iOS 16.1 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Diamond Dog]

Heh, it is.

And I just solved it. I feel like a dumbass.

The UDP timeout for NAT on the router I was using was set to 60 seconds. Wi-Fi calling isn't very chatty and was being timed out. Once I set it to 180 seconds the problem went away.

If you use pfSense and WiFi calling has issues, look into this.

Very funny you post this— that was going to be my exact recommendation, based on my similar experience on a similar setup. Glad that did the trick!

Just jumped on beta 2 coming from iOS 16. Beta 2 feels a lot smoother than official

They are really listening to feedback on this stuff. I’m surprised

No dwought

Unable to check for update... Tried 5G and Wi-Fi

Try re downloading the beta profile. That fixed it for me

Odd issue on both betas where the wallpaper blurs on the home screen regardless of whether blur is turned on or off. 14 Pro Max.

Running shortcuts imbedded in other shortcuts still hang on b2.

Still no rhyme or reason though on which work and which do not.

 

[Pearsey]

Can anyone check the phone powers on.
Can anyone check the screen is bright.
Can anyone check I actually have an iPhone in my hand.

Does the battery percentage look bigger to any of you?

still looks like a bit fat bloated sausage

I was going to go here too, glad you fixed it.

Having issues staying on 5G. Have it set to 5G Auto and Allow more data on 5G but it keeps dropping back to LTE even though 5G is a better signal.

Airdrop between my devices is sloooowwwwww…….

On Air Pods Pro - calls don’t get announced. If it wasn’t for the haptics on my AW I would be SOL.

You do realize setting it to auto means it will automatically drop out of 5G and to LTE to save battery, right?

No such problem with my 14P.

Yes. However 5G has a much better signal (3/4 bars vs 1/4 bars).
Does it while I am using the device - slowdown is very noticeable.
Was more time on LTE than previous beta.

I can see it while idle dropping back to LTE. Is that based on an assumption by Apple or actual live battery use though? I suspect the former.

Giving that a shot.

So...AOD doesn't show phone is charging?? 14 Pro Max.

I can't take a screen pic in AOD mode to show, but just verified three times trying to...hah

Assuming you're referencing my post about checking the camera and GPS - I don't want to install 16.1 beta on my daily driver based on the dumpster fire that beta 1 was and I am sure others share the same sentiment. Just asking the questions that are on everyone's minds and the brave people who share their data after installing are performing a great service
