Siri won't provide audio feedback :/

Honestly the amount of trouble this time around just doesn't seem worth it on the beta. I'll just hang out on 8.4 till the public or iOS 9b4.

Anyone using beta 3 with watch OS 1.0.1? I want to put iOS 9 on my phone but I'm a bit worried about my watch.

Not too impressed with battery life so far. Currently at 72% with 5hrs 32mins since last charge. I think Beta 2 had better battery performance than Beta 3.

Alright after settings everything back up after the Reset All Settings, everything seems much more stable. I mean, much, MUCH more stable. Working pretty good now.
Glad to see this trend. If everything goes more stable when beta moves on, that would be just perfect.

Not trying to be an @ss but this has been asked multiple times, even in the Apple Watch sub forum. To answer your question, iOS 9 B3 works fine with with WatchOS 1.0.1.

Continuity over Cellular is definitely iOS 9 and T-Mo only right now. I'm not talking getting phone calls on your Mac, I'm talking being able to receive phone calls and SMS messages when your phone isn't on Wi-Fi, i.e. you can be on LTE and your Mac will still get the phone call. See for yourself.
I'm guessing you're still not getting it. I have an LTE iPad. I have an LTE iPhone. When I hit the road, I turn on Personal Hotspot on my iPad, then connect my iPhone to that generated network. I own several VZW LTE accounts, so I don't care about data.

On the road, I use my iPad for a huge nav system. When a call comes in, I can take it on my iPad - which is the wifi hotspot that facilitates "Continuity". Q.E.D. - and not T-Mo only, and I've been doing this since the late betas of iOS 8, almost a year now, and covered in my plan without hacks or tweaks.

Is it me or has the fonts changed in the Clock (alarm) app?

(posted earlier, but didn't get any replies)
I think it should be changed with whole system. I cannot notice significant font difference.

I had to do a reboot for Siri to start doing the audio feedback again. Works great now.

Are these new? -

1. You can delete individual entries in the recent calls tab on the Phone app by swiping to the left.

2. Health app - Swiping left on the Dashboard items reveals further details about the item. E.g. swiping the "Steps" graph will show you more info/settings for that data.
Not new. This is already available in previous version.

Still too long for me. Should be 1 minute at most, ideally 20-30 seconds.
But in my opinion, 2minutes is fairly enough to read almost everything you want to read on screen. 20 or 30 seconds is a little bit too short. Maybe Apple can consider adding an option. :)

Never seen this notification with that icon after the event had already started.



And my battery has been comparable to Beta 2 on my 6 Plus.
Why your screenshot includes a music app icon in left bottom corner?

OK, don't connect your iPhone to a Hotspot network (which functions as a Wi-Fi network) and tell me if it works.
