3.1 Beta Bugs

[shutter13]

I loaded the beta this morning and I've noticed a couple of bugs.

1) When adding a mobile me mail account once you tell it which options to sync it sits there and spins at "configuring sync options" I deleted this account and attempted to set it up again and while it was "configuring sync opions" the screen flickered between the appropriate screen and the Apple logo. In both instances the account appears to have been set up properly.

2) Mobileme push mail has slowed up again (similar to how it was in the 3.0 beta)

3) mobileme accounts are spontaneously transformed to .mac accounts. This is not specific to 3.1, happened in all the 3.0 betas and the official 3.0, but it hasn't been fixed wither. It's a pita to try and send an email only to learn you have to delete and set up your .me account cause it wants to send from smtp.mac.com and can't.

4) Inconsistant battery life (Decent battery life yesterday, today it's dropping pretty quick)

5) poor wifi reception and wifi drop outs. (this has been going on since 3.0, although I never had it drop my home wifi connection in the house until 3.1)

That's all I've noticed so far.

me and i think 2white2fight had the ipod crash after updating, a resync of your music will fix the problem

Same reason we screwed around with the 3.0 beta, cause we can't help ourselves.

Another one I found, will try to reproduce it later, although I couldn't tell you if it would have done this before, hadn't watched a video on the 3GS before.

Shutter, I am getting that bug also. I would have never noticed it if you didn't mention it cause I haven't watched a video on my 3GS yet and probably wouldn't have.

I have just reported all these bugs. In addition I reported

1) Inconsistant battery life
2) poor wifi reception and wifi drop outs. (this has been going on since 3.0, although I never had it drop my home wifi connection in the house until 3.1)

Definitely inconsistent poor battery life.
I think on 3.0 I finally had the best performance out of wifi. And even better with my 3GS, actually perfect performance with the 3GS. Even on 3.1 it is amazing. On 2.x I could never stay connected and I finally do now.

See, I'm the opposite, had great wifi reception on 2.2.1 and the 30 betas, but the official put it in the toilet.

That's what I was thinking, but I actually think there must have been something wrong with my 3G's wifi cause I could never stay connected so I just gave up on it. I would try to update an app over 10MB and it would take like 2 hours of disconnecting and reconnecting just to download it. But none of the 2.x's or 3.0's fixed it, maybe slightly better but never fixed it. My 3GS is perfect and never disconnects, so maybe my 3G problem was just hardware.

Makes you wonder if there was a slight hardware change during production, and that is why some people are opposite in their problems to others.

not sure if this has to do with 3.1 or not but its a bug. i had just sent a text and the bar at the top that shows u, it almost done sending and i fliped my silent switch and it restarted my phone to the Apple logo. and it seemed like a longer start up

I just tried it and I couldn't reproduce it. Are you saying if you flip the silent switch before the text completes sending...it will restart your phone?

Could be a fluke...can you make it do it again?

 

[fsas06]

I'm not sure if I could do it again, but it only happeneded once and I'm not sure if it has to do with the beta, or what reall caused my phone to restart when I hit the silent switch.

I agree with Chrismmm 100%. I'm dying to get 3.1 and hope it will address some of the bugs. But why screw with 3.1 beta? I know how crazed we all are for the next slightly new update, but in this case, logic dictates waithing for 3.1 final.

 

[2white2fight]

sometimes when i send text, it the sending bar will almost make it and then it will just stop and sit there. I hard reset my phone and fixed it but that must get annoying after while to do like on 3.0 betas
