iOS 10.1 Developer Beta 3 Changes, Bugs, and Fixes

[A MacBook lover]

I respect that it doesn't bother you, but to flat out say that there is absolutely no difference is just ignorant. The videos are side by side in SLOW MOTION that CLEARLY shows the difference. I also outlined the difference by explaining exactly what's happening.

The reason this glitch bothers me is because my other iOS devices have this nice smooth, evenly paced, transition to the home screen, while the iPhone 7 (fastest iOS device right now) looks like it can't display the transition correctly and it throws off my brain. It's not consistent either. If you open an app and quickly close it, you get a different animation than when you open an app, wait a few seconds, then close it.

I get that it's done on purpose so that apps will respond to the home button faster, but I wish they could clean it up so that it transitioned more smoothly to the home screen and make it so the wallpaper zooms at the same rate as everything else.

If they did that, I think I'd be okay. It's that extra animation of the wallpaper that kills me. It look disjointed.

There is a difference alright.

1) Watch the calendar icon. The new version seems to 'morph' a bit in the bottom of the icon. The older animation just shrinks regular.

2) Watch the wallpaper to the top left of the calendar. The new animation almost seems like the wallpaper is stretching.

Could this be intentional?

Third-party media controls have been fixed.

What was wrong with them?

What was wrong with them?

Sorry, the controls were fine, it was the interface. No numbers were being displayed, instead "-" was shown.

I think that the bug with the notifications from 3th party apps like WhatsApp is fixed in PB3.. So far no problems with it.

Edit: bug still present on PB3 and iMessage is having trouble with sending and receiving messages..

iPhone 7+ btw

ios version 10.0.3 or 10.1 is expected?

Media Pause via Lighting from App Radio now works.

In prior versions of iOS 10, turning off the radio would leave the phone playing (silently) until the lightning connection was removed which would then pause the playing media (i.e. Sirius XM.)

In Beta 3, the media playback now pauses when the radio is turned off.

Can you elaborate on this one? I'd like to see if I also have it

In the now playing screen, theres the airplay button in the middle and the ... on the right. On the left side there is nothing, but if you press over there (symmetrical to the right button, where the left should be), it brings up a menu to delete songs. Invisible button.

Yes.

Has the proximity sensor issue in the phone app been fixed?

I'm on 10.1B2 and screen does not light up when I remove the phone from my ear. Have to click the home button so I can see the screen and use the dial pad.

Only happens directly after call is engaged. Once I've clicked the home button once then the proximity sensor works and the screen turns on if I remove the phone from my ear

I am still getting the delay. Mine is about 2 secs.

Anyone having email notifications issues? No issue with my Air 2, but my 7Plus won't push email notifications.

But update to battery:

3hr35min usage, 6hr43min standby, 78% remaining on my 7Plus. Seems roughly the same as 10.0.2, but I had zero battery issues with 10.0.2.

Are you happy overall with the beta?

The slider for fast forwarding video is working in this beta it's been missing when playing video in the last 2 betas.

Also in Email there is still no way to Mark All messages so mass deletes are a pain.

Are you happy overall with the beta?

I'm actually very concerned with the beta. Charged my phone to 100% last night and unplugged it like I normal do. After 9 hours I was down to 91% and had 6 hours of usage. This is after doing a hard reset after indexing completed I have no idea whats running in the background.

Most of us are adults here, can we please behave as such?

91% after 6 hours of usage is pretty amazing actually. I'm usually down to 40% at that point.

No, this was all 'stand by' usage. I didn't touch the phone once. So something is running in the background with all apps closed.

Normally I wake up with 100% and no more than 30 minutes of background usage.

who else still has an graphical error (not every time , but very often) when pulling down NC and unread notications are displayed (on home screen) as it was described in earlier beta versions? i am using smallest font size as my default text size and i am using an iPhone 6s+.

Decided to go for it on my iPhone 7 Plus: upgraded from 10.0.1 to 10.1 Public Beta 3. Holy smokes, this thing is fast. The entire installation process took maybe 10 minutes! No issues so far.

Yep, the new iPhones have very fast flash storage which means fast updates, since the updates mainly involve copying data around on the flash.

I started the update at lunch and when walking back to my building decided to see how far along it was and it was done, far sooner than I've ever seen an update finish before, on my 7 Plus.

So far today has not been as good as beta 2, but I usually let the phone go all the way to 1% and recharge completely. I'll do that today and see if it bounces back. Beta 2 was the best battery life I've had in a while!

Battery horrible on this beta. 1.5h on homescreen with 3h usage (mostly music listening) and 4h standby. Battery at 33%!

 

[mattburley7]

ios version 10.0.3 or 10.1 is expected?

probably 10.1

i think we are too close to release for a iOS 10.0.3 update. 10.1 should go public before the end of the month...

Something is definitely running in the background. Downloading Xcode now to track CPU usage.

Yep don't have Xcode now but @100% according to a CPU app after closing down all apps.

I downgraded to 10.0.2 via option+update, but my phone is all spazzed out. Luckily there is the Activity Decipher tool. Restoring as new to 10.0.2 now. What a mess.

Clearly something wrong with beta 3, as I've heard nothing but good things about beta 2.

Thanks, I do have it as well then. Odd bug
