Yeah, I've been getting this. I think it's related to my problems with sharing photos and videos that have been taken and uploaded to the iCloud photo library. If I duplicate the image, I can modify the dupe.
Sometimes you end up in a dark room in the middle of the day and having the more reddish cast on the screen is easier on the eyes.
I don't think this is the right thread to bring up that topic. Why not start a new one or join an existing thread?
Problem? Seems you have battery to last a lifetime. Don't reboot.
ended up having to reboot
unfortunately the case wasn't charging my iPhoneI found a "hacky" way to get cellular data working for apps on T-Mobile with iOS 9.3b2, so I thought I'd share.
The first thing you'll want to do is download
Unlimited Free VPN by betternet - Best Proxy VPN for Wifi Hotspot Security | Access Sites and Protect Privacy by Betternet Technologies Inc.
https://appsto.re/us/q-nB4.i
I've tested out a few VPNs for this, but for some reason this is the only one that would work. Next, you'll need to disable LTE and use their 4G network. After that, you'll need to open the app and install their profile.
After the profile is installed, you can try starting the VPN in app, but it always fails for me. If it fails, open Settings / VPN. Near the bottom under Personal VPN, make sure Betternet VPN is checked, then tap the toggle under Personal VPN. You'll want to make sure this is on every time you want to use an app that is broken with cellular data for T-Mobile. Let me know if this works for others... Not quite sure why it works for me.

Has anyone else experienced a weird camera bug where the camera becomes non-functional? I'll open the camera app (or any app that uses the camera), the screen will either be frozen on a blurry (unfocused) screen or it will be completely black. Force quitting the app doesn't seem to help at all, and the camera will simply be unusable until I do a a hard reboot. Once I reboot, it will work for a little bit, but then it will eventually stop working altogether. This happened to me about a month ago (I don't remember whether I was running beta software at that time or not), but it seemingly went away for a while until about a week ago.
I'm running iOS 9.3 public beta 2, so I'm not sure if this is a software related bug or something hardware related with my camera. I know I can just roll back to the latest stable release, but I just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue first to get a sense of whether this is likely hardware-related. Thanks in advance!

Anyone else having MMS issues? I'll get MMS messages in a group chat... 6 or 7 hours later. So, for example, a group of friends will text about going out one night and I won't get messages until the next morning.
I don't know if this is just a T-Mobile thing (MMS has acted up in the past with them) or a PB 2 issue. I have had MMSes work fine on 9.2.1.

It's a carrier thing. I have a group message with T-Mobile, Verizon, and ATT people in a group and we sometimes get delayed mms. It's better so text thru iMessage but too bad not everyone has an iPhone.
Urgh. Well, thanks for the verification. I've found using groupme is a great substitute -- but for some friends who do organizing on the fly it's annoying to miss 20+ messages until the next day (or at 5am).
If your issue only started once you installed 9.3 beta 2 then it's most likely tied to the various other issues 9.3 beta 2 has brought to T-Mobile from the carrier version update (23.5.4)
It's likely next week when beta 3 is released that these issues are fixed.
I did a fresh install of 9.3 beta 2 and that was a bad decision on my part. The fresh install is less responsive than how it was before. It's WAY more laggy (iPhone 6+) and the photos app still says "Downloading..." at the bottom of my Snapchat album (figured that's what is draining the battery). That's the whole reason I did a fresh install but the fresh install didn't fix that. Just made everything worse. Ugh.
Anyone else think that for the Weather 3D Touch shortcuts, they should include the current temperature next to the city names instead of just those random black dots? I submitted that as an enhancement request. Hopefully they do it
I'm having issues sending or receiving a group messages where there is a non iPhone user in the group. If I text someone that is iMessage, it works fine. If I test someone that is not iMessage, it works fine. If I text a group of people that are all on iMessage, it works fine. However, if there is a group of people where there is a mix of iMessage and non iMessage, it fails to send unless I reboot the phone completely. Upon reboot, it will send successfully once. However, once it sends once, it then stops working, and I'm not able to send or receive from that group (until I reboot again). Only started happening on 9.3b2. The other day when this happened, I received a group message (that had both iMessage and non iMessage in it) from someone and it came in fine. I tried to respond, and it failed repeatedly. Had to reboot. Then tried to resend after reboot, and it worked. After that, no responses and nothing came back. Got home later and found out from my wife (who was also part of the group text, but is not running 9.3B2) that there were 5 more messages from the group that she got, yet I never received.
I am also on TMobile too, with an iPhone 6S Plus.
Okay, here's my experience with this beta. Recently I bought 6s Plus and the first thing I did was install this beta. I spent a week with it and I thought that everything was fine. There were some small issues, like Touch ID not working the first time on some occasions. I got two more hours of battery life with Plus than I used to get with the regular 6, that seemed okay, so I had no idea how stable releases were performing on 6s Plus.
Yesterday I installed 9.2.1, because iOS kept showing me that I had 0 bytes of free space left, which I knew was incorrect. When I connected my iPhone to iTunes, it showed that I had around 4GB left. I hope that 9.2.1 is going to fix this issue. I have no idea what is causing this.
After a day I noticed that battery life is somewhat better than beta's, I used to get 10 hours of light usage and right now I have 6 hours and 13 mins with 45% left. I had to setup my iPhone as new, so I had to download lots of apps, setup everything, download lots of music from Apple Music for offline use and etc. I think that battery is much better right now than it used to be.
What I can say after a day is that 3D Touch is choppy, at least when pressing on home-screen icons.

Is there a fix for calendar in-app notifications for invites replies?

Is this a new 'feature' or a bug? Why is the range of my heart rate recording in the Health app ranging up to 300bpm?? I've never once got it up to that high. It's annoying as I can't really see properly which days were good/bad days without going into the detail of it.
Can I change this?

Also having two other issues:
1. If someone calls and I don't answer it, it shows as (2) missed calls from that person in the recent calls list, and when you click on the details, it says they were both at the exact same time.
2. I've been getting some notifications late related to calls/voicemail. For example, I'll receive a call, and actively decline the call. Everything seems to be fine, but then randomly a couple hours later, it'll all of a sudden show a missed call from that person on the lock screen notifications page, saying I missed a call from that person at the exact time they called earlier and I declined the call. I've had similar cases with voicemail where someone will call, and I'll let it go to voicemail, and I see that they left a voicemail in the Phone app (red 1 over the voicemail icon), yet a couple of hours later, I'll get a notification on the lock screen suddenly of a new voicemail from that person, showing the time they left it earlier.
It seems that these all related to calls that are missed/declined.
Anyone else running into this?

It's a bug, you can see your max heart rate was 138. I'm experiencing the exact same bug.
