Is anyone backup is on top of battery stats?
% is being increased all day, doesn't seem to use much battery anyway!

That would indicate your backup is struggling to complete I would think. I would check to see if your iCloud backup is hung or not completing for some reason. iCloud backup was one of the items fixed in this release. I had to manually press backup to clear that old error about unavailable files.
iCloud Backup
Nightly backups should no longer fail with the error message “Some files were unavailable during the
last backup.”

[Edit] Doesnt seem to be fixed after-all. Still getting that message. I deleted the backup from iCloud and will see if it runs later automatically.

What is your carrier? Is it 27.5.10?

Also is yours the Intel or Qualcomm?

Mine is 27.5.10 and Intel

 

[Septembersrain]

Mine is 27.5.10 and Intel

And you're on the newest beta? Weird. Same as mine.

 

[campyguy]

maps also seem to be newer maps

Same old VZW/AOL/Mapquest Maps x-ref here, along with the mapping errors to go with them.

In CarPlay they centered the time/cell strength/network in the status bar between 3 current apps and the home button. Looks just right now.

This beta broke my ability to open the Solitaire Classic Collection game from Microsoft

This is happening to me with a lot of my apps. Removing and re-downloading seems to be the fix. Super annoying.

When iOS 10 was released, the next and previous buttons disappeared from the Mail app on my iPad. Not a problem on iPhone. Has this been fixed in 10.3 beta 2?

Trying to read through the thread but it's gotten really long. Can anyone summarize the major bugs still persistent in Beta 2?

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed pink boxes showing randomly in the Notification Center? They show up and then disappear. Weird. Happens when I pull down or swipe right for the NC. No rhyme or reason for when it happens? Thanks.

That's it. I reported it.

Appreciate you, C DM. Thank you.

Someone on Reddit said it's a feature. Before, yes, the app could be viewed straight away but it was a placeholder from when it was opened before. You can't press anything until the app is open fully.

This way, people won't think they can instantly press something.

We'll see.

No, it's not a feature. A black scree is the most tacky thing I've ever seen.

i personally prefer Zollotech as he seems sincere and doesn't try to reel in the viewer with misleading claims. Just an honest review.

Yeah. I also follow his channel. He is also using his daily driver to demonstrate, not demo device like ererythingapplepro does.

Same here on 6s in India. Anyone on any other models facing this issue.

I have the same issue on iPhone 7.

Opening folders is now smooth every time! Before it would slightly stutter but now 100% buttery. Also, it feels like it has a slight different (slower) animation, but at least it's stable now. Apart from scrolling in the music app the whole OS is. Love it!

At the moment I want to throw this in the bin. I work from home and use a conference bridge to dial into for a lot of meetings, it usually takes me about 10 goes before the phone/IVR will register the bridge number and then PIN I'm entering in. Probably the most frustrated I've ever been with a beta.

Pretty much see post one as it is a summary. Nothing major really that I have seen reported.

That 'fix' wasn't fixed for me. I reported it...

Has that iCloud activation bug been fixed in public beta 2? Also has anyone's iphone been freezing when updating apps?

I have one occasion. I need to do a hard reset to restore.
Never remove all physical buttons I suggest. Only remove them when software runs flawlessly 24/7.

Things of that nature is what essentially got me away from using betas on my main device.

Otherwise the latest beta seems pretty stable?

Well, for me, it is stable enough, except some random restarts and springboard crashes.
