iOS 5 Beta 6 released to Developers

[Vundu]

I was wondering the same thing? Anybody have the answer?

Just install.

Well, the shiny icons bug from Beta 5 is fixed.

Facebook's icon is no longer glossy.

Now, lets see if the Home Sharing bug has been fixed. That being the same five or six album covers used over and over in the list of albums when viewed via Home Sharing.

Edit: That's a negative on the Home Sharing album art cover.

Skindred's Babylon is showing the cover of Muse's Absolution, and it repeats the same six or so covers throughout the entire album list. When you choose a song, the album art is correct right enough.

I have Beta 4 and I didn't update to Beta 5, and now when i check the OTA, it says "Your software is up to date."

What to do?

Im not a dev, but try restoring to the beta 6 software file.

Definitely more responsive and less "laggy" in UI navigation.

Scrolling is definitely smoother, as are transitions between pages in the likes of Settings.

The annoying bug where if you unplug AUX cable while music is playing and it still showed the Play icon in the statusbar is gone

 

[jonrando]

Good to know. I haven't been able to replicate any bugs in this build. everything looks and feels finalized. I believe next build will be the gold master. I wish apple would add a few new wallpapers or tones to spice up the final release.


edit: Still have to test battery life

Finally, Facebook notifications are coming through as they happen on the website.

I've got Safari open on my Mac, and literally a split second after the notification appeared on the website, the iPhone buzzed and the notification appeared.

That probably has to do more with a Facebook back end overhaul rather than iOS.

 

[jonrando]

Very, very, very, very, very happy to hear everything feels finalized. Unfortunately, the GM is the release which takes the longest to arrive.

 

[Rocknation]

wooow downloading now!!!
anyone already finish download, what different with beta 5?

Yeah, more than likely ... or perhaps a little from both.

Facebook getting their arses in gear, and iOS 5 being that little more refined to receive them better.

GM is likely coming during early Sept "iPod" event.
