9.3.2 Beta 3 Bug Fixes, Improvements, Issues

[6836838]

This geek bench multi core score is about 300 less than the previous beta. This should mean better battery life but not sure yet

You did this after indexing?

I find myself wondering why I read through all of the comments here.

In a thread about BETA SOFTWARE, people are complaining that it's not up to GM standards. That's the entire point of the beta program; to find problems, submit feedback, and have the problems ironed out for the final release.

And all this "Apple is doomed" garbage has been spouted for 3+ years, and they're still doing fine. If you're worried about the ship sinking, feel free to jump into the ocean and find something better.

Anyway, stuttering seems to be improved (iPhone 6, iPad Air 2). Way too early to tell about battery life. So far, I haven't found anything strange or broken. All in all, it's a mostly solid build.

That's funny because I remember 9.1 being stuttery during beta and people said this exact same thing about how there wasn't a reason to complain. Then the general release of 9.1 came out and it was the same garbage- beta quality stutters for the public.

Just a month ago, 9.3 GM managed to screw up the first thing that the phone does after even doing an update, which is the setup process and activating. "It's only a beta!!!!!"

Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), I can't attest to setup issue. I've only had one (during the 7.*.* block) that ever had an issue.

Issues are generally pretty split among the posters here. Some have them, some don't. Some love the GMs, others don't. There is a variability among devices, usage types, carriers, apps installed, etc. that will cause any number of issues for people.

I guess what I'm getting at is, submit feedback. Not just once. Keep submitting until it's fixed.

Anyone else not seeing the stock watch apps icons on the app layout screen?

Reboot your watch. I had the same issue and a reboot fixed it.

I'm pretty sure quite a few people weren't impressed with the performance of the last GM release either.

As for "Apple is doomed", well no, obviously not. But they are definitely slacking recently, lacking the flair, perfectionism and drive of old and now it's starting to show in their sales - some say the market is stagnating but I notice Samsung's share is going UP, they also seem to be overtaking Apple in terms of design and innovation in their products - I expect the two points are linked.

Ugh. Feel uncomfortable to see so many "blank app" icons gathered altogether.

In fact, all of the pre-iOS 9.3 releases felt like Alphas.

how to update to 9.3.2 ?

 

[Makale.Helvetia]

not much frame drops as on beta 2, very rare, but not fluid as 9.3.1, but a useable beta.

how to update to 9.3.2 ?

For a developer beta, throw $99 to apple, and enrol developer program. Then you will be able to get one.
For a public beta, follow this link and you will be able to get it, for free:
https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

Note: developer beta will be released before public beta. Say if you see iOS 9.3.3 beta 1 out today, but you enrol public beta program, then you will only see such beta after 1 or 2 days. If you enrol developer program, then you will see it today. However, other than release time, nothing is really different. Maybe, as a public tester, you will see that feedback assistant.
(Disclaimer: "iOS 9.3.3 beta 1" may or may not exist at all. This version number is for demonstration purpose only.)

Just Download the 9.3.2 IPSW( Google helps) and install it. You don't need the Apple Developer program!

Seems like being part of the public beta is simpler.

itune can connect ios 9.3.2?

Lol, sales drop from 50b to 40b, the first drop in 5 years since TC and finally you get to be right that Apple is doomed?(sic)

Heads are not going to roll. Does Apple have the perfect lineup, of course not and they likely never will until the end of time. They are not going to make wholesale corrections, that's suicide. They are going to make minor adjustments along the way.

Oh i never said they were doomed. That's so you:Taking things your own way or off topic.

No, i said that some execs aren't gonna be happy and then are gonna do some adjustments. Apple is far from over, but unless the "innovation" is refreshed and the sales peak up again, those "adjustments" are gonna be "fire this guy and hire another", that's how business works. Hell, that's even close at how Jobs did his things.

-----
Now, i'm gonna say this:LAG EXISTS, PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE IS A FACT, SOFTWARE IS MUCH MORE BUGGY NOW WITH IVE.
>This is unrelated and i don't really mean it, but i know it drives you nuts every time someone posts about it...in almost every post...as stated by some users above

PS: Your typical structure of a LOL, a sarcasm, an occasional reaction and a few lines more personal than contributive is getting so so boring. You should really innovate!

itune can connect ios 9.3.2?

Yes. iTunes can. And sync contents.

 

[jonnyb098]

No, it's been there since my first 9.3 beta (B6). I've sent in several feedback reports. It's not a huge deal to me but I know how important it is to Apple to have a polished user interface.

Not sure how important it is to have a polished user interface anymore since theres even random animation stutters and frame drops on my iPad Pro 9.7 on 9.3.1. This has been an ongoing issue for all iPads and many iPhone 5/6 models for two years now.

I have little faith that Apple will ever make iOS as buttery smooth on ALL devices as it was years ago.

SJ is dead, please don't pretend to reach across the worlds. Even though you said probably you still don't know.

Yes Steve Jobs is dead.The current quarter HORRIBLE results are a reflection of that.It seems Steve's products have led the company as far as they possibly can.Now the Tim Cook Era really begins and we can see what he can do ON HIS own merit.If he fails to deliver there is only one way for the stock to go own and it will go down as 65% of Apple's profits are from a Steve Job creation

Wow, what is your reality where "only making" 40b is horrible (in one quarter)? Their market cap is $700b?

The TC era started with the 5s, Apple is into his era since 2013. We'll see where it goes.

 

[C DM]

So...is this thread about a particular beta version of iOS or some sort of general Apple business discussion?

 

[erio]

Anyone else having Do Not Disturb going bonkers? I have it on schedule and it never turned on. When I manually turn it on, it turns off instantly – either from Settings and Control Center.

 

[chekz0414]

Are those new to 9.3.2 or anything like that?

It's weird because this has been an issue since iOS 9.2, the workaround since iOS 9.3 though has been pull down on Spotlight (in landscape) and then try a 3D touch gesture on the icons again, and Viola! its back to 60fps smooth like it has been since 9.3 in portrait mode. I know 9.2 and below were all laggier in 3D Touch menus on the 6s Plus due to poor optimization, but 9.3 improved things greatly.

Unfortunately, I'm with you on that. I guess I just didn't want to believe it. Such polish is one of the reasons I converted to iPhone after my wife mandated it in 2009
