Can someone attempt this and see if it works as I can't get it no matter what I say :-(

Works for me! I just asked Siri to remind to get milk when i get home, and it showed me the reminder with the location arrow that says "my home" and then Siri asked if I wanted her to create it, and I said yes, and she did.

Tried again and can create a reminder for work but not home?

Does your phone know where your home is? I would assume that if you have your work address, it will know when you get there, but maybe if your home address is not there, it won't know how to create it, since it won't know when you get there.

I noticed my home address was saved different to my work address so I deleted it and added it again and now they are exactly the same layout but Siri won't work for home !!! Very Strange.

Slightly off topic but something I find annoying. Since I deleted my home address and recreated it now work is listed first then home. This happens with telephone numbers too can they not be reordered into an order I like?
 
Keyboard: Sounds don't follow speed of typing.

Sounds: Lock sounds have changed, dulled out sounding.

Pictures: Unable to send pictures directly from photo app using new shortcuts.

Twitter: When posting tweets from the notification menu, tweets show up as "Posted from Safari for iOS" on twitter.

Text Switching: When in a message, when you a receive another message and tap the banner, the phone shows no distinguishable sign of switching conversations... It just appears.

Battery Life: Seems to be spotty

Apps: I expect none of them to work considering no one has updated their apps to work with iOS 6 yet so why even try.

Other then that, I did a clean install on mine and didn't try to do an iCLoud restore from prev backup. If some of you are having problems, wipe the phone and do a clean install.

All my apps on iPhone and iPad work fine...no issues with over 250 combined on both devices
 
Has anyone gotten Address book sync over iCloud to work?
I can't update from within the app, by manually syncing to iCloud or by syncing from iTunes.

yes, this seems to be working for me. I made a change to a contact on iPhone and it was fairly immediately available in Address Book. I made a change the other way and I had to force the sync on the iphone by changing something different -- and then my second change showed up. I could have probably waited it out but I didn't feel like it.

this is iCloud-based for me. Let me know if I've misunderstood you.
 
What kind of router are you using?

It cant be the router...Its working flawlessly on iOS5 and ever other OS since. The router is perfect...constantly giving me between 16 and 18meg on most devices in the home.

Its only iOS6 thats not working at all on the iPad..

very weird....

anyone else getting this issue?

Yes that is exactly what I meant.
I tried syncing with Address book on my Mac instead but all I got was a new, empty group in Address book on my iPhone that I can't get rid of now.
Edit: A restore fixed the iCloud syncing issue, but the empty group remains and I'm now unable to sync music over from iTunes.
Edit2: A restore from an older iTunes backup restored the musc, and iCloud seems to work too.
So all is well except for a few dozen texts that got lost between then and now.

This is a good one. When in the camera app and previewing a video you just took, pressing either volume button to change the volume of your preview swipes the screen down and takes you back to the camera.

Also, the stupid emojis keep starting on the last screen! So annoying.:p
 
Ios6

There's allot of things wrong with ios6 the multinational keyboard doesn't work and the phone freezes when going to one app to another. But there are allot of great improvements the camera quality has improved dramatically it pictures do come out clearer and the screen does show better detail. I would assume the programing they did for the retna display is making an impact on all the iPhone 4.
 
DND only works when the phone is locked.
Oooooohhhh. That explains it ... and that's exactly how I want it to work! Excellent.

The new Dropbox update crashes immediately upon launch. Sucks because it worked fine before.

But I'll admit, almost all my 150+ apps work fine.
 
Up & running on wifi iPad 3, so far, so good. Wifi is working, Siri is working, music & mail.
 
Landscape keyboard in Spotlight

Here's a funny one. Using an iPhone 3GS. Firstly, I am also experiencing issues with Maps, especially regarding searching. Attempting to type within the search field crashes the app with 100% consistency. This issue occurs only after restoring from an iCloud backup - with a new setup Maps performs much better.

More interestingly, if I use Maps in the landscape orientation, and then proceed to attempt to type within the search field thus crashing the app, when I navigate to Spotlight on the Home Screen it pulls up the landscape keyboard.

:rolleyes:

Every app save from my local bank's app and Mixcloud streaming works great for me. I don't have any of the other bugs reported (map search works fine, no crashing). I've never used auto-brightness (battery killer) so I can't comment on that.

All in all the most stable beta iOS release I've had the pleasure to test. Completely unexpected this early in the game.

Well, not completely true. Maps don't seem to speak metric or left hand side drive. But that's beta for you.

I would think so. No real need for a do not disturb if you're actually using the device. It's more so geared toward alerts when in a meeting or sleeping.

This is actually excellent. I was worried about DND kicking in while I was using it on the weekend when I'd normally be sleeping. Looks like I won't need to manually turn it off now.

Dropbox still works for me after the update.
I tapped Cancel upon the Camera Upload introduction.
Could the crashing perhaps be related to that?
Try re-installing and cancelling that.
 
Just checked my auto brightness and it is indeed glitchy. Am still amazed by the increased speed in Safari on my iPhone 4. It is now on par with some of the dual-core Android phones when the iPhone 4 is only single-core!
 
I'm unable to access my regional store.

I have two accounts, one in the UK and one in NL, when I switch accounts I get moved to the US store and can never get back. I remain logged in with the correct account, but only ever see the US store and therefore can't buy anything.

I have done some searching it appears there is a QoS setting that iOS 6 is sensitive to. Some folks have found turning on WMM mode fixes their problem.

Same problem here.
