iOS 11.3 Beta 1 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
Safari keeps freezing on me, especially when there's a pop up for photo montages on websites.

Random stutters when browsing between pages on home screen.

Blue bluetooth indicator on the music tab in control centre has disppeared
 
Has anyone else experience the volume randomly making out? I don’t meant the ringer volume, but speaker volume when watching videos or listening to audio. It keeps happening and am concerned about speakers being blown. I have searched google as well as this thread and have not come across anyone else with this bug. I think it’s a bug as it only started occurring on iOS 11.3 PB 1
 
I ran the 11.3b update on my iPad Air, and have had constant issues with passwords.

During the on boarding setup after the update, I got to the iCloud screen. Enter my password, and after a little wait I get a "KVS syncronizeWithCompletionHandler failed" error. Ended up having to skip iCloud setup.

Once in, Settings constantly prompts me to enter my iCloud password - still won't accept it. Meanwhile the passwords for my email accounts, caldav, and wifi network have all been forgotten - and entering any of them also doesn't work.

So... yay?

Your not alone. Same thing too. iPhone X

I mean I know its a beta build but I wasn’t experiencing these freezes or general non responsiveness until maybe the last couple builds. If we’re getting closer to a GM release this isn’t looking good.

Is anyone else’s Music app refreshing constantly? Like if I go into Genre > Album, lock my device, the app will start over again, even minutes later

Or I’ll search something and then it’ll purge the results and start over

Super frustrating

Happens to me. Likely a bug.

This is the first beta of 11.3. I think maybe you are getting confused with 11.2.5.

Yes. Also having this issue on my iPhone X. Most notable is the CNN app. Freezes after being resumed (after being in the background for a few minutes) and must be quit from task switcher and then relaunched to get it functional again.

AirPlay is really borked with iOS 11.3 BETA1 and tvOS 11.3 BETA1. When I try to AirPlay from my iPhone X or my iPad Pro to any of my Apple TV's the video will still play on the iOS devices itself, but the audio will be played in the Apple TV and everything is out-of-sync. Rebooting the devices doesn't not help.

Testing AirPlay 2 grouping multiple Apple TV's etc, or grouping multiple using iOS will work the first time but afterwards you can't change the output speaker on any of the Apple TV's without rebooting.
 
11.3 bets on my iPad air2 won’t update apps in the App Store or download new ones. Not an issue prior to the beta.

This is beta 1. Its not "getting close to a GM" just yet.

That's probably a new security 'feature' to keep folks from getting fake news :) (could not resist)

Hi, guys! I'd like to know how this beta goes on X?) Is it lagging a lot?
Click to expand...

I moan about lagging lots , so far this has been the smoothest ios 11 yet on my X. Yes sometimes itll get random slow downs. i've had a couple of issues one with the widget page where it is half of the screen so I have to go back and forth a few times to get it to show properly, and headphones not recognised (until you plug them in a few times) apart from that it has been good.

Battery life seems far too good to be true

2hours 41 usage
9 hours 12 standby

down to 83% battery. I suspect the readings are wrong. I haven't listened to any music today either so its strange to have such good battery life

Everybody will experience different issues, so if you feel brave enough to, back up your phone and go for it.

I have an air 2 and 7+ both on this beta and both are working well. My 7+ has experienced the safari freeze bug others have talked about but I haven't seen anything at all wrong with my air 2. My 7+ is actually working better than 2.5, especially for carplay and it seems a bit quicker than 2.5. The safari freeze up doesn't really bother me much, simple matter to close and reopen.

Yep. Does that for me too. WiFi seems very slow too on 2.4 at work. At home where I have a mesh network it seems fine. Very odd

6S+ and 1st full day's battery has been shockingly poor. Now I had been using it a lot more in the first 5 hours than usual, however I also had a thought that it may just need the battery % calibrating but I had plugged it in before thinking of that. Will run it down then see how we go tomorrow.
Issues - Not as many as I thought there may be having read this thread. Safari is being a pain at times and not auto-filling passwords that it used to do; UK Nottingham Post news app is struggling - this app pops up adverts whereby you normally just close them and carry on. With this beta the adverts are blank in the pop up window, so you cannot close them, ergo you cannot read the news article underneath the pop up blank window.
I have not yet found anything else to moan about which is nice. lol.

This has to be the worst beta. Random lockup’s are now happening multiple times an hour. Debating on downgrading
Click to expand...

I'm having none of these issues on my iPhone 8 or my iPad Air. Only detectable problem for me is that a third party app I use here and there (non critical) crashes at launch now. Everything else is smoother and quicker.

Have you tried a wipe and restore?
 
ihonda, as above advice, did you install OTA or using iTunes and IPSW file? I find the IPSW method better
