My iPhone 5s running iOS 9 beta just got the "Blue Screen of Death" and rebooted :( Thought they would've fixed it by now, probably a hardware issue
Got that same blue screen a couple of times on my 6 Plus. Not hardware, it's the beta.

Facebook app is such a piece of ****. It's jammed location services on which is funny especially since the Facebook app isn't even running!!

Turn it off in the settings, problem solved.

Turn it off in the settings background running apps
It is off in the Background App Refresh settings and anyways it's not a background issue -- the app isn't even open! I did just turn it off in Location Services which shut that down but that's a workaround I hope goes away with the next beta. Lord knows Facebook won't fix their app for compatibility anytime soon.

I mean in the settings you have a background app refressh settings turn Facebook there off.

Also on location service turn there facebook on " use on app " instead of always use location.

In all honesty tho, iOS 9 has been out for 2 weeks as BETA. You can't expect developers to release fixes for an OS that's not even public yet.

Don't know if this was on iOS 8 but I don't think so. Now when you tell Siri goodnight, it will say goodnight then close off Siri. neat feature.

Yeah, it's there in earlier iOS versions. Similar results with saying "Goodbye" or some other things along those lines.

In Calculator app, when the answer is the same as the previous number displayed (eg: 4-2=2) the answer will blink first.

Added to wiki.

They're not allowed to use the iOS 9 SDK to make updates anyway. They have to use workarounds with the iOS 8.3 SDK which may or may not work.
Yep...but

Yeah -- that's what makes this an interesting bug -- Facebook was ALREADY set to off in the Background App Refresh setting and my location services was ALREADY set to "while using app". Therefore, one would think that with Facebook not running, it should not have been using location services! Anyways, even when Facebook normally uses your location, you don't get a blue banner announcing it!

And, yes you are totally right, I shouldnt fault Facebook for not fixing their app in 2 weeks especially given they may not be able to using 8.3. I also know that it's no issue of mine since this is a dev release meant for me to test my own apps not Facebooks. All that aside, they have still sucked historically at resolving issues in the iOS 6, 7 & 8 beta cycles so it's hard not to jump to conclusions when I see crappy coding on my phone.

No way Apple is on beta 4 internally. They are 1 or 2 betas ahead. Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of squashing bugs through testing. There's no way Apple can do all the testing done with the beta program on their own. And the iOS software they demo in the keynote is specifically built for demo purposes, hence why they follow a script during the live demo.
I agree with your thought, and I think this could be the only thing make sense that live demo works so great while real product is so horrible. Everyone can prepare for a special event at all cost, although real world is not a written script.

Don't have the music tab yet but radio has just appeared :) looks like all this was built into beta 1, hope this means beta 2 won't take longer to come out :eek:

Edit:
I've tried the radio tab on the app but none of the stations load the now playing bar appears then disappears straight away and no sign of beats 1 :(
And radio tab accidentally appears on Japanese iTunes Store, which was not available for Japan.

I agree. Once I'm in the app for a few minutes its time to switch it back. If I use search to open an app, and I use this app for an hour I'm clearly not concerned about going back to search.
I didn't notice that much, although sometimes I felt annoying either.

My way to better resolve such issue is opening restrictions, and don't allow anything change it.
Now, none of those new apps I may install will be able to use things I have restricted. I set restrictions to almost everything except account and volume limits.
