iOS 9.3 Beta 1 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[vertsix]

How is control center fixed on 5s? I see no difference.

It's not fixed, but there's certainly an improvement.

After updating to 9.3 B1.1 the Developer 9.3 Beta Profile changed to the generic iOS 9 Beta Software Profile.

Edit... Now I'm not so sure. Could've sworn it said 9.3 Beta Profile before.

I installed that dev profile when it came out earlier in the week. It didn't have any iOS version in the profile name. Just said "iOS Beta Software Profile". Updating today to beta 1.1 still says "iOS Beta Software Profile", so still no version label in the profile name on mine.

Does anyone know about the bug where this screen flickered? Seems like it's fixed.

Hm, ok... Not sure where I thought I saw it then. Thanks.

The 9.2.1 and earlier profiles (and all public beta profiles) all said "iOS 9 Beta Software Profile". But since the 9.3 required a new profile for OTA on the dev build it was void of a version number for some reason.

I am on 9.2.1. When I check for updates it says there isn't one. I checked and my beta profile is gone. When I try to download the beta profile, I get:

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #171.603819b8.1452814733.41330a40

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Anyone seeing any noticeable changes to the 1.1 update? Haven't seen much discussion, but was surprised to just see an update outta the blue. Btw FWIW, the developer iOS beta profile does not list a version number as some have mentioned above.

I did. It went away after hard reset while Bluetooth was off.

Tried that without success

 

[Anonomation]

I'm confused. Just updated to the 9.3 Public Beta and Nightshit isn't even an option.

1.1 is a bug fix update to beta 1; it fixes the locationd crash on devices without the motion co-processor, and it fixes the Startup / Boot loop issue on some devices that were trying to get to update to 9.3. Also this release matches the Public Beta, this is evident as now the build number appears in the Feedback Assistant app.

It's limited to 64-bit devices.

That's actually disappointing. I'm not planning on upgrading in a long time. Oh well.

Can you touch apps mid-animation again on the springboard? Or do you still have to wait till the spring/fade animation is 100% complete?

It is still the same as 9.0, 9.1, 9.2.... My only issue with iOS 9, still not "fixed" but more and more getting used to it.

For me the power button ends the call but not if I am on speaker. Annoying...

I can confirm this too. Was on Bluetooth connected to car and pressed the power button to put the screen to sleep and it ends the call every time.

I'm just pumped that spotlight is perfect on my iPad mini 2 now.

However I've had this happen twice now, I will slide to unlock and literally nothing happens. Then all of a sudden the blurring goes away and the passcode screen finally comes up. Another time I slid to unlock and there was nothing, I could just slide back and forth and there wasn't any passcode entry area. Didn't get time to screenshot the blank passcode screen but I'm sure you get the jist.

Scrolling this forum with the split keyboard open used to show some stutter. It appears to be quite a bit smoother now with 9.3 b1 on the air 2.

Performance wise this is the best update so far, but my battery life seems to take a great hit. I usually get 8-9 hours of usage with my 6+ but now its down to 4-5 hours and it even drains like hell while I'm sleeping. Still worth the update

Siri listens and does not respond... anyone see this?

i get it sometimes on my 6 too, just another unlock bug (happened before over time in betas), when it happens press the power button to relock the screen then try again, always works on second try

I definetly did. There is nothing unusual about it.

Anyone notice when you have night shift all the way to warm and turn on and off the screen it flickers?

This has been the buggiest of all of the iOS 9 betas I have used. And I have used them all. My messages app literally froze any time I opened up a certain conversation that had a video I had just sent recently. I had to kill the app multiple times and reboot my phone entirely to get it working again. Also, this beta has dropped every phone call I have had today (which has been over 5) due to either me launching an app during the call, pressing the power button, unlocking the damn phone, turning off my car and switching from Bluetooth to speaker, or my phone would just randomly decide to reboot itself.

Battery has been absolutely awful, launching apps has caused it to stutter or not respond. It's been a hot mess!!

If I understand correctly, in order to down grade, I need to remove the beta profile, and then restore? What if I only have a beta 3 backup? Can I still downgrade and restore my phone to backup?

So far..... I'm experiencing the exact same.

Scrolling in apps like Tapatalk and Facebook is stuttery like crazy

Well it is a beta 1. You should have expected this prior to installing it. Wait till beta 3 or 4 if you want a near perfect experience
