This! So SO much! Annoys the hell out of me and my biggest annoyance. I have my Plex library on an external network drive and very often all my movies disappear due to the drive unmounting. Just leave it bloody mounted!
I hope they fixed your pet bug. Yes, I mean yours, dear reader!
Maybe they will fix the glitch where a character space stays stuck as uppercase. What happens (and unfortunately I haven't been able to find any forums where other people are mentioning it) is if I type a capital letter, hit backspace, that character space stays capitalized even if caps-lock and auto-capitalization are off, and I'm not pressing the shift button. I have to go back an extra space for it to function normally. I'm thinking this is somehow related to the Smart Keyboard.
I still, do this day, have screen orientation issues that started on iOS 8. When texting via the stock app, if I attempt to go from portrait to landscape in the same text and continue typing, I'd say half the time the screen freezes. I have to kill the app and come back to correct. This is persistent after multiple restores, starting over, and even having the phone replaced under warranty. Its a minor issue, but damned irritating after all this time.
Apple tells me it's a software based problem, and that my back ups are probably passing it forward, but I'd love to know which apps might be causing it. Everything I have is app store, and the phone has never been jailbroken.
Anyone have any other tips?
Maybe it will include the fix for e-mail not being permanently downloaded to iOS9 devices. i.e. when I go back to read an e-mail after a few weeks, it says, "This message has not been downloaded from the server." This did not happen to me prior to iOS9.

For those who don't know, in the Enterprise world we've been having a nightmare week since 9.2 was released.
Apple completely screwed up the mdmd process, which has meant devices have stopped checking into MDM platforms, and they are no longer getting config and profile updates, nor can managed apps be downloaded. It's crippled us.
I wouldn't be surprised if all that is fixed is the mdmd process. I'm downloading now to start testing. I certainly hope so, as we're desperate for a fix. I'm really hoping Apple go public on this ASAP.

As is typical, I posted about this 4 days ago on Reddit and no one battered an eyelid!

Does it really improve something or it is part of the ritual that these updates from Apple have become off late...
In this thread: not really sure how this article can springboard an Apple-hate comment, but I'll give it a good go anyway.
I had this. I worked around it by amending the autofs setup and force-mounting on bootup or resume from hibernate. Slows down the bootup if you don't have an SSD but works like a dream. Check it out here: http://www.apple.com/business/docs/Autofs.pdf
It has always been like this and I don't agree about it being a bug. It's just guessing that you want a capital letter again. And to stop it from guessing you delete the entire word.
FWIW there is a published support doc re MDM:

The last line is telling. Wonder if they're going to give it the bum's rush into the wild. It's a moot point for my workplace as most of our devices in Meraki are running 8.4.1.

Good spot. Was hoping Apple would publicly address the issue.
I really hope they fast track this into public release.
The way you get less bugs is more updates.
I agree with ZEEN0j: This is a feature not a bug. If you delete a capital letter, it assumes you typed the wrong capital letter and will engage the shift key for you. What might be a bug is if it doesn't show the shift key as engaged. But since the shift key is widely seen as not very clear in whether it is engaged or not, I suspect that most of time, people don't realise that it re-engages the shift and think it is typing a capital letter for no reason.
Not with iOS 9, it seems.
Hell, there are bugs still in this thing from iOS 8. It's pathetic.
Love my 6s Plus, but the software is frustrating the hell out of me.
iOS 9 is less buggy than iOS 8. And the fact that there are still some bugs from iOS 8 does nothing to disprove that. :|
Do you know how coding works?
I know how coding works about as well as iOS 9 works.
Your logic is faulty, though.
If iOS 9 is working for you, congratulations. It has been a mess for me that no number of resets and restores has fixed.
Just did a clean install of iOS 9.2 on my iPhone 6P and it definitely made a significant difference in responsiveness, battery life, and overall smoothness! Hopefully 9.2.1 is just icing on the cake and (FINALLY!!
