Yeah, without favorites/bookmarks it's still there but the screen doesn't dim enough behind it to make it clear--you can make it out usually, but not that well.
Does pausing and starting the video again get it working? What about using the on-screen volume controls (if they are available)?
Might want to look at similar types of threads for 7.0 and even some earlier iOS versions.
No such thing as defect-free, at least not in reality.If anyone from Apple is reading, hopefully noted issues are addressed in 8.2. For future improvements in software quality, consider having separate groups perform quality checks (Is there a GUI development group in Apple yet separate from software?). Key is appropriate checks and balances.
Also, programming results in too many bugs. Need to develop UI development at a higher level i.e. use state machines where the states are known and the conditions for transitioning between states is clear(er). The further away from C/C++ one can get, the higher the likelihood of developing a defect free interface.
Nowhere was an excuse provided or mentioned. Simply reality was just brought into light.
Yup, there was a screw up. Yup, it wasn't good. And, yup, in reality screw ups happen everywhere. Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with 8.1 as it already has been out for some time. When new updates come there will be people who get them right away and post about them, so others who might care about it can find out before they update, as they could for many updates before as well.
