iOS 9.3 Beta 3 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[Vexxx]

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

Not smooth on 6s plus.

 

[XTheLancerX]

Yes, it's back! Spotlight search and Notification Center don't stutter anymore. It was pissing me off on beta 2 making me downgrade to beta 1. Now everything works perfectly like in beta 1

Really really looking forward to this, iPad mini 2 was a dream on beta 1 but beta 2 trashed it... Same for iPhone 5. I saw someone say their iPhone 5 is smooth again and I'm ready to try and confirm it. Also Verizon wifi calling FINALLY...

Public beta please come out tomorrow.

It's quite amazing how well the iPhone 5 is holding up. It's still smoother than my iPhone 6 and in fact it's hardly any slower.

I've been on all the 9.3 betas. The first was great but it had its quirks after a week or so. This is just really fluid overall. It's reminding me of when I had my 5S a couple years ago.

you are a "dear friend" indeed thanks for the reply! really tempted, to move from beta 1. Yes, beta 1 wasn't perfect, but 95% of time was even better than iOS 8.4.1

Messages app was laggy for me on iPhone 5 in beta 2. Can anyone report on messages app in iPhone 5 beta 3?

I also have an iPad mini 2 and all the stuttering problems were solved, just like on the 6+ !

This mean GM!

What means that, and why?

 

[Merkie]

My phone still has the Feedback app.

Still? 9.3 brought the iPhone 6 up to iPhone 5 smoothness from what I thought. What things does the 5 still perform more smoothly? Just curious. Control Center is very good on both now, at least.

Sweet! Pretty pumped for beta 3 then!

Feedback app appears to be gone.

Feedback app is still there. Check to see if your profile was deleted (bet it was).

How is battery life?

3D Touch keyboard finally allows back to back cursor use. It doesn't require the lag.

This is awesome to hear. I have been annoyed with the delay required for the 3d touch cursor since the day I got my 6S.

Can you explain exacly what you mean? I dont get it what kind of bug?

 

[C DM]

Not something that would really be known at this point.

The iPhone 5 hardly drops any frames. With the iPhone 6, framerate still varies a bit. Especially opening and closing apps, and opening submenus in the Settings app is just a tad smoother on the 5.

Anyway, this wasn't a complain because beta 3 is the best version of iOS 9 on the iPhone 6 so far. I was just amazed that beta 3 runs so well on the 5, especially since beta 2 was really choppy.

Nope it was not deleted. Even tried manually removing and applying it again, but still no feedback app.

Ah I see. Anytime a passcode screen is brought up in the settings app it lags quite badly and there are random hiccups here and there but with the age of the iPhone 5 I assumed it all kinda evened out at this point

It really helps A5 devices?
If so, amazing news!!!

 

[atlchamp]

so are you guys feeling that this one is better than beta 2?

 

[Elisha]

Less than 12 hours since release and you guys are professing how great it is already!
Give it a couple of days...hopefully battery is better than Beta 2.

Now you can install the beta with the cellular data, all the other updates require you to have wifi on.
*Installed all 144mb (i think that was the size *6s Plus*) with my LTE network.



** if you are doing the update if you put the phone in landscape and back all the text become bigger, don't know if its a bug, but it has been there sins first beta of iOS 9.

 

[Paco II]

What are you referring to? Mine says I have to be on WiFi to install.

When i put the phone to search the update i was on the cellular network and say download and install, and thats all. The update downloaded completely with the cellular network and the phone don't ask me to turn on and connect to a wifi network for the update like it has been always.

Any issues with Bluetooth?

Is there a way to get past the 'Verification Failed" message? I can't sign in to iCloud, I rent reset all my phone settings, i can't do anything because I keep getting this message. i have tried resetting my network settings and rejoining wifi, I have tried deleting the beta profile. there is no way for me to remove my iCloud account. I do notice that it says that iCloud terms and services have changed at the top of my iCloud settings... but when i click on it, just get the spinning circle in the status bar and it never opens.... Any sugestions?
