iOS 6 Beta 4: New Features & Improvements (fixes) Thread

Uhm. No. It just adds .com to red. This is normal standard behaviour in all web browsers since a long time and has nothing to do with searches. Try it with it a nonsensical word like asdfasnerban to see what I mean.

Hey! Try and be a bit more sensitive will you?

I had question for anyone testing this new iOS 6 beta.

In regard to "Wi-Fi Plus Cellular", I was wondering if an iOS device stays connected to the wifi network for other features?

For instance, lets say I hook up an Airport Express in my car. But I only want to use it to allow AirPlay to my car stereo. Will my iPhone be able to use the wifi network to AirPlay music to the Airport Express, but use the cellular connection for data?

Thanks.

Yes

i dont know if this is new or not,
but when looking on the itunes store.
items that you have brought are shown as purchased, and in some cases if the song is on the iPod app, you can click on listen, and it will swap to the ipod app and start playing the song.
and i dont have itunes match turned on,

Vibrations can be disabled for standard alerts, such as new mail.

Pretty irrelevant considering iOS 6 will be release to the public nearly 10 days before that.

What the intended function of "Blutooth sharing"?

 

[Nozuka]

hi, might be obvious but what is BT MAP?

Not sure if anyone already answered your question, but since you asked me:

Message Access Profile

Allows SMS and Push Notifications to be transfered through Bluetooth, so you can see them in your BMW/Ford or whatever car system that supports it or on your Pebble Watch.

Here's a picture from someone using iOS6 with a BMW:

I'd like to research what vehicles have this ability - what's the full term that I can google?

 

[Nozuka]

i think its not widely present yet - but i'm sure iOS6 will be a wakeup call for some manufacturers like audi.

but you need to look for bluetooth MAP.

Bluetooth MAP is used by Ford in select SYNC Generation 1-equipped 2011 and 2012 vehicles [6] and also by BMW with many of their iDrive systems. The Lexus LX and GS 2013 models both also support MAP as does the Honda CRV 2012. Apple introduces Bluetooth MAP in IOS6.

I have this on my BMW also. I thought it was awesome. Btw which BMW do you have?

 

[SimonTheSoundMa]

Greater MANCHESTER, Lancashire yes

How can it be in Manchester? It is a separate city.

Just like the City of Westminster is in the city of London.

Can't imagine a more distracting feature. Let's not text and drive, but lets all follow Facebook updates, WhatsApp notices, twitter mentions, email notifications, etc.

This is one thing I would insist on not having if my kids were old enough to drive. Audio only, and even then your concentration is gone from the road.

No. I'm 19 and I totally agree with you. Texting and driving gets you so spaced out while driving. I've experience it. Nearly crashing like twice.

Would apple up the clock speed in a beta? Phone seems a tad quicker?

I'm not sure if the down-clocking of the CPU is CPU-based or forced by the software, but Apple can certainly optimize the OS which can up the performance.

Has anyone noticed when you go to the AppStore app and you go to the reviews section of a app it shows reviews from 2010-2011 and not any recent ones? I hate that.

Been like that since beta 1.
