iOS 12.1.1 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[bizack]

iOS 12 is turning into iOS 11. It started out great but now:

Screen Time - Old devices show up in device list and uninstalled apps show up as possible 'always allowed' apps

Animations - App close and folder close animations are back to stuttering

Dock apps - Still unresponsive for about 1-2 seconds after fast navigating back to home screen

Shortcuts - Crash on launch (check app store review, it's not just me)

General About - Missing string for label USER_LABEL_PRIMARY on T-Mobile

Resolved.

Wow I can’t believe it’s fixed! This bug has been around for years.

I’m the one who added that to the list, and I’ve only had the issue since midway through iOS 11.

Nonetheless, I’m glad it’s fixed!

New behavior in 12.1.1 beta 2? Or has it been this way since 12.0 or 12.1?
USA, Verizon Wireless on nano-SIM.
Turned phone off. Swapped for a lebara.de SIM.
Turned on. SIM recognized, no service (prepaid service ran out).
Cellular settings show the current SIM and the "disabled" VZW phone line information.
Turn phone to airplane mode.
Eject lebara SIM, insert VZW SIM.

Here's the different behavior: on older iPhone models, when I reinsert the VZW SIM, the VZW line is not usable over WiFi Calling until I enable the cellular radios (turn off airplane mode). But on my iPhone Xs, it remembers the previous physical SIM enough that the phone can reconnect to WiFi calling while in airplane mode.

That gives me a way to get travel phone service locally, and check home phone service on wifi only (no danger of roaming).

Anybody know if this is new behavior in 12.1 with multi-SIM support?

Test your actual local wifi speed between the router properly, not your internet line, cause thats what speedtest.net is doing...

Weird that this beta doesn’t have the new swipe to unlock animations introduced in 12.1 public release.

I’ve got them.

Can anyone tell me about battery life on XS? Better than 12.1?

Is search in settings broken for anyone? On my XS Max it doesn’t matter what I type in, it always shows the same results. On my iPad Pro 9.7, it works as expected. See screenshots.

So how I test the wifi speed with my router?

 

[mujtaba.mir]

A restart got them for me as well.

On an iPhone X, XS, and XS Max, if your home screen have multiple pages, go to a different page other than main, then swipe up to get to your main page. After you quickly want to open anything in the Dock, you can't, you need to wait a few seconds to be able to do it. Video: Here

Yes, this happens in previous betas.

Tried that did not help. Couple reboots seems to have made it work again.

How to activate this? I only get Call voicemail.

Iperf? Or search the app wifi sweetspots, its free.

It was out at least by 2330 UTC yesterday, that’s when I rebooted/installed it.

Makes me wonder why they are pushing betas out so late and not just waiting for the next day...maybe they are trying to hit some kind of deadline.

Or perhaps they hate seeing all the “Is it out yet? Is it out yet?” posts here!

Try changing the language to something different and change it back to English in settings.

My search didn’t bring anything up until I tried the above.
