[SunnySharma__]

Cool thanks, good to hear that.

Anyone with issues making calls over Bluetooth on their car stereo? Sorry if it's been asked and answered.

 

[Prabas]

Yes, there are issues with bluetooth.

Yesterday I experienced a few issues:

• When paired to phone, audio is still playing through speakers (I had to to go bluetooth menu and click on my bluetooth headphones)
• When making a call, there is no option to choose audio routing, though audio is going through bluetooth headphones
• When on call, you used to be able to lock the device and continue the call. Right now it ends the call instead of locking the phone.

Battery activity is somewhat sketchy.

This release is buggy, but it doesn't break basic functions.

ios 9.3 is definitely not faster than 9.2 on 5S , it is even slower

Prior to the 9.3 beta, I noticed iCal would always glitch when I tried to change one of the alerts—it would change both to the new alert, and I would have to keep changing the second one back, which would change the first one, etc., until finally I had two different alerts. Very annoying, has anyone else had this problem? Anyway, it seems to have gone away with 9.3.

Also—and please tell me if this is an old change—now when I pull down and release a new incoming text from the alert thing, Messages no longer displays a badge showing a new message. In other words, viewing and dismissing it from the pull-down marks the message as read.

It's slower on an iPod touch 6 also. Especially the time it takes to go from unlock screen to home screen.

Does Apple Music actually sync correctly?

Anytime I add a song to my playlists, they take a day to appear on the other device.

Any report of performance on iPhone 5?

 

[coolsean20]

Bear in mind that iOS is also used on iPads too. Landscape use is not alien to iPad users.

Yeah, and even when you rotate spotlight on the iPads, it's still choppy. My iPad Air 2 is, at least...

Not having the Bluetooth issues some are reporting with power button cutting off call if on BT headset? Or switching back to phone or BT?

does exactly the same with my Plantronics M70. It's slightly annoying as i was in the habit of pressing the power button as soon as the call was connected with my headset and then putting the phone in my pocket. The first day i was on the beta i kept cutting calls off... LOL this should be fixed though, especially as it wasn't an issue in 9.2.1. is there a "workaround"?????

some apps are quicker with 9.3, others are slightly slower, most are the same. good going for a beta i think.

hummmm.... Health seems definitely strange... Besides not having it translate to portuguese in these build... Hearth Look have a 300 Max number on the graph, beside my maximum value ever being 120bpm... Has anyone else seeing this?

The positive sides, are the performance on iPhone 6 plus! I almost lost hope on getting back the performance... but finally the CC, the notification center and special the multitasking performance are enhanced! what a relief. On the con side, the scrolling somethings lags a bit, where it previously didn't

What Apple does is tweak a version of iOS for a year and when it's finally stable then a new and buggy iOS version comes out. So I'd vote for A.

I'd also vote for A. I don't really care about new features as much as a fluid, solid, consistent experience. That's all I'm asking for in iOS 10. New features are fine, but they're not a top priority for me personally.

Erm, yes they are listening. Oh and if you're fed up with iOS, please, feel free to switch to Android. We won't miss you.

They're listening? Then tell me why all of the feedback I've sent to them (either through Bug Report or the Feedback app in public betas) has essentially been ignored. Or why bugs that I've seen occur since iOS 7 (and have reported) still aren't fixed 2 years later. And I'm not even considering switching to Android. iOS is clearly superior, and I'm happy to live in Apple's ecosystem (I own an iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, and Apple TV). It's just that it would be nice if they'd take the time to clean up these oversights, rather than go halfway towards cleaning it up and then resetting most of their progress by releasing the next x.0 revision.

I think an old song quote will apply here: "you think this song is about you"

You understand they probably get THOUSANDS of bug reports likely every single day right?

This isn't about you, there's finite number of people working on iOS at Apple, and a likely a long long laundry list of items in order of priority that needs to be fixed.

A tiny stutter is likely WAY WAY WAY at the bottom of that long list of "bugs"

I figured as much. And it's a shame really, because stutter used to be much higher on their 'need to fix' list than it is now.

There are bugs causing reboots. I think those take higher priority than stutter.

 

[rmadera]

Either because they aren't important enough to look at straight away or they aren't issues in the first place.

I'm not saying you have the following issues below but it's all I hear and it's ridiculous.

"Oh look the App Switcher is only 59 FPS, it's totally unacceptable."

"Control Centre lags like hell when Siri is activated."

People are taking the "lag" issues waaaaaay too seriously. If you have an iPhone 4, it's time to upgrade. You cannot expect new hardware to run old software, it's not gonna happen.

I don't have an iPhone 4. I have a 6s Plus and an iPad Air 2. So the latest iPhone, and the latest 9.7-inch iPad, just in case you didn't know

 

[FatPuppy]

I ve noticed that apps like Battery Doctor don t clean the app caches anymore.

Well now I know. Tell me, what are the issues you've been having that Apple hasn't fixed for two years?

 

[rmadera]

Just to name a few. I actually resubmitted these (some last year, as you can see) in the hope that they would get fixed. No luck.

The last one for Safari isn't a bug. It's turning translucency off when it goes grey and the app view closes And turning it back on once it launches.

The other two are seriously not going to be a priority. I have much larger bugs that they have fixed. About 90% is what they've fixed for me. 30 reports just for iOS 9.x+ They definitely fix bugs. Just not nitpicky stuff.

So this is how it's supposed to look. Got it...

If by 'sane' you mean 'non-detail oriented' then yes, you're absolutely right.

That happens a lot on my 6S.

Huh. Not what I'm seeing. I stand corrected on that. What device do you have?

And those are barely trivial visual glitches at best, with there likely being plenty of more important things to focus on, it's not surprising those might not get much attention. Reality of pretty much any software, especially large software, and in particular something as large and complex as an OS.
