iOS 9.3 Beta 3 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[AZhappyjack]

Yup same issue. This one's new to beta 3. thx again I suppose they might have changed something with bluetooth in this build that's causing the other devices to fail to see each other. Handoff on my iPhone to mac also having some difficulties however vice-versa works.

Handoff works perfectly for me. The only time I have an issue with when for whatever reason, my phone switches from the primary wifi network to the "guest" network... then, of course, it fails because my rMPB and iPhone are on different wifi networks. Apart from that, handoff for both calls and texts (iMessage and SMS/MMS) is flawless.

So how is the ipad mini 2? I still have mine on 8.4.1.

Anyone else seeing this? I've been getting this daily on my Air 2 on all of the 9.3 betas, but never on my iPhone 6.

I restored my iPod back to 9.2.1 and set it up as a new device and AirDrop and Instant Hotspot works as normal. I then installed the profile and updated to 9.3 and the problems came back. iPhone 6S and Mini 4 Cellular work fine under 9.3 beta 3 but the iPod just doesn't want to.

Unfortunately I'm now getting a server authentication failure when I try to restore to my 9.3 beta 3 backup so I guess I'm going to revert back to 9.2.1 for now. I need instant hotspot on my iPod.

Whatever you do, do not sign out of iCloud on the devices that you are having problems with until the beta problems work themselves out. Otherwise you might not be able to log in like me.

I have but it only happened once on the day I put 9.3 beta 3 on my iPad Pro. Just checked after reading your post. No pop up for today on it.

It probably a bug, but it makes me wonder if it could be a sign that iPad's are finally going to get the stock weather app?

That would be awesome! But it is important to remember iPads do already use weather in the Notification Center and spotlight. But if it's only happening on iPads it could be a sign! I have hope.

I know iPads use weather for NC. But as you said it only happens on iPad. I've also heard that they have actually been working on bringing Weather app to iPad finally (I might be remembering what I heard wrong and it was the Calculator app. But it also could have been both.)

If true, it could be possible.

I just tested AirDrop between my iPhone 6S Plus (iOS 9.3b3), iPad Mini 4 (iOS 9.3b3) and my rMBP (OS X 10.11.4b3) without incident. I have successfully sent photos FROM each device TO each device as well as to my wife's iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 9.2.1).

My conclusion: no problem - it works as advertised without incident.

+1. I have been air dropping photos taken on my phone to my computer since release and haven't experience any issues.

Anyone get troubles open attached files in mail?

For the first time it doesn't open. If I tried forward mail to mail it only takes one of the file and then I can open this file in previous mail. The others file stuck downloading at 1%

Passing time, I can't consider how much it maybe hours I get open every attached file in the previous mail

Can't see this mentioned, apologies if it has. All my custom ringtones have vanished since installing this morning. Including those for specific contacts.

EDIT: First time I went into the ringtones section in iTunes Store I had an App Crash

 

[minato21]

Is this with iOS 9.3 beta 3? And for all recent contacts in Messages (the ones that come up as suggestions when you are composing a message)?

yes that one and I had it since b1 or 2. Ended up just resetting my phone, all I lost was my photos cause that back up was overwritten. Oh well at least the beta is going great on my 5s!

New bug in 9.3b3, when theres a notification while the phone is in standby, swipe it right in the lock screen that didnt do nothing, just go to the home screen (while using touch id) but when using passcode it jump to the app with no bug.

 

[wotsthestory]

Restored iPhone 6 from backup, still no custom ringtones. I can't retrieve my ringtones either, as it doesn't include them in purchased items.

 

[cmeisenzahl]

FWIW, I've been using all three public betas. The first was fine for me, the second was fine other than some bluetooth issues. The 3rd seems fine so far.

Stick with 8.4.1 iOS 9 still has lags

That would be awesome. The weather app on the Apple TV 4 looks pretty and that's how I imagine it on the iPad.

Just a generic PSA:

Make sure you report it to Apple either via the Feedback app (if you have it) or bugreporter.apple.com.

Apple can't fix what they don't know about.

I can't delete a backup made by iOS 9.3 beta 3. It's stuck on my 5S.

I have reported via bugreport.apple.com
Hope they fixed it on the next build.

Did you stick with iOS 8 on your devices?
I think for most people iOS 9 is plenty fast enough now on A7 devices
Not upgrading and not getting the new features and the app compatibilities are bigger downsides than the minute amount of lag and stutter that you might still see now.

iOS 9.3 beta 3 works great on my iPhone 6 Plus . Much better than beta 2. iCloud music library is buggy . It keeps getting turned off and all my offline music gets deleted and I am forced to download the songs again. Unclear why iCloud music library turns off by itself. This bug has been there in several versions of iOS . Wish i knew how it was getting turned off by itself

 

[Gibson88]

Can anyone confirm if the fuzzy icons on the home screen of the iPad Pro have been fixed?

Disappearing clock is annoying. I didn't have this problem until beta 3.
