iOS 15.2 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Diesel79]

I'll have to give this another whirl tonight because just the other day I went to bed with 72% after a full day (stellar battery on this 13 Pro) and I woke up with 51%. I normally just charge overnight but I've been a little more mindful of the 40-80% method with this phone.

That’s a lot of battery to lose overnight isn’t it. I can’t remember the last time I woke up to the same 100% battery my phone had before I went to bed.

I did have my phone on charge for a couple of hours straight after the update. So, I don’t know if that helped. Waking up to 100% battery reminded me of the days when that was completely normal for iPhones and iPads. I hope it’s a sign of things to come. It would be great if apple spent this year fixing all the bugs in iOS and polishing things up. So, next year they start on a solid base. The last few iOS releases have been plagued with bugs.

Anyway, as I Said; I was pleasantly surprised with the battery % this morning on my 13pm. For me, the iOS betas seem to be more stable than the final versions.

Still can’t change the location name of people in my Find My app on my iPad. I tap one of the options, or chose my own but it doesn’t stick. Works on iPhone though on public 15.1. With one specific friend, I change the location on the ipad to “Home” and it shows up on the phone as School! Reported.

Messages are failing 100% - they look fine but then the red exclamation pops up after a couple of minutes.
Tried reboot. Tried Hard reboot.

Suggestions are welcome.

Might have to go the restore route ….

Ummm turn iMessage off in settings. Wait a minute, then turn back on.

Or could try signing out of iCloud and back in.

Flash on the B2 IPSW before the dreaded restore… would be my work down buddy.

If it’s not sending green messages, so not blue iMessages, a guess might be if your carrier firmware’s changed, could be effecting messages.

Tried the ON/OFF - no joy
Will try the iCloud piece next ...

Have the ipsw .....

Update: iCloud sign out/in - no effect
Talked to AT&T (my carrier) and they are not seeing any issue on their side. I am seeing no issue with my 13 ProMax and OnePlus 9 Pro - same carrier.

At the present looks like I will do a restore later today. Will try it using a bu and if that doesn't work I'll set up as new. Crossing fingers.

Update 2:
Did the ipsw restore then add bu last eve. Looks to have worked. No idea what the root cause was.
Crossing fingers and hopes this fixes it for good.

Just tested and iMessage (blue) and messages (green) both send fine. On EE carrier. Updated B2 via IPSW. Course he did ??

The music streaming battery drain issue (84861891) is a bummer of sorts. Time will tell how much of a drain that is.

Is this something introduced in the 15.2 beta or already present in 15.1?

Public beta out now

 

[Ansath]

Theory regarding Universal Control. It all appears to be in place. However, the controls are marked "(beta)". I'm wondering if it will become a beta feature when 15.2 is released. Looks like all they need to do is activate the panel in settings to go live. So it would be released as a public beta as part of a public release.

My head is spinning...

That thought occurred to me, and could be a thing. Just have to wait and see!

It’s awfully quite in here? How’s the second beta running for you?

Feels great on my 13 Pro. No complaints.

Yeah same on my 12. ??

Running into an issue with my AT&T line on my 13pm 15.2b2. I have it forced
to lte only (because 5G sucks in my area) but 5Ge no longer shows up. Not sure if they removed the label or not. Also sometimes even on lte only it’s connecting to 5G.

Anyone had this? 13PM

Does it happen every time, or random?
You’ve tried a hard restart right?

Tried removing it in control centre options, then add it again. Restart your phone.

Yeah feels great on my 12. Really polished for a B2, for me anyway, and my battery is back to nearly flat lining during the night. B1 something wasn’t quite right, I was seeing a slight bump in battery drain, but so far, so good on B2. ??

Come on UC, hoping for a quick 15.2, UC in 15.3 B1.??

So far, for me personally. It’s the best version of iOS 15 that I’ve used. It’s very smooth and battery life is great. It’s rock solid stable for me.

When I try to update/install new apps I get a try again later error.

Well, after being the whole process of betas, stable version included, of ios 15.1 and first beta of ios 15.2 with normal values of use of "system data", in this second beta it increases for days for no apparent reason. It already occupies more than 6Gb, when in the first beta it occupied less than 4Gb, which would be normal with my use. If it doesn't improve in the next few days, I'll go back to the first beta, because I have the feeling that it worked better for me than this second one. and yes, update using ipsw, so it is not due to a bad installation of ota, ios 15 in that aspect really sucks.

 

[drak22]

and I forgot another bug that has appeared to me, and it is with the automatic brightness. in beta 1 the screen was turned on with the brightness according to the light conditions, in beta 2 it always did so with low brightness and gradually increased to the value it should have.

Anyone else having a bug where safari completely freezes up after sending video via AirPlay to Apple TV? I’ve submitted feedback but this bug has been present since 15.0 beta 1. Safari needs forced closed as it becomes totally unresponsive.

anyone having issues with Siri replying to a group text to Android devices? I have one created with my brother and sister. Siri creates it correctly but responds “Sorry, it doesn’t appear you’re in the group any more.” I don’t want to delete it and start over.
