 I had the hilarious thought that, maybe, just maybe, the icon number was hard coded to change according to California time but I’ve set my region to Germany and it still said 26. Edit: Wait, it is the 26th in California right now. They are 9 hours back from right now, did you by chance make that screenshot before 9h today? Edit 2: You said you sent feedback. Does that mean you’re using the iPadOS beta? I deleted my beta profile and pulled 13.1 from Settings fwiw. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Sep 26, 2019 |

I checked and I took that screenshot at 11:00 AM apparently. Had an idea, checked my phone and the widget there is showing the correct date, but the iPad was still showing the 25th, so I rebooted just now... and that fixed it. Weird.  At least it's solved now! Sorry for the hubbub.Regarding the feedback thing: No, I'm not on any beta this time around and haven't ever been on said iPad. I just googled around and found an Apple site that allowed to give feedback on products. Someone on SA mentioned you should give feedback if you find bugs and can't solve them, so that's what I did. the site in question: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Arcade is cool and there seems to be a ton of quality games on there but I wish they wouldn't all steal audio focus.

Grindstone not only steals audio focus when you start it up but it is constantly stealing it back. I deleted it because of this so I dunno if they fixed it but it was literally impossible to listen to anything other than the game music.

I’m using the mouse on iPad, and liking it a lot, except my scroll wheel is inverted. Is there a way to flip this or is that just the way it’s gonna be?

Speaking of games and audio, devs need to come to an agreement on what controls sound effects: the volume slider or the silence button.

Thats how scrolling works on Macs, altho changeable on them. I actually use reversed on Windows now because I'm just use to it. It's honestly the LOGICAL way scrolling would work.

I couldn't get scrolling to work with my Magic Mouse when I paired it with my iPad Pro. Is that just how it is or was that a problem on my end?

Does anyone have wisdom on preventing battery drain on the 10.5” pro? It will go from full to empty in less than three hours, even with the screen totally off. Google-fu is weak on this, just suggests rebooting. I even tried Apple support, who did a remote battery diagnostic and proclaimed the device totally fine. When I try to use the thing when not plugged in, I get 1-4 hours from 100% to dead.

I have the same problem although not 1-4 hours but yeah my 10.5 loving runs the battery down fiercely, worse if the pencil and keyboard are going. I’ve done everything I can including wipe and reset. I just live with it now, Genius Bar diagnostic on the battery was fine so

It probably isn't a single app for you but it took me a loonnnngggg time to discover that, once opened, iMPC Pro (a music production app) would sit happily burning the battery in the background unless I force quit it every single time.

Am I missing something or can you not select a wifi network from the pulldown menu in ios12? Do you have to go into settings every time? I travel for work and am constantly connecting to new networks, its not exactly a huge deal but I feel like I have to be missing something

It does that multi-device thing with Bluetooth and/or a dongle. It has no dongle storage though. It’s also like, a normal size mouse.

What's funny is that while I had the same complaint about Bluetooth devices, it's actually MORE effort to do it the new way than it is to go settings -> bluetooth Old way: Settings (one input), Bluetooth (two inputs), device select (three inputs) New way: Swipe down (one input), long press bluetooth (two inputs), long press bluetooth (three inputs), select device (four inputs) I think it just feels less clunky because you're not launching an app to do it.

I’m a fan of the new setup although I got around it before by asking Siri to open wifi or Bluetooth settings directly. Wifi in iOS has always been something of a shitshow for me since it flat out refuses to switch networks when it should. It became less frustrating to just rename all the APs separately and manually switch.

Pretty bummed with ios13 so far. I was doing a simple google search and it froze up my safari browser. This is kind of odd but not that big a deal, so I force closed it. Well it purged all of my open tabs, something that has never happened to me in a decade of iPad ownership. I had some stuff in there I really wanted, so I did an iCloud restore, but that restored everything except my fuckin tabs.

But just to make sure, could it have just opened a new safari window? Imo it’s not obvious when it happens unless you tap the safari dock icon when safari is on the screen. Edit: oh you did a restore, that almost assuredly cleared them. But there’s still a history somewhere probably, esp if you iCloud keep track of tabs.

I’m not sure how I feel about the new window management. On one hand, having that functionality is awesome and I use it regularly now. On the other hand, the gestures and everything feel really unintuitive and hard to learn. Sometimes I just want MacOS traffic lights, even if they probably wouldn’t make sense on an iPad screen. Also, is there any way to open an app to the side if it isn’t already in the dock? It feels really awkward to close an app, open the 2nd app, close that app, open the first app, and then swipe to put the 2nd app to the side.

The restore was from yesterday’s backup, so I don’t know why I didn’t get my tabs as of yesterday. That’s what happens every other time I restore an apple product. I’m pretty sure it didn’t open a new window. It froze, I force closed it (using the home button, not a gesture) and then reopened the browser from the home screen with a single tap.

I just tried to repeat the process and no way there was multiple windows. When there are multiples, doing the entries I did on-screen pushes away all the other active apps and gives you a presentation of only safari instances. That’s not what I saw before. I was able to get the iPad to force close all my tabs again, though, just by clicking around normally. It didn’t open a second window, it fully closed my old one and delivered me a blank one as my only active instance. This time I clicked “reopen closed windows” in the top right and my previous instance was still alive there. I guess it would have been there before too, if I hadn’t restored. But it was definitely closed out which is something I did not do, either time. I still don’t understand why a restore wouldn’t put me back in my browser state from yesterday evening. That’s the whole point of a restore. Edit - yea, to do a recovery you have to open the app manager, then tap safari again, this shows you any active instances. Then you have to click the little “restore closed windows” in the top right and find what you actually want in there. I am able to repeat this. I have no idea why my primary window is being deposited into this closed window area, or why this status would reach backwards in time to a prior restore point. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. Edit2 - ok I guess what I did was force close the app intentionally because of the freeze, and then when I opened Safari again, it opened a new window instead of restoring my instance. I get that now. That’s really bad UI design IMO, there should be separate actions for force closing the app and closing one instance of the app. And if there are no active instances, it should restore to your last one instead of giving you a blank slate. At least now I get that. I still feel like a restore should have solved my problem. And if safari tabs are going to be kept in some volatile state outside the normal restore process, then my recently closed windows should be there too! That little area was blank after a restore. Edit3 - so if I close all instances of safari... if I tap safari from the home screen, it actually does restore my old window. But if I close all instances of safari and then tap safari from the open app carousel, it opens a blank window and deposits my last session into the closed window area. Stupid. Edit4 - I am actually able to get both the “new window” and “last instance” behavior when tapping safari from the open app carousel after closing all instances of safari. I’m doing exactly the same thing every time and getting both results at about a 70-30 split. AdmiralViscen fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Oct 2, 2019 |

I do, sometimes. Like, I want to order some additional school photos for my kid but I don’t need that time-sensitive portal clogging up my bookmarks. But I don’t want to have to go remember to delete it from my bookmarks, either. Maybe I want to do it in a couple of days. It’s kind of what tabs are for. Tab management kind of sucks in general now. If I want to re-sort a tab it will just turn into this popover thing that floats around on my screen. I know how to turn it into a split view but how do I just make it a tab again? You need to hold the tab for 2 seconds to re-sort it but if you accidentally hold it for 3 seconds then it turns into this other thing. Edit - Actually I guess this floating thing is invoked by moving your finger a bit too high and dropping the tab onto the upper bar instead of into the tab row? It’s easy to do and I can’t figure out how to put it back. Or even to close it. It seems like I can close it by docking it down at the bottom, going back to the home screen, and clicking safari again? What if I want to open Safari but I don’t want to close it lol. I feel like my grandma. Oh and messing around with this little pop-over thing, even on a plain google.com window, forces all my tabs to reload even though I have an iPad Pro 10.5. Does anyone have a video that explains what this thing is supposed to be doing for me? AdmiralViscen fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Oct 2, 2019 |
