iOS 9.3 Beta 1 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[joelw135]

I updated to 9.3 beta 1 this morning and the trouble started. I am having a hard time pairing with Bluetooth. My Garmin Vivoactive wouldn't pair and everything else required many tries to pair until they worked. But not the Garmin. Anyone else having Bluetooth problems? Also while pairing the bluetooth icon was going from light to dark white. In the Bluetooth control panel I watched it go from connected to disconnected to connected then fail.

Hi! I just installed the public beta one and right after installing it, the WiFi and mobile data on my phone stopped working. Anyone else who is facing this problem?

iOS 9.3 on iPhone 5s is amazing, less stuttering, better performance, notification & control center finally fixed & finally I've seen such a great battery life, battery used to drain very badly when it reaches 20%-25% "even with wifi turned off" (it used to go from 20% to 1%), now with iOS 9.3, I left wifi turned on (it went from 21% to 17%). the only bug I see right now is when scrolling.

Hold the home button and the power button together until the phone restarts it self and you see the apple logo

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

I don't see night shift as a very cool feature, it's good but I don't think is the best of all features apple put into iOS 9. Some people won't even notice it's there after iOS 9.3 is out.

I tried that. No luck.

Did you try to restart the phone ? Which device are you having ??

I'm using an iPhone 5S. I also tried resetting my phone to factory settings. But the problem is still there.

It's a long time wanted feature by many and a top of the list reason a lot of people jailbreak still. So they could install f.lux, which this feature mimics.

Which device are u having? I heard this bug can be found mostly on iPhone 4s's. You can also search YouTube, you may get the fix.

Live wallpaper aren't working at the lock screen. I saw post about it and it happened to me as well. Anyway, I've reported it to Apple.
Anyone else have the same issue? I'm using 6S.

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

Oh really? I had no idea what this was.

I've been doing this for 3+ years. this is the worst I have seen it since iOS 7 beta.

Something probably isn't right with your particular install. I'm not experiencing any of the issues you said you're having. (iPhone 6)

Also you do not need to restore from a backup at all when downgrading off a beta to official release. Just download the 9.2 ipsw. In iTunes hold down option and click restore. Select the 9.2 ipsw and it will just install back to 9.2 off 9.3 beta and not touch any data just like if you were updating to a newer iOS. (And of course remove the profile before doing all this)

Live wallpaper on the lock screen works fine on my 6S.

It is an absolute shame that this statement has to be repeated over and over again each time a new beta is released. It's like people don't read the disclaimers they have to agree to in order to participate in the beta to being with.

That was me. @nordique suggested a hard reboot (home+power buttons), and after that mine was working again.

Scrolling in apps like Tapatalk and Facebook is stuttery like crazy

This just in, Facebook is a PoS app. I wouldn't be surprised if they did some of this on purpose like they did with Android and making their app crash to test loyalty.

 

[Richardgm]

App switcher is way to fast and twitchy, can't choose a different app until the animation has completely stopped.

Oh my god! It's unusable except to jump to the previously used app. Scrolling speed is a mess.

Yes that's correct but if you change the wallpaper to normal and change it back to live wallpaper, it won't work again.

Same problem here with my 6S+ pairing with my Vivosmart. Might go back to 9.2.

is the public beta stable enough to use until proper 9.3 version comes out? Should I go for it?

I haven't encountered any problems yet, and for the improvements it has introduced it would say it's totally worth it.

For me it's been just as stable as any iOS 9.x release. Plus the added benefits of the new features and performance improvements made in 9.3.

Each beta build should get better and better as they're released too (expect anywhere between 4-6 builds until it's officially released.)

Yep, can reproduce that. Changed wallpaper to still image, then back to a live one and it stopped working again. Well spotted!

Thanks for the responses.

So if i go for the public beta, can I revert back to 9.2.X when it gets released, or am I locked to the beta updates until the proper 9.3 releases? Will it mess up my IOS with junk files etc? One thing I hate is doing clean installs and having to go through importing everything back to my phone. I hate this thing.

Sorry for all the questions, but I am really excited with all these comments but I just got my 6s a month ago and I dont want to end up doing clean installs.

Thanks again.

You can't revert to 9.2/9.2.1 anymore , you will have to do a fully restore , or wait for 9.3 final release .
