iOS 14 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[xerxers]

Yes there is an issue with Viber.
On my iPad if I open then go to More then to settings it freezes and i can't get out of it unless reboot.

 

[astewes]

oh boy.. glad I held off on installing on my iPhone. Currently installing on my iPad Pro.

I am suddenly getting the "No SIM installed"/blanked-out cell icon on my 11 Pro Max, which is odd because I've been running iOS14 public beta for 4 days without any issues. It just seemed to happen out of nowhere. I've restarted once, but the issue persisted. Any advice on how to fix, or maybe you've come across other threads about this?

My 11 Pro has been running hot the past couple days on DP2. Battery drain like crazy. Might try a restore from backup and see if that helps at all.

Same thing for me. My iPhone has been running hot just on Safari and Apollo. It's been a couple of days since I installed it, so I think it's just the beta. My phone runs out of batter quicker as well, but that is to be expected I guess.

I just realise volume limit feature is removed from this beta.
WTF? Why? Apple wants to hurt everyone’s hearing in the process?

Never noticed that. That’s a shame, very easy for the volume to creep up as you get used to it.

I've noticed that past betas for iOS going as far back as iOS7 have had similar impacts. I think that it might be related to the telemetry and bug reporting code that is in the beta but not in the final release of the OS.

You people who are concerned about this should report it. Just bitching on here isn’t going to get it back

I’m not sure if it’s a big of not. I have 2 finger tap on for VO on Back tap. Anytime I put my phone down now it turns on.

Another bug is with the Messanger app for FB. It keeps kicking me out of a chat and then just goes to a blank screen.

Back tap is real sensitive at the moment, ended up turning the feature off until apple fix it.

Nope, but then they would only see it if they went over to App Library, so you could just hide it from your Home Screen. Where do you have it now? As it basically is the same, except on App Library, it only stands out if it’s the most commonly used app in that category in the App Library, otherwise it’s a small icon, or not even shown.

well, seeing as I don’t use An eSIM, it’s not that for me. I think it’s more down to memory, as out of all the times it has happened, has been when I join a meeting with video in MS Teams, it’s happened many other times with random things, but for now, that’s my best guess. Could it be that using eSIM/Dual SIMs uses a chunk of memory, which is why you see less by disabling it?

Only happens to me when idle since I see the passcode required when iPhone restarts when I pick it up. Hasn't happened when I was using it yet.

I noticed the other day using CarPlay on my way home, knowing I still had at least 20 min to go, but it was showing 0 min remaining on my trip. I noticed it was correct initially, but at some point around the 40 miles to go mark it changed to 20 min and then down to 10, then 8, then 2... then stayed on zero the rest of the way. Very weird I was driving with my daughter at the time and didn’t think to trigger the sysdiagnose log..

Ours did the opposite yesterday. It showed half an hour to somewhere, and after like fifteen minutes, I looked and it still showed half an hour.

More resprings, but otherwise no.

Yea only have the passcode required when restarts message sometimes when I pick the phone back up. And some widget weirdness still. But no crashes or resprings or restarts when using the phone.

Right AirPod Pro and AirPod do that, (B1 also).

Looks like BT randomly toggles itself on and off. I’ve caught it a few times...very annoying.

Yeah I just had to turn mine off too until it’s more stable

Can you hide purchased (but not downloaded) Music yet like you used to be able in iOS 8 and earlier?

Have you tried a hard reboot or removing the sim and reinstalling? I had this happen to me once out of the blue and it turned out to be a bad sim, another possibility although less likely probably.
Also try resetting settings if you haven’t tried that already.

Here's something. I had my phone jailbroken on 13.5 and a couple apps didn't like that so it threw the jailbreak detection. I updated to ios 14 using an IPSW and it was still saying it was jailbroken. Last night I restored as new and all my apps are behaving normally now. No more issues.

Even with Pokemon Go?

 

[Grant Garcia]

My viber not wooking and freezing or hang-up.

 

[Camperniki]

Filed feedback to reverse this, but I noticed that unknown callers no longer have their location tagged—on the incoming call screen and in Recents. This extra context is a big deal (to me) for out of state calls, medical calls, what have you. Otherwise, you may not recognize an area code and choose to screen the call.

I've had this issue on and off. Sometimes closing the phone app and reopening helps. I also have TrueCaller on my phone so I can look up missed calls and see if they're legit or spam (usually spam)

I don’t know if this is new to n Beta 2, but in the heart rate page of Health there is now a section called “Heart rate: Sleep”. Tapping on it shows you a graph of your heart rate during your sleep, including you min and max. This makes the Sleep tracking of WatchOS 7 a whole lot more useful!

Now all i need is a Resting Heart Rate Variability and i can actually get rid of Autosleep.

Not a feature on my XS. What phone and/or watch is collecting that data?

My only real issues for this beta are the remote app in CC doesn't work 100% (swiping works but tapping either does nothing or swipes), back tap too sensitive, safari tabs not syncing across all devices, and watch randomly shuts off (at least my phone is decent enough to restart when it occasionally decides to do that). No bluetooth issues and I found my first red light camera icon the other day. Phone has stopped running as hot as it did on B1 so I'm hoping on B3 it'll stop even more. Not too bad for a B2, IMO

I did a hard restart and that seemed to fix it for now. Previously, I had just restarted normally a couple times.

I keep forgetting about this issue with Betas:

 

[jpsmith76]

I too have noticed this on several occasions. The time starts out correct, but then drops to zero minutes when I am still at least three minutes from home.

I thought I was the only one, so I hadn't said anything.

I hope Apple changes their primary weather data source to Dark Sky until the Weather Channel stops copying clipboard data. I imagine it’s easy to implement given they own them.

 

[swandy]

I get that it’s still a beta but I assumed they would wait on the public beta until it was more stable knowing that a lot more people are going to be installing the public beta.

I avoided the Developer betas and did the Public beta (iPhone 11) and so far no real issues effecting the working of the iPhone. Widgets - primary their slowness in updating or occasionally just showing a black box - only real "issue" so far.

I hope Apple changes their primary weather data source to Dark Sky until the Weather Channel stops copying clipboard data. I imagine it’s easy to implement given they own them.

I’m assuming the long term plan is to have Dark Sky be the full source of weather in the stock app, but maybe they didn’t have the time to have it done for iOS 14, so are doing it in stages.

Update: I was able to fix this issue by opening/closing the SIM tray. I find it hard to believe that this randomly happened and had nothing to do with the iOS14 public beta, but you never know? In any case, it was easily addressed.
