iOS 9.2 Beta 2 Bug Fixes and Improvements.

[TL24]

Nope, 5S

Yeah I'm getting real bad delays on my 6S Plus, only real issue I've experienced so far but hey it's a beta for a reason so no big deal.

 

[canesalato]

I actually like the new app switcher when reduce motion is "on" more than the regular one.

 

[eyeseeyou]

Anyone else seeing new emails appearing only in the "unread" folder and not the main inbox?

 

[scjr]

Makes me wonder when Apple will fix all these lag issues.

All iOS 9 betas, 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2, 9.1 and now the first two betas of 9.2 have already been released with no signs of improvement.

It's ridiculous than even the newest iPhones are performing that poorly as you described.

Haha!

There has been significant improvement in fluidity, plus iOS 9 is much more stable than iOS 8 ever was. You just choose to ignore the fluidity improvements.

My 6+ and Air 2 are running beautifully on iOS 9.2 b2 and much, much better than any iteration of iOS 8.

Beta 2 is so fluid it's not even funny. This **** feels flawless

 

[Act3]

flawless ? yea apple should just stop making it better .

**** no issues here buddy

Maybe some progress, but its not up to where 8.4.1 was for fluidity and responsiveness, try comparing devices hand in hand with one running ios 8.4.1

**** no issues here buddy

Same on the iPad Air 2. Not had any performance issues at all with this thing all the way from iOS 9 beta 1. It might be due to starting with a clean install.

Public Beta 2 is out.

I didn't have this behavior on 9.0 releases actually, this has been since 9.2 improving the frame rate. In Portrait you see improvement but the Landscape is REALLY bad in 9.2 (worse than 9.1) But yes it annoys me because the GPU on the 6s Plus is MORE than capable, its on par/stronger than a Retina Macbook in GPU and CPU <_< So blur shouldn't be causing the drops. Apple needs to optimize because I can understand the 6 Plus being underpowered but the A9 6s Plus is NOT the same.

Public Beta 2 is out.

Is the download taking much longer than usual for anyone else?

 

[eXoBrute]

Anyone else having a problem with side loading projects/apps through Xcode? It installs it correctly but the option under general settings to allow my developer profile is no longer there. I've tried restarting both my phone and Mac multiple times. Installed the public beta profile and the profile option showed up but yet when I try through Xcode my developer profile never appears.

So far this is the only major issue I've notice besides the common lag.

stuttering mess on air 2 in the mail app with split keyboard open and switching from landscape to portrait

 

[Michael Goff]

My 6+ multitask cards don't scroll right unless I have reduced motion off. Weird. UI seems smoother with it off as well. How does that make sense?

Video by @RebornProphet. iPad Air 2. It can be viewed in 60fps.

That's smooth and it's how my iPad Air 2 is running on b2.

 

[MarcusCarpenter]

Can someone post a video to the new task switcher with reduce motion on

 

[xdexina]

Can someone post a video to the new task switcher with reduce motion on

It's on the 9.2 1st beta topic! Somehow yesterday the topic was updated to have both 1st and 2nd 9.2 betas, but they changed their minds later. I'll try to find the link

update: here it is

I think some folks are looking for a fluidity utopia that they will never find. This myth that 8.4.1 was somehow a fluidity machine is interesting, when it lagged horribly with Apple Music playing.

There were glitches in 8.4.1 as well, like Safari was a crash/reload machine and crashes in general were more more prevalent in iOS 8. This is not the case for me in iOS 9. I do not miss iOS 8 at all. I really understand wanting iOS 9 to be as perfect as possible, but folks dismissing every build as some sort of failure is totally unrealistic.

iOS 8.4.1 is (still) faster than 9.2beta2 on most iOS devices, but, as you said, iOS9 is probably more stable.

It's not. At least on iPad Air 2 it's not. Far from it. But progress is progress and there's definitely been slight progress in 9.2 betas vs 9.1 final. Not enough for my liking, but it's going in the right direction.

Anyone needing proof that iPad Air 2 still struggles with frame drops need only open the wish list in the App Store (assuming there's items listed there) and navigate to the homescreen via the app switcher. It drops plenty of frames in the resulting animation.

Hopefully fixed before long. As long as it keeps progressing in the right direction, I'll be happy.

I can't reproduce this on my Air 2, but definitely report it.

I have 8.4.1 in one device and 9.2 beta on another device. There's a reason the one device is still on 8.4.1, neither device uses apple music. Safari on an Air 2 using iOS 8.1 wasn't a crash reload machine. lol. Air 2 ran 8.1 pretty darn well when it was released. Don't recall many complaints about performance on the Air 2 with 8.1, most complaint threads were about sound vibration and some screen issues if you pressed too hard on the back.

I can reproduce this one, but it doesn't happen always. When it happens it is quite ugly to see.
Nice catch

Well said, it is moving in right direction..
