DB4 - Siri doesn't work also, just freezes every time you open it and it made my 2015 MacBook basically unusable, beach-balling everywhere, browsing, opening apps, the Geekbench results were also a lot lower than with HS. Had to revert back to HS via Time Machine. I am beginning to wonder if my machine is too old and underpowered to even run an official Mojave once it gets released...

same problem for me, Siri not working on 2017 MBP 15
also sometimes facetime logs out and have to restart to login into it.
I think DB4 is more broken than the previous betas

I have a general issue with sound and bluetooth that may be related. I can't play audio to my AirPods, no mater what app I use, unless I open Sound preferences and go to the Input tab. But if I click another tab or quit Sound prefs, end of the audio.

So no crash or anything, but no sound output either...
Cant reproduce this over here. Though: In this version its not possible to convert to aac for whatever reason.

It does not happen with every tries, after reading amaze1499 post, I tried it again a minute ago.

Since I was already disconnected, I turn off bluetooth on my Mac, keeping the speaker bluetooth.
Then I switched on bluetooth on Mac while playing music on iTunes.
When I connected the bluetooth iTunes froze again I force quite it.
Now it does open.

I think my issue is related to the automatic sound output switching as after force closed iTunes again, itried to change the output device,
the volume icon on status bar is frozen.
So I open system preferences to check it there same when trying to open sound setting.
Now system preferences too is frozen, been there for more than 5min now.

Does Siri work in the latest beta. For me it doesn't work.

Siri has not been working since the first beta for me.

Same here MacBook Air 2014, it seems to become slower with each DB release, I going to wait and see it things get better if not will have to revert back to HS. Also when not using Dynamic Desktop it fairly usable.

Mine strangely worked once this morning. At some point I stopped using my Parrot Zik 3, then put them back on more sound unless I kept the Sound prefs opened in Input.

For a third Public Beta, I feel like I am getting more and more bugs every beta instead of the other way around.

Does anyone else have an issue when sharing a pages document (through the pages menu) via email in pdf format? Whenever I select it the mail app is opened but no new email is created, with the file as an attachment, as was previously the case.

The share menu isn’t working at all in fact. A few of us already mentioned it and I guess already filed reports. This is not specific to an app AFAIK

Another bug for me on 13" rMBP from 2014 on Beta 5 (18A347e) - enormously laggy and freezes while watching youtube, listen apple music or even browsing web in chrome...really bad for now from my experience. Anyone experienced anything similar?

I have a MacBook Air Early 2014, was very slow on the previous beta but seemed faster than before. But after disabling dynamic desktop, turn off transparency et motion, everything work fine.

One problem I notice though is that app keep crashing, especially when performing the same action many time like refreshing a page this happen to me on Safari Tech Preview (more than 5 times), and on Textastic (twice) and Google chrome
[doublepost=1533506562][/doublepost]Siri is now working on Beta 5.

Yep, on PB4 & PB5 YouTube is very laggy, the most annoying lag is the pause/unpause of YouTube videos, takes 5 seconds to pause a video. Small bug really but still annoying

Has anyone else had an issue with the Dock popping up over full-screen Spaces when switching from one Space to another in Mission Control? It's incredibly annoying, and hard to reproduce; I'm wondering whether it's my setup or a bona-fide bug.

Force-clicking in Bear causes the app to crash. Has been the same for the last two betas now.

Safari is completely broken in the last two betas. Cannot play any videos (embedded or not) Youtube, facebook, reddit you name it.

ALL videos stutter. This causes a 1-3 second mouse freeze consistently. There is no fix and Apple is unaware.

Basically you have to use Chrome or Firefox, both of which are superior browsers (now) in my opinion.

Strange, didn't have any issue with video on Youtube (don't have FB and not on reddit though)
