iOS 9.2 Beta 4?

[Knowlege Bomb]

A "cancer"? Really? Get a grip man.

I'm not sure I understand your post. Care to elaborate?

It is physically impossible to fix every single bug. Bugs that prevent use of the device are top priority. When you fix one bug, it usually creates another, thats just how software works. So because the majority of the bugs are aesthetic, I don't personally think it deserve top priority, until every single major bug is eliminated first.

I agree 100%. But you said it yourself, the majority of bugs listed are aesthetic. Wouldn't that indicate that the major show-stopping bugs have already been squashed? If so, wouldn't that mean the aesthetic bugs have moved up in priority?

I see a lot of people that are happy with the performance of the latest beta and saying it's ready for primetime. All I'm saying is they should take their time and shorten that list of bugs before they release. It's still pretty early in the beta cycle.

Comparing people's posts on an internet forum to a disease like cancer. Get a grip.

And for the record, while there are some users who input a series on non real world use commands into the iPhone to produce lag or glitches, the fact remains that iOS 9.0 and indeed 9.1 were not smoother than 9.2 for the BASIC animations, such as app opening/closing, Spotlight and the App Switcher.

However, to say that posts about lag are a "cancer" of the forum? I can only pray you've never seen a loved one rot away from the disease, otherwise you'd never make such a ridiculous comparison.

I don't think you are understanding the "cancer" analogy. The idea is, that once one person posts, it spreads, ie. like cancer. I lost my dad to cancer 8 years ago, I was only 15 years old. I watched him suffer for 2 years from colon cancer, but I do not agree with your post. It is merely an analogy. "Spreads like cancer" or "spreads like fire" are very, very common references.

We are not calling it a "cancer" of the forum, we are merely saying it spreads like "cancer" after one post.

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better.

For the record I lost three (yes, three) grandfathers and an aunt to cancer.

Beta 4 should come out tomorrow or Thursday (placing my bet on tomorrow.)

Apple sometimes releases OS X betas same day, day after or day before iOS betas. This week it looks like day before.

The fact OS X got a beta 4 is a good sign there will be beta 4 for iOS. 10.11.2 should ship final release to the public along side 9.2. So of OS X got a 4, iOS should be getting one here in a day or two as well.

Well by definition........ I dont believe he was comparing it in such a way as you think. See option two below. And that does fit all the lag discussions.

There are some problems with the new iPad Pro. I think Apple wants to fix this problems as well in a iOS 9.2 release.

I have an issue where loading the camera lags something TERRIBLE. or it locks up all together.. looks like a clean install for the GM.

 

[batting1000]

Most of the "bugs" in the beta 3 thread are wacky bugs that it you happen to or 3 functions in succession rapidly, something no one would do in real life, the bug occurs. That's not a major bug that needs to be addressed now just because someone figured out an unnatural combination or sequence of actions to force a glitch.

Another 2 or 3 are bugs continuing from iOS 9.1 and earlier (one mentions iOS8), not new bugs caused by 9.2. They may never be fixed or sometime who knows when. Doesn't mean 9.2 is buggy.

Another 2-4 are MINOR visual glitches or animation glitches; minor at best as they only bother the true .01% of OCD people.

The point is that Apple prides itself on offering consumers high quality services, software, and hardware. Obviously you can't expect them to fix every single bug, but you get the idea.

Gosh I hope you're right. I'm not desperate for a new beta but I would love to see one, especially for my iPad mini 2. App switcher and spotlight still are not at all pleasant to use. App switcher is absolutely leaps and bounds over 9.1 though. It's perfect sometimes, horrendous other times, little reason as to why. That gives me hope though, if it is perfect sometimes then it's bound to be possible to make it perfect all the time. All just depends on if Apple wants to take that step.

Yeah that sounds like an issue that needs a clean install to fix, no such issues here on any of my 9.2 devices. I did have messages freeze twice for like 5 or 10 seconds today though, which is weird. Never happened to me before. I don't keep many messages either and it was a pretty short thread.

Even the GM/final fixes bugs as its a newer built. Everyone has their panties in a bunch WAY too early here not even knowing what's coming next.

From what I've personally experienced thus far, and I only speak for myself, this third 9.2 beta runs as smooth as any iOS I've used so far. But then again, I'm not really a power user, either. I like it though.

 

[philipyoungg]

I just hope stutter bug on iOS 9 (5s and mini 2) fixed. It's unpleasant to scroll on Tapatalk, Pinterest, Pocket, Twitter, Feedly, and Evernote right now.

I've read somewhere in Macrumors that this issue happens on all iDevices because of TableView bug. Maybe Air 2 / 6s didn't experience this because of their raw processing power, but it's noticeable on 5s and mini 2 (worst offender).

I'm wondering if there will be another beta since beta 3 had a shorter build number similar to a public release. ....odd.

cant wait for the next release, along with all the same names turning on the waterworks about "lag"

 

[madara889]

I think Apple will drop final release today

Well I'm hoping it drops soon if only to get rid of my software update notification.

I'm on PB 3 but my settings have been telling me since last night that a software update is available.

Dont care as I lost hope the moment I saw the iPad Pro lag.Apple engineers are incompetent,worse than Google's

9.2 runs better than the iPad Pro's 9.1, I've done the comparison myself with my iPhone 6s Plus on 9.2 beta and a iPad Pro on 9.1 in the Apple Store

iPhones are always smoother than iPads, if you compare the same generation.

This wasn't true of the iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2. The Air 2 was smoother on stock iOS 8.

There is no lag to speak of on the 6S & Pro... All that remains is the ugly stuttering, that Apple engineers so far seem to be completely unable to tackle with successfully!

And that ends the theory of planned obsolescence...
