iOS 6 Beta 3: New Features & Improvements Thread

Traffic seems variable, but I'm seeing traffic in London (a row of red dots, and roadwork icons). Isn't available everywhere, though. But I guess that depends on where they're getting their data from?

I am getting the red dots and road works symbol in standard view but I think they should exist also in hybrid view. The thing is its 18:20 at the moment, we both know that London now is always stop start, surely the whole of London should be one big maze of red dots?

I still see "Forget this network" at the top of each individual network page, and there is a global "Ask to join networks" toggle on the available networks page, as it's always been. What device are you using?

Funny, I just checked again and now it looks like the standard interface. If I get the different interface to show up again I'll take a screenshot and post it. Very odd, but that's the way betas go.
 
I don't know if its a bug or not, but the Auto-Brightness increasing gradually, instead of instantly might be something to do with the values on the brightness slider. On my iPhone 4 the slider adjusts quickly in the lower regions of the slider but in the brighter half there is little difference in range.

And as I said, not sorted IS jumbled. Yes they are in a list view by time, but the categories are jumbled. If they aren't sorted and categorized, they are jumbled. They may be "in order" of time received, but not by category. Therefore, they are jumbled. Accept it and move on. To me, this makes them more difficult to scan.

The point is that there should be an option to have them sorted by category as they are in the notification center. I'm not sure why they haven't implemented this yet, unless it's a deliberate attempt to not have it look like the jailbreak options.

Umm...that's just your opinion. Notification Center and home screen notifications are two completely different things. Once you unlock your phone or at least open the app that the message came from, they go away on the home screen anyway.

Also, if I see something on my iPad and then go to my iPhone, the "time sort" of the notifications let's me see what is more recent even if I had already opened one of the previous notifications on my iPad.

Honestly, I've never heard anyone complain about the way they come in on the home screen. Do other operating systems (Android or Windows) do it the way you listed?

Yes it is my opinion...that's why I said,"To me...." ;)

I'd just like to have the option of having them displayed the same way on the home screen as they are on the notification center. You can get this with jailbreak apps lock info and intelliscreen x. I'm sure you guys are familiar with those.

Here's an example...

Currently VIP Mail works only for items on the Inbox of all accounts. No subfolders support. This is really bad for me and makes the feature unusable. I have already posted an enhancement request to Apple..on Mountain Lion VIP mail works on subfolders too...

lol. I already went back to beta 2 last night. I tried again this morning because of my friend that was texting me...I'm back on beta 2 again. Lol. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed with some clever tweaks and not a 'iOS 6 beta 4' kind of thing.

Be careful. Find out when the expiration date of beta two is.

Buy they are sorted, sorted by time. Just cos they're not sorted by category does not make them jumbled, your definition is simply wrong. If they were listed randomly then they would jumbled....

I have no idea why you are obsessing about the use of jumbled here. Or you see no merit in having your notifications sorted by category on the lock screen. If that's the case you could just say that and leave it at that.

Clearly I see notifications being sorted by time, but jumbled by category as being less than ideal. I would like Apple to make this option available in the future. End of story.

In Safari, if you hold down the back button, your history pops up.

I think it just shows past pages in the current window, doesn't it? I don't think that's a new feature. I'm running 5.1.1 on my iPad. I could be wrong!
 
I think the only bug i have noticed is in beta 3 is when i go into the passbook app the brightness rises more than half way. People have said that maybe Apple's reason was to to purposely rise the brightness up so it looks clearly when they are scanning. But the brightness should go back to normal once you exit the app though.

Also have you been able to delete games directly from the Gamecenter app by swiping your finger?Or was that in beta 2 already?

Besides that Beta 3 has been running smoothly on my iPhone 4. Although i haven't being able to test the phone calls and txt since I'm in Mexico right now and got no service until i probably next week or so. :p
 
Also one more bug i have noticed is that every time i go on the Gamecenter app i always get the FaceBook Recommendation pop-up. And it get really annoying after i keep saying later. They should fix it. I think that's been there since beta 1 and it's really annoying. I don't know if anyone else finds it annoying.

I'm sure someone mentioned this before, but App Store updates are DELTA! Finally, I've been waiting for this for so long. The update to minecraft today took 5 seconds to download and install, I'm sure it didn't download the whole game all over again. I'm so happy about this, I'm surprised they didn't mention it during the keynote.
 
iCloud won't back up

Just noticed that my iPhone did not back up last night. I tried to back it up and it says it could not be completed. So i turned off iCloud backup and then tried to turn it back on and it would not turn on. what do I do.

I don't know if this has been posted already, sorry if it has, but all my keyboard shortcuts now synced between my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s.
