Apple Releases iOS 8.1.2 With Fix for Disappearing Ringtone Issue

How many updates do we have to do before Apple get's it right with iOS8!? This is the most updates we've had to do in a short period of time and it probably still won't be right..

As long as it takes? Would it be better to have less updates so that those problems aren't addressed?

As for the most updates, I'm not sure if that's the case really. Previous iOS versions didn't go to x.1 until later on and had more x.0.x updates, so it's hard to say this is really much off from that. iOS 7 didn't really become stable for many until 7.1 at the earliest, and that was a good half a year since 7.0 was released.
 
I have my phone permanently set to vibrate. I hate those that refuse to do the same -- making clicky sounds when texting, dinging for each recieved text or email, and worst of all is blaring some rediculous ringtone at the worst possible time.

Really they should have broken it more not fixed it. :D

Still no fix for Health App? WTF are they doing? One of the premier new features of iOS 8 just doesn't work!

I have had to remove all the apps that interact with health app and completely stop using it. multiple entries, missing entries, so many duplicates that it would hang the app and crash when i tried to remove some of the repeated data. Health Kit was such a nice idea. They put it out there, it didn't work and have abandoned it.

I understand they may be working on it but there has been no word that they even recognize it is broken. Pretty disappointing.

Anyone who pays for a ringtone needs to take a long, hard, look at themselves.

Not for nothing, but anyone who steals a ringtone they would otherwise honestly have to pay for needs to take a long, hard look at themselves.

Unless you don't value your character and integrity.

BL.

The point is that iOS8 is the worst iOS up to date.. that is quite obvious to everyone except the people who work for Apple or created it.

There were other ringtones that worked AFAIK. Just ones purchased, disappeared. But yes I'm so glad Apple chose to push this as an update over things such as Safari issues and WiFi issues.

Seems like a really weird things to warrant an immediate update being sent out to everyone. I'd fix the bug in the update that's being worked on and just let the one customer who noticed it know that it's been fixed and the update will be out in a month, and that in the meantime they can use any of the dozens of standard ringtones.

I'd probably also give them a $5 iTunes credit to their account.

The update that's being worked on is iOS 8.2, which includes Apple Watch support. We won't see it in a month.
 
Is there any way to force a check for updates? Software Update is offering me 8.1.1, despite being on an iPhone 6.

If not, then I can use iTunes when I get home.

Edit: Shutting down and rebooting the phone makes it re-check. It's now offering 8.1.2 to me :)

Similar things were being said by various people about iOS 7, which is now being seen as some sort of amazing and stable iOS version. Various others have had different issues in previous iOS versions as well, so for them those versions can be seen as being worse. So what seems to be "obvious" isn't actually so.

Support documents aren't up yet for me so I have no way of knowing what other "bug fixes" occurred? Care to ellaborate since you seem to know…

The implication there is that the notes say it's more than a single fix (as opposed to the claim that this was a release for a single fix).
 
Well this "fix" worked for me, though not perfectly.

I'd sent a ticket to Apple about a week ago when I noticed a text-tone missing. Got a response that they were working on it (2 responses actually).

Anyway, they're on my phone now but in duplicate and triplicate. Same with purchased ringtones.

The original Mac Rumors news article says "bug fixes" which is what I was repeating.

If the article isn't detailed enough for you take it up with MR. I didn't write the post.

I purchased a ringtone for the first time ever a couple weeks ago .. it never downloaded, this now explains why..

I submitted ticket to Apple to get my money back (never heard anything from them - haven't checked my account to see if they restored the funds)

But, installed the update; went to restore-tones and my missing ringtone is now on my phone :)
