iOS 6 Beta 1: Current Bugs & Flaws Thread

Clean install on my iPhone 4S, my "New" iPad and my old iPhone 3GS...

Everything works perfectly, only noticed the following:

on my 4S (main device) - brightness is sketchy, seems to move down from the centre to whatever it wants itself, but it doesnt happen often once or twice in the last few days.

- long phone calls seem to make the phone restart, however the call continues through the restart (happened only once)

- pressing home button while on a facetime call seems to disconnect the facetime call and reboot the device. this has only happened once also so cannot complain.

-keyboard press seems to be laggy...

-only other issue is an app related issue, being ebay, cannot read messages sent to me through ebay, no big deal, this is app related not ios related.

On my 3GS - nothing to report here, all seems well, although I use this as my work device therefore exchange email, phonecalls, texts, voicemails and the only app I have installed MS Lync. the speed of this OS on the 3GS is nothing short of amazing, so quick in comparison to iOS5.

My Ipad - Only the brightness so far, everything else works!

All in all, this is one extremely stable beta (if installing as a new device). I never do a restore when moving to a new major release.

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

The DB 1.5 update is borked and I read on the DB forums they have submitted a fix to Apple for approval. If you uninstall the DB 1.5 app and reinstall it, that seems to fix it.
 
I gotta say I actually have yet to encounter a bug of any kind on either my iPhone 4 or Ipad 3. Seems very stable and in fact faster than ios 5.
Just my personal experience.
 
Flaw: seems to be no way to mute turn-by-turn navigation as of now. This results in very loud Siri directions when listening to music. A way to control the volume in general would be nice.
 
So far everything is working well, I am noticing that my iPad 3 is warmer than usual. Is anybody else having a heat issue?

It's the opposite for me. I can't get Siri to speak turn-by-turn directions out loud. She also doesn't recognize the names of nearby cities very well. I'm in Canada so maybe that's why. Apple's non-U.S. support has been extremely disappointing in the past.

My iPhone will run hot unless I bring up the multitasking bar and shut down each app that's running. I have to do this pretty regularly and it's a pain. I think it's just third party app compatibility with iOS 6. Some may keep running in the background.

I only realised that my phone got awfully slow when I had like 40 Apps running (I opened nearly all Apps to see if some are incompatible). However, it didn't get hot, so probably rather a memory issue. I can't recall such a behaviour on iOS 5. Still, it's not really a problem for me since I usually terminate all running Apps once a day.
 
Experiencing similar issues, force close on maps when searching, some apps not compatible, no turn by turn with Siri. Looking forward to next beta when released! Noticed the new pull down and refresh option isnt working as referred to in the WWDC announcement.

Using new iPad wifi only.

3rd gen iPad. After loading iOS 6, I can't go into mail. Every time I do, it crashes. Anyone else?

My wife's 3 gen iPad iOS 6 works fine in mail.

I am having the exact same problem with Mail.app on my 4S. It was working last night, but this morning I can't open it without it instantly crashing. I honestly have no idea what could be causing this.
 
iTunes Match turned on.
Show All Music turned on.
Use Cellular Data turned off.

Attempting to play all songs using the Shuffle option at the top of the songs list.

Over wifi, everything is fine and songs play/stream correctly.

Once I'm away from wifi, the Music app will play one or two songs, then stop entirely. I have to reopen the app and press Shuffle again to restart it. Play a song or two, then it stops again.

In iOS 5, when a song wasn't available locally, Music would simply skip over it and play the next downloaded song. It appears that iOS 6 (or maybe just my phone) isn't doing this anymore.

Nice to know it's not just me, although changing stores has never really gone that smoothly. In iOS5 it used to get confused and you'd be unable to load the store until you logged all of your accounts out and then instigated a hard reset.

I've had the correct ones on occasion but no idea how I manage it. Every method I've tried has failed.

I have the wrong AppStore and iTunes but iBookstore is right.

I found this problem too. The TomTom app has a nice volume setting that lets you set the nav audio to a percentage of the music playback volume. Apple should add this option.
 
iPhone 4S AT&T 6.0 Beta 1

Maps - searching always crashes (at least 99% of the time)

Brightness - automatically sets itself to 75% or higher, no matter if auto setting is enabled/disabled and I adjust it to low brightness

AT&T Network - About once or twice per day, my phone will lose signal, show 'No Signal' then take 2-3 minutes searching to reconnect to AT&T. Tried iPhone 4S with 5.1.1 in same room - no issues.

Apps - Deleting apps crashes iPhone. Install apps sometimes doesn't appear.

App & Music Store - Work maybe 1 out of 10 tries

Music - My music rarely plays.

Bluetooth - connects to car, won't play music over BT

that's all I can think of so far.
 
iPhone 4S

The issues I've come across so far are the brightness fluctuating, a lot of my iTunes purchased music not playing and Siri just disappeared completely. When I hold down the home button, I now get Voice Control again. I've had the beta since Monday and this just happened today. I read one comment the other day about this same thing but it doesn't seem to be common. I guess I'll try reinstalling iOS 6?
 
iPhone 4 iOS 6 Beta 1
i setup passcode lock on my iPhone and auto lock in 1 minute,
but sometime when I finished using my iPhone is not auto lock.

That did work for me actually. Logging out via settings and then a hard reset and logging back in via the settings. :)
 
Anyone on iOS6 using Voxer?

I updated it last night, it worked for a bit, now when I try to listen to messages, it just sits there in a loop and never plays... Not sure if its the update or iOS6 incompatibility.
 
Has anyone else noticed that when you create an alarm and it goes off and you turn it off to get up it will automatically set it for the same time the next day unless you turn it off.
