For the record, I hate when people ask a question and then say "quote me" so they get tagged. If you care enough to ask a question, follow along to see if you get an answer. It's not a big thing but...

Ok so battery life still excellent with beta 7....

But every single bug from beta 1 appears to be back. (Messages won't send randomly, "no internet connection " calls failed immediately when dialed and have full connection. UI issues) amongst other issues.

7+ using beta since ios10

I'm glad you mentioned that. I've been seeing this problem with my iPhone 6s plus. It started with iOS 9.something.

I'll be using an app, as normal, in portrait mode and, when I return to the Home Screen, it suddenly rotates to landscape for NO reason.
Having same issue with 7+ here. Seems like phone goes landscape less but still happens when putting phone down flat.

I keep seeing this, "that battery life on beta 6 was incredible". Its so weird to me that others are having that experience when beta 6 was absolutely horrible for myself. Beta 5 and beta 7 have been the best battery life I have seen with my 7Plus and beta 6 was one of the worst builds for battery life.

Weird that it's proving to be the complete opposite for me. So far, beta 7 is looking just as bad as beta 5 was. I had beta 6 running all day today from morning till late afternoon and had only gone down 30%. Installed beta 7 and (not accounting for the percentage lost from doing the install) 4 hours later my battery had dropped almost 50%. :/

So with beta 6, over the course of 8 hours, I lost 30% battery. Beta 7, over the course of 4 hours, I lost nearly 50%. Same usage, too. Right off the bat I could tell that beta 5 and beta 7 both made standby time completely tank for me. Not sure what caused it, but I'm hoping it doesn't last because my battery on beta 6 was absolutely phenomenal.

Beta 5 and 7 are my best ones, 4 was meh and 6 was horrendous. That is so weird. Its truly mind-boggling how that happens. Its the same code. But the install for some reason just doesn't prove to be the same.

Guys noob question:

i have a 6s that has the battery shut down issue (not eligible to replacement).

Apple has said that next week they will release a tool to help with the issue.

My question is, do I keep downloading betas? Will I be able to download the ios version that has the battery tool next week or am I locked out since I run in beta software?

Anyone else got an issue where you try to make an outgoing call and the UI says calling but nothing happens. Then either reboot or Airplane mode on/off and try again and it works?

I've tried reset network settings. UK on O2

Yeah I truly don't understand it either. Makes no sense. I'm hoping with a nice full charge it'll reset back to beta 6 levels for me today.

Omg. Please be true

Sounds the same to me. :/

Happens every once in a while, but I rarely talk on the phone (and when I do I usually do FaceTime audio since it's so much clearer) so I can't say for sure whether it's a bug or bad service that causes it.

Still no Comcast unfortunately.

Not sure if it's related, but earlier today i apparently didn't receive dozens of messages (only SMS, iMessages were received properly).

The only reason I knew this even occurred is because suddenly, at about 2am, my phone started buzzing incessantly as all SMS messages that had been sent to me from noontime yesterday until 2am today began flooding in all at once.

No idea what caused it, but one thing I noticed was that all of the timestamps for those missed messages were all intact. It was as if my phone had received them, but didn't alert me or show the messages in the Messages app until 12+ hours later. Super weird.

Running the PB on a 7+. Had this issue starting with last beta. I'm randomly having an issue where the haptic feedback while using 3D Touch is delayed after using the feature. At the same time, if I 3D Touch the left of the screen to go into multitasking, it works as intended but I get no haptic feedback at all. Restarting my phone solves this issue and then it usually happens again hours later.

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my unit or if it's a beta bug. I know I should probably go back down to a stable release and see if this is happening but that seems very annoying to do. Anyone else having this issue?

I too really hope the volume is louder. I won't know personally until I've had a chance to workout with music via Bluetooth, can anyone else confirm?

I was unable to restore my 10.2 backup to 10.1.1
That's typically how it works as an older iOS version doesn't know anything about a newer one.

You'll be able to install the latest version.

I'll have to test it tomorrow when I get some extended time away from the charger.

It happened again, but only after about an hour and a half, and only after the battery went below 90%.

I remember one time I downgraded from 9,3 beta to 9.2 or something like that.

On my 7 Plus, plugging in Lightning EarPods seems to make the device think it's connected to a charger. Whenever I plug the EarPods in, the usage and standby numbers always revert back to dashes.

Question: when you AirPlay something like a movie from iTunes, does the movie stream over the WiFi network from the device, or is the data pulled down directly to the Apple TV?

Streams over the wifi of the device I think. iPhone notified me that i must wait until movie is fully downloaded before doing Airplay to apple tv.
