It must be ACTIVATED from an iOS 11 device.
Your point still stands though.

Except, when charger is too far away from your bed.
Many people like to use their phone at last minute before sleeping.

I’ve been away from the forums for a while. How has battery life been for you guys? Seems like it has tanked (as it always does with beta 2).
[doublepost=1499149844][/doublepost]If I AirPlay music from an Apple Music radio station to an Apple TV, my battery drops about 5% every 5 minutes. It’s bad. It reminds me of iOS 7 when they launched iTunes Radio. That battery life was 10x worse though.

Three things that seems to be killing my battery (literally) is Apple Safari (my phone gets really hot each and every time I do some web-surfing.. And I can almost look at the battery percentages like it's a minute counter) while doing so. The other is Apple Music, when going out for a jog I have to make sure I have at least 60% battery otherwise I might as well end up with a dead battery before I get home (I normally jog for 1-1,5 hour). And the latest is Snapchat which is using a whole bunch of battery in the background.
It's funny how Apple's own first-party applications are the biggest cause of battery strain for me. This is on a iPhone 7 Plus, I would normally get about two-days of battery life. Now I get about a day, or not even a half if I try to use Apple Music or do a loot of surfing though Safari.

Hapenned to me. Had to turn off and on contact syncing in iCloud and restart the phone.
What really bothers me is when the camera randomly does not work. Had to restart the phone to get it working again.
What annoys ne, is my volume.
Every 5-30 Minutes my volume (not ringtone one) levels to 0.
Very annoying when listening to spotify on work.
Anyone knows a workaround for this issue or is experiencing the same?
Already bugged it. Restart did not fixed it.

what annoys me is people who install a beta and complain because they don´t know what a beta is
This didn’t work for me. Did you have to reboot your iPhone to get the first character of each word to not capitalize?
Already can do that with iOS 10 on iPad Air 2.
Dependent on the app though, correct? YouTube wouldn’t let me do it.
Anyone else have their wallpaper suddenly shift on screen? It happens when exiting apps and looks to be rotated 90 degrees.
Edit: Specifically, it happens when exiting safari in landscape mode.

ProTube let you do it. The great side benefit of it is you don't have to worry about ads no more.

I think this is a bit unreasonable. I can be as hard as the next guy when people complain about bugs as if a beta should be bug free. However, I don't see that in the recent posts in this thread. You can be fully aware of the beta status of software but still be legitimately unhappy about a big bug that affects your phone particularly hard.
Yes, you can be unhappy about it. But the next question is, is that user reporting the bug? Because if they are not reporting the bug, they have no right to complain. No right at all.
You know what sucks... when you file a bug report and they mark it as a duplicate after you put a ton of effort into the details. But it’s still good to show them that the bug affects many people.
And when you submit a bug, they respond for more info and want logs then you don’t hear from them again about the bug you reported. Along with NO fix for the bug.
No response means they got what they needed. Apple Engineering is not very social... surprise, surprise. Some bug fixes are very complex and take time. A long time.
Hi!
I'm new here. I own an iPhone 5s and upgraded it to ios 11 beta 2 update 1. My biggest problem is that I can't download any apps from the appstore. It's always stucked at the rotating semi-circle for a few minutes and eventually goes back to the "Get" button. Are there any work-arounds or solutions to this glitch?
Thank you very much!

Try logging out of the App Store, doing a hard reboot and then log back into the App Store.
The biggest "work around" is to not install beta software on a device that you depend on. Unfortunately, I've seen the behavior you are experiencing from time to time with Apple's iOS beta software... stuff happens sometimes, and many times, the bug that affect you may not affect me, and vice versa.
