It’s back. Sigh.

I’ll be doing some task on my IPP and close it for the night (or day) and I’ll hear music. Wake it up and on the lockscreen is either a U2 or Eric Clapton song playing, neither of which I own. Playing on Music, which I have not used since the intial roll out several devices back.

Anyone seeing this too - set to mute calls get thru with sound not just vibration. Wierd

Did some testing over the weekend with ... Mail.
IPP 11 2020 and 12 ProMax both on 14.4.b1
Both have the same Mail setup: Exchange(MS), iCloud, Gmail x2
Tested badge count, Unread count, Updates when read to each device, Other issues
iCloud and Exchange are Push, Gmail is Fetch (15 min)
1. Badge count frequently does not match the unread count when Mail is opened, at times even after a manual refresh. Exchange has been spot on with iCloud being the worst for accuracy.
2. Unread count listed in Root and individual accounts frequently does not match actual unread emails when either Unread or Account/Unread is opened. At times, the sum of the Accounts <> Unread. In both iCloud and Gmail, even after a manual refresh, unread emails will show up en masse when you are scrolling through Unread's. That is a mess.
3. Reading email on one device will frequently not trigger an update on another device. A manual refresh almost always fixes this.
4. I have the same Gmail account on each set as the default Send account for New emails. Sending does not always use this account. Have had it default occasionally to either the other Gmail or iCloud.
All issues reported via Feedback.
Note: I have had no issue with either the Gmail app or my ProtonMail app. These have been spot on.

Did some testing over the weekend with ... Messages.
IPP 11 2020 and 12 ProMax both on 14.4.b1
Both have the same Messages setup. Using Phone number (12PM) and iCloud (12PM / IPP 11) and forwarding from 12PM to IPP 11
Tested Messages, SMS, MMS, and Forwarding 12PM > IPP 11.
Messages sent from 12PM and IPP11 and SE 2020
Messages sent from Non iOS used: Razer, Galaxy S8, Note 10.
Tested Notifications 12PM Badge and Lockscreen with Apple Nike Watch 4 GPS along with Badge and Lockscreen IPP 11.
1. All Messages sent from SE were received by 12PM and IPP11. Badges matched. Lockscreen Notifications matched. Notifications showed on AW4 but no sound played.
2. All SMS sent from Razer, S8 and N10 were received by 12PM. Badges matched. Lockscreen Notifications matched. All SMS forwarded from 12PM to IPP11 failed. Notifications on AW4 all failed to show.
3. All MMS sent from Razer, S8 and N10 were received by 12PM. Badges matched. Lockscreen Notifications did not match - less than 50% had a corresponding Notification. All MMS forwarded from 12PM to IPP11 failed. Notifications on AW4 all failed to show.
4. Messages sent via 12PM (phone number) to SE were properly received. Messages sent via iCloud (12PM and IPP11) to SE were properly received.
5. Messages sent SMS/MMS to SE were all properly received. Messages sent SMS/MMS to Android devices took up to 10 seconds to send for SMS and up to 30 seconds for MMS. Had 2 instances where the MMS failed. All SMS/MMS without a failure notifications were received by the Android devices.
6. Messages marked as READ on either the IPP11 or 12PM frequently failed to change status on the other device. Also ran into where the Message showed up on the IPP11 in an already read status without ever being opened.
All issues reported via Feedback.
Note: the Notification issues with Messages looks to be working better. With iMessage set, SMS/MMS to Android is still an issue. Same with forwarding SMS/MMS.
Update: I did a complete uninstall of Messages and related accounts on my IPP 11. Then went through the hassle of reinstalling it (OS). What a pain. Benefit turned out to be that I am now receiving forwarded SMS/MMS from non-iOS devices. The only bug so far is the lack of audio notifications on the IPP for incoming texts unless both the 12PM and IPP11 are unlocked.

Remove SMS, MMS and anything non Apple from your testing and you might have a valid point or bug or whatever you want to call it. Way to many control factors out of Apples realm of control to have useable data or test left. Not much at all for Apple to fix or even blink an eye at if it involves sms/MMS and android. Read a good study paper on how SMS etc is processed.
I test the way I use it.
Right now iMessage mostly works but communication to/from anything non-iOS demonstrates intermittent issues and forwarding has been problematic since iOS14 came out.
This is something Apple broke with iOS14 and can fix.
How was your simcard setup under the test, did you move to/from the SE and Android or one sim for everything?
Went from 11 ProMax to 12 ProMax. 12 ProMax set up as new.
Razer is a different SIM and my main device. SE is my daughter in law’s phone. Note is my son’s.
IPP 11 is wifi only.
Razer, 12 ProMax and IPP same wifi network.
That’s exactly what I mean! I type the word properly and it changes it to improper spelling for no reason at all? I type hit space bar and it changes the words to wrongs ones?
I did clean install also and idk in some apps it’s fine and in other have to back space retype like 2/3 times the words for it to stick properly
At this point happy New Years to everyone and let’s see when B2 hits the streets! I’m dying for Beta 2 on my iOS and I could use Mac OS 11.1 update also
This New Years weekend (Fri-now) I have been having a number of app crashes. Most have been mid use, not at launch. A reboot did not seem to fix the issue. A hard reboot ...tbd.
Looking at the analytical data I do not find a single corresponding entry. Matter of fact, the only 2021 entries are for Analytics ...
Digging deeper. Any thought appreciated.
btw - 12 ProMax only. IPP 11 is running fine.

I wonder if we ever get the option to directly resize widgets on the home screen, seeing as that has been listed in known issues (and seems to be gone now) since 14.0b1
Couple of strange new items ... or maybe not.
Been running into an issue lately where spell check is replacing whole words that fail at a grammatical level.
Replacing You with "your" and The with "three" as an example.
I have several Contacts setup with custom ringtones for Messages. I get the ringtone on my phone but not when forwarded to my iPad. Unless my iPad AND phone are both unlocked. Then I get the proper ringtone. But not on my watch (watch is a known issue).
So looking forward to the next beta.
Anyway, Happy New Year All!!

Has anyone noticed any jittery graphics when scrolling on iPhone XS Max.
I get it sometimes when scrolling through Home Screen, on some apps like Amazon Prime, Facebook even on safari. Only noticed it with this update.
Hopefully it’s sorted for next update.
I’ve done a report to Apple anyway.
