My battery life is amazing so far: 7,5h Usage with 40 hours of standby and 52% left on the iPad Air 2.

7.5h is amazing? ipads used to last for 10h or more, they sell us that for every new ipad announced. In fact ipad mini 1 reviews showed 12h usage. Standby consumption is minimal

Exactly one year ago I updated my ipad from 7.1 to 8.1. I'm still regretting...

Maybe you should reread what you quoted. 7.5 hours of usage, 40 hours of standby with 52% remaining. Thats 15+ hours of usage, 80+ hours of standby.

So yes, if they are stating 10 hours and you can pull 15+ hours, that is considering amazing. I get about 12-13 hours of heavy use on my Air 2.

This is extremely annoying, I heard the solution is to delete the contact then re-enter them, what a pain, I hope they fix this.
Did you try that with one? Curious if that actually solves it. As stated if you just look at the recents it shows which number the call came from. So that helps a little but I like the blue highlight in the i screen myself but I suppose the recents screen saves a step/click if you think about it.

Ups... I didn't read that 52%... Reading too fast is starting to be a problem for me... :/

that is an exaggeration and you know it.
you were never 'waiting' for every single animation on your phone whilst feeling stupid that your friends were zipping along on their androids.
that never happened, and you know it.

That happens. The number of mistap because of an unfinished animation is starting to make my use of my phone painful.


Anyway. My News app can't fetch new stories with that beta, does anybody have the same problem?
 
Anybody else on ATT noticing that the option to do Wi-Fi calling on other devices when they are NOT nearby and on the same network is no longer present? Seems to have converted back to the previous requirement of them being on the same network, for me.
 
Anyone know if the battery meter percentage jumping around is fixed.

A DFU or recalibrate does not fix this. Its just the meter calculating on a 5-10 minute delay when charging

Not a major issue

This is terrible. I feel stupid seeing my Android friends using their phones very quickly, and having to wait every single animation to finish before interacting with my phone.
Your post made me laugh! I suppose I feel stupid having to watch my Android friends having to constantly charge their phones and having them wonder out loud why it is that they can't upgrade their phones to the latest flavor of marshmallow or what the latest flavor of cookie, cake or pizza Android's are currently running. By the way, I'm on a iPhone 6 and it is running 9.2 Beta 3 splendidly, no stutters, no micr-stutters, no ghostly animations just smooth all the way around and fantastic battery life to boot! Maybe on of your friends can lend you one of their Android phones from their collection while you are waiting for your iPhone to render those glacial animations?

Don't be rude. Nexus phones are always up to date, and have a pretty good battery life. And yes, I feel stupid because I spent so much time saying iOS was the most powerful mobile OS, and now I feel like it's no longer the case. I stick with my iPhone because I believe it has the best ecosystem (apps, accessories) and support, but please let me say that those interaction blocking animations make the navigation in iOS slower than the navigation in the latest Android versions with recent phones.
 
Damn my iPhone is performing really bad.Cant get more than 4 hours of battery life and on top of that this irritating lag.Screw this ****
Radon: I've noticed your continued annoyance with your iPhone. Time to explore greener pastures with an Android? You just might find yourself happier constantly trying to upgrade to the latest flavor of marshmallow or whatever the latest flavor only to find out that you can't because of any number of excuses. Been there done that! The iPhone world is so much better!

When do these jumps happen?

Not being rude here my friend, just replying to your blanket statements. I don't have the foggiest idea what is wrong with your iPhone (very likely is faulty iOS install or upgrade) but rest assured there are many, many iPhone users that are very happy with their experience with iOS 9.x. As far the Nexus line goes, I happen to have a friend with the latest Nexus phone and regrets every minute he has to use it. He can't wait to come back to an iPhone...there is just the matter of that silly contract! However you are absolutely correct in saying that iPhone provides the best ecosystem of all options out there.

Did anyone else noticed that they enabled autocorrect on physical/Bluetooth keyboards? Not sure when they added it.
 
Except for like 1% of people who post here actually contribute to something useful. This is as good as it gets this season. (I'm actually an user from more than 5 years).

If someone knows of another forum to discuss with at least more interested and "pro" people, I would really like to know. This thread is a sad, useless Wall of Lamentations.

What... So I've just paid to get my UDID registered for no reason? I thought only GM's could be installed without UDID registration?
At least, if your UDID is registered, you can do a "clean" install without worrying Apple brick your device.
Otherwise, no serious consequences.

That's not an issue anymore. He did pay for no reason. Apple did this as well to stop sales of UDID.
 
Anyone know how to fix the update bug? I keep getting the notification to reupdate to beta 3 even though I already installed it.
 
I don't know how anyone could be happy. Satisfied or content maybe, but not happy. The 6s is far more powerful than it needs to be from a hardware perspective, yet performance still visibly suffers even when it comes to the most basic of tasks like swiping through your home screens. The stutter in beta 2 was unacceptable. My 2013 Moto X was just as "smooth "most of the time and it was underpowered compared to its peers. So yeah, I'm not very happy.

Well why don't you try launching and using third party apps instead of swiping left and right to catch stutters? If that's all you care about then stop buying expensive phones because clearly that's not what you need them for. One iOS advantage that Google can NEVER catch up is the third party app experience. Everything just runs so much better on iOS. But hey, what do I know? Any opinion that praises Apple is unacceptable nowadays anyway.

Not nowadays, since ever when they screw up.
