Apple Releases iOS 10.1.1 to Address Bugs Related to Missing Health Data

zubikov said:
Last couple of years Apple made a very big deal in their product announcements that ResearchKit, along with iOS embedded features would help healthcare pros and patients conduct "ground breaking research" using their devices. Yet I just looked at my steps, and I see 3 of the 7 days completely missing data.

If I was in the field, I would have a hard time trusting Apple with my research data going through ResearchKit when they can't do something simple like tally up and record a number of steps. Because ultimately, this type of data may make it to the FDA, and the FDA won't take "our researchers were missing data from iPhones and therefore this drug passed" as an excuse.

Your missing step data because of this bug. This bug prevented new data from being written along with accessing previous data. This also did not impact everyone. Research kit is also completely different than tracking steps.. Those are actual apps that are using ResearchKit APIs. Those apps would continue to function even if health data was not being recorded. This is a bug in the health app only.

It didn't work in beta 2 and it was closed. Either way, let's hope they fix it.

I ran all of iOS 10 betas. It first appeared in 10B6. This issue popped up after they fixed the scrolling to the bottom of page bug in Safari. That was a keyboard issue, so clearly some code got crossed.

Go to Settings -> General -> Storage. Do you see the health data on the phone? If so you should be fine. The data is on the phone, the health app just is not reading it.

Shows as 400-something MB vs. almost 2 GB (not 3 like I previously said) in iCloud backup. But I vaguely remember it always being like that where it was times more in iCloud vs. on device. Maybe only portion of Health data is kept on device, I dunno.

That is a bug related to iCloud. Bugs everywhere. The iCloud bug reuploads all your health data instead of overwriting only the new data. So that is entirely normal. You have 400MB of health and every night when it backs up it adds 400MB again and again. But as long as you see the health data on your phone you should be good.

iOS 9 had three updates during September and October, iOS 10 has four updates in the same time period. That is not yet a meaningful difference. And I much prefer that they fix a specific issue that affects enough people quickly with a sort-of single-fix update than letting it fester for weeks until the next 'major' update.

There hasn't been an iOS 9 update since August 25 (9.3.5). What other updates are you referring to?

Thanks! I would say "that is entirely "normal"". :)

I am referring to the updates iOS 9 has received in its first six weeks, comparing that to the updates that iOS 10 has received in its first six weeks. There is little point in comparing the update rate at the end of a major OS version cycle with the update rate at the very beginning.

I see, you meant LAST September and October. My bad! :)

But the PB probably won't drop today, only DP. So the fact that PB users are getting the update is weird.

I am on the PB and did not get update. Unless you meant "aren't getting the update" as opposed to "are getting the update".
 
I love my iPhone and iPad, but I am getting more and more disgusted with the quality from Apple.

In the span of about a month, we received IOS 10.0 and the complete mess that over-the-air update caused for early adopters the day it was released. Then we got 10.0.1, 10.0.2, 10.0.3, 10.1, and now 10.1.1.

What the hell is going on at Apple, the company that is suppose to make such high quality products, which also includes software.

Yes because software never have any bugs? Software is not perfect and never will be. I rather take 10 minutes to update my devices to have the latest security measures and bug fixes than run with an outdated and unsafe device.

Also, we never got 10.0. It was 10.0.1 from the beginning. Only a few iPhone 7s were shipped with 10.0.

Most likely, but the scrolling bug still affects me.

Have you contacted your car manufacturer to see if there is an update for your car's BT system? I have not had a single issue with VW, Honda, or Chevy products.

I'm having issues with my 2011 Honda CR V. Sometimes it doesn't connect when i get in the car. Other times it disconnects after the car has been running for a while. Only way you would be able to tell (other than to try to make or receive a call) is that the little bluetooth symbol that represents it is connected disappears. Note my car only has hands free calling and does not do bluetooth music streaming.

Yes some people did receive 10.0, so don't try to remove that from the list of versions I included to somehow protect Apple or make your response seem plausible. Of course I know software is not perfect we all know that, of course we all want to updated our devices to the latest bug free and secure versions, stating the obvious is a waste of air ... that is not the point!

The point is that the quality of software coming from Apple has been declining over the past few years, and I am not saying Apple's software innovations are an issue, they are not, IOS innovations are great, I am talking about bugs. And no I don't expect Apple or any company to produce bug free software, so don't even try to twist my meaning that I expect bug free software, that is a ridiculous expectation and I never said I expected bug free software. I am talking about an observation of software quality, I am talking about degrees of quality, nothing else.

To have so many subsequent releases of a software product in such a short span of time is a clear indication of a quality control issue, plane and simple. Steve Jobs would never have put up with this garbage, heads would have rolled.

10.0 was never seeded to people tho. No one every had to update to it. So you saying that it was a complete mess OTA is 100% incorrect.

Stop hanging your argument on the sliver of 10.0 versus 10.01, you again are missing the point, so let me beat it in again.

As someone pointed out earlier in the thread, there is only one more update than last year. Remove 10.0.3 because that is iPhone 7 only, then you have the same amount of updates as of last year. You really think Steve Jobs was part of software development? Come on now, don't be ridiculous. Additional, 10.1 was a feature update, not strictly a bug fix. Every version of iOS gets a X.1.

Because there are multiple updates does not mean there are quality control issues. Most of the updates are for security fixes so they then included bug fixes as well. Why update just for a security fix if they can also include additional updates that have already been completed.

I would hardly saw software is declining from Apple. There are millions and millions of more people using their software than 5 years ago. Therefore, more bugs are likely to be discovered which in result would lead to more bug fixes. Its actually quite that simple.
 
Now I got the update. I didn't remove my public beta profile . Downloading now iOS 10.1.1
