iOS 9.3 Beta 6 Bug Fixes, Improvements, and Changes.

[gwhizkids]

Here's an odd one: I wanted to report a bug where my Calendar app crashes every time I select the Inbox to see new invites, but the Feedback app says I'm not enrolled in a beta. My OS being 9.3 beta 6 says "Wrong!". And I can't even report it as an issue!

Is your account actually flagged and registered for a Beta, or did you just get the profile downloaded?

Enrolled in the Public Beta months ago and have successfully reported using the Feedback app many times.

Anybody else noticing stutters on iPhone 6 with beta 6? Beta 4 has been the smoothest with almost zero lag for me and got worse with the following two betas

How long have flight numbers been supported natively like this? Type flight number (VX204 in this case) into messages, or possibly any native app, it converts it to a link that when tapped, gives the option to "preview flight". On 9.3b5 but has this been a feature for a long time?

Just clarifying that battery life is the same (just as good) as it has been with previous iOS 9.3 betas (at least for me on 6s).

Check your settings if you're having issues. And if that fails, restore. And if that fails, go to the Apple Store.

Certainly isn't the beta software.

why recommend restoring then?

Beta 5 was way better than this.

Because software can get corrupt even if it has nothing to do with the beta software. Could be a corrupt install or something stuck running in the background. Besides Apple will make you restore anyway. So might as well get that done with before you even take the device in.

But why did someone re-add battery drain to bugs on Page 1? Just because a couple of people have battery drain does not make it a bug. The general consensus of this thread is battery is the same as previous builds, which isn't bad to begin with.

Beta 5 was way better than this.

Better with what, care to elaborate?

How are some of you getting 9 hours of usage time?? I never get anywhere close to that. My cellular signal isn't great at work, but it's almost perfect at home.

Weird bug for me, the phone thinks it is always using headphones since I woke up this morning. I can adjust the volume but is always the "Headphones" volume. I can't get it to make a sound. I tried resetting all settings, plugging in headphones and unplugging them, and a hard reset. Any other tips before I DFU restore?

I had that a while back when upgrading to official software - I had to phone EE and get them to manually reset the WiFi calling settings.

It works now... But only after 30 mins after turning on my WiFi... Don't know whats happened but i'll try calling up EE, thanks!

I mean thats the problem right there. Assuming you are spending 6-8 hours a day at work with poor signal strength. Your battery is being killed while at work, and for whatever time you are home, its not enough to make up for it. I easily get 8-10hrs of usage and 16-18hrs of standby on my 6s.

Even installing 9.3B6 yesterday (was on 9.2.1 before) I got 6.5hrs of usage and 12.5hrs of standby when I went to sleep, with 19% remaining. Thats installing the beta and not plugging in the device to charge during installing or after installing.

Been there since iOS 9.0 beta 1 back in June

How so? What's the issue there, bucky?

Has anyone noticed frames dropping on the iPad Air 2? Not just the OS but I've noticed a couple third party apps suddenly dropping frames as well.

 

[balzz]

What website are you seeing this happen? I can't reproduce this.

Must've been a bug. It's not working that way any more.

I don't know what it is about this build but Beta 5 was better on my devices.Something has gone completely wrong with my battery.I charged my phone 4 times today.

Also the OS seems to have become stutters again in General.

I'm sure you have, but just incase you haven't. Have you done a hard reset? After I install any update (Beta or not) to any of my iOS devices (and Apple Watch), I always do a hard reset.

Man this may be the worst beta of all 9.3 betas. In addition to battery issues Apple music doesnt play my songs. It gives some format error. After device restart it started to play some of those but not all of them.

Yeah, I had this work for me with my daughter's flight home from college last Thanksgiving. Cool feature though!

Assume you have reported this somewhat serious bug?

Night shift works in low power mode if you use Siri to turn on night shift while in low power mode

Wow, this is cool! I didn't know you could switch Night Shift modes using Siri, let alone as a workaround for the Low Power Mode restriction. Cheers!

OK, figured it out: I unenrolled my Mac from the El Cap beta. Somehow that logged me out/unenrolled me for the iOS beta. I was still getting the updates, so had no idea that had happened. I assume its possible to be part of one without being in the other?

Good news: I was able to log my bug with Calendar. I know you were all pulling for me!

All my music was wiped after beta 6! Is anyone have this problem?

 

[ApexDE]

Selecting different times in "Settings->Code->Ask for Code after" has no effect. I usually use 4 hours, but unlocking the phone after 10 minutes brings up "enter code" again.

Anyone else experiencing this?
