Apple Releases iOS 7.1.2 With Mail Fixes, iBeacon Improvements

I've read the whole thread and I'm not seeing three weird things that I've experienced:

1.) Updating certain apps results in two of the app's icon, one in the folder where the app was which is darker, has no title, and does nothing; and one outside of the folder where I had the app with the app's name and the app launches. If I go into any app long enough the springboard gets chucked out of memory and on re-load it's fixed.

2.) it seems like the device is now very aggressive about shutting down apps, but loading an app still shows you where you were so you're tapping on the screen thinking it didn't respond. Then after a couple seconds the app responds to ALL the taps.

3.) the keyboard typing sound goes out intermittently and then returns with a loud series of taps as it catches up.

Anybody experiencing any of this? It's a 32GB 5s on Verizon.

No, mine's a Mitsubishi. I've now resorted to using Google Maps in the interim (unless I'm actually listening to music or something else) until this bug is solved.

Turning on HFP prompts, works for me, too. It's a seemingly little known feature which allows you to listen to other radio inputs (such as AM / FM) and still get directions. I only discovered this recently.

I'd have to reconfirm this (as I do just put on music or listen to the radio w/ HFP prompts) -- But, I think I may have been able to "trick" the bug, one time, before. Maybe I played a web video (or something) and just never hit the "done" button to exit full screen. Hence the audio was still 'engaged' but nothing was playing and therefore turn-by-turn directions were announced just fine.
 
Volume buttons don't work

updated two iPhone 4's to 7.1.2 and both lost volume control. Tried forced reboot multiple times no luck. Under the sounds panel all controls are set properly. iPhone 5 update worked ok. What should I do now? Go to the apple store?

Weird. I switched over to the Maps settings, and even when paired, the HFP prompt option doesn't show up. This glitch almost sounds like Apple tinkered around with the power saving modes and created this issue for certain BT devices. I wonder if this has something to do with the ~2s audio delay between the BT audio and the display. Just enough time for the phone to think that the audio portion is no longer active?

Oh well. I doubt that this issue is a priority with either Mazda or Apple. The Mazda forums are filled with complaints over how iOS 6 broke support for song ID display, and various other random issues with the BT modules Mazda uses.

Just confirmed this! Pulled up a YouTube video and left it paused. Even with the app in the background, the turn-by-turn announcements worked fine.

I'm not sure if what I am about to explain is proper behavior, is a bug that was solved, or still existing behavior, so take this with a grain of salt.

However, awhile ago I found, on an iPad, that if you previously had the slide switch behavior set to be mute/unmute, then used the slide switch to mute the iPad and left the iPad muted via the slide switch, but then changed the behavior of the side switch to be that of rotation lock -- The iPad would stay muted, regardless of volume or mute settings, until you changed the slide switch behavior back to mute / unmute and used the side switch to unmute the iPad.

You could see if this applies to your iPhone(s).

Edit: Wait -- that doesn't make sense iPhone don't have the option to map rotation lock to the side switch. Just ignore me.

Awesome. So there exists a bonafide workaround to have music-less turn by turn driving directions from Apple Maps.

I fixed it by holding the home and power buttons to force a reboot. After the reboot it's been very well behaved. This did something different than shutting the device down normally by holding power and then slide to power off, because after powering off it was still very laggy. The force reboot fixed it.

Sure, and after a while comes back. Annoying... This is an iPad air the most advanced iPad... Or not

I'd also be curious to see if this workaround increases the battery drain. I suspect that the Bluetooth audio issue has to do with how Apple dealt with the reported battery drain that accompanied the iOS 7.1 revision.
