Has anyone notice that Siri is no longer working in the UK like the Beta 2? I used to ask questions like who won the English premier league last season, where is the nearest restaurant etc. now it just responded me would you like to search the web, and I can't look places in the UK. One more thing the battery life is draining really rapidly don you think?
 
The Maps voice now defaults to your location's Siri voice, so in my case, the male voice reads the directions. I actually prefer the US voice, though...
 
Has anyone that has sprint noticed that with the beta 3 of iOS 6 you cant send text messages to non-iPhone contacts? I can send iMessages just fine to an iPad, another iPhone, or mac, but if I text one of my contacts that doesn't have an iPhone, it fails to send unless im actually on a phone call. Sprint took me through all the data resets, etc...still not working. I confirmed with a friend who is also running beta 3 of iOS 6 also & has sprint that he has the same problem. Any ideas?

This must be a Sprint only issue, no issues on Verizon... so far (*knocks on wood*)
 
Anyone tried the podcast app in beta 3? It was unusable in beta 2.

Still pretty much unusable for me (iPhone 4) - takes over a minute to load the app, then locks up when you try to load anything. It rarely crashes for me, but basically just runs incredibly slow.

Is it this unusable in iOS 5? I hope not.
 
Next bug aside from my unknown album one...

Uing the BMW car integration (2010) the track info and covers are displayed in the car correctly but the music comes out the iPhone... not cool! only every third or fourth time but when it does it you have to reboot to fix it? anyone able to replicate?
 
iPhone 4S - Sprint - Not Sending non-data Text Messages

Has anyone that has sprint noticed that with the beta 3 of iOS 6 you cant send text messages to non-iPhone contacts? I can send iMessages just fine to an iPad, another iPhone, or mac, but if I text one of my contacts that doesn't have an iPhone, it fails to send unless im actually on a phone call. Sprint took me through all the data resets, etc...still not working. I confirmed with a friend who is also running beta 3 of iOS 6 also & has sprint that he has the same problem. Any ideas?

Confirmed bug. If a text is being sent using the Sprint network, it fails. If using iMessage, i.e. data, it zips right through. Might even "snap" right through. ;)

Also, when a text message is being sent, notice the signal bar...it will change to No Service or Extended...seems the SMS app is having a hard time accessing the phone/3G antenna.


Bug/issue: Can't send SMS messages that aren't iMessage (can't use cellular to send text messages)

iPhone, iPod, iPad model: iPhone 4S on Sprint (seems to be limited to Sprint issue)

Fix: none
 
Home sharing got back with beta 3 but now it crashes in the video and music app. So Home sharing fails to work. Anyone else tried to get it to work?

I have an WIFI iPad 3 64gb
 
I noticed on my 4S with AT&T I lost the ability to send and receive any form of picture messaging. I went in a reset my network settings. Doing that it took about five minutes as iMessage came back and I could send and receive picture messages to any carrier or phone. Not sure if anyone experienced that. Resetting the network settings also switched my @me to @icloud which never switched like they said would automatically happen.

Having the same problem, but this does not appear to fix it for me. Hangs at the last part of the send.

Ah, the beta life. Some steps forward. Some steps backwards.
 
Photos all messed up

Updated to iOS6 beta 3 this morning. Results: MUCH FASTER! Safari, general functionality, send options etc.. Very cool. A few problems thus far, anyone else seen these: 1) Saving a photo from a text or an email to the camera roll results in duplicates. 2) I have 11,000 photos on my phone all in different folders, and at first the folders didn't even appear - they just showed up all together in my photo library. When they did appear, all 76 folders appeared multiple times. Scrolling through the list cycles through the folders alphabetically, and once Z is reached, you're back to A again, scrolling down to Z, then back to A again. The content was not duplicated; it's just a duplicate listing. 3) Can't send a group MMS.

Could be an issue with service in your area. I too have Sprint and just texted a non-iphone and it went through just fine. I am up in Mass.

Works fine. Do a reset all settings.
 
- The 'Usage' time counter isn't accurate for me. I'm not positive, but it might be that playing music is no longer counting as usage. I'll have to do some more testing, but 2.5 hours usage draining me 70% can't be correct. I average about 6 hours on a full charge.

- Some of my Facebook events are appearing on the wrong day in the Calendar app. For example, an all-day event scheduled on August 11th on Facebook is appearing as occuring on August 10th in the Calendar app.

4 of us all in the same town. 3 of us on Sprint can't send text messages, the other one can. And the one that can has the exact same white 16gb iPhone 4S as one of us who can't. I went back to Beta 2 because I couldn't figure it out.
 
Passbook brightness...

Wasn't it said that the opening the passbook app is intentional to make it easier for scanners to scan whatever you have in there?

This makes sense actually. The only problem is, the brightness needs to decrease when it's exited.
 
Local weather back in beta 3 but it has now stopped working for me. It's still showing the town I was in this morning but I'm back home now 116 miles away. It doesn't even give weather for the town showing as you'll see in the picture

Typical as soon as I post this it's working again :)
 
I am not sure if you want it posted here, or in another thread, but the Xbox Live App is now working again in iOS6 Beta 3.

Personal Hotspot Dead

I have iPhone 4 on AT&T. Personal hotspot is useless now, which is extra great because I shell out extra cheddar to use it. Can't connect via WiFi or USB cable. Updated iTunes to latest drivers for Windows. Still can't connect. Can see it from both computers but can't connect from either. Everything else seems peachy.
