iOS 9 beta 2 performance and battery thread!

[Shirasaki]

Anyone tempted by this as a daily driver, I'd advise against it. You mileage may vary but here's my experience:
- Won't sync with the Apple Watch
- FaceTime doesn't work (as reported)
- Crashes a lot more than Beta 1
- Choppy animations (not smooth at all)
- Music app crashes lots
- Battery better than Beta 1 but still awful

Hey guy, you need to dfu back to iOS 8.4 or iOS 8.3.

 

[Shirasaki]

No worries. Beta 3 will fix that for you in a few weeks

Fix to bring it down 12 hr battery life?

 

[Sal09]

Result of my first full charge cycle from 1% to 100%.

 

[AbSoluTc]

@73% Currently

Usage - 3 hrs - 5 min
Standby - 15 hrs - 11 min

With LPM on.

I have been texting, FB Messenger, Fallout Shelter, Email, Web

 

[Shirasaki]

Usage - 3 hrs - 5 min
Standby - 15 hrs - 11 min

With LPM on.

So your phone died?

 

[AbSoluTc]

So your phone died?

Nope. Still going.

 

[Shirasaki]

Nope. Still going.

Then, how much power left?

 

[AbSoluTc]

Then, how much power left?

See above.

73%

 

[Shirasaki]

See above.

Well, I didn't see anything before you add it.

That's neat that it's showing some on screen usage time for individual apps but I wish it would show a total onscreen time per full charge too.

Battery life is amazing. Must better than beta 1.

 

[AbSoluTc]

That's neat that it's showing some on screen usage time for individual apps but I wish it would show a total onscreen time per full charge too.

It's down below.

 

[imagineadam]

It's down below.

Really? It shows the combined total onscreen time from all apps?

 

[AbSoluTc]

Really? It shows the combined total onscreen time from all apps?

It totals 100% if you add them up.

Not sure why it is showing like this today as yesterday was right usage, maybe it is proactive working in background, still brilliant battery.

I've posted once in beta 2 improvement on battery, but I am much happier now as I can leave cellular enabled.

Here's my latest results:

4 hrs 44 minutes of use
45 hrs 15 minutes on standby
Battery left 47%

On beta 1 I had to turn cellular off and still could not make it through the day without dropping to under 10% battery life.

Incredible batt stats now on beta 2. I have everything running as I did on 8.4 and I'm rivaling the battery life I used to get.

 

[AppleDavid]

I just watched the WWDC lab where they talked about energy consumption and savings , and it seems to me that this theme ios 9 greatly improved!

 

[dammerl]

Battery fine here, on my iPad Air 2. Battery indicator, too.
From 100 to 88% after 3 hours of mainly Safari, Podcast and Mr. Reader.

 

[Demovx]

Beta 2 fix 1sec lag call phone ?

 

[asv56kx3088]

Anyone using the beta with Ipad 3 gen.? If how it is?

I'm thrilled to say it is more usable than on iOS 8.3!
(Though missing tonnes of new features, e.g. the ability to toggle on character preview, low power mode... etc.)

This is not simply brilliant. This is just out of the earth! 8 hours for 75%? Then could I expect 32 hours in total?

 

[Hustler1337]

Seems like a lot of people are getting decent battery life like me. Will post my battery stats in a moment

 

[PilotTiny]

Been on 100% all day... Not sure if broken or just amazing battery life lol
