iOS 9.0 Beta 1 Bug Fixes and Changes

Could Gmail create alias now??

LOL, yes...? For a really long time actually. I do mean 'Send mail as', just in case you know it by another name: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en

I AM OUT!
I didn't know this until today.
Uh, however, it is a little bit different from what I know from outlook. Although, outlook may use same technology to create multiple alias for users.
Google one, in the contrast, requires you to sign up another account, and send email from that account.
Little bit complex.

Double tap and drag to select is working again.

What about the 6+ touch response in landscape mode? Is that being fixes in the beta 1?

The 6+ have some issues with the touch. If you holding the phone in landscape mode, and you using Safari it doesn't register the touch input all the time, you press on a link, but it doesn't work.

Created an alarm using Siri and "She" spoke/displayed the confirmation twice despite only setting the alarm once.. Anyone else getting the same result?

Can someone try this and if they get same bug, let me know and I'll report it to Apple, thanks.

This is the problem with so many people being able to install iOS betas who have no business of installing a beta. Your expectations for a beta are becoming expectations of a GM release. At this point, the battery life does NOT matter. As we get closer to the GM, yes.

I have no issue with poor battery life as it a beta, the issue i have is losing 99% of my battery while asleep. Its pretty simple and reasonable to be annoyed at that, but I'm willing to sit it out and wait for the next update in a week or so.

Contact pictures now shows in Messages on iPhone 6

What about Contacts App? Can anyone confirm if pictures are included also in this App on iPhone 6?

 

[jamesjingyi]

Any changes in animation compared to iOS 8 anywhere?

Some things opened from other apps and notifications slide in from the right. When using the 'Back to XX' it also slides away. Apart from that I haven't seen anything else.

Thanks! Did you notice if the animation speeds are the same?

I have already found this issue in iOS 8.4 all betas (except beta 4, which was a little bit slower than iOS 9 beta 1).
And one of my games SERIOUSLY relies on touch registration speed, and if the registration fail, I will lose score immediately. This is annoying, however, it does not fix in this beta, yet.

Simple fix: leave it plugged in overnight!

Not in the list view, only in contact view as before.

I'm not getting this bug. Only one alarm set by Siri.

 

[Shirasaki]

Now the beta battery life slightly improved thanks to a long time use.
Now I can use approximate 5 hours, surfing the web.
If i play games, I can still only use 4 hours in total.

Apple has said on NUMEROUS occasions "better battery life" going back years, and only the 6 plus has delivered that due to a bigger battery. Not once has tweaked software given better battery life. Ios 8 beta 1 didn't run down 99% battery while note being used. Nor 7, nor 6, nor 5 etc...

Beta 1 has always been extremely buggy. In my experience, new major releases only become usable for day-to-day use after beta 3 or 4.

What do you mean by contact view?. I have only a list with no pictures when I enter contacts app. I only get pictures in favorites section but in Phone App (maybe you refer to that)

I Heard different story's, this issue is being fixed in ios beta 9,

You telling me at beta 8.4, surprisingly it's still in beta 8.4 but not anymore in iOS 9

I don't know.
Maybe I am no longer be attached with God of luck.

Thanks! What iPhone/iPad model are you using?

 

[Nikhil72]

Does proactive support departure alerts based off public transportation rather than driving?

 

[Hot12345]

I don't know.

Listen, you telling me that the bug isn't fixed in ios 8.4. But im not talking about iOS 8.4 but we are talking about iOS 9 beta 1.

You telling me that the bug is not fixed in 8.4 thanks for that. We wait for iOS 9.

 

[Shirasaki]

Oh. I got it.
Yes. This bug occurs on all iOS 8.4 beta. However I can say this bug still exist because I have an overall worse result of that game while my skills doesnt change a little bit. To be more specific, when I try to tap the screen to respond to incoming rings, I sometimes need to tap twice, which is surely impossible in the game.
And when I want to launch an app from home screen, whether in portrait mode or landscape mode, sometimes I need to tap app icon twice to finish it.
I have heard that iPhone 6 Plus resolution result is a constant downscaling process. I don't know if it is really true, but when I see screenshot properties, I don't see 1920 by 1080. Instead, I see 2208 by 1408 or some other value, which is larger than 1920 by 1080. Could I guess this is the reason why iPhone 6 Plus screen sometimes becomes unresponsive in safari.
PS: all what I say occurs on iOS 9 beta 1.

 

[VSMacOne]

Thanks! What iPhone/iPad model are you using?

iPhone 6Plus. Did you try turning Siri off and back on?

In power save mode I still get emails coming through.

Email is supposed to be on manual in power save mode.

Current power reserve mode is just a switch. You can use this switch to play around for a few minutes (joking).

Maybe in the next beta, it will take effect, and do what everyone expect it should do.
