iOS 7 Beta 3 Bug Fixes and Changes

I'm starting to see (hear) the new Siri voice a little more often now. Until recent days there has only beed the very rare time when we heard a word or two from the new voice, but in the last 2 days I have probably heard 10% new voice coming through and it is way smoother and clearer.

Cant wait till we hear the new voice all the time down here in Australia

When you say this, you mean from the updates tab? They're not meant to, so you can see what was updated and when.

It would still be nice if you could clear them out manually yourself or if they were hidden similar to purchases where you just have a link that you tap on to see recently updated apps and they aren't just cluttering the updates screen by default.

was having a major issue with receiving calls. some people were complaining it would go straight to voicemail. Never had that issue on iOS 6. going back to iOS 6 right now b.c not receiving calls is a big deal for me.

Yeah, unfortunately a somewhat common issue that surfaced in beta 3 it seems (without any real fix to it, at least not yet): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1608119/
 
Has anyone else noticed this ugly, off-centered battery charging notification when you plug in a charging cable?

I've also noticed a 1-2 second delay from when you lock the phone until when the actual lock sound is activated.

How would many people, especially the less tech-savvy users find the list of updated apps then? It'd be burried and require more steps to see. As it is now, you go to once place and bam, you see all of your apps that have been updated recently.

Why would you go to that tab except to see your updated apps? I'm not quite sure I follow why some individuals want to be able to clear them out. It's not like you sit there looking at the tab all day. You go in to see what was included in an app that was just updated. :confused:

I, as many people, go to that tab to see a list of any updates that might be available, not any that have already been installed.

The typical use case for an update tab/page/screen is to list available updates, so people are used to going there and only seeing something there if there's something to update, and basically not seeing anything there (aside from maybe some related links, like purchases, etc.) if there are no updates available.

That's how the App Store functioned all the time, and how it functions in other places like OS X, for example. That's how it works in other systems as well--if I check for Windows updates, I get a list of available updates, and not a list of those that have already been installed--there's a separate link to go to those if I want to see those. Fairly established design as far as an updates screen is concerned.

That's also how purchases have implemented--you don't get the latest list of everything on the phone on that updates page, you get a purchases link at the top that is easily accessible from that page, which can be done the same way for recently updated apps.

Fair enough, but then, what's the use of checking for available updates when they update automatically?

Not everyone would want or even set up automatic updates and would still use the same things they've done all these years where they check for updates themselves when they want to. Plus sometimes you might want to check for or install something as soon as you find out it should be released, so you wouldn't really wait for it to check and update automatically not knowing when it will happen.

I can definitely see the value of recently updated apps, especially now that automatic app updates have been introduced, I'm just saying there could be better ways of managing them rather than simply having them appear in the same list where only (new) available updates have always showed up and are expected to show up.

I suppose. Maybe they could have the updates tab split similar to in the app store, how they separate paid and free apps. You open the updates section, and on top are two tabs, "Available" and "Recent." That would work well I should think..especially if it by default opened on the "Available" tab.

Sure, something along those lines, and/or a way to clear the recently updated apps if you already saw them (kind of like notifications).

It's not off centred on mine, always in the middle.

My lock sound is 90% on actual, I'm allowing the rest of the 10% as beta glitches.
 
Is there a way to fix this? It's been happening since beta 2 ? No messages are in my messages app as you can see below but it shows 39 messages on the badge

maintenance... hmm. It could be them upgrading the servers to make sure it doesn't go down or slow down. Or maybe they're working on a big update. Should be up before monday.

Or maybe there's a (serious?) problem.

Tomorrow if they keep to the schedule they have been using.

And if the developer portal that has now been down for days without much explanation is back up suddenly.

And if the schedule follows any pattern at all, and if that pattern is one particular one that some think it is.

So, as is usually the case, and perhaps even more is this time, no one really knows anything meaningful about thee next beta release.

Well no matter when the dev portal comes back up, be it now, or in a day or 2, it's going to be sudden surely?! lol. You're very negative.

I'm fairly confined beta 4 will be up tomorrow, but if not, it's not the end of the world........
