iOS 12.3 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[sbailey4]

Reported?

(Sick of asking this)

So why do you keep asking? I mean is it really that important to police this forum where folks are discussing issues whether or not they reported to Apple? I would assume if folks want their issues fixed then they are reporting it, if not well then that's ok too. If they just want to discuss it in a discussion forum with others that should be ok. Not flaming you just saying.............

You’re absolutely right. Can’t argue with you...going to wind my neck in. Just grinds gears for some reason...

 

[StumpyBloke]

Yes sorry, should have said that in original post. Reported many times now.

Thank you. Hope it gets sorted. That comment about ‘sick of asking’ wasn’t directed at you btw...it’s directed at me and the situation.

I can’t control my music which is playing on my iPhone from my watch.

As noted on the screen shot.




Anyone else notice this?

That's a sorrow indeed.

When you search in the messages app, and you select a conversation, when you leave the conversation you selected it disappears. only way to get it back is to force close the messages app. I've had this problem for a while now, even on official release.

No issue here. Open message app. Search for a word. Select convo. Go back. Convo is still in the list.

The responses that I am getting from Apple about cellular signal issues with dual SIM seem to suggest that VoLTE (“Voice and Data”) must be turned on.

Is that everybody else’s experience?

Do you find that the cellular signal problems disappear when the setting is for both voice and data?

Oh yes, after @H3LL5P4WN posted I realised this is not a new behaviour but a bug, so did the needful.
[doublepost=1555069826][/doublepost]

What is happening, at least for me, is that the moment I press the side button to lock the screen, a message pops up on the screen regarding the USB accessories. If I do not press the side button and leave the screen unlocked, within about 5 seconds of keeping the phone down (screen facing down) the popup comes up, nonetheless, disturbing my listening experience.

And this happens every on single instance of those two actions, pressing the button or laying the phone down. It has become annoying now.

Now that sounds like a bug for sure. I don’t have this issue. I only get the message when I plug the headphones in. I can play music, lock my phone etc, and the message doesn’t return until I unplug and re-plug in the headphones.

Somethings broken with my battery now in beta 2.

I slept at 93% battery and woke up 10 hours later with just 20%. Battery statistics in the settings app shows no app activity at that 10 hours.

I felt a really heavy battery drain yesterday and I couldnt even charge it more than 93%. No matter how long I charged it, it never showed 94%

80% bug resurfaced on my iPhone 8, too. After a lot of effort, it edges forward, to stop charging arbitrarily. Sometimes it works flawlessly to 100%. Something is surely off, hopefully gets fixed by the next beta.

Does anyone else get the media bug in safari?

For example, go to youporn and select a random video. Now scroll until all the boring stuff has happened and the action begins. It always stops playback, the player gets completely black and I have to refresh the page again. Very frustrating.

I’ve been experiencing something strange and really annoying. If I use Safari, go to Google and do a search, it hangs for a very long time before displaying results. Sometimes so long, I close it and re-open.

To see if it was the browser or network, I downloaded Edge and went through the same steps. Zero issues. So something is buggy with Safari on my phone.

That was a fun experiment. It took a few tries of skipping through. And sometimes video just froze. But then rewinding a few seconds I was able to reproduce. Funny thing I had this bug a few betas ago when watching keynote:

My 8 plus too is having heavy battery drain with little activity/screen on

I've noticed general sluggishness start to creep in on this beta, along with a more alarming issue.

Every night for the last 4 nights, I'll wake up randomly (unrelated, I think) to see my Nimble charging pad blinking indicating a foreign object has been detected, and thus my phone is not charging. This had not happened all prior to beta 2.

I'm not saying that beta 2 is the culprit, but the timing is suspect.

Hopefully we will get something today that might bring back some lost glory.

Yeah. Of all the 12.x betas, this is probably top 3 for general wonkiness for me. Even beta 1 with it's broken palm rejection ran better.

Nope.

I need a new beta now cause this WiFi turning itself back on automatically is annoying.

Did anyone stop getting Up Next notifications from TV app?

[MOD NOTE]
Please use the speculation thread if you want to hazard a guess of when the next beta comes through. A number of posts have been removed as off topic.

Did anyone stop getting Up Next notifications from TV app?

I've never gotten them on my phone. In fact, the only ones I've gotten have been for out of town baseball teams on my Apple TV. Never for my hometown teams, regardless of sport.

Did anyone stop getting Up Next notifications from TV app?

Didn’t have any issues yesterday/Sunday for Game of Thrones but now none of my Up Next adds are showing. Only this beta though - running official release on ATV and it’s displaying fine. Ran into this initially when updating to beta 2 but only on my iPad. iPhone is displaying correctly and getting the correct notifications.

Happened 30mins ago. I’m reporting it to Apple one last time.

Issue: random signal lost in a perfectly good coverage area
