iOS 6 Beta 3: New Features & Improvements Thread

[*Calypso*]

It doesn't prompt you to enter it went you download free apps or apps you've already purchased / previously installed.

It does for me.

Happens randomly. Last time I also need to input my password, but now I don't need to input

 

[Nevzorus]

We have 132 small new things, we're there soon.

Yeah, I found that out after I replied to the thread! It's good.

No, I don't expect the next update until September.

 

[Steve J0bs]

Thanks! Do I need to be running iOS 6 on both my iPhone and iPad? Or, can I just have ios 6 on my iPad.

Good question, i assume both need iOS 6.

Well not in the Netherlands, probably only US accounts? Nothing showing up in the iPad.

US only at the moment.

Then you're a fool. Betas have historically been every 2 weeks, give or take. You're expecting there to be around an 8 week gap between beta 3 and beta 4?!?!

Wrong. I'm in the uk and it works.

This feature is not enabled in ios when trying to download a song you have purchased. Flaw

This isn't a flaw or bug. Apple has just chosen not to enable it..

That's ridiculous, they won't waste a whole extra month on beta 3.

Beta 3 has lost it's usefulness now, all it's bugs have probably been identified.

Definitely not cool. We need more features! I think one more beta should do before the GM.

There won't be any new features in the betas that haven't already been announced. Just tweaks and bug fixes. There's probably 2 more betas then GM at beginning of September if the 12th sept iPhone announcement is true.

Instagram on iPhone 3GS iOS 6 beta 3, runs smoothly. Howevre, when trying to use camera it crashes almost 99%

Yup, I am.

You can call me a fool if I'm wrong.

Tried Beta 3 on my iPhone 4S 16GB Model :
Country - Colombia

Battery life has definitely become better.

Safari seem faster to load pages.

Things which suck:
Maps for Colombia: A lot of cities doesn't show in satellite mode.
Turn by Turn Navigation does not work in Colombia
^ Siri Voice navigation is also not available
Location services are not available (Siri).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can somebody please post a test of Maps app in San Jose, Costa Rica? 3D? Traffic? Anything?

Just Satellite/hybrid images nothing much

I liked the full screen screenshot previews in the App Store but they seem to be switched off in Beta 3.

When you try to allow facetime over 3G, you get this popup that takes you either to your cellular providers site (in my case ATT) or it calls 611 if you press the top button. I can't turn on facetime over 3G with iOS 6 beta 3

I have no problem with FaceTime over cellular. Installed ios6 b3 and it was already active, here's a picture:

I have an iPhone 4S
Here's a picture with it in use:

Your battery dropped 2 percent in 3 minutes.

That's cuz I was on 4G and I haven't fully charged my iPhone in a week and a half xD

AT&T iPhones are on 4G (not real 4G but HSPA+) about 75 to 90 percent of time.

 

[Hiljacksandwich]

Does anyone else have problems sending picture messages and MMS to non-iMessage phone numbers?

Ages I have this problem. I only receive photos a day later.

Should we have a google docs spreadsheet to manage these features and bug threads? I don't know if one exists already.
