Beta 4 as daily driver?

[nerdriot]

Thank you so much. For a moment I thought I had a different version because I saw on my son's photo settings there was an option to reduce picture quality size, but then I figured that only applies if uploading images to iCloud. Thanks again.

No problem!

PB3 is GM-quality for me. No bugs or freezes or app crashes that stick out in the past 24 hours.

Who do you think you are, the town sheriff? I've been here 5 years longer than you have, mate.

hahaha oh wow, clearly not long enough to know how threads work

Right, and since at least for iOS those public betas are basically the same ones that are developer betas it seems that asking those who are running developer betas as to how things are working out for them from a daily driver perspective would seem to be like something that would provide some useful information (once that information can be gathered).

Exactly. 'Developer beta' means nothing considering they're using the same build for public betas. But what do I know, he's been here 5 years longer after all.

Been using PB3 for 24 hours now on my iPhone 6s Plus and iPad Pro 9.7 and this build is VERY stable. Battery life is subpar, as to be expected on a beta build.

Zero issues so far.

I try not to run beta's but this one is 85% ready.

I ran developer preview 1 on my daily driver phone and what a mistake on my part. This build feels like a night and day difference.

No crashes on my 6S. B5 will the last beta before GM.

Yeah obviously because the beta is so stable for you it means that we are close to the GM release

Way off the mark I'm afraid.

Messages was faultless for me on Wed & Thur. Force Touch for messages didn't work at all on Friday. Did yesterday a bit , again not at all today.

With that kind of performance I can't see PB 3 being anywhere near the last. At least 2 more.

But is it actually faster or is it just the shorter animations making it feel faster??

Looks like 9.3.3 still takes the cake for fastest initial load time but I'm thinking switching between apps that are already loaded into memory may be faster on iOS 10.

Pointless video it seems to me. Phones not configured the same. Whether you press exactly the same time with each finger (clearly not several times) matters. Whats with the unplugging cables deal? Did the video change?

Anyone have an Apple Watch and tried using Bluetooth audio? I have read that the combination of an Apple Watch and Bluetooth headphones doesn't work well.

I use both, and it seems fine for me. I have had a couple of dropped calls while using a BT headset, but no issues with my AW.

Numerous reports of cell signal dropping on PB3. Are you saying you don't have that issue (with calls, etc)

 

[gh2k]

Well I just tried downloading it and I am on my way back to 9.3.4. Seems like the Bluetooth issues are still there. Perhaps in PB4 it will get better.

What BT issues are you referring to? And what types of devices are you working with?

I am using a 128GB 6s+ with my made for iphone hearing aids. You can kind of stream music but phone calls don't work. I tried with some older beats wireless headphones too and was getting the same result. Both work fine on 9.x but on 10 it is static city. I tried soft reset and that didn't help. Back on 9.3.4 everything works again. From what I have read there are lots of bluetooth issues with 10.

Interesting. I have held off on iOS10 (1st time in a long time). Glad I have now. Not very interested in the new iMessage stuff and not a fan of the new lock screen items (its locked for a reason) even thou I'm sure can turn off. Anyway for whatever reason 10 has not intriged me so far so not really up for these types of issues just to have the other stuff.Thanks

So I have been playing with Bluetooth more using my iPad and I did a reset network settings and it seems I can stream over Bluetooth fairly well with the iPad. I wonder if it is just the phone trying to use 2 BTLE connections at once that throws it for a loop? I didn't try to reset network settings on my iPhone before I went back to 9.3.4, I did try to delete and re-pair stuff but no luck. I will stay with 9 for a while and perhaps try PB4 when it is available.

Definitely in agreement with you on this one.

Safari Reading List is completely broken (on the iPad at least). Marking as read crashes Safari, advancing to the next article doesn't work, bunch of empty cells in the list.

 

[VSMacOne]

I've had every beta on my main iPhone and have not had significant issues. To each their own.

 

[pmii]

Honestly it has been absolutely fine for me since beta 1

 

[GIZBUG]

Looks like the carrier issue has been resolved in the most recent beta. Might be time to put it on the phone, along with WatchOS 3. Not many show stopper bugs from what I've read, and most of the apps seem to be working.
