.

Same here, I don't get the phone recents issue.

 

[PeLaNo]

PB 3 and It’s still pretty buggy .

 

[krishnajha]

Maybe a repair would fix that?

On one hand, "OOOOOH NEW SOFTWARE" and on the other "You literally just spent 4 days restoring music to your phone after downgrading..."

Don't tease me, please. How's battery life been treating you?
