Guys have they fixed the alarm bug that was reported in beta 6? It is the reason why I stayed away from beta 6... cant risk the alarm to be messed up and me being late for work...

What alarm bug do you mean?

My alarm has been fine - the only bug I remember hearing about was setting an alarm and closing the app (apparently this stopped it going off?). I've not tested it, but I've had no problem leaving the app open in the background at night.

thats why all the previous months that were over 70 miles which is lots of them, even are all some 4-5 mile stuff it will never go over 5.5, its not working, was in 9.2 not 9.3.

not talking about monthly, they are still fine. it says daily average, chart shows total for the month in monthly view..yearly did the same till now when the chart shows whatever it wants. as said can average the month manually via all the data, slowly & painfully, its not even close.

Do you not understand what an average is? so you walked over 70 miles every day in your previous months? I highly doubt that. It's working. Go look up some basic math. They must have decided in 9.3 it's more useful to show you the average for the month when you are in yearly view.

Usually the benchmark for steps in a day is 10000 steps or about 5 miles. The average american usually walks half that distance in a day. The numbers are fine.

I can say with confidence that this has been the smoothest beta on my iPhone 6. This is how 9.0 should've launched. It's not perfect, but it's way better than 9.2.1 for sure!

I thought 9.3 was supposed to be out today...for the public. I also thought the apple keynote was today as well (iPad Air 3,etc). But I guess not.. Not sure why I'm wanting 9.3, probably not going to be much different that what I have now. I just wish there was a camera image improvement.
Depends on what you have now. If earlier than 9.3 betas then it is different. The keynote will be on March 21st.

If the bug in question is the fact that the alarm does not go off if the app is closed, then its fixed. I use alarm every day and clock app closed and it works. Only issue I had was just after an update to beta 2 the alarms were deleted and had to be set up again.

I think its up to the app or something connected with it cos it did it two times with the same app
No, apps can't shut down the device.

Might be a physical issue with the phone. My second 6s kept shutting off before the battery would hit 0%. Apple replaced it and I haven't had it happen since.

Is anyone with a 6s Plus having the wallpaper rotate on lock screen? For example, if I have my iPhone on portrait mode and rotate to landscape while still being locked, the wallpaper will rotate too. Not sure if this is a bug. Thank you.

That's not impressive. If it were 24 hours or more off the charger then it would be. Most phones can achieve high usage if continuously used upon being unplugged.

Show me a screenshot that surpasses my usage then for a regular 6s.

Do it.

That's because the month view shows it for every day. And out of the month you didn't pass 5.5 miles. I'm sure your average is under that. So it has to show you a line to give you an idea of where each bar is at.
Regardless if we're all debating what the app is trying to show then it probably isn't going to be like that at gm. I hope! Either it's bugged or it's convoluted

I've been seeing some issues with the Music.app. Searches in Apple Music are not loading up results all the way and not showing songs under albums. Just had it happen to me a few times while browsing. iPhone 6sPlus. Anybody else seeing this?

Yes I have that bug on beta 7 just like in previous betas. Starting to surf from my playlists almost always ends with a bug like not being able to view artists songs.

But still beta 7 has the most stable Apple music app ever I think.

look up math, funny..i dont care what ur "average american" this or that, i dont have a vehicle, im not american, i have to walk everywhere to get food, there & back is like 3.5 miles, 4-5 times a month. i freqently visit someone thats 5.1 miles of walking one way, many times ive done that 6 times a month, going to the bank to get rent another 2. plus any other misc stuff.

u look up some basic math, i know what an average is, do u know what a bug is? its like any & everything thats in front of people they have to try accept it & create some sort of order to make it "understandable" even if something is plain broken. i said multiple previous months were well over 70 miles now they always display 5.5 like its a hard cap, this month is my most active yet & still 5.5 miles..also the same "bug" applies to steps & flights climbed. u wouldnt know cause u probably drive the 7 eleven thats half a block away, right?

i mentioned the bug, i was done with it since im not believed, but at least the others werent a smart ass like u.

mine is working just fine in all views.

You do realize that if you had a monthly average of over 70 miles then you would have to walk around 70 miles every day of the month. The activities you listed above if you did each of them every single day would only give you around a 14 mile a month average.

App downloads are very slow. Anyone else?

Is there anything I can do? I have reset all settings and content and that hasn't worked.

Thanks.
