iOS 6 Beta 4: Current Bugs & Flaws Thread

ethana said:
I have a big problem. I did a complete wipe of my iPhone 4S.... Data, Settings, everything... so my phone had to reactivate. I walked through the steps just as if it were a NEW phone.

I can't turn Bluetooth on. Period. I try to switch it to On and it just flips back to Off.

I am going to try and reboot my phone and see if that fixes it. The only things I did before I tried to turn on Bluetooth was setup Nike+ and set up iCloud.

Restarting my phone fixed this. It immediately showed up as "On". This is definitely a bug but thankfully a restart fixes it.
 
One bug I've found in every beta is in spotlight search. I have turnt mine of to search for messages and when I search something it does 2 things. 1st it still loads messages and 2nd it shows messages that have been deleted. Anyone else finding this?
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but Apps can't access the App Store when redirected E.g passbook, any app asking you to rate it etc.

All you get is the "cannot connect...." Error message
 
Enhanced:
My Battery life on 4S is much better.
Bux fixed:
Screen doesn't keep turning on anymore on the lock screen when you change the volume. (Probably part of the reason I have better battery life as I listen to my music about 3/4 hours a day travelling to and from work).
 
Bug:

Email notifications remain present in notification center after deleting an email without opening it.

Hi I got a huge bug..

I downloaded the beta 4 from the website and did a restore with the new ipsw.

When its installed and wants to setup I enter my Pin code. It says success and connects to 3G Network. No provider is shown next to the bars. Normally telekom.de was shown.

Now if I try to activate the phone via Mobile Network or Wifi it tells me that the card is not useable with the device and I need to contact my provider to get a new one.

I tried many different cards in my company but with no success. I can´t activate it..! I couldn´t even manage to downgrade using the redsnow tool.

Please apple.. Release a new beta!

Anyone have a suggestion for me?

Thanks!

If you couldn't downgrade using the redsnow tool, I would (unfortunately) recommend a DFU restore. That's so odd either way though... Hopefully someone else can help ya out if DFU is out of the question.

Thanks aDRock,

I drove the phone into DFU. The phone screen stayed black and I then chose through iTunes to install iOS 5.1.1 ipsw. The installation went through but I still get the same message :(

Do you have any other suggestion?

Thank you very much!

So people who aren't even supposed to have the betas can report bugs to Apple about them?

i'm not sure about that... my point is that as well as posting on here (a forum where Apple might not monitor).. there is the official channel... which Apple will acknowledge and hopefully fix before final release..

Granted not everyone who has the beta is a registered developer, which is why I said "i would hope some of you.. ".. implying the "some" to be those who have developer accounts :)

I really thought DFU would take care of it... My only other suggestion would be to start a thread with this issue and see if anyone out there is familiar with it. I have never had that issue, so I am not of much help :)( sorry) Best of luck!
 
I have a good one for everyone. When listening to music in my car using the 30 pin connection to an iPod enabled pioneer head unit, the music will cut off ever 30-45 seconds and only come back on by disconnecting and reconnecting. Pandora cuts off as like-wise, but only for a 1/2 second and come back on its own. (iPhone 4s) haven't checked the iPad yet. Anyone having the same issue?

No problem aDRock, you were of great help. Otherwise I wouldn´t have tried the DFU restore and finally submit this bug to Apple! :)

Thank you!
 
The App Store is still a little buggy around app updates. It doesn't refresh properly, showing no updates when there are some, until you close it in multitask and they show up when you open it again. Hopefully this is something Apple can fix in the background of the App Store and push out.
 
Perhaps not a bug but I hate that flagged messages in other folders than inbox don't show up in the flagged items folder. The same holds for the VIP folder. This worked ok in b1 but as of b2 was limited to messages in inboxes. Hope they fix this as I have a lot of messages that do not come in my inbox as I use a lot of auto inbox rules (Exchange) to sort my mail.

Moreover, the arrow next to VIP in the mail apps bugs me as it looks ugly.

Nope.
I listen to both my 4 and my 4S through my Sony head unit via the 30-pin and they're both fine.
There was a problem in B3 with the volume being lower whenever Maps was open and navigating but that looks to be resolved in B4.
