On iOS 10.3.2 beta 2, Bluetooth settings shows Apple Watch not connected. Tapping causes it to reconnect, a few minutes later it disconnects from Apple Watch. Tried rebooting both iPhone and Apple Watch - no improvement. Noticed that iPhone would not connect with Airpods unless forced in Bluetooth settings. Apple Watch running watchOS 3.2.2 beta 2.

Interesting; I am not experiencing this issue on either my Watch or my AirPods.

Im experiencing extreme battery drain on my 6s.

Set'd up as a new iphone (dfu mode) couple hours before the beta was released with 10.3.1, so I dont think theres junk on my iphone that causes the drain.

Battery % on top is draining in seconds, you can watch how it goes down lol.

Even in Power Saving Mode theres an abnormal drain and I'm not a power user. I dont play games on my smartphone, I dont watch videos or something. Safari is the most used app with ~25% battery drain, according to the information in the settings app. All other apps are about 3-8%.

I swear something is broken on my device for sure. Never experienced such behavior. And I noticed that when I turn my iphone off and on, the battery % is always higher after a restart.

Edit: Before iOS 10.3 my iphone lasts a whole day. But now Im on 0% in 50% of that time. Im on 0% before leaving my workplace, where I have normally ~40% left without!!! powermode.

Is there any accurate way to tell if my battery is physically defect?

After forcing the connection in bluetooth settings again, it has remained connected after half an hour. Sent Apple a bug report. Need to see if there are any Airpod connection problems with my iPads or rMBP. I haven't been able to stream music to my Jeep Uconnect system since last summer. Apple claims it's their problem. Wish Chrysler would get off their butts.

1. Did you restore any backup?
2. Did you give it 2-3 hours plugged into charge to let it index and optimize itself
3. What apps do you have installed, your issue is probably caused by a terrible app hijacking your phones resources.

1. nope, dfu mode + setup as a new phone, no backup

2. it was plugged in after the update for about 8-10 hours, I always charge my iphone overnight

3. standard apps. The ones everyone have. No 32 bit apps

And my whole phone is optimized for long battery life. Siri and spotlight search deactivated entirely, background refresh off, no parallax etc.

1. go to privacy Location services and system services, make sure most of all of those are off other then the essential ones such as SOS and Cell network search, all the others can be deactivated, make sure no apps are using location in background as that is the #1 way to just kill battery some of these stupid location things are pinging the phone every 30 seconds

Yep I know and they are all off. Just the one which triggers nightshift is activated. As I said every little setting in the settings app is optimized for battery life. No push notifications, no location services and so on. This + the fact that Im for sure no poweruser must lead me to a 2 day battery life, 24 hours at least. But Im struggling to get 8 hours, and 5 of them are standby hours lol.

I'm assuming you've checked to see if your battery is eligible for replacement. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/
Either way, something rogue is going on there. If you have access to an Apple Store, I would give that a shot.

Now that it's mentioned, I've been having issues connecting with the AirPods with the 10.3.2 betas. I'll put one AirPod in my ear and it'll show up on the Batteries widget, but the audio feed will not switch to the AirPod. Sometimes it takes 2-3 tries to get things working.

Yep, I've got it... Sweden, 6s
I installed about an hour ago (US, T Mobile, 7 Plus) and all seems OK so far. Haven't had a chance to play around too much but what I've done is working well.

Can you please check this one for me- vanishing notifications issue:
Clear all notifications from NC by clicking Clear multiple times (at the top of NC).
Then let some new mail come and display notification in NC.
Now open Mail app. It will clear all notifications automatically even if you dont view any mail.

I cleared all and sent myself new mail. I received a notification on the lock screen, but nothing in the notification center. When I received a text a few minutes later, it worked properly (showed on lock screen and notification center) as well as a notification from the Yahoo Sports app. So it seems to just be mail.

Exactly.
