Apple Releases iOS 6.0.1 with Fixes for Keyboard Screen Glitch, Camera Flash Issues, and More

Did Forstall fix Maps icon ?

Image

Somewhat off-topic (as unfortunately quite a few posts in this thread are), but there's really nothing wrong with the Apple Maps icon. You do literally have to make a left turn (at a stoplight) at an intersection to get onto I-280 (North) there. Sure, the icon didn't exactly draw the slightly adjacent entrance lane where you would turn to before you merge onto the highway, but to try to make some sort of a point based on that when in fact it's basically right is...well...just plain silly.

If you drew the same kind of direction highlighting on the Google Maps icon that was used before, it would look the same, given that even that icon doesn't really isolate the highway on/off-ramps (not that something like that would even be needed on an app icon). Like I said, just silly.

I've seen this many times, and I get how it might be misleading, but I think that's a reasonable way to represent such route at that level of detail, especially if you consider that it's a stylised icon.

strangely enough, facebook was crashing on me earlier today (long before installing 6.0.1)

installing it as we speak, let's see if that fixes it.

Ditto, Facebook was / is also crashing more often than not, and I have yet to upgrade to 6.0.1 on my iPhone 5. Crashing is near constant on iOS6.0 though. Must be something to do with something (yes, this is extremely vague) on our timelines? Seems odd :\

What.

Exchange push still doesn't work.

Sure hope so. Never know when it's going to stop and then start with iOS6 and iPhone5.

Not for me. Exchange push worked for a few minutes then stopped, just like before. Very disappointing. I really can't believe they'd put more energy into the keyboard lines than this. This has absolutely got to be fixed. Completely puzzled as to why this issue hasn't gotten any press to speak of.

They should really tell users to update through iTunes. If you can't do updates over the air with the iPhone 5 how do they expect you to update directly from your device? Anyone else seeing this....

From the article:

iPhone 5 users updating from their devices are required to first install an "updater" application to fix a bug that would otherwise prevent over-the-air updates. Once the updater has been applied users can download iOS 6.0.1 from their devices.

I hope it fixes this:

Good luck trying to convince your provider that there was a bug in iOS that made you use cell data when you were on WiFi. FML

Facebook Crashing

Read 2 articles on other sites [Cultofmac is one of them], and the FB crashing issues has nothing to do with iOS 6.0, or 6.0.1. It's a known issue that has nothing to do with the app.

I guess FB says they're working on it, and an update to the APP isn't required, but to be patient.

For what its' worth...

You are holding it wrongly.

Android users don't understand the principle behind stylized icons if it facilitates iHate.

Not gonna upgrade until I know for sure this wont affect my battery life. Don't wanna relive my 4S debacle.

Fscking A.

This is one upgrade I'm not going to blindly do.

Be aware Facebook app crashes after updated to 6.0.1.

 

[Squuiid]

Facebook is crashing every time after the upgrade. On iPhone 5.

Yep, same here.

 

[Am3r1ca16]

Be aware Facebook app crashes after updated to 6.0.1.

Not for me. I have a iphone 4S

 

[realjerk]

Whatever. The point I was trying to make is that after it crashes it's still in the tray.

The tray shows the most recently used apps, running or not.

 

[Hurley82989]

facebook crashing for me as well.

i haven't used facebook all day so i'm not sure if it was working before the update.

 

[sionharris]

What.

Which part confuses you? I don't own a computer so it's difficult for me to update my iPhone. Nearest Apple Store is 90+ miles away. Not happy.

This isn't even a solid fact. It's only happening to some users.

 

[realjerk]

Still no LTE for Denmark... The network IS ready..

I haven't heard anything about that it shouldn't work in some countries (but I might have just missed it, of course).

Are you sure you have a subscription that includes LTE? They are still quiet expensive in many countries...

If you wanna be an ******* about it, there's this neat thing called OTA UPDATES.

 

[NedBookPro]

I upgraded to the 5 because my 4S after iOS6 couldn't get through the day without a mid-day recharge, or even more.

My 5 is the same way. iOS 5 had tremendous battery life on my 4S.

I really am disappointed this hasn't been resolved, or at least not mentioned in this update list.

I agree. I'm really hoping there's silent fixes that they wont publicly admit.

For me it's the battery life issue, the swoosh before SMTP, and the send on Exchange account email problem.

All of which I submitted feedback many times, but had not an ounce of reply or acknowledgment.

If this update does indeed fix the Exchange Meetings issue, then I'm in.

You have misunderstood. You CAN update over the air, just that you have to download and install the Updater app first.
