Revert back to 8.4 if you can't deal with bugginess.
Actually I can deal with the bugginess, I am interested in knowing if these are common issues or they are being only experienced by me. I've been a been a Beta tester for a while and know this is completely normal. Also maybe there are somethings that are not bugs but instead thing I don't know how to solve.

Report the bugs to Apple using the Feedback app. That's why they want public beta testers. Otherwise, it's actually pretty stable for a beta. It's expected to have new apps and features that are buggy.
I've been doing that, but are this problems only happening to me? Do you have problems with spotlight, do you get every siri suggestion, Can I handle my news subscriptions over in the cloud?

Thanks
 
Found a new bug or I don't know how to use it now. When using handoff, my Mac does show what I'm doing on the iPhone but on the iPhone I can't find what I am doing on the mac. Should it appear on the multitasking window as always?
 
Is Beats 1 not working for anyone else on PB 1? It loads but doesn't play anything. Same thing on OS X El Capitan PB 1.

I don't know if this is an issue that other people have seen. Whenever I go into the Wallet app, it seems that my iPhone's display brightness shoots up close to the max. Anyone else see this?
 
Is anyone having problems with the Google Photos app in the new public beta of IOS 9 on an iPhone? When I open up the app, none of the picture are visible. The box is there to show there is a picture, but none of them show the picture. I've tried everything I can think of - delete app and reinstall....delete app, force reboot, then reinstall...nothing works, and now, since I've reinstalled it, pics still don't show up, but also don't backup anymore.

I also have the iOS 9 public beta on my iPad Air 2, and no issues there...the Google Photos app works just like it did on the iPad with iOS 8.4.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

This has been the case since Passbook/Wallet was first released in iOS 6. I believe it's to make sure that scanners can read barcodes properly when necessary. If the screen is too dim, it make it difficult for scanners to scan barcodes.

Suddenly my news app is completely dead on iPad, worked just fine but now every time I open it it crashes after a second

Oh really? I've never really had a need to use Passbook/Wallet and was just looking around all the system apps after getting the Public Beta. Didn't realize that this was a feature.
 
Still crashes for me. Anyone else having this issue? I choose a lot of sources from the list.
My iPad app can't be used, in the iPhone app I added lots of sources and on the For You tab only shows me the 6 first sources that came as default (ESPN, NYT CNN etc.)
 
Have they removed the possibility to define the number of notifications per app in the notification list? The email client shows a large amount rather than the 5 I'm used to.

I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned this. This sucks :mad:! There are many apps on my phone I have 10 or 1. I just don't like the default for some apps.
 
Notes application has the addition of indent and outdent options.

Do iPhones have the track pad thing on the keyboard? Did it in past betas? Thought they did, just got the beta installed on my phone and can't seem to get it.
 
iPhone 6 isn't dropping frames in the weather app anymore!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhh I've been waiting since iPhone 6 launch day for this moment.
 
Battery life is shocking as mentioned in your original post. Battery life / performance on Beta 2 was amazingly better than iOS 8.4. Getting constant Jetsamevent logs with no third party apps installed. So it seems there is a memory leak. Search page on Beta 2 was working perfectly fine but now its broken. You have covered most of the stuff in original post. UI issues can be resolved like battery setting icons etc but why break something when it was in good working order. I understand its a beta program but they should be progressing forward.

This is what sometimes happens with betas. Newer betas are not necessarily better than the previous ones.
 
Another bug, weather app. The first characters on the time and day are cut in half. iPhone 6, anyone else having this issue?

I don't have it on my version. I believe the first post of this thread notes that it was disabled in this release for what ever reason... Hopefully they bring it back.

Wifi calls have ceased to function for me since installing the Public beta.

Can't find anything about that in the release notes, so is anyone else experiencing this issue before I fill out the feedback form?
 
I have a weird issue with Proactive on the iPad 3 running Beta 3 (spare iPad for testing)

Proactive doesn't seem to be 'Enabled', I have spotlight search but not proactive, I can't even swipe to the right on the home screen to see it. In settings I only have "Spotlight Search" not "Search". I'm just thinking if it's to do with the fact that it's not supported on the iPad 3 or that it's US only at the moment.

Can anyone help clear this up?

Thanks!
