View Full Version : What all apps are borked by OS 2.1?

Sep 12, 2008, 04:08 PM
I figured we should just have a single list of these rather than a bunch of separate threads. So far, I've read of two:
Toy Bot Diaries, sound effects are very loud/distorted
Zen Pinball, all the graphics except the HUD are just a big white mess
Any more?

Note: One commenter on toucharcade forums RPGGuy (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1635&postcount=8) claims the 2.1 firmware no longer plays 8 bit sounds correctly which may explain the many sound glitches in some apps.

I can confirm that Whitepages works with 2.1
I had the app installed prior to updating to 2.1 and after looking at this thread just launched the app and it works. i searched for myself and found myself. Perhaps it doesn't let you install it but once installed it will work?
Also, as for Last.fm, with 2.0.2, that app was buggy like a mofo, would crash to homescreen all the time so i had removed it. If it still doesn't work in 2.1, for me, its a wash situation.

Seems likely. I did not have it (and many others) installed at the time of the 2.1 upgrade in attempt to avoid the dreaded 'no content' problem. After the upgrade I tried putting a lot of the uninstalled apps back and got that error message for Whitepages.

The keyboard doesn't show spontaneously any longer when the login screen appears in SplashID. Tapping in the password field brings it up, though, so there is a simple work-around until it gets revised.

What's On works fine on my brand new 3G that I just purchased today and restored with my old Classic data. All of my channels are showing and it maintains the time/shows with current time. Seems fine to me.
To the OP...I would be careful about your list and get more then one report of an App that does not work with the update. There are a lot of bad installs out there and these need to be confirmed before they are plastered all over a forum as not working. This is only considerate of the Dev's that work so hard to design and make a buck off of them. Let's do this right and not jump to conclusions.

It came with the 2.0.2 version. Purchased at Best Buy and they had a ton of stock from the grand opening so think it is from that event.
And just so you know, I was not jumping on you for your thread...it is a great idea to consolidate and give both user and Dev one place to go for reports then tons of fruitless posts that will be buried by tomorrow. So keep it up but with a little refinement.

I tried to make a screen shot to post to illustrate the problem, but activating the camera makes the keyboard appear, so the screen capture looks normal.

After Reading this, I launched the app again, no problem. Then thought ok, let's try ten times ... bug surfaced on third attempt. So yes, apologies, there is a bug there and I've experienced it. Soz, for misrepresentation.

apps are being put onto the "list" of problem apps with little or no confirmation from others. definitely misleading if the app got placed on the problem list because only one individual had an issue.
1) with that said, i would like to confirm that ewallet works perfectly for me on 2.1 The keyboard is automatically displayed for me in the password screen.
2) myweather launches perfectly for me and works perfectly. this could be a case of install problems with 2.1, however if installed it works fine as i reported earlier about whitepages working fine
however, i would say the above in regards to myweather should be confirmed by others. i will say it works fine for me
i'm sure a number of other apps on the list are fine as well.
*Edit* sorry, i didn't see the # of reports as part of the list earlier. that is good, gives people an idea of whether it's widespread or just one person's problem. though if another person can say emphatically that an app has no issues on 2.1, i believe it should be removed from the list or mention made that others had NO problems with the app

I said this about SplashID, initially, but then after launching the program 10 times the keyboard suddenly disappeared. Hence my recant of an earlier statement that SplashID was bug free. Later launched eWallet and had a similar issue, namely the keyboard doesn't show at the initial login screen. Interesting similarity.

Hello Alexander,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us!
We have refined our physics engine over the last months, and the new version of the game (2.1) is at Apple for a week now to be released - the new version is with higher framerate, more responsive flipper arms and upgraded graphics.
This is free for our present customers of course, hopefully by the time you read this message it is already available :o)

Note #2: It appears as though applications which prompt for a password upon launching unreliably present the keyboard for password entry. Both SplashID and eWallet appear to have the same issue. However tapping the password blank brings up the keyboard manually.
I can confirm that Truphone is not working properly. I have to turn off the phone and turn it back on. Truphone has never been a great app but now it is even more crappy.

"What's on" doesn't work for me either. Tried uninstalling and re-installing and a reboot. still doesn't work. I sent the developers an email. I'll report back.

What's on works for me. though the first time i tried to launch it, it crashed back to the homescreen (one of the first apps on 2.1 to crash upon launching). however, the second time i tried to launch it, it came up and is working fine, on 3g.
amazingly enough, the app doesn't seem to work on wifi though....can someone else confirm this?

What's On works fine for me on 2.1. First run after install (I bought it post-2.1) went back to Home, rebooted the phone, subsequent runs work. It uses Wi-Fi fine.
Lexitron has the 8-bit sound issue on my phone as well--sound effects are screeches now.

Quote taken from tuner app thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=6232266&postcount=17)
anyone notice any problems playing an AAC+ stream after updating to 2.1?
my AAC+ stream for my station will play, but after a few seconds will start stuttering, and eventually stop
Looks like I'm not the only one having trouble with AAC+ streams with Tuner after the 2.1 firmware upgrade.

Neither Asphalt 4 nor Platinum Sudoku will play at all for me. Both load, but then within 2 seconds after loading, they crash 100% of the time.
EDIT: Both WILL now play again, after a reboot. Power down and back up and see if that helps other apps. (See this tip (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=565694).)
Thanks for the list BTW!

I have sound distortions in:
- Asphalt
- Toy Bot Diaries
- Texas Hold'em
What's interesting is that it didn't happen right away. I installed 2.1 the same day it was released and sounds messed up several days later for Asphalt, three days ago for Toy Bot and yesterday for Texas (I didn't have Texas before 2.1, cos I bought it three days ago).

Thank you for the info. A fix for Toybot Diaries is present in the app store (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=287747021&mt=8).

Aurora Feint just went completely black-screen for 10 seconds before crashing back to home.
That's a common bug with 2.0-2.1. Not the app itself.

That's actually not a bug with the iPhone OS, it's a feature. The iPhone does that when its memory is running low enough that the phone app might not be able to receive a call. The lack of memory problem *can* be caused by a bug in the OS, but it can also be caused by the app using too much memory. Or by the app using memory *and* the user keeping too many web pages in Safari open or using the iPod app and/or other things that use up memory.
This is one of the reasons Apple doesn't allow App-store apps to run in the background, because of the limited system memory and the fact that users will blame the system if an app they run causes problems with other apps.

We pushed BillMinder 1.01 to Apple a while back -- hopefully it'll be released soon. It should fix most of the issues people have been having (really, it fixes all we know about). We're in the process of adding alerting functionality to it as well for the next version. Very sorry for the trouble this might have caused any of our customers.

Both versions of my app EirText & EirText Pro now crash on firmware 2.1. I've rushed out a fix, but I now have to sit and wait until Apple pull the finger out and approve it. Again.
Oh well, at least I have a pile of support emails to keep me occupied until the update hits... :mad:
EirText is now working on 2.1.
EirText Pro still broken but the update is In Review.
