New baseband / modem firmware actually stays connected to Sprint LTE and 3G. It's seriously much improved.

Its always been like that, so that barcode scanner can scan without too much problem.

Why are you assuming that these engineers are only working on this update in the last 3 months?

Also, iOS is used by MILLIONS of devices. The amount of time needed to test something like this is enormous.

Thats what i meant,just doing that usually solves any syncing problems.

My wifi speeds on my iPhone 5 went from 18mbps down to 42mbps down. Now my iPhone has the same connection speed as my iPad and MBP. Couldn't be happier with this update.

iOS 6.1 is.... Well the same as 6.0... It should have been 6.03

I am not going through all the pages. But notifications still don't give out sound for me. I have had the phone troubleshooted at the apple store before. They have even swapped the phone out for me. One of the last times i went back, they said that they were getting alot of walk in complaints about notifications either not coming in or not making sounds. They said the standard line about 6.1 will fix all of that. But nothing, i am hoping that once my phone is jailbroken, i can try to download some kind of ipush type program that may fix my notification problems.

Exactly. I love how an _operating_system_ update is casually dismissed as a weekend project

It seems like a huge hassle to go through setting everything up again.

Has anybody found that when, for example, when listening to a youtube video in Safari, you go back to the home screen, switch to the multitasking music controls, you can no longer listen to the video while not in Safari?

Also, the same happens with the Jasmine YouTube app!

This happens on both iPhone and iPad

I tried this on my Dad's iPhone 4 running IOS 6.0.1 and I can still listen to the music from Safari while not in the app

Yeah i think it may have to do with a patent Apple owns. The brightness adjusts according to the image shown so obviously if you were using Passbook, brightness would go up so the scanners can scan your phone easier

Yeah they took away background Audio for Safari. google seems to want iOS to get rid of that . Google asked Jasmine to take that feature away so

You're right, Jasmine no longer works right; however MacTube still provides audio with the app running in background. Google has been trying to crack down on 3rd party youtube clients to prevent them from being able to play audio outside of the app. Jasmine went through this several months ago when it would automatically keep playing when you exited the app.

I'm sure they'll get to MacTube eventually...

Why, so people can flood these forums with:

"where is 6.1???????"

You people need to remember.. You weren't promised anything other than 6.0. Stop bitching and complaining that you didn't get more features.

I did that. It simply wasn't addressed by Apple in the 6.1 update. I get my notifications, i just can't hear them. No sound at all. And like i said before, everything is set correctly. I did a dfu restore etc. Stopped by my Apple store earlier, told them i had 6.1 on it. They were clueless. (They did say that this has been an ongoing issue with customers going there, complaining about the same thing as me) And a new phone hasn't worked, cause i tried that also. Like i said, it will probably be the jailbreak team that will end up fixing the no sound notification issue before Apple does.

Was the Do Not Disturb bug fixed?

Since I upgraded to iOS 6.1 yesterday , I noticed that Personal Hotspot ( Partage de Connection) was now in the main Setting page . Any one else ?

It's been there for a while now. (At least since 6.0 that I can verify)

I checked on my old iPhone 4S that doesn't have the update and it' s not there , It's only in Cellular network .

Well , I have upgrade the 4S and it doesn't show in Settings , only in cellular network , so I guess it's a i5 thing I had not noticed …..

Look slike Apple did also a few security updates in 6.1

Is the App Store and the Music app smoother and lag-free than 6.0.1? These 2 redesigned apps seem to be quite buggy in 6.0.1...

What would the point of a lock screen be if you could accidentally change the music? The double click method is there as an unlock method.

Mine was like that before. I think it appears when you first use it.

Is this new or have I just not noticed it before?

Edit: Also just noticed that if I choose Adobe Reader, when I open another PDF in Safari, it defaults to 'Open in Adobe Reader' instead of iBooks.

It's not new to 6.1
