iOS 9.3 Beta 3 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[zackattack784]

Black screen when switching between apps using multitasking gesture on iPad Air 2. Yuck.

Now I have to wait at least another two weeks for this to be fixed. The joys of beta testing!

Same problem on iPad Pro. Already added it to the wiki.

The help text that should accompany the mobile data toggle has moved to the extra options sub section which is a mistake imo

Is Verizon wifi calling new?

No , I switched to Verizon the first of October 2015 and the WIFI calling option was already available in the iPhone 6s Plus settings, I turned it off because it was causing my cellular data to to get used up much faster than I liked. This Beta version more than likely fixes bugs with the WIFI calling issue causing the iPhone to use up your cellular data to fast, Apple was sued over this issue.

Thank god, the NC lag is gone again on iPhone 6 Plus.

ZigZag game still stuttering in 9.3 beta 3. It was 100% smooth prior to 9.3. Trust me, I played it a lot.

I found (thanks to someone else) that battery life was tied to an iCloud issue in 10.11.3. Upgrading to the 10.11.4 beta fixed my battery life. Went from draining my iPhone 6S Plus in less than a day back to pre-El Cap levels for me (since I didn't update until late January, I have a pretty good frame of reference there).

Interesting. Are there any iCloud issues pertaining to Windows OS?

Verizon WiFi calling hasn't been available on iPhones until now. They only made it available for some Android phones very late last year. Perhaps you are referencing VoLTE and not WiFi calling (in the case of VoLTE that was available for some time, even back with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones). Or maybe you are referring to WiFi Assist, which is fairly different from calling and all that.

You are confusing wifi calling with wifi assist. Wifi calling uses wifi instead of cellular when the cell signal is weak.

What you're talking about is wifi assist that uses cell data when wifi is weak.

The missing time in the status bar bug is annoying af.

Still waiting the News app to come but it only appears in icloud settings!

Welcome to beta software.

The missing time comes back after 2-10 seconds. You can also force it to come back sooner by launching an app.

Not sure how time missing for a few seconds could be that annoying to someone. Especially when they aren't forced to use the beta software. It's such a small issue that will no doubt be fixed in the next build.

iPhone 6 Plus is flying wow.

Installing to see if the bluetooth connection with my Garmin activity tracker has been fixed. Not getting my hopes up.

Hi. How did you with the update pairing with your Garmin? I'm waiting for success before I install.

iPhone 6 Plus is flying wow.

My iPhone 5s is flying too compared to iOS 9.2.1 or earlier. Super pleased.

I was afraid that Apple was slowing down this phone with updates (because iOS 9.0 beta 1 - iOS 9.2.1 have been laggy pieces of ****) but they've proved to me with this update that that's not the case.

Probably just as fast or slightly slower in some things than iOS 7.1.2 2 years ago if I can remember correctly.

Open Settings.Open Mobile/Cellular Data and scroll down the list of apps.Does it stutter?

I have noticed this for a while and it doesn't look any smoother after today's update.

I was at work when I posted that and I actually haven't had time to install as of yet. I'll probably take the same approach or just wait for final release.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but when you get a text on lock screen and you slide to open up messaging it goes to home screen and not messaging.

Anyone else?

 

[hojx]

Not sure if this has been in previous betas but when double-tapping on the split screen resizer it tries to change to Slide Over but it ends up just bouncing back.
