I'm having an issue with alarms set in the clock app not sticking if the app is closed from multitasking.
 
I'm not using Touch ID. Sometimes if I want to unlock my phone with my password screen for entering not appear. Screen is blank only background image is there. I have to swipe screen back or lock phone by lock button.
At the second try password entering page appears.

Just an FYI, there is a bug with restoring backups (from icloud or itunes) to a 9.3 b3 phone. Phone won't login to icloud or itunes store after the restore. I got a new 6S, trying out Tmobile, and can't restore my 9.3b3 backup to the new 6S.

If you have a backup from an older version, then upgrade to 9.3b3 it should work.

Has anyone noticed the battery indicator next to the Bluetooth icon in the upper bar? It was the first time I've seen it while paired to a Bluetooth

It's not new. In fact I am seeing it right now on my phone with iOS 9.2.1.

Definitely something isn't right. Sounds like there is a stuck process or something (maybe even a bad battery.) I also have an iPhone 6 on 9.3 beta 3 and always get 8+ hours in the usage time. My 6 has been on every single beta pretty much full time since 8.3 till now on 9.3 and have never seen my battery get even close to that bad. Mine has been really consistent with 8+ hours usage and anywhere from 12-24+ hours standby all while 98% of the time running beta.

You could try closing out all apps in the app switcher then do a reboot (holding the Power + Home button until you see the Apple logo) then see how your next charge lasts.

Reset Network Settings is another possible solution and/or Reset Settings.

I'm going to do a full restore when my boy go's to his mum for next 2 day.

Yeah I know all these tricks and hints was just posting to see if others are seeing this aswell. It's the second phone that's had an issue like this. I will try all usual before taking it back to apple.

Be careful. There is a bug in this version if you restore your phone from backup. In this case your Apple ID can't verified.

So literally just unplugged my phone at 7.30am uk time it's now 10.30am and I'm down to 27% no wifi just 3G and 4g 2 phone calls check 5 webpages. Absolute horrendous battery drain on beta 3 today. It's not been the best since updating and has been getting considerably worse each day.
iPhone 6

It happened to me today too. My 6s Plus is losing battery like water through a leaky bucket today. I went from 100% at 6am down to 38% by 11am. I've never seen battery drain like that ever and I've been on every Beta in the last year.

The weird thing is that it's all App Store background activity. I've been in my office at work all day with wifi switched off and I haven't even opened the App Store. Not sure what's going on with the battery.

Doesn't the iPad mostly load desktop sites anyway? Unless the site creator perhaps wants to specifically offer an iPad/mobile version for some reason?

Not on my iPad Pro anyway, and not on most all sites I visit. That's why they should be constant setting IMHO.
 
just started restore iTunes popped up a message telling me software was not installed correctly and to restore. hopefully this is the issue. downloaded full beta software and just installing now. so need to set up as new phone i guess now with this bug ;?

iv noticed literally past 3 days today was the worst.
 
9.3 Beta 3 has completed screwed my GPS. I've tried all the fixes to get it going again but absolutely no luck. Also the WIFI sensitivity has changed. Where I used to get a signal I get nothing now. I'll be next to other iOS devices (Apple TV, another iPhone running 9.2) etc and they pick up the signal fine.

I'm praying for an update soon. Driving without Waze in the morning is no fun!!

:(

Did you get this sorted?
 
I can't download music in Apple Music. When I click the plus/add button, it says added but then the cloud/download button only shows for a second and then goes back to the plus/add button. Anyone else have this issue? Any work around?

It's so weird how these bugs vary from phone to phone. I'm not experiencing a single problem. And honestly I almost never do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a part of the beta program. It just works smooth for me.

Yes I know I just totally cursed myself. :eek: See you back here in a few hours to complain about the issues I'm having.

Your clock doesn't disappear when you unlock your phone?

More fluid overall. Touch ID opens phone immediately. Spotlight and task switcher aren't dropping frames. Swiping left to Proactive screen loads the news articles the first time (before they wouldn't load until you swiped back and forth a second time). Control Center and Notification Center both pull up and down fluidly. I haven't seen a jarring animation yet. When orientation is unlocked, the screen rotates very nicely. Anything else you're interested in specifically?

I just updated to ios 9.3 beta 3 with the iphone 6 plus and when I turned on transparency the very first thing i noticed was lag! You were claiming that IOS 9.3 Beta 3 is Lag Free but I knew this was wrong and had to call you out on it!
 
News in Spotlight don't open in Safari.
Swiped to Spotlight. Pushed a news below. Nothing take happen.
It wasn't possible to open anyone news.

Anyone else noticed that in the reminders app when used in split screen mode on iPad Air 2 that the list is not in order? Even if you reorder when in split view it will eventually be out or order again. I sent a bug report when 9.0 released. I can't be the only one.
 
First major issue for me, apart from the disappearing clock:
6s, with 60% battery, phone just went dead on me. First attempt at turning it back on showed the icon for empty battery plug it to a charger, waited for a few seconds, tried again and it did turn on, but after briefly showing my wallpaper it turned itself off again.
Repeated the same thing a few times (with a couple of hard reboots in between), always with the empty battery picture on, then turning on but off again.
Left the phone for a few minutes, and then it did turn on properly, with 57% battery left!
Very strange, wondering if it will happen again...
 
My iCloud data isn't syncing on my iPhone or iPad. On the PB, but might need to downgrade to 9.2 now.
