Phone is locked and on DND. Pick up phone and unlock, shows connected to LTE and takes about 10-15 secs to connect to WiFi. It’s as if phone isn’t coming out of hot standby quick enough?

Edit: Doing some research, it appears this is normal behavior. :)

Doesn’t for me. Was about 2 AM when I tried.

It automatically turns on when you set a route. Here’s mine starting a route to (in this example) work. Turns to Night Mode automatically when I hit ‘Start’ then back to Day Mode when I hit ‘End’. I have nothing else enabled (ie Smart Invert)

Is this beta fine for daily use? Thanks

Just like any beta, it depends on a case by case

For some yes, for others no. Some get a stable install, some get an install not so stable. Some can deal with bugs, some cannot.

That’s for you to deside. For me it’s been very good and better than 11.0, 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3 (iPhone 7+)

The problem is there for everyone. The same way. Now whether or not people are bothered by it is a completely different matter.

Well isn’t it just inconvenient that I don’t experience any of the nit picky bugs that “everyone” complains about on here? Don’t worry, I pay VERY close attention to detail (watch me select a birthday card, you’d go insane).

Echo chamber much.

I'm noticing a slight improvement in my iPhone 7's battery. I'm currently at 85% after 3 hours of stand-by/use. Battery was my worst nightmare since I started with iOS 11 but it looks like it's going to be better :eek:
 
It’s happening again for me. 2 days in, and my phone is starting to lag a little bit and the app crashing is happening. Every iOS 11.1 Beta it does this for me. It works great for a couple of days then all hell breaks loose. I’ll reset all settings and restart to see if that fixes it.
 
Anyone running this on an iPad 9.7' (2017)?

It's insanely fast and smooth on iOS 10.3.3 so I reluctant to update to iOS 11 and lose that.

11.0 was awful on it.

What phone do you have? I’m on the same beta and iPhone 7 Plus 128GB and have noticed no slow downs on any recent beta (I know I’m just one person but just wanted to add to the metrics). Could it be an app causing it?

iPhone 6s. I updated all my apps (it still could be one that is causing it, though). For example, scrolling through settings or any other app, you can now see the frame rate drop. When I click on an app by double clicking the home app and choosing it (reddit, for example), the app will freeze and become unresponsive for around 5-10 seconds then close. There seems to be a small memory leak. It’s definitely not as bad as it was in Beta 1 and 2 but it seems like its something Apple is noticing and improving on each Beta.
 
Nope definitely not seen that. Mine really is very smooth. Something that certainly needs sorting because you’re not the only person reporting this on here (as I’m sure you’ve seen).

11.1 PB3 has been running smoother for me than beta 1 or 2. But one remaining problem: battery drain.

In the last two or three betas of iOS 11.0 before the official release, I had pretty good battery life on iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro 10.5".

Starting with the official release of 11.0, battery life is reduced - not horrifically, but ~6 hours of instead of ~10 hours. And performance was a bit glitchier than in the last few betas. Things didn't improve for me with 11.0.1 or 11.0.2. At that point, I moved to 11.1 PB2 in hopes it would be better, and it was better in ways other than battery life, though still a bit glitchy. PB3 has been better yet, but still, battery doesn't last more than 6 hours before needing a recharge.

iOS 11 seems to be a bigger upgrade from iOS 10 than iOS 10 was from iOS 9. I imagine Apple's developers have been more focused on getting everything to work fluidly than on optimizing code for improved battery performance.

But I really, really hope battery life will soon improve, at least part way toward what it was before.

3 hours of standby or use? Or are you saying both use and standby are basically the same?

May want to calibrate the battery. I had similar issue on one of the 11.0 betas and decided to run that. Once it got to 1% and I was ready for a shutdown any moment, it kept going for like another 1.5 hrs or so. I was like WTH. So case and point, the meter may not be reporting the true capacity. A calibration typically resolves that.
 
Just ran into a pretty nasty bug for the first time. Navigating to any picture in Photos and hitting the "share" button expands the picture to fill the window; no share sheet shows up. This happens with every picture, and does not seem to be fixed with multiple resets. After the photo fills the screen, it becomes unresponsive to touch - you cannot invoke Control Center, Notification Center, the app switcher, or utilize the power button independently. This is bad. Hopefully killing RAM will fix things, but I'm reporting regardless.
