Apple Seeds Third iOS 6.1 Beta to Developers

[ToddJ]

Wake me up when the music player has "up next"

I agree....it is about time they added ability to insert songs after the one you are currently playing......my empeg mp3 had that around 10 years ago

 

[STiNG Operation]

Wonky notification center needs to be fixed.. Notifications in general are acting up..

Would love to see a bluetooth toggle ect. sometime soon.

 

[adildacoolset]

cue the "Safari is snappier" comments...

Where does eddy cue come into play?

 

[atMac]

Well something changed. I don't remember B2 asking me to log back into iCloud.

apple needs to change their update system inn IOS to work like it does on the mac and only update specific pars of the os that need to change... it suck having to down load and reinstall the whole system every time for these constant silly small changes .

That IS a feature and it has been since they released iOS 5

 

[tarasis]

any battery issues fixed for 4s?

Don't know if your joking or not, but if your serious. How on earth are we supposed to tell in the short time the beta has been out? Hmm

I was just thinking that.

So, does it have a secret meaning?

iTunes Match users: you can still download and delete individual tracks like in the previous beta. Also, they fixed the download symbol, it now disappears when you download a song, before it used to remain despite the song being downloaded.
EDIT: still an issue with the download arrow when streaming..it downloads the tracks but afterwards the arrow still appears...

Means a new beta or a GM will be released after this one, in probably two weeks or three weeks

If you are trying to ask about Public release, then my answer is : i have no idea.

On my iPhone 4S, after updating, I sometimes can't go to top with touching top of the screen in Safari. It really annoys me. Anyone experiencing same issue?

 

[teknikal90]

I don't know about everyone else, but all of my iOS 6 devices suck with Wifi (iphone 4s, ipad 4 and ipad 2)
Starbucks Wifi won't work - the splash screen that you need to click 'i agree' on often wont pop up. I'd have to turn the device off and on.
Wifi hotspot plain stopped working. works fine on iOS 5. Rogers Canada here...

Add to that I'm getting around 1 hour less battery with iOS 6 (on iOS 5, i'm going home with 80-85% battery life.)
now I'm lucky to be in the 70s

pain in the butt over all. hopefull

Can anyone report on the homescreen web app geolocation bug? Since 6.0 home screen web apps haven't been able to use the geolocation calls properly and actually fail with no error.

I had that in Beta 2 on my iPhone 5

I'm having the same issues, although I think it's because Apple's servers are messing up...Some notifications aren't being delivered when they should be.

 

[BornAgainApple]

Apple appears to be staying one step ahead as the dev team still hasn't been able to provide a stable untethered jailbreak for 6.0. And my refurb i5 is coming any day now. Guess I'll plug along with my i4 running 5.1.1 in the meantime.

 

[kthnxshwn]

Notifications are dependent on the server of the app that pushes them.

 

[faizoff]

Same here

Yea everytime i change wifi networks on my iphone 4 I have to restart the phone for it to work properly. Home sharing still wont work after updating to 6.0.1

I'm getting really annoyed by not having home sharing and wifi working after the update. I do miss google maps as well.

 

[BornAgainApple]

What features are genuinely new in 6.1, or is it all bug fixes?

Bug fixes that Scott messed up. New features come with Jony-approved iOS7

 

[topmounter]

Is this the release with widgets?

HOPEFULLY it includes on/off widgets for Wifi, Bluetooth and Personal Hotspot.

 

[gmanist1000]

If only passbook would be supported by more apps :/ and have more uses.

Try coupons.com/passbook (on your iPhone)

Some decent coupons in there, they update them frequently as well.

I notice this with the gizmodo website. Every other website for me works fine. What sites in particular have this issue?

 

[decimortis]

I just got an iPad 4 that I thought was burning through battery life pretty quick but I just chalked that up to it being more power hungry than my 4S which I haven't really noticed suffering from poor battery performance lately.

Maybe 6.1 will improve the power consumption of the iPad 4.
I have no technical expertise in this area, so I just blindly hope.
