Don't have exchange accounts but every other account, forum or anything at all I need to re-log in everytime. Some like banking I don't want to stay logged in obviously but I visit many other forums and tech sites and find it really annoying to have to login each time. My keychain is enabled and not sure what else to try. But I feel that pain.
really? no issues? so beta 1 was the GM? good to know
No issues that make it unusable for daily use, yes
wow ive never seen anything over 8 hours on any iPhone i have ever owened. My 7 Plus lasts about 6 to 7 hours tops
Okay, on my iP7+ I went back to iOS 10.3.3 and I‘m pleased to have a stable system.
While beta 4 was quite okay, beta 5 is a dump. On my iPad Pro (9,7) it‘s okay and I continue to use it. But on iPhone it was way too buggy.
I am using betas for years now but I can‘t remember a beta 5 being worse than beta 4. Small new bug, okay, we had that before. But freezing touch-screens etc. are really new and shouldn‘t happen about a month before final release!
I‘m assume that number of bugs won‘t be completely worked out until public release...

Can anyone let me know if there’s a way to downgrade to iOS 10 without losing my health/activity data from my Apple Watch? There’s no way to do a clean restore from backup without losing it, is there?
I haven’t seen any awful bugs with beta 5, but my battery life has been pretty awful over the past 24 hours. It dropped like crazy just using Notes and Tapatalk.

Beta 5 seems pretty stable so far. None of the critical issues that plagued Beta 3 seem present. I'm using it on an iPad Pro 12.9" (2017 model), ipad Pro 9.7" and an iPhone 7. Great battery life. Haven't had any major weird bugs. Definitely usable as a daily driver IMO but mileage may vary as always.
Happy to be getting the full functionality out of the new iPad now!

When trying to add a photo to a contact profile and you click on a photo, the screen turns black. Can’t set it.
It could also do with network somehow. This came as a shock to me and this is some years ago on a BlackBerry Bold 9700 when I tried out some networks in my area.
I was on Airtel network, signal -55, and battery would suffer minor drain overnight. Airtel runs at 1800MHz.
I went with Vodafone, signal -63, battery suffered similar drain, nothing substantial or concerning. Vodafone runs at 900MHz.
Then I tried Idea Cellular, that runs at 900MHz also, and signal was superb at -55, but the battery was nearly empty the next morning. I repeated it for 3 nights to same result and came to conclude that this is something to do with how the network communicates with the device and/or requires the device to communicate with it.
Vodafone and Airtel (at least in my crude tests and my geographical/ demographic location) is a very "nimble" network in that respect.
Glad I downgraded back to 10.3.3. My battery life improved significantly since. While on iOS 11 PB4, my battery life was awful. Otherwise, it seemed to run smoothly. Only glitch I noticed was the black screen when locking and unlocking.
Some issues I have had that have not seen some mentioned:
Anyone else still having frame drops with 3d touch on 7+? I had this issue with beta 10 and my 6s+ last year.
I also noticed when restarting the phone and going into the favorites in the phone app that the favorites show their phone number instead of name. It usually changes back their name after a few times of opening and closing the app. Anyone else have this issue?
Sometimes when unlocking phone via finger print the lock screen pops up and the top says unlocked but the device does not open to the home screen. Instead it sits on the lock screen saying unlocked.
Submitted all three via feedback assistant.

iPhone becoming unresponsive after generating any notification- be it for messages, or mail.
Even power button does not restart the phone. You have to do a hard reset to restart the phone (power + both volume buttons).

My 6S connects automatically as soon as the phone connect with the car. Seems to be one of those things that is random with some phones.
