So far the beta works quiete good. Haven't have the issue with the settings menue and can't re-produce it.

Battery drain is okay, about 4% this night with no significant use of any apps.

It has been about 0% the first night at after the install of this beta which i really can't explain and now it's back to "normal". I'm still experiencing the Siri behave, as Siri is consumpting battery without using it.

I am on this beta on my 11 pro max. I just tonight had a kind of scary experience that I don’t know is based on this beta or an issue with my battery. My phone froze on the homescreen. I proceeded to reboot my phone. Then it switched to a black screen with a spinning wheel. My phone would not respond to either volume up + sleep wake or volume up, volume down, hold sleep wake. I ended up taking my phone out of the case it got so hot. I thought the battery might explode. Finally it rebooted and started cooling down.

Hope my battery isn’t shot.

If you updated your phone in the last 24 hours then it’s likely just re-indexing the file system and aggregating diagnostics. Early beats tend to do this more than later betas. And it will sometimes cause your phone to “freeze up” and heat up. It’s typically not dangerous and if it isn’t getting crazy hot then just let it finish it’s work. If it doesn’t finish within an hour or two then reboot it.

That all makes sense but I didn’t just install it in the last 24 hours

Isn’t it usually 2 days or so after developer beta?

When they go to public beta, there is a far greater chance that morons like me are putting the beta on mission critical devices.

:)

I know we shouldn't. LOL.... But we do it anyway, and complain about it later.

So I'm okay waiting a week or so to be sure there isn't anything show stopping in the beta.

For me the Mail app is still problematic. It'll tell me that I have new emails, icon has a red indicatior, open the Mail app, no emails showing in All Emails. Pull to refresh, no change. Swipe back to the folder list view and All Emails has a number to indicate I have emails, press into All Emails and the emails now show.

This is pretty consistent for me and has been for a while even before 13.4 Beta. But I haven't long been using the in built Mail app, I've always used Google Inbox/GMail apps.

I suggest you get a screen recording and attach to feedback.

A “bug” and a “known issue” are clearly the same thing until it’s fixed.

Agree. Just that it doesn't need to be reported once they acknowledge that it is in the works to be squashed.

Fair enough, and also a great point. I’ve often found myself telling others around here that “it’s a beta...this is par for the course.”

Although, in my defense, all I did was type “uhhh” before my post and that apparently came off as complaining to several people.

It’s a beta. I get it. Been on every single beta for something like 10+ years and understand the deal. That said, there are some instances where the seemingly simplest bugs that first showed up in iOS 13.0 Beta 1 are, despite hundreds of reports, still being carried over into iOS 13.4...that does become frustrating.

Ah well. It is what it is. #BetaLife

Other than mail, there was one time that I didn't totally agree with the it's a beta mentality. Don't remember the exact scenario anymore, but I know we were definitely well into beta, not like a ##.0 initial, and something major was suddenly broken.

Only betas do this or any release?
