This beta is a LOT smoother compared to 9.2.1 on the 5s. Control centre stutters are completely gone (except a few odd stutters here and there, but barely noticeable unless you're dragging it SUPER slowly). The task switcher is very smooth, again with a few odd stutters, but as long as you're not too picky it won't bother you. Spotlight is fixed for the most part too. As far a speed, everything feels faster. Not sure if it's placebo, but I like it
Anyone else getting emails from Apple devs tonight? I've had 2 with regards to bug reports I sent in a while ago
I've tried to enable Wi-fi calling for my Verizon iPhone. The switch say that it's turned on and it works when I am at work (see VZW Wifi" in the top left corner). However, it never works on my home wifi network where I actually need it to work. Is there anything that I need to do on my router to allow wifi calling to work? It's a TP-Link AC1750 if that matters any.
Really off the wall bug but I just bought Hue lights last night and homekit would not let me invite people from my beta iPhone. I had to create the home off of my moms phone, running 9.2.1 to make the invite accept. Homekit also did not accept an invite from my beta device inviting another 9.3 beta device either.
Hopefully they iron it out and I can switch over to running the home after release.

It should kick in. Have you tried enabling airplane mode and then enabling just WiFi to see if that would get it to kick in?
Have not tried that. Will do when I get home. Thanks for your help!
Out of curiosity, does it only activate on weak cell tower signals?
That seems to be the case that it kicks in somewhere when there 2 signal dots or less.
Ok I installed 9.3B4 on my iPad mini 4 and it appears that Apple has just added a flag which hides the songs in my music when adding to a playlist. If I add a song from Apple Music, and the toggle is disabled/off, then it does not appear on my iPad but I can still see it on my iPhone and iTunes on MAC. I can only presume that if I was running 9.3B4 on my iPhone that it would be hidden.
Here is issue I see - if I delete the song from the playlist on my iPad, it removes from iPad but still shows on all my other pre-9.3 devices. I guess after everything is updated it will be fine but they seem to be still sorta in my music but hidden.
Yeah. Happened to my too, all my editing apps went outside the folder and YouTubed vanished fron my device. Had to reinstall.
I'm seeing lag and stutter pulling down the message notification banner for quick reply. iPhone 6.
Is there any known workarounds to not receiving ANY notifications from 3rd party apps on my Apple Watch ??? My Apple Watch is now completely useless to me if I can't be alerted about notifications from my 3rd party apps
Revert your phone back to 9.2.1 or install 2.2 beta 4 on your watch.
I would suggest you just revert your back down to 9.2.1.
In .3 PB my VZW WI-FI would drop out randomly. in PB 4 so far it seems to grab hold of the wireless signal and not let go. So far. As far as one of the earlier posts here about the "X" when deleting apps, mine are not square, they're round just like they've always been.
When they will get rid of the game center death bug? Very annoying, it seems Apple don't care of it.
They could just get rid of Game Center altogether.
Lets remember that some people (including @The Doctor11) use game center everyday and really enjoy itThey could just get rid of Game Center altogether.
.Thanks I might do this, all my backups however have been through iCloud so they are all beta backups. My last 9.2.1 backup was a while ago so i would lose a lot of my stuff wouldn't I?
You can do this:
- Delete the Beta Profile of the phone through Settings > General > Profiles
- Dowbload the 9.2.1 ipsw
- Plug into your Mac and launch iTunes
- While holding down the Option key on the keyboard click update
- Select the 9.2.1 ipsw file you downloaded and let it do its thing
It will install 9.2.1 overtop the 9.3 beta and leave all your info and settings intact.
You may have to re-download apps, as I've heard some people say they've had to using this method more recently (apps were never affected during the 9.0.2 release -> 9.1 beta days but might have changed since.)
But downloading apps again is a whole lot better than losing data.
