Completely forgot about this. All I know is hotspot is working perfectly fine for me (if you're talking about spotlight search I never use it, if it's looking for a device I only use connect via usb. The very rare times with another iPhone worked fine. Though dunno if it works connecting a iPhone to android, didn't work for me on 8.3)
As for the auto lock at 30 seconds, unlocking via Touch ID or with my pin it will still lock within 30 seconds on the home screen. Every device is different, everyone has a different perspective. This is mine. Or maybe I'm just a complete idiot and shouldn't go on forums at 2:15 am
Sorry for the long wall of text. Also anyone with a 5s is your device heating up? Mine seems to get a lot warmer on iOS 9 then it did on 8. I'm thinking it might be because of metal now that it utilizes the gpu for animations/opening apps etc now? (May be wrong on that part but that's how I remember it)
Also is auto correct seem..broken to anyone else? Sometimes I'll type a word that's 100% correct and auto correct will change it to something else.

yes wifi hotspot is really bad (see the tutorial here). all reproducible. it are issues. in this case with hotspot and touch id. bad design = normal user open new issues thread.
Again this wifi hotspot issue, is big issue. many user wait on better design and concept. more as 4 years is not fixed. hotspot exists (iOS 4.3).
this is a fact. Therefore is Android so good. Open source is many better.
Apple no fixed this issue. Many reports,suggestions for better design is available. you can see nothing happens.
why iOS personal hotspot concept is bad? On Android,OSX ad-hoc and jailbreak tweaks MyWi no problem.
example:
- leave settings is wifi hotspot not available (for the search), no status bar icon,note for the user. therefore so many issue thread e.g broken,not working
- it no support iTunes wifi-sync because personal hotspot not use the same network as the device itself
- sometimes internet is slow, for new device connect to hotspot. but the device itself no issue (this bug is rare)
- create wifi hotspot without cellular access not possible
- no manually channel change
- create wifi hotspot without/other protection (not all devices support wpa2)
- automatically off (see the bugs here)
- not wifi full bar for other devices (mostly with android devices issue)
more see in other forum or the wiki here

Does anyone know whether Siri is on vacation in this build?
I tried to get her to recognize a song on the radio this morning and she always responded that she doesn't know.

Also can we clean up Post 1?
If you have an bug issue, can we just post to this thread to make sure others are experiencing the issue then professionally added it the the wiki post with some readability and no personal stories.
Might be unrelated but my iPhone6 was running fine on ios9.2 up until now. All of a sudden, I am experiencing lag and stutter in many places for the past few days. Stutter while unlocking, opening apps, safari loading etc. There is nothing much that has changed in terms of adding news apps etc. I tried restarting the phone, but that does not help. Also, I am noticing battery degrading a bit all of a sudden.
Anybody with the same symptoms? (note- I am not on any beta)

I'm also having the same issues. It happened out of no where. iPhone 6S AT&T 64Gb
My earlier impression was its because of high brightness, but I am not noticing it with the brightness level at the lowest as well. Very weird.
There are tons of bugs for a final release. Better wait two or more weeks to get polished software.i think we can get a new year present from apple.. like a 2nd beta or a final release
no this is normal. all issues and bugs from old threads (e.g iOS 4,5,6,7,8,9) and from user here. I add for the user the issues and bugs in the wiki. since this wiki, I add with details for reproduce.
when comes ios 9.2.1 beta 2. then transfer from this wiki in the new wiki.
what du you mean chaos? to many reports from user??
Usually these threads show issues and fixes with the latest beta. So you know what you get when installing. And a quick one line text about the bug or fix. Steps to reproduce imo isn't necessary in the wiki. That should be established before it being added to the wiki. There's too much info. But this is just me.
This is NOT "normal" read the title. Its "9.2.1 bugs and fixes" not "ALL iOS bugs from the beginning of time". If you want that perhaps you need to create a new thread with that title. You can then add everything from 2007 when iOS 1 was released. All this stuff you put there just makes a mess of things for this particular topic. No one can determine anything particular to 9.2.1 now as the title suggests. Also your opinions of how things should be are not really "bugs". As for the bold statement above, please dont do that in the next thread if it comes out. It really isnt helpful.
YES! I agree and this is how its supposed to be and has been. This thread is relatively useless now.

see the old thread iOS 9. e.g a user said: Cannot add pages file. I test no issue.
not forget. I add for the user here.
Then I said: need more details.
And now is reproducible. Can you see that problem? the user report here are not good. no details.
therefore I am here. and ask: please more details for reproduce.
What is with apple bug report site? no this is not good. I have all report to the apple site, but no fixed.
A user said me. Apple developer are in this forum (invisible). therefore public now.
With happiness all bugs/issues in iOS 9.3 fixed.
Note: 6 bugs/issues in this wiki, is from other forum.

9.2 has got also many bugs..but the final release were the same with beta 4..
Apple change their strategy as.. is it working..yes..just working..
that's all
Well its better but I think you are missing the point a little. If a single user has an issue that does not necessarily mean its a bug in iOS. If for example you and others cannot reproduce it then its not iOS but rather some other issue. If I have a problem getting email for example, that doesnt mean that iOS is broken when everyone else doesn't seem to be having issues getting mail. Things like "Have wifi as 2.4ghz / 5ghz as separate id's. Having difficulty staying on 5ghz. Keeps dropping it and switching to the 2.4." is not an iOS bug but rather a wifi issue. I have same SSID for both bands and never an issue with it dropping until the signal gets low on 5g then it switches to 2.4 (as its supposed to do) then will switch back to 5g when better. This continues to work just fine even in iOS 9.2.1. Again not an iOS issue. A LOT of the statements there have nothing to do with iOS 9.2.1 specifically like adding an Apple ID with no credit card, did that become an issue starting with iOS 9.2.1? I guess the point is anything that maybe doesnt work like you think it should doesn't mean its a bug and if its been around since the beginning of time then iOS 9.2.1 did not cause it. This thread should be about things iOS 9.2.1 fixed or broke not theories how folks think it should work or how it would be better than the way Apple chose to do it. Anyway hope that explains our stance on this subject. Your efforts are appreciated but may be better suited in its own thread regarding "things Apple should fix or do differently" or "outstanding bugs since iOS 2".
