On my iPad Pro 9,7“ sometimes the Status Bar doesn‘t show up. I have to restart my device. But except that I don‘t have bigger problems
My iPhone X display occasionally becomes unresponsive. Locking the phone and unlocking doesn’t fix, doing a shutdown and restart is the only way I’ve gotten past it. Happens about 1-2 times a day. Annoying, but not a deal breaker for using this beta as a daily driver IMO.
Otherwise this beta has been great for me thus far.

It looks like iMazing for Windows now (as of version 2.4.4, just released) does what you want.

Unfortunately this definitely seems to have gone down in stability as opposed to beta 1. Lots of freezing, even just to open my messenger. Games freeze just trying to load, hopefully beta 3 isn’t too far out
Everyone to fox freeeezing of Imessanger please disabled messages in the Icloud and disable Imessages just to get back to standard txt/sms -old school plain basic TXT and than sign out of your apple ID Icloud account, after you have done all off this you MUST HARD RESET THE PHONE BY DOING THIS<.

after hard reset my phone stopeed freezing and it logged into Imessages, but I AM STILL UNABLE TO LOG INTO MY IMAC with 10.13.4 BEta 2
No offense, before you go off on me you could simply ask why I got that generalization, which it wasn’t. Upon reading ALL 17 pages and following along this betas comments — The few people who have had issues... it’s with the X. Which I happen to have and have had horrible luck with betas in the past and am trying to get my phone debugged from the mess that iOS 11 caused everyone.
Beta 2 also has the iMessage issue and it loading messages slower, along with the crashing. Which also seems to be indicating issues with the X’s running this beta. I happened to reply to latest comments regarding someone’s recent bug issue. I’m one who upgrades to the least buggiest beta to enjoy a semi stable phone for a while, as well as report any issues (which is the purpose of going to the beta). People are allowed to be skeptical and cautious here once in a while — sorry you don’t like it. Along with the music popping issue in the beta that hasn’t appeared since 11.1. Now the whole OS being smoother on top of it which seems to be a recurring theme with each Beta that I’ve followed.
So yes. Paying attention to people with an iPhone X running this beta is what I’m keeping an eye out for. To know if it’s worth going to or not. People are here to get their phones stable, report bugs to Apple, and talk about the good and bad with one another. You’re going to run into users making more comments and probably worse than mine (which wasn’t as bad as you made it out to be).
No one's asking you to come in here, cite every post that reflects poorly on the beta and provide several tightly reasoned paragraphs about why you are choosing not to use it. However, as a service to others, you might say something like the following: "I've read through all/most of this thread and on balance I'm concerned about putting this on my X because of the issues I'm seeing raised here."
Your reasoning, as elaborated above, certainly makes sense. But posts, like your first one, appear frequently here and give the impression that the posters saw one or two issues and decided, based solely on those, that the beta was a problem. That, in turn, discourages others from trying the beta.
I wasn't trying to call you out personally, it was just a long day yesterday and it just hit me the wrong way.
I personally love BETAS, im an IT geek, who else wold spend 8-12 hours figuring out how to get a work around a certain problem and replicate the issue, backup, restore 3-4 times, backup your MAC and format the hard drives.... this is why it's called beta and we are BETA dev and public testers, gotta love the game
Don't have remote App pairing restricted, do you? [Settings-General-Restrictions] If you have that set to RESTRICTED the ATV Remote App can't find it. You have to pair it 1st, then lock it down to prevent anyone else from being able to control the ATV through that or any other app.
Anyone having issues with wireless charging on beta 2?
I use the Mophie charger and since the update the light often blinks instead of remaining solid during charging and after 3 full nights of charging, each morning I'm only at 85-95% instead of 100%, where it always was prior to beta 2 update.

Same. Three phones - 7, 6s+, 8+. Good performance given the device age. Battery life unchanged. So far at least. I always do a Reset All Settings though after every update. Maybe that helps
And if there is no LOW POWER MODE?
Thats the question
Not sure what you mean. Low power mode still there.
Now with this option the battery is bad if there is no option like Low Power Mode what we will do...
I had to keep resetting all my equipment. And unplug my router over and over. And eventually got it working.
Low power mode is still there. They haven't taken that away. If you are referring to the throttling / battery health addition to 11.3 then you need to read about how that works here.

I am using 11.3 so that shouldn’t be the issue. Just to clarify, HomePod is working fine with playing my music. It’s just personal requests refuses to work and I keep having authentication issues.
I incorrectly stated I have 9.3, I was meant to say 11.3 (beta 2). Sorry.
When I ask Siri to send a message she says “you’ll need to authenticate on iPhone to continue” and then a pop up appears on my iPhone. When I click on that pop up, I get the following screen (see screenshot).
