iOS 11.3 Beta 2 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[HackDaBox]

Yeah I already did that, and it clears the list.
But when I use private mode, sites appear on that list again.
So far it seems like private browsing mode doesn't work and that I'll have to clear history after every use.
It's been happening since 11.0, and a fresh install of 11.2 didn't fix it.
Reported to Apple.

That’s a long time for a bug ... seriously they know about it and it been there since iOS 11.0 for a company that always says they take your privacy very seriously !

94% for an iPhone 7 Plus bought in June 2017

94% for an iPhone 7 Plus bought in September 2016 not bad at all

Very happy with the battery life on this beat on my iPX. Hope they don’t **** it up in future betas!

For those being not sure about their battery's performance I made a little graph based on Geekbench results on iPhone X (draining from 70% for 1hr 5min).

EDIT: I disabled "Touch to wake" in iOS 11.3 Beta 2. Not sure if that's why perfomance went up so high.

My Music app never remembers which song I was listening to. When I go back in the app after having the song on Pause for a while, it just shows Not Playing. This is a little annoying.

Does messages in the cloud upload all of the threads already on devices and build on that?

Or does it just start from the messages you send and receive after you’ve switched it on (- bad )

 

[adrianlondon]

- bad

Books app crashes back to springboard when I try to go back to see all my books. Using iCloud for books. Also feedback app still calls it iBooks which needs updating

The same thing’s been happening for me too. If you haven’t reported this via the Feedback app already I’d recommend you do. I did and I actually heard back from them. It sounds like it’s a known issue and that they’re working on it. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

I have raise to wake disabled and use tap to wake instead. found my battery life went up a bit (or the Home & Lock Screen time went down in the battery usage).

Me too. Have raised it as a bug with number 3999261.

Amazon prime app will not load videos at al, just sits there and sits there, you hear sound for 2 or 3 seconds but video never loads. Netflix and Hulu work fine !

Same here. Prime won’t load any videos.

Anyone having issues with photos? I take them, they get uploaded to iCloud but I can’t share them or look at the clear photo on my iPhone X.

Advice? Or is it worthless for me to take pics during the beta?

WiFi oddity today on my iPad 10.5.

I launched app “nPerf”, a Speedtest app, it was stuck on the splash screen showing connecting. Nothing was happening. Launched Safari and my iPad disconnected from WiFi. Checked my other devices in router and all were still connected.

Odd, because my connection has been rock solid. I reported it.

I have no problems with photos. Everything works.

That's pretty awesome battery life! My iPhone 8 Plus didn't get past 10 hour's ;-)
Was low power mode on??

Anyone has this kind of bug? And how to resolve this bug?

Wait. It will be resolved.

 

[Banglazed]

I think I found a solution for those who are getting duplicate emoji in the frequently used emoji keyboard. Can those people try to Reset Keyboard Dictionary to see if it will resolve it?

No. I used Sonos for a total of 1.4hrs. The rest was Safari for a couple of hours, Personal Hotspot for 4hrs, 45mins on Waze and then the rest was calls, messaging and emails.

No generally don’t use low power mode as never felt the need to.

The things I do to save battery.

- When out and not using personal hotspot I turn off WiFi.
- I only have my Suunto watch connected during the day. All other Bluetooth Devices are disabled/off.
- Keep the phone screen down whilst at work. I see a notification on my Suunto and then know wether I need to answer it or not.
- I don’t use Raise To Wake and only use Tap to Wake. I found my Home and Lock Screen times went down dramatically.
- I don’t use Faceache app I use a Safari shortcut.
- I force close WhatsApp and Faceache Messenger whenever I have finished with it. Otherwise they don’t suspend properly and the background activity goes up. The rest of the apps I leave to suspend.
- When at home or on WiFi I turn the phone into Airplane mode. My apartment only gets a 1-2bar LTE signal so I found it saves power by just using WiFi.
- I use 5GHz WiFi only at home. My ASUS router has a mode to reduce the power consumption for mobile devices (WMM APSD)
- Although I have True Tone display on and Auto Brightness I still control it manually if I feel the screen has gone too bright.

That’s about it. I generally get around 10.5-11hrs with my X. Which is very welcome coming from a 7+ that struggled to hit 7hrs.

This is my usage over the last 7 days.

Waking up thru tap isn't available for iphone 7? Is it only for iphone x?

Yes because there’s no home button.

Yes I have reported it ! That’s how I know the name is wrong in the feedback app.

yeah, I noticed disabling "Tap to raise" and "Tap to wake" increased my standby drain from ~ 1%/hour to 0.5%/hour in 11.2.5 to 11.3 Beta 2.
