iOS 9.3 Beta 5 Bug Fixes, Improvements, and Changes.

[rmadera]

I'm not quite sure what your expectation is by posting the same opinion over and over again, other than to whine because you are not receiving the attention you want. No one here can call Apple for you and tell them to address RMADERA's bug reports directly. Some reports are obviously investigated and addressed, some are not. No one here has any control over that, and although no one here knows first hand what it is, I'm sure Apple has a method behind their filtering of bug submissions, and what they deem is priority to work on. They owe you nothing. If you don't like it, don't install the betas, and don't "waste your time" submitting feedback. If the time it is taking to address these issues are that big of a deal for you, switch to Android. Making the same complaint over and over again to TRY to prove your point is pointless. You don't win sympathy or support by being annoying.

So now I have to switch to an inferior platform because Apple can't seem to fix or improve their black hole of a bug reporting system? Even Craig Federighi on a recent episode of The Talk Show said that they have a lot to improve and change in the way they handle these reports. And I'm not making the same complaint to prove my point. I could care less about that. I'm responding to people who believe that Apple responds to almost every bug report. I could care less about winning sympathy or support on here since, as you stated, no one here has any say in what Apple does or doesn't do.

With Verizon wifi calling, is there a way to enable it on other devices (MacBook or iPad) to place calls when my iPhone is not nearby? I'm running the latest beta on my Mac.

I can't get mine to say wifi-calling in the carrier.

I don't think it's working.

 

[Hot12345]

I disagree. Every single problem I have reported has been addressed. Even the small ones.

Wich mailapp you use???

It was recently (last week) updated for the iPad Pro. So that it was properly scaled to its screen resolution. PiP and Split Screen wasn't added though (which isn't an iPad Pro specific thing anyways)

I'm able to still view 1440p from my YouTube app on my iPad Pro, it's all dependent wether the person uploading the video uploaded it as 1440p, so not every video will have the 1440p option.

Not sure about saving for offline. Never tried and don't even know the steps to try.

Yea, I know, I've been watching videos in 1440p for a few weeks on the pro, but since I jumped on the 9.3 beta, the same videos no longer give me the option to watch in 1440p anymore.

Yeah, so they can most likely ignore it? Sounds like a great plan.

As opposed to not saying anything about it being an even better one giving more of a chance of something getting fixed? Or as opposed to complaining about it all here that also doesn't change anything?

It seems Apple is working on Maps a little in this release in preparation for iOS 10. In this photo, the old highway shields are more skeuomorphic showing a glassy-like reflections. Now, they are flat and more legible with larger text. Left is my iPad on 9.3 PB5 and right is my iPhone on 9.3 DP5.

I'm not seeing any difference between my iPhone and iPad Pro (same set up of DP 5 on the phone and PB 5 on the iPad)

Since I'm in Canada our highway shields are different to begin with but I don't ever recalling in any recent time them being skeuomorphic.

That's interesting though.

got the same shields on beta 5 with iphone 6, okay the flatness overall since ios 7 was alright, but these are ugly..last time i actually stared at one was weeks ago so beta 3 or so, theyre different now.

Just had the time in the status bar disappear after I unlocked. Only happened to me once so far but was still odd.

Almost all, if not all, of the issues you mentioned were issues that they themselves introduced in this beta cycle, or otherwise bugs that were materially affecting customers in a tangible way or were popularized, so they basically couldn't ignore them. Otherwise, I really don't think they care about all these little scattered UI bugs that I and others here have mentioned.

I have to disagree as one example I personally have reported was the overlap of text in the scheduled DND on the from/to and times. Also was present in the NighShift area once 9.3 introduced that feature. That was simply a UI bug and certainly didn't effect usability at all but wasn't ignored and was fixed in this last beta. I reported that back in October so its been around a while. Anyway I suspect ones like this are low on the totem pole to address but they do eventually take care of them as far as I have seen.

Is anyone else still having problems with watch notifications on beta 5. My watch still alerts on phone and watch.

Un-pair and Re-pair your watch. That fixed the notifications for me.

I don't think it's working.

WiFi calling on VzW does work, but the feature to use other devices on WiFi is only available to AT&T right now.

It takes time... just because it takes 9 months to have a baby doesn't mean that 9 women can get it done in a month.

That doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure that's a physical limitation of the human body and it has nothing to do with software development where different people/teams can work on different parts of the project at the same time.

Still notification center doesn't show weather (for me). All settings are enabled and it used to work, not even sure when it stopped. I have reset privacy and location services as well as network settings. If anyone has a suggestion, it will be greatly appreciated. I don't think is a bug since not many people have this issue. Thanks.

There are still limitations on what gets worked on, who works on what, priorities, what gets in based on timing and other concerns, etc. There's a system to it all of one sort or another and things work within that system.

I was talking about 9 women can't make a baby in 1 month. The saying doesn't fit in this situation because multiple people CAN work on different parts of the product at a time, whereas 9 woman can't make the same baby.

I got it to work. I had to turn off Voice over LTE.

Clearly, you've never worked as a developer on a large product. Sure, there are things that can be worked on simultaneously, but somethings cannot be... depending on where in the code the issue is... you can't have 3 different people working on the same called procedure or subroutine to address 3 different issues without each trampling on the others' daisies. Some fixes must be single-threaded - which impacts overall delivery dates.

I guess is safe to ask now how's battery and performance on the 6s, anyone?

 

[sbailey4]

Interesting I have it enabled and it still works. Maybe try and turn it back on now and see. Keep in mind it only switches over to wifi if cellular signal falls below 2 bars or so.

I can't speak to the 6S battery, but it's solid on my 6S Plus. Marginally better than beta 4... easily finish the day with between 50%-65% remaining.

This is my first dive into 9.3 beta, but it looks like Sleep Cycle.app crashes when you let it run overnight. I submitted a bug report to the developers.

 

[stooovie]

It's completely nuts that Night Shift cannot be enabled while in Low Power Mode as that's precisely when most users need it - at the end of the day. There should be at least an option to turn it on manually, as in beta 4.

Please file a bug report if you find this annoying.

Sleep cycle running fine for me, beta 5 6s
