iOS 12.1 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Diamond Dog]

May be placebo, but animations seem just a tad quicker (using XS Max).

 

[Natya Sadella]

Seems to have borked your web-based text input rendering though. Make sure you report that.

Aaaaaand its lagging again. Never forget the minute it didnt lag

 

[usskywatch]

WOA.

THEY.

FIXED.

THE.

LAGS!!!!!


Edit: and they „fixed“ the bright wallpaper thing. But instead of showing the wallpaper with the correct colors, it now shows the bright wallpaper when you set it up as a new wallpaper.

On what device? Seeing lots of lags on iPhone XS on 12.0.1.

iPhone XS w/iOS 12.1 beta 4 and intermittent lag and stuttering here too.

Setup as new.

RIP

Still no ECG

ECG doesn’t require public or developer testing so I’m not sure it will end up in the beta builds.

Well I guess I’m staying away from this beta still! Maybe beta 5...

When you restart the device the cpu is working the first couple of minutes. That explains why it does not lag.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? CPU busy means more lag?

Hmmmm. Wonders If this is going to have any LTE fixes

Made a call and had a drop out first call since the update im really starting to think this is hardware related but apple cant admit it

Nah, the XS/A12 has a problem. It cant „wake“ the device/cpu up fast enough so it stutters

 

[Chazzle]

Noticing very inconsistent behavior with regards to the moon icon being displayed in the status bar when Do Not Disturb enabled. Sometimes it shows up right away, other times I have to lock the screen then wake for it to show up.

I’m hoping the guy at https://www.wiwavelength.com/?m=1 will do more testing with the latest betas to see what the actual LTE/WiFi improvements are, if any.

This is correct. Your phone isn't really a whole lot different from a computer. Put a load on the CPU, things will slow down.

I’m on EE and I’ve made/received over 100 calls since having my XS Max and not had a single drop. Most of those calls from home with 1 signal bar.

...that's not a fix, lol.

Doubt we’d see that in a beta, and isn’t it enabled via an app anyway?

You are correct, it will be a new standalone app that will be released in the Fall, per Apple. Odds are it will be when 12.1 and watchOS 5.1 go live, they will release the app then

Carrier version for Orange FRANCE -> 34.0
Seems smoother than beta 3

 

[WolfSnap]

Found an interesting bug.. On 12.1 Beta 4, when I try to install the developer profile onto my Watch, it installs on the iPhone -- not the watch.

It actually shows the Watch app dialog where you choose to install the profile, but, then it asks to reboot the PHONE! Checking General -> Profiles shows that it's on the phone, not the watch.

Anyone else seeing the same behavior?

I noticed a slight improvement in LTE. I’m in an area that would normally give me 3 solid bars. Now, I see it goes from 3-4 bars. It doesn’t stay on 4 bars too long though before it goes down to 3 and back up again.
