On my i6 only 2 apps keep coming back on background refresh. Dropbox and Facebook. On all others the toggle seem to work but I don't know if the process still runs.

I think they're still on regardless of the position of the toggle. They all show up in my Battery logs.

Here's part of the problem: background refresh is completely turned off but my apps are still loading in the background. No wonder the battery is taking a hit.

That sucks. The very least they could do was provide the option for the low power mode to automatically turn on when it reaches a certain percentage.
They do. When you hit 20% and 10% the pop that tells you there's only X amount of battery left also gives you the option to switch on low power mode.

Ok, but it gives me the option to switch or does it switch automatically and just inform me about this?

Annoying bug that happens about 30-40% of the time:
when phone is locked (6 plus) and I press the home button to turn it on, it activates Siri. Not a long press mind you, just a quick tap. If I press the power button, it shows the power down screen. Press power button again to turn off screen, press once more to activate 'slide to unlock' and put in code.

I'm really frustrated by that one.

Honestly, haven't come across any other major ones yet.

when your device goes low on power, it will inform you this and suggest you open power reserve mode.
However, at least in this beta, iOS will never automatically change your system into power reserve mode.

My battery log only shows HomeScreen for 10 minutes ... I can assure I haven't just been staring at the clock ^^
This is a known issue, i think. I see this either. Just use longer, maybe one day, and you will see the battery using static goes normal.
PS: shaking mouse to highlight it is really handy but really useful.

Something called "CCCWidget" has just appeared on my homescreen, I can't seem to download or install it, it's just greyed out.

I have no idea what it is. I've searched the app center for it and I can't find it.. and yet, there it is, sitting on my homescreen

Could I ask what wallpaper you using there? Looks great.

Ok, thanks. I hope they will add the possibility to make that change automatically at a certain battery level.

It should. Consider a bug within.
This beta is a "real" beta.
PS: Turned perfectly on iPhone 6 plus, except that new music app.

Is it supposed to happen on the iPhone 5s too? It would be real cool ti have landscape, at least basic, unlike 6+ with apps that can use that functionality. I would like to see that icons become landscape, windows become landscape... in switcher at least.

I hope they could add it, so users don't need to take much about worrying if their device is in power reserve mode or not.
Well, the keyboard on landscape is not so good to use. :( in iOS 9.

As long as iOS 9 has been jailbroken, you can use the power of cydia to do it.
I think Apple may not add landscape use on iPhone except all pluses.

For some reason, my entire Taylor Swift playlist in Spotify (I ripped the albums from CD and imported them) have turned into piano only versions.

No idea if this is ios 9 or not, though. I can't see how it would be

Yeah the same problem for me, Facebook keeps loading in background even when I completely close the app and with background refresh turned off.

So apps will keep running in the background, even we "close" it in multitasking interface?
Oh...
