Or everyone could act responsibly and limit the volume on their own. 😉

I think I’m gonna wait for beta 3
Any issue with Apple Music to a Bluetooth speaker?
Mine keeps disconnecting
If you already have a smart stack on your home screen, you need to press somewhere on the home screen to get to the "widget editor" mode. Then, select the "+" symbol (top left) to get to the Add Widget page (or whatever its called). Then, scroll down to the battery widget and select the version of the widget that matches the size of your smart stack widget and click the "Add Widget" button at the bottom. The widget will now be on your home screen. Simply drag it onto your smart stack to complete the process.
Seems like GPS signal is not working in this beta. Can't get accurate location and it only uses cell/wifi to get location. Using the GPS diagnostic app, shows no GPS/Satellite signal.
Even with WiFi on, location accuracy is not great.

Can anyone let me know how to get weather and news, etc to update in the stack widget. Do I need to keep location services on or can I keep it off? I prefer not to keep it on because it’s eating battery on this beta cycle. Or is there another setting I need to enable if I keep location services off that will still update the widgets?
My location services has always been on and my stack widgets like news and weather rarely update, maybe once or twice a day at most. So having Location services turned on does not help me SE 2020.
Opening the widget can cause an update but that’s not how widgets are supposed to work
Ok thanks I figured that. Hopefully by the time this goes public they get widgets updating otherwise like you said what is the point. Might as well just open the app instead
I have no idea why Apple removes this feature cause I limited my music audio to a level that I could tolerate on Max volume through that setting. There was even a limit to stop users from changing this volume limit setting.
And I’m very responsible.
Yeah, the only widget that actually works correctly updating on my SE is the calendar. The rest are pretty worthless right now. I hope after a few more betas they get those fixed.
I had one Springboard reboot on beta 1, and nothing on beta 2. Same phone and not having the same issues. Is there an app running in the background using up memory?

I’ve been having issues with my PowerBeats Pro disconnecting from my iPad on iPadOS 14 b2.
I went from 5gb to 65gb of “other” just installing the beta.

Did they change the way apps open? I feel like mine now come in from the side. I don’t remember them coming to the forefront of the screen like a page turn almost.

Mine has been quite stable. My MacBook Pro had a random reboot yesterday, but my phone has been solid both on dev betas 1 and 2. Miscellaneous little bugs here and there, as one would expect, but so far nothing that's caused any real interruption to my work/life flow.

Tried a few.
Marley Liberate - No issue
Google Nest - No issue
Aomais Life - Intermittent disconnects
Hit and miss looks like.
Note: I am using Youtube Music and Play Music to test this.

They seem to come from the app location - or at least give an idication of it.
Sort of.

My AirPods randomly disconnect, but not often, couple times a day.
For me, it's fine now, just seemed to take time to settle down.

Not that I can tell. It always happens when I'm using an app (the app can vary).
The problem is that it is impossible for people to take care of theirselves.
Our hearing isn't linear. We are much more sensitive to high tones than we are to bass. But bass is responsible for a lot of emotion in the sound. Bass is also the hardest to produce so most manufacturers don't bother creating decent bass. The result is that we have no way of knowing how loud our speakers actually are. Our ears and brains are just not made for the crappy sounds the most cheap speakers produce. Do you know that the speaker on your phone produces over 90db when you put your phone on speaker during a phone call? That's the equivalent of standing next to the sound booth at a live concert!
Our hearing sensitivity also isn't constant. We are much more sensitive to sounds in the evening and during the night than we are during the day. Also, when you listen to sealed in-ear headphones your eardrum will stretch because of the sound pressure which impacts your sensitivity as well. Songs are recorded at different volumes. So when you keep adjusting the volume to a comfortable level, you might actually be increasing the volume over time.
Having said al this, it's also very difficult for Apple to know how loud the sound produced by your headphones actually is. All speakers have a different sensitivity as well. When played at a certain volume, one speaker might be producing 110db while another might only producing 90db. Also, all headphones are at different distance from your ear. An over-ear headphones need to produce louder sound to reach your ears receptors at the same level as in-ear headphones.
Apple only knows the sensitivity of their own headphones, but they are crappy anyways. So it might actually have been a useless feature.
The only way to take care of your ears is to buy a decent pair of headphones and don't listen for too long at a time.

Well said. You pretty much told me why the old “volume limit” feature was way better than whatever Apple’s new “hearing protection” feature is. With that volume limit, since it is systemwide, everywhere is below the level I set, regardless of headphone I use. With that new feature ugh, I‘d better pray my hand don‘t push volume rock too hard (or volume up area for future button-less phone).
I don't believe Apple will reintroduce that feature. Heaven help me.

Enjoying watching all of you adventurers leading the way.
Once this is resolved, or at least down to a few GB, I’ll be jumping on the rollercoaster
What's wrong with the "Reduce Loud Sounds" headphone setting? You can specify a decibel max. This, surely, is much better than some arbitrary slider.
Can someone else with a VPN validate that it works on cellular? I have Privacy Pro and found this morning that it only connects on WiFi. When I turn WiFi off, I can’t turn it back on? Is this new?
Neve mind. I had cellular data turned off. In an Idiot.

I experienced a few issues w/ Beta 1 like disappearing folders and a few widgets not working as they should. Beta 2 has been 10X worse.. every time I go to add or move a widget I not only lose 2 or 3 folders but the app tiles completely disappear as well. I'm forced to go find and retrieve them from the library (that isn't very well sorted anyway). It takes about 20 minutes to redesign my home screens as this happens 4 or 5 times during the process of reposition everything again. Also - weather widget doesn't update most of the time or when it does it's very slow. Shortcuts widget works sometimes and not others, usually a reboot solves that problem (but occasionally it turns on with app tiles missing, see my problem above). Can't wait for 3
