iOS 9.0 Beta 4 Bug Fixes and Changes

[CamiMR01]

Update went well. After, I could not see the current temperature on my watch so I unpaired and paired again.

This has happened to me as well, have restarted both watch and phone but still nothing, even opening the weather app on the watch gets stuck on the spinning circle...
Anyone else having this issue, and if so any other possible solutions other than unpairing/pairing? (Beta 4 and watch os 1.0.1)

I've only ever seen it on my phone with music and mail on the lock screen. So I'm not sure if it's just Apple stock apps right now? And 3rd party need to be updated for it?

I've seen it a few times with Runkeeper, but with odd timings... I tend to use it for bike commute (8 and 17), but it tends to appear on my lock screen around lunch time for some reason!!
I can see it this feature being quite handy, but at the moment and in my case it's still getting it wrong more frequently than not!

That's answers that then. I wasn't sure if it was any app or just stock Apple apps because I've only noticed Apple apps.

But then again I miss it probably more than half the time because Touch ID unlocks the screen too quick to catch it. (Making the whole feature pretty pointless for me.)

I wouldn't say pointless. Proactive suggestions is just that. A suggestion. If you are actively unlocking your phone you are about to do something. So the suggestion doesn't matter in that case. It's suppose to be non intrusive. Example, you wake up in the morning and press the home button to check time, notifications etc. And at the bottom you have an app the phone thinks you want to use at that moment in the morning. I don't think you are supposed look for suggestions.

This is the point. I check my phone just like you say, but I never get a suggestion in lock screen.

I understand and get what it's all about. I meant to say "for me" it's kinda pointless when Touch ID makes me miss if anything is there more than half the time. (I rarely just tap home or power just to see the time.) So usually if I'm grabbing my phone it's getting unlocked by pressing home and holding my thumb or whatever other finger to it.

I think the feature in itself is pretty cool, just not something I've found a use for yet.

The battery drain is kinda hit or miss for most people, just like many bugs (some get and some don't)

Just last Friday on Public Beta 1 I took the transit train in my city from one end to the other. The ride is anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour. I got on the train with 96% and when I got off the train it was still 96%. Screen off the whole time except I checked email twice quickly. Stock Apple EarPods (roughly 60% volume) and all music played was locally on my phone (not streamed)

I would still see the whole OS lag sometimes when using it, but definitely didn't drain battery for me when just left playing and untouched.

The drain for me on 8.4 is when streaming, offline play is normal. The slow down from the Music app is every now and again.

I got beta 4 last night and this morning I tried to send an iMessage and it says you must enable iMessage before sending but it's already enable so I toggled it off and back on but still can't send iMessage. I'm on Verizon.

Edit: Never mind I guess it took a few more minutes it's working now.

 

[robjmurphy]

Anyone confirm a bug I'm having with 9.0b4 on 6+ with non-Apple video players ie. AirPlayer, iDownloader Pro etc where the video won't display properly when in landscape mode? Seems ok in portrait but when adjusted the window drops down and only show like the top left quadrant. The fact that this occurs in more than one video player app makes me think something under the hood has broken.

 

[MrGuder]

I still can't get videos to go in landscape mode on the news app. I sent feedback on beta 1 about this and it's still not fixed on the beta 4. They only play in portrait which is silly.

Personal Hotspot no longer asking for wifi and Bluetooth, running on 3G. Is this new? First time I've seen it.

 

[JUiCEJamie]

Ah awesome! Has anybody else noted that the Podcasts app by Apple has now brought back the Snooze option.

PS - are these Bug Fixes and Changes also the "All the little things" thread too?

I should add that I see my stand credits in health and I see 17 blue bars in Activity but the circle for stand is empty. The unpair and pair again has been the general fix for temperature issues in the past. This is the first time I've had an issue with activity after the process.

I'm so satisfied that now, Safari is definitely snappier, with better javascript performance, drastically better memory management, also spreading to Apple Music and general OS performance improvements. I'm in love with iOS 9 and Apple again.

Yeah it's the all the little things thread too.

What happened to the main iOS 9 thread that shows what features and tweaks are new. All I see is changes but features aren't listed

After reading everyone's replies on beta 1, 2 and 3, now 4, no one else has mentioned the fact that 'repeated alerts' for messages haven't worked for the first 3 beta's, but now is working again in beta 4. It wasn't just me. My brother found the same thing. Not much of a used option but it only alerted me once, not the set 5 times. The option has been there since beta 1, just never worked till now!

Repeated message alerts worked fine for me on my iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5s for the last two beta releases.

The news app wasn't in beta 1 or 2 it was first available in beta 3... But yeah I can't get landscape videos to work in News either, I sent feed back as well.

 

[techspin]

Blood pressure app is able to take accurate readings again. Feedly still crashes. Maybe that's intentional to encourage us to use the news app.

 

[ryankidd17]

So, it's been mentioned, but I'm wondering if there is a workaround.

Going to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and select anything other than None will result in a crash.

As of right now, I have no text tone selected and would like to go back to at least the default. Any workaround found by anyone else?

Reset all settings should get the text tone to the default one.

Tried to avoid that. But it did the trick. Thanks.

iPad gestures are way more responsive than the previous betas.
