Anyone have a good Experience with the new beta on the 6 plus . I am on the beta 1. Beta 2 was terrible on the 6 plus for some reason even after a fresh install , so I went back to beta 1 . Is this version running smoothly on beta 3 ?

Worse than 9.2 but better than 9.3 beta 2. Still way too fast. Clock on home screen missing on air 2 as well. And selecting the blurred app on the app switcher bug is fixed on beta 3.
I don't get it , so far that makes three different variations in speed since they changed the App switch with iOS 9.0. Either figure it out or don't change the damn app switcher.
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.
Thats because you're only supposed to tap it once. ;) it's doing its job, not a bug.

After using it for 2-3 days, I think this Beta 3 is completely sh**.

Bugs: (6S Plus)
1. Time does not display on homescreen.
2. It relocks after unlocking by using TouchID. So you have to unlock it twice.
3. Apple music will show me that black jacket lady randomly. If I don't have internet connectivity, that stubborn screen will refuse to go. This does not allow me to listen to my own music. (This is a nasty bug)
4. CC and NC are smooth at one instance. Next instance, they will be stuttery just like iOS 9.2.1
5. If you unlock the phone after a long time, the unlocking to home screen animation starts half way or gets completely skipped. There is no animation and you directly see homescreen icons. Subsequent animations are perfect.

Please someone update first wiki with these points. (I am a new member)

1: already known and in the wiki, the time isn't permanently gone. The bug is that it will take 2-10 seconds for the time to appear ONLY when you unlock to the Home Screen. You can force the time to appear sooner by launching an app.

2: never seen this happen personally.

3: no clue what you mean by this and the "black jacket lady".

4: it's not new to 9.3 beta 3 then if you're saying it's just like 9.2.1

5: probably not something new to 9.3 beta 3 either.

Anyone else getting a "Verification Failed: This action could not be completed. Try again" error message when signing into iCloud after a fresh install of iOS 9.3 beta 3?

Go head :) I was in the same situation you described, and was skeptical to update to beta 3, because beta 1.1 was running like smoother like never before, but beta 3 is even more! Everything is butterly smooth on iPhone 6 Plus. The only bad thing is the "lemon" on CC but that's a question of personal taste :p

There were a couple of guys on this message board that were praising how stable 9.3 beta 3 is I wonder where they are right now

I was stating that the other day.

Trust me, i'm first to moan about anything and as i've said in other threads, it's all good here.

The person you quoted is just upset that he had a bad install of 9.3 beta earlier in the week then reverted back to 9.2.1 and has been on a crusade ever since saying over and over how terrible betas are in general.

Beta 3 is perfectly stable for me. The only issue is the time sometimes not displaying on the homescreen, but that's hardly a dealbreaker for me.

I continue to have this problem with Control Center. My icons for wifi, Bluetooth etc. are missing the white highlight colour. They'll get the correct white colour if deactivated and activated again. It is reported to Apple ;)

Yeah i know, i've been testing beta software for years and have had a few bad times myself, i didn't come here and bitch about it in every post though. I just restored and cut my losses with that version and got on with my life, it's no big deal.

Beta 3 was fine for me until my 6s completely froze and became totally unresponsive. Hard shutdown was the only solution not even lock would shut the screen off.
