You're not alone in your frustration, it's infuriating! I'm still on a 4s so that screen space is valuable.

iOS 9: More than meets the eye
- Thread starter Maninthemirror
- Start date
I just noticed the redesigned video player in the Photos app. The bar with the thumbnails you can use to go to a specific position in the video is now at the bottom of the screen. And the same bar now displays thumbnails of all videos and pictures in your library. It's one long horizontal list.
I don't really like this. To me, searching for a specific video/picture is something different than searching for a specific moment within a video. These tasks shouldn't be handled by the same UI element. But let's see, maybe I'll get used to it.

I don't want to disable Apple Music, I set it to offline only most of the time (because I'm in and out of signal areas and often have it on shuffle all) and I don't need to be told that's what it's set to. :'(
Basically, the option to acknowledge that message is all I want.
So I updated the iPad 3 and it works well so far. Better than iOS 8 imho.
BUT, wtf can't I use content blockers for Safari with it?
Probably too slow to handle it I would imagine.

64 bit devices only for content blockers. Someone explained the technical reason for it.

Use Weblock. It works for all apps (like Youtube), but only on wifi, though that's not an issue for the iPad.
That's disappointing, as it improves performance...
I will take a look at Weblock, thanks for the tip.

By going on the second screenshot, he's achieving this by playing music in the background. iOS counts audio playback in the background as "Usage" and not standby usage since the CPU is actually doing some processing. This in turn can inflate your usage and make it seem like the battery can last on almost unrealistic levels.
Your usage seems similar to mine, but as of right now, I'm averaging about 9 hours usage about every 24 hours of standby on iOS 9. Keep in mind that I have Personal Hotspit turned on most of the day, so I don't know if that inflates it as much as music playback, but from what I've seen it doesn't.
So, you usage seems fine. There's no secret settings that will help you get this magical battery life that will last you days, unless you barely use your phone.

Anyone noticing a volume bug in iOS 9 when using bluetooth headsets? Volume is low despite the volume slider being maxxed out in the music app. Had to restart my device to get it back to normal.
Yes. And be careful, sometimes a notification can make the volume return to normal. If you have the bar maxed out, it will hurt your ears

I was wondering why it was so dang quiet when I was listening in the car. Had to finally connect it to the AUX via the headphone jack. Although even then it was like it was still connected because it would be loud / soft / loud / soft randomly. I had to turn delete the BT profile for it to stop.
I make my own with iTunes: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/02/make-free-ringtone-iphone_n_5901540.html
Basically, rename an .m4a (AAC) file to .m4r and then when you add that to iTunes it's recognized and added as a ringtone. I just double-click the .m4r file and that adds it to the iTunes library.

Anyone else seeing the bug where the same app updates keep showing up in the App Store? I have some from A week ago that I know for sure I downloaded show up again.
Yeah, only minor bug fixes. It's just a ~ 35MB download.
I just got this bug after updating to 9.0.1 on my iPhone. Like 14 app updates that I downloaded a few days ago.
Didn't happen on my iPad though.

So far with my 6 and iOS 9 I've been having apps freeze on me. Sometimes it is to the point I can't even use the home button (I have to let it sit). Yes this has happen before on different iPhones and iOSs, but it has been happening a whole lot more since I updated. I guess I might try a new install, or wait to until I pick-up the 6s.
Ok I've had this issue on and off for years. It is like another app overtakes the volume control. Mostly all I have to do is force close Facebook, and the volume jumps back up. Try that or close any app that may have taken over your volume.
To be clear this happens to me even when not using bluetooh.

iPad 3 is the first one with the Retina display, yeah? I'm still on iOS 6 or 7--resisted installing because I didn't want to slow anything down. But you say everything runs okay?

Yes. There's a growing thread about it on MacRumors. Seems it's worldwide.

I got the same updates through iTunes too, so I imagine it's a problem on Apple's end rather than with iOS.
Its very smooth. Also much better than iOS 8.
Is it 9.0.1? Or has anyone got it on 9.0? If the latter them probably a serverside glitch?
Or maybe the update brings up the issue?
Have a 5s (32 gb)...I've had it for about a year and half
I updated to iOS 9 on Tuesday at about 5 am and I woke up this morning check my phone for messages. I used the finger print thing to unlock it and when I tried to open up an app nothing. The whole touch screen was not doing anything. Couldn't do swipes. Couldn't open any apps...wasn't registering at all. I could get that new circle in a square menu thing to pop up, buT it didn't really do a lot and could get that menu one you swipe up from the bottom, but it wouldn't let me turn on the flash light or nothing
Did a hard reset (could hit the power off button, but it wouldn't let me swipe right to shut it off regularly) and everything seems to be fine now, scared the crap out of me, and had thought my phone was a goner

I think that's the iPad 4.
No iPad 3 had the retina display but the guts similar of an iPad 2, this is why it was so gimped performance wise.
Just happened to me on iOS 9.0.
Also, can't check if iOS 9.0.1 is available because I'm getting an error message.
Something is fucked in Apple's servers.
This is not how you introduce an OS that supposedly is all about stability and performance.

No, it happened a few minutes before I update to 9.0.1
Could it be the app thinning? Though I didn't notice any difference in the free space of my device.
I just got the bug on 9.0 , then I immediately downloaded and updated to 9.0.1 and now don't see the updates in the App store after the reboot.

It happened to me on the 9.1 beta. The app update bug I mean.
On the lock screen? No, I get them on the search screen, apps that I have recently used. Is this what you mean?

That's usually when you're near a store that you have an app of like Best Buy, Walgreens, Starbucks etc. (the bottom left of the lock screen?)
I do when I plug in my earphones. It recommends the iPlayer Radio app to me on the bottom left. I don't know if it has other triggers.

Tried this. Doesn't work. In fact when you go back to settings it doesn't even show Apple Music as being enabled in the first place.
Weird. Worked for me.

There is a Notes App on OSX. I'm not sure if it's under just Applications or if they stuck it in Utilities but it's there.

But where are the files for Notes stores? That's the problem I'm having.
At WWDC they showed that apps can appear on the lockscreen purely based on usage patterns. I guess they just scrapped that?

They didn't, every time I get into my car in the morning the music app gets suggested, and the first app suggested when I turn on my iPad when I get up is the News app
