Hmmm I have a serious battery issue with beta 5 and earlier and was hoping 7 might fix it. Been sending data to Apple for a month on it.

Beta 7 finally fixed the keyboard lag when I use the English keyboard on my German iPhone 6 for multilingual typing.
N1 Apple.

Music (via Bluetooth) is definitely louder in this beta than previous ones. Hoping it stays that way.

Do you have a watch connected?

I'm looking for improvements in battery life with a watch connected on standby times.

Mine racks up hours of phantom usage with a watch connected o 10.1.1 and ruins standby times.

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

I restored to iOS 10.1.1 from a backup of 10.1.1 that had the profile installed. Now, beta 7 download is stuck at Update Requested.

I'm going to go with a yes. Bluetooth isn't like cellular, its not constantly searching for devices to pair to and its not constantly looking for a stronger signal.

"Turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS will prolong your battery
In and of itself, this is false. The only time these services actually drain your battery is if they are in use. So having Bluetooth turned on, when you're not using a Bluetooth device, isn't going to drain your battery any more than having Wi-Fi on when you're not accessing the network. Yes, they may pull an insignificant amount of energy from your battery, but they will not drain it over the course of a day. If you're really concerned about getting as much life as possible from your battery, dim your screen."

Which normally makes sense. Being this is a beta, there's no telling if his Bluetooth is constantly try to pair with a device or not. If turning Bluetooth off is saving him battery drain, that's a good sign something is going on. Now whether that's because of hardware or software, I can't answer.

It very well could be. I'm just saying dismissing it off hand, because that's not the expected behavior, isn't the way beta troubleshooting works. I'd recommend he forget every Bluetooth connection and re-pair them. That might fix his issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if the final version of iOS 10.2 is released tomorrow. Apple pushed out the TV provider settings to everyone last week, so it would make sense to give everyone the actual TV app on the typical day of the week when Apple releases new software.

Lockscreen notifications start overlapping with eachother when it fills up (able to scroll through). Super annoying.

Suggestion: Remove (forget) everything in your Bluetooth devices list. See if the battery drain problem goes away.

If it does, start re-pairing devices as you need to use them, and try to take note of when the drain problems returns. There you go, that's the device that's at fault!

Chuck the device out the window of your car while driving at 90MPH. Enjoy your newfound battery life. :)
