- AnthonyJr, on 10/11/2007, -4/+85Waiting patiently for a new firmware update...
Patiently...
GIVE ME IT NOW! =X - newstart, on 10/11/2007, -7/+58LOL..... who needs quality assurance engineers and software testers when you have other websites giving you a detailed bug sheet lol!!
I can imagine what would be happening in Apple's quality assurance department right now
Steve Jobs to engineers: "Maybe we should hire the guys at applehound.com next time" - jklyon, on 10/11/2007, -6/+57I wonder if it will be just like Jobs said in his first iPhone keynote. Something about how other phones are stuck with plastic keyboards and about how the iPhone can be updated and changed and adapted and upgraded. Like say, the firmware update gives it a landscape keyboard, MMS options, etc.
? - consonance, on 10/11/2007, -10/+45"iPhone v1.0 Bugs"
Translation: "BREAKING: SOFTWARE HAS BUGS!!!!!" - Waskonator, on 10/11/2007, -6/+34Some of these are a bit "Knit-picky", as it were. Most are a preference, rather than actual bugs. I'm not ALL for the iPhone, or all for bashing either. I don't own one, on purpose. Some things will be fixed in time, and I will make my new decision at that point. Some of you people need to realize that, even though it is a great idea iPod+phone, its not the Messiah of smartphones. I don't think it was ever supposed to be. It was just supposed to give the UI of a redesigned iPod and be tethered to a cell phone. Just like any other phone, it doesn't do everything. And if it doesn't do what you need it to do, get a different phone. And then buy the new iPod when they make it touch screen. Is that so hard to understand?
- bpapa, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29Yes, Apple prioritizes bugs based on number of people digging.
- salmonmoose, on 10/11/2007, -8/+31NO! Mark it as lame so everyone gets stuck with them!
- r3zonance, on 10/11/2007, -8/+31Really, can you update the plastic (physical) keyboard of a a treo/blackberry with a firmware update?
You kind of missed that point didn't you? - tcquad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24"Web pages do not remain loaded after powering off the iPhone."
Also reproducible on my iMac. - undersky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19One more:
While listening to iPod in the background when browsing webpage, some webpages will cause the iPod to crash.
For example, if you double-tap to zoom into the central part of digg.com home page, the iPod will play the music fine.
If you however double-tap to zoom into the Top Ten list part of digg.com (the right 1/4 of the page), the iPod will crash. This happens every time and not isolated to digg.com, but various different webpages that contain more complex code. - R0CKY, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19There are not 68 bugs on that page.
"While we interpret the following items as bugs, it is possible that the results are in line with the Apple iPhone User Interface design specifications." - totorototoro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+141) I'm glad they stuck with "reproducible" issues only...to minimize the "mine doesn't do that" outcries
2) My bug list is much shorter but more serious:
a) Safari crashes. A lot. I've even done a complete Restore and it still crashes.
b) iPod music crashes when you browse Safari. A lot. The music doesn't just stop-the actual app crashes out completely.
c) Did I mention Safari crashes? :p
On a more positive note...its the best iPod I've ever owned. (Don't ask how many I own :( ) I find it difficult to go back to the old scroll wheel navigation now.
edit: oh, one thing they mentioned..about the music pausing when the headphones are disconnected...this is a valuable feature, not a bug...uh, IMHO of course :p Because the speaker is pretty loud, and I don't want my music blaring out of them if I accidentally pull out the headphone jack. - austee007, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18All of the UI usability "bugs" are not bugs at all but just things the guy who wrote the list decided he really didn't like because it didn't seem consistent with the rest of the interface. If you take out all of those the list is quite diminished in size.
- hackntossh, on 08/27/2008, -1/+14#69: It breaks when you hit it whit a sledge hammer. Worst design ever...
- r3zonance, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14It's not about discovering new letters. Wth a firmware update to a software keyboard, you can move around keys. You can't do that with a physical keyboard was my point.
- jthomp, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11I don't call most of these bugs.
For instance: "The phone vibrates when switched to silent mode (the Ring/Silent switch is located on the side of the iPhone), but does not provide audible feedback when exiting silent mode. The expected result would be a short notification beep when switching to an audible mode."
That's ridiculous. That's not a bug. That's what someone "expected" to happen but didn't. Personally, I don't want it to beep when I switch it back. Its easy to tell the phone is back in normal mode. I've experienced little odd things about my iPhone but none of them have been so bad that I'd call them bugs. Their just little annoyances that will most likely be fixed in the next firmware update. - MacParrot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9As compared to what? Blindly slamming Apple without knowing or using their products like you do? I rarely comment on Linux and Microsoft topics. Know why? I don't use them at home (though I am chained to an XP machine at work) and therefore don't spew hatred based on products I don't prefer.
I don't have a problem with people giving Apple a hard time based on real issues. But many here on digg just slam the company because they don't use their products and must be crap by association. Or the "I'm an anti-fanboy fanboy" nonsense. Check the game console posts. Filled with PS3 vs Wii vs Xbox users who hate everyone that doesn't use what they prefer and are quite vocal about real and imagined flaws in competing products.
After one of my recent posts on a Mac topic, someone came back with "Yeah, but you're just an Apple fanboy because all you digg are Mac posts." Gee, I use Apple products, I'm interested in Apple news, and I digg a lot of Apple posts. I wonder why I only seem to digg Mac and Apple posts? It is a mystery. On the same token, I don't go into MS and Linux posts slamming those platforms. You're welcome to go into ANY thread I've commented on and you'll see that I don't. I don't use them and don't typically comment on those companies in a negative light. - taintedzodiac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Oh, an Apple product's lifecycle doesn't constrain its diggability.
Haven't you noticed that we still get posts about the Newton more often than you'd expect? - SupaFupa, on 10/11/2007, -16/+24Has apple discovered new letters? Whats to update on a keyboard? Oh wait, I see the problem, Im not letting steve jobs think for me. Carry on.
- cloudyprison, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Ah, good old 'Breaking:'. It's the new cruise control to cool.
- iChuckles, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Ha! I bet Apple already knows about all these bugs. I also bet that there are many many more. Plus there is always an unknown amount of bugs in all software.
My point is that the list isn't surprising, especially for a 1.0 product. - streak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Agreed, some personal preferences are expressed in the list. Example: I happen to like the fact that switching the ringer off silent mode doesn't create a beep. I prefer it this way, because I don't like unnecessary beeps polluting the environment, disturbing my conversation, or calling attention to the fact that I have an electronic device stashed in my pocket.
- MacParrot, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Meh...All software from almost anyone has bugs. While not all these can actually be considered legitimate software defects, I'm sure Apple will fix these and other defects in a future update. I won't necessarily know since I didn't by one (I never buy first gen products from Apple or anyone)
- Zanneth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Some of these are actually features that were purposefully included in the software. For example, the very last one about how when you unplug your headphones, the music pauses. That's actually a feature that has been around on iPods for quite some time, and I actually quite enjoy it! Also, the one right above that about how the album artwork is shown momentarily on the upper-right corner, I think that was intentional too, because it shows you that you can flip the artwork around to see the track list on the other side.
Other than that, a lot of these are very minor inconsistencies that appear on the iPhone, but the others are indeed very annoying bugs and I hope Apple fixes them soon. - poly915, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6How about a general design flaw list that starts with "No To-Do List"?
- Ishtumba, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9I have to say.. for a brand new framework, I think having only 68 "bugs" is remarkable. I could easily name more than 68 bugs that have been in Windows Mobiles for a decade.
- Username222, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7It really depends on how long until Apple releases the next thing for the Apple fanboys to drool over...
- timusca, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Holy *****, people... nobody asked you to RTFA. If it says iPhone, ignore it. Its easy.
- kingfoot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5WHAT HAPPENED TO CAPS LOCK!?
- DD00, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The only bug that really bugs me is when you pick all your albums under one artists. Then you choose to play the songs with shuffle, it will pick one song to start with and only shuffle the album it is on. It won't shuffle all albums. That is a real problem, screw all the buttons in the wrong place!
- DaffyDuck, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I think of it as more of a feature. It's called the "don't bug me with your crappy Beyonce ringtone" feature.
- andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6The point is, with one interface to work with - one that's limited only by what software can make it do - the possibilities are endless. They could add/change almost anything on any existing device. The fact that you regularly connect this phone to a computer just makes it easier.
- pevensen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6What?!?! A 1.0 product has bugs!??!?
- streak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It would be nice to have personal control over interface behaviors.
- bpapa, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8I'll have to say, I am pretty shocked that the thing is over two weeks old now and we haven't gotten an update yet. I figured we'd get one within days.
- anakin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4He missed one. If you're using a GMail partnered account (GMail hosting for your domain) when the account is synced over your login is changed from user@foo.com to user@foo.com@gmail.com It's an automatic change that can not be edited and prevents syncing of email.
- streak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3No problem here.
- ttkgeek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yeah, and the iPhone picks up sent mail in your inbox for some reason. Not Apple's fault though. It happens on my PC as well.
- wildsnake, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32.0, 3.0 will have bugs too.
- ttkgeek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Rumors mentioned that it was supposed to be released by the end of this month. It was one of those "I talked with the Apple marketing guy inside a train" rumors though unfortunately.
- UCFartstudntJON, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5If I've learned anything from anything computer related it is that first generation stuff is really nothing more than the public beta. Thanks to all of you who gave up your cash early so that others might gain bug-free electronics.
- hotdamn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4congratulations. you are so goddamn witty.
- sorahn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3if you slide between multiple weather widgets (so you see the left side of one, and the right side of the other) and hold it there, then touch with another finger, it will stay there. i tried it with other things that slide, and it seems only happen with weather
- SlantyEyes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You're Dumb.
- ih8apple, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Im glad to see that this is happening to other people as well (Well, not glad...) Because i thought it was something wrong with just mine.
- nullcodes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Where is the ` key? It has ' but not ` (the tick in the tilde ~ key). Since there is no cut & paste I cant even work around it.
- iChuckles, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Almost? Almost! No, ALL software is riddled with bugs.
- ElliotShoe, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4if I bought a 600 dollar phone, I would want my % signs all centered
- adamchristopher, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2another one that is stupid:
Other Bug/Has Workaround Attempting to pause an MP3 launched from a web page such as DL.TV by clicking the iPhone stereo headset mic button once will result in a track from the iPod library starting. To reproduce, plug an iPhone stereo headset in to the headset jack -> tap the 'Safari' icon on the home screen -> tap the address bar -> enter the following URL in the top address textbox 'http://dl.tv' -> tap the 'Go' button in the lower right corner of the keyboard -> zoom in to the main content area -> select the 'MP3 (Audio Only) link that appears next to the latest episode. A QuickTime player will load and begin playing the MP3 file. Attempt to pause the audio playback by clicking the mic button once. Technically the MP3 stops but only to start playing a track from the iPod application. The expected result is to pause the currently playing media.
so my laptop has a bug because when i am playing something of the internet and push the play/pause button, it doesnt stop it? - l0rdn1k0n, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You're welcome. I'm just glad I have a warranty that covers accidents, so I can "accidentally" break the 1st gen and get the new one before Christmas ^_^
