maybe a bit behind here, I've not been following this thread to well ... but glad to finally see that the bluetooth hands free profile looks to have been fixed, i use this in the car with google maps for navigation and tonight i noticed that it was a lot better than it has been for a long time, nice and clear audio with almost no break up what so ever

anyone know if the old bluetooth volume bug is still kicking around, where the bluetooth audio volume would drop by about 30% for no apparent reason, yet fast warding thru a track seemed to reset it. it used to kick in when listening to bluetooth and another notification noise came over at the same time, audio would dip for the notification and not really come back up again?
 
Battery life has been horrible for me but honestly not much different than beta 5. Everything else seems fine. I reset ALL settings too.

I didn't say it was a GM. But there won't be many changes between this build and the GM.

Let your battery go all the way to 1% (or so) then fully charge in one shot. Does wonders for me after every update.

and how do u know that? theres been many times when a beta 6 or 7 etc, when GM was next, was a fairly large update (like 200mb+ as example)..

1. They've announced all be features that 9.3 is going to have (as far as we know) so I don't think there will be any surprises
2. Not many changes between beta 5 and beta 6
3. Unless there are huge issues reported in b6 (doesn't seems like it) Apple usually stays ahead and has probably already finished up the GM in preparation for the event.

again, how do u know this? for #2, thats not always true. "big changes" dont always mean a bus load of new features, it can easily mean bug fixes.

they shared the build number with a beta tester, so i think it's not a ''top secret'' for them. and what i understand from this picture is they'll release a final build for developers next week. which will be identical with the public final release

I can't remember. But it looks ugly. Should be a circle imo. Have not noticed it before.

Since Beta 6, my LTE data connection on my iPhone 6 is always freezing after a few minutes. I get full reception, but can't make any internet connection. I have already tried to reset my network settings. No problems on 3G or EDGE though.

Can anyone confirm this issue? My operator is Telekom.de in Germany. Maybe someone has the same operator and can tell me, whether he/she has this problem, too?

Yep, this has happened to me as well. Really strange.
 
can't speak for all bugs, which can sometimes take a while to show up in regular use, but i do feel like 9.3 is one of the better builds in terms of smoothness since we left behind iOS6. there's still some issues with responsiveness, but they are more to do with conscious design decisions than sloppy coding. my iPhone 6 no longer feels like its struggling to "just" keep up with animations. :)

I am not being able to airdrop multiple photos at once! Can someone reproduce this??
Click to expand...

No issues here. I just moved 13 photos between my iPhone, iPad and rMBP this morning... smooth as buttah.

My only issue with AirDrop is that starting about beta 3 or 4 (both iOS 9.3 and El Capitan 10.11.4), the user icons no longer appear - all I get are the generic silhouette icons for each target device, and it's the same regardless of from which device the AirDrop transfer is initiated.

It's a minor annoyance that I have reported to Apple via bugreporter and the Feedback Assistant app.

Can anyone confirm if the "Still/Perspective" option are gone when setting a new wallpaper?! I've powered off and on my iPhone but it still wasn't there. Btw I have a 5S on B6.
