I have an Asus router and all is well on 2g/5g. By any chance, does your router have a universal beamforming setting that you can disable? Sometimes that feature doesn’t play well with devices.

Hi scjr, I am not sure if it does have that feature, BUT, my iPhone was fine and has been fine no matter how it was used, or whichever iOS was installed up until I put 12 PB3 on it. Before that it was fine. Also take into account I have another iPhone and 2 MacBooks which work fine, not to mention 2 Sky Q boxes working and downloading without issues.
The PB has b0rked my phone somehow and i'm not clever enough to know how or why.
Edited to add, thanks for trying to help!

I know how maddening WiFi issues can be. Hopefully it will get worked out for you in next beta.
 
Sometimes it happens right away from hitting "shuffle" to start a playlist. I was wondering what the odds were that it started shuffle with the first song in my playlist (has almost 1,500 songs..."My Top Rated")...and then I noticed it played the same artist two songs in a row.

Hit shuffle again and it seemed to work fine...but haven't had it go back to sequential playing yet...that I've noticed...
It's pretty intermittent with my >3,000-song "My Top Rated" playlist as well, and re-shuffling fixes it temporarily. Happens about 1-2x per day, on the way to work and mid-workday. I wonder if it's just for that one "My Top Rated" playlist type that's created by iTunes? I'm going to try the ol' "right-click the playlist name in iTunes and choose the 'Copy to Play Order' menu item" trick... has helped previously with other weirdness. I'll send in a bug via the Feedback app.

the only WiFi fix I've found (and I have to do it once a day) is to "Forget" my wifi connection, and re-connect to it. Once my wifi stops working, I do it again. Very annoying.

I have to do this every time I unlock my phone, yes, every time!
turn off wifi, turn on wifi. Otherwise it does nothing.
Interestingly enough I was in Ikea today. I connected to their wifi fine. Now since you get disconnected automatically when you are not using it, i.e. phone is locked, when I turn on my phone and it re-connects, it works fine!
My issue is something to do with locking phone which is dropping wifi somehow even though it stays connected

Deleted apps that weren’t working but now they’re just not downloading when I try to get them again:confused:
No one seems interested in this but the latest development is that Reset All Content and Settings doesn’t work... as in I tap it and nothing happens.

This is a very weird combination of glitches which makes me a little worried if I’m honest.
 
I'm experiencing camera lock up every now and then. When I click on camera the screen would turn white and freeze. Have to FC and try again

Has anyone experienced the battery drain in standby? It kills my battery in this beta, it went from 46 to 29 percent in 7.5 hours in Low Power mode.

Signing out of iCloud first fixed this. I guess it’s meant to question whether you want to sign out first but a bug meant it failed to bring that up. After restoring from iCloud backup, everything is fine.
 
I’m now getting all notifications disappearing. Never had that before ever. Ffs.
So whether in lock screen or using phone, pulling down notification screen shows nothing. I had two texts early today, neither showed up on lock screen. Crazy

Edited to add: I can no longer clear groups of notifications, only the whole screens worth. Tapping the X for groups does nothing.

Anyone seen this bug with 3D Touch on notifications?

1. Have at least one notification in your notification centre
2. Confirm when you 3D Touch on it that you pop into the rich view
3. Dismiss the rich view by tapping outside it (don't dismiss the notification itself)
4. Now slide left on the notification to reveal Manage, View, Clear options.
5. Slide the notification back right, to hide the options.
6. Now try to 3D touch on the same notification - it doesn't work.

Once it stops working, closing and re-opening the notification centre or, sometimes, trying to 3D touch on other notifications gets it working again.

It’s something with swiping to reveal the options. You really just need steps 4-6.
 
Within the last day or so, I've started to notice some severe lag when I unlock my iPhone 8+. The phone unlocks fine, but the screen is unresponsive for a second or two... sometimes locking the screen and then unlocking it resolves the issue, but usually, I have to wait for everything to 'wake up' before it starts responding as normal again...

Anyone else?

Reported to Apple yesterday afternoon.
 
Anyone else having an issue with the messages icon showing unread messages when there aren't any. Mine is showing 8 unread messages. I've tried deleting all my messages, signing out of icloud, turning imessage off and back on and resetting network connections and its still happening. Any ideas?

Yup, had this happen a few times. Seemed to be when I would get a text notification while unlocked but I would ignore it. If I then went into Messages and read it, it would still act as if it was unread. Eventually it would clear either from a subsequent message from the same user or something else. Never figured out the exact "fix". Hasn't happened consistently though.

Yep me too. I restarted the phone and it cleared it both times it happened.

Yes, happing to me also. Hitting edit and then read all clears it. Also my messages do not show in the order I received them.

I am also having an issue where I am missing notifications on my Apple Watch Series 3.

This beta just seems buggier then the last one.

Yeah that didn't do it for me, I'm just going to go back to 11.4.1 for a bit I guess.
 
I'm still encountering an issue with iCloud Photo Library not updating, App Store updates not updating, and iCloud Backup not being able to complete. I've send feedback in the app, but haven't seen a confirmation from dev that these are known issues yet.
 
Battery dropped 10% in 12 minutes listening to music using iPhone music app when listening through iPhone speakers. Does not happen with any other apps for music or videos. Submitted feedback since beta 1 and they haven’t fixed it
