iOS 16 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[decafjava]

You may benefit from a hard reset. That can clear up some battery drain and some cell connectivity issues (especially if it connected in iOS 15).

Also take note everytime I do a big upgrade for some reason bluetooth is turned on by default.

Just went to my sons phone.

Followed the steps.

There is no ios16 file

Well the next thing I would suggest is to do a hard reset (look for instructions on how to do that for your phone model).

If that doesn’t work I would try a restore of the phone. Back it up first and do a restore and see if that helps.

Sorry you’re having all of these issues.

The only issue I've had even with the live now that's I've read other people's posts about is I still have no keyboard haptics.

Yeah, agree that usually helps clear some issues, but here it only resolved connectivity for a few mins before it dropped out again. Signal does sometimes come back itself, but quickly drops out again.

I am now locked out of my banking and corporate apps due to the full restore…not how I wanted to spend my evening. Also, can’t downgrade as my watch updated overnight 🤦🏻‍♂️

I am still getting an absurd amount of system crashes on iOS 16. I really hope this isn’t a continued problem with the new phone. Friday can’t get here soon enough!!

Just tried to download 16 again and like the past 2 days, I got another error message.

Software Update Failed
Error occurred d/ling 16.

Anything else I can try?

Did you do the things I suggested in the other thread?

Yes I did.

the iOS 16 file did not show up in the iPhone storage

 

[gwhizkids]

Yes I did.

Then I would restore your child's phone and see if that helps.

Try to update using iTunes, it’s proving to be a much more reliable method than OTA

I love that one has a full album cover in lockscreen when listening to music but the volume bar has gone. Even when I change the volume with buttons I don't see any indications of the volume level as before. I have to unlock to see it.

Yeah this is really, really, really annoying. I’m kinda astounded they’d get rid of the volume control on the Lock Screen. It shows up if I’m Air Playing something to a HomePod or AirPort Express. But once I play anything on my AirPods or Bluetooth speakers the volume bar is gone.

It’s pretty infuriating and makes no sense to me. I’m definitely going to be politely complaining to Apple.

I agree with you, and I know this doesn’t make up for it, but as a temporary fix, can you just not use the volume buttons on the phone itself?

Well I do that but still want to see the volume level.

Every upgrade, iOS or MacOS, turns bluetooth on. Has done for years. I turn it off after every one.

Magic trackpad support is pretty much broken in iPadOS 16.1 beta 2.

I'll try the iTunes route this evening.
Completely forgot about iTunes.

Now don't anyone laugh or giggle -

Gotta go on YouTube for a tutorial on installing iOS on your iPhone.
It's been soooo long I forgot, LOL
🤣🤣

I’d have to do the same thing. Don’t feel bad!

Just tried installing using iTunes.
When I connected the iPhone to the MacBook, the message I got on iTunes
was that the iPhone had the latest update, 15.7

16 was not an option.

I don't mind restoring if that's what I have to do.
Just want that to be the last option / step if possible.

Since installing iOS16 on my 13 Pro max, I have noticed I keep getting the message that the phone stops charging until its tempurature goes down. Im using wireless charging and sometimes the screen is on (Im using the phone), but it has not done this before.

I think it is a bug as the phone feels pretty cool to the touch.

There may be one more thing you can try before resorting to a restore. I believe that there is a different method for updating via USB on MacBooks now, iTunes isn’t used anymore like it still is on Windows. Someone here probably has more familiarity with specifically how USB updates are done on Macs now.

im not having this bug but saw someone else complain. Is this just an Iphone 13 thing?

My 12 PM is running considerably hotter following iOS 16 update and the battery draining noticeably faster 😡

FYI for anyone getting a new phone tomorrow.

Could be a long day…

I was on the iOS 16 public beta, and I installed the most recent version of iOS 16. I removed the beta profile. Software Update shows “iOS 16.0 is up to date”. I’m getting the 14PM tomorrow. Is my current 13 PM on the full non-beta version of iOS 16?

If you installed the RC last week, then yes... there was no updated version from the RC to the general release version that came out on Monday... build is the same.
