iOS 9.3 Beta 1 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[NightStorm]

I updated to 9.3 beta 1 this morning and the trouble started. I am having a hard time pairing with Bluetooth. My Garmin Vivoactive wouldn't pair and everything else required many tries to pair until they worked. But not the Garmin. Anyone else having Bluetooth problems? Also while pairing the bluetooth icon was going from light to dark white. In the Bluetooth control panel I watched it go from connected to disconnected to connected then fail.

I am having this exact same problem with two of my Garmin devices. I submitted a bug report via the feedback app; hopefully it can be addressed soon!

Thanks for the responses.

So if i go for the public beta, can I revert back to 9.2.X when it gets released, or am I locked to the beta updates until the proper 9.3 releases? Will it mess up my IOS with junk files etc? One thing I hate is doing clean installs and having to go through importing everything back to my phone. I hate this thing.

Sorry for all the questions, but I am really excited with all these comments but I just got my 6s a month ago and I dont want to end up doing clean installs.

Thanks again.

You will get the "proper" 9.3 update when it releases unless it's the same build.Sometimes beta builds are released as public versions in which case you won't be updated

App switcher is unusable on iPad more then the iPhone.A small swipe scrolls all the way to the end.Its too fast to interrupt in between

What happens with the note on OS X if you password protect it in iOS? Will this be a feature in OS X aswell?

Look at the screenshot. You can make the screen warmer or cooler depending on your preference.

To revisit my post now that I've installed the 9.3 beta on a device, the Nightshift mode only warms the display colors. The slider should really be labeled "warm" and "warmer." The entire range of adjustment is warmer in hue than with the setting turned off.

Anyone get a weird green flicker when they turn their screen on?

Yes. Happens occasionally on my 5S. Not sure how to reproduce it but it does flickering.

Did a hard reset and it seems to disappear. Odd.

You know one of the smaller things they added in the last few builds which I really appreciate is that movies no longer pause when you go into the cc or notifications panel.

Just noticed that YouTube no longer pauses - hallelujah!

I have tried everything to get Bluetooth to work with my Garmin VivoActive, but it does pair with other devices like a Jawbone and a keyboard. So maybe I will just wait for a while.

Only thing I'm noticing with 9.3 so far, when I unlock the phone with TouchID I often quickly see the request to enter my pass-code flash by quickly.

I've got the Forerunner 230 and having the exact same problem. Is anyone having bluetooth pairing issues as well or is this a Garmin-only issue?

After reading a few of the comments, I think I'll upgrade my iPad Air but hold off on my iPhone. Gotta see how the battery life is and I'd rather not have my phone super glitchy. I cannot wait to have night mode enabled. I've been sideloading F.lux and Goodnight for a while now.

Maybe it's just in my head, but TouchID seems to be less accurate than before. I will try rescanning my prints.

Connected to my Plantronics without issue. I was having BT usability issues on the previous beta, which I have not experienced yet (mainly not being able to answer a call on BT, or answering a call, but not hearing anything on the line.

Wifi seems unstable

Srsly Apple? Siri support for Hebrew, Finnish, and Malay, but no Polish?!

Completely agree. There shouldn't be anything "cool" on the slider.

hasnt anyone done a video comparison for 9.3 beta control center and overall UI smoothness yet?

 

[sneeks]

The beta version is running ok with only a couple of minor annoyances. The lack of a option to select a bluetooth device while on a call is not ideal and I've found that if I press the power sleep/wake button while on a phone call the iPhone terminates the call. Previously the screen would simply switch off.

Trying to install on my iPad Air. This is my second time trying. Now both times after the install I'm stuck on the Apple logo boot screen. There was a brief blue screen flash for half a second and then the Apple logo again. To fix it I had to DFU to 9.2. Anyone else have this install problem? iPhone 6s went fine.

happened to mine also twice, ended up just downloading the ISPW and installed via Itunes

Same.

I used the beta for couple days, worked very good but battery life was horrible, omnistat showed constant high cpu usage. Usually indexing after new install does hit the Cpu, but this was for couple days, phone was running hot. Had to roll back to 9.2, however this is where my issues started. Restored back to 9.2, did not restore my backup and built from clean. However after getting back to 9.2, couldn't activate my iMessage, FaceTime or wifi calling. Doubt its related but incase anyone has the same issue, FaceTime and iMessage took half a day and finally activated, wifi calling took some weird work around.
Goto settings->cellular->voice & data->select 3G then back to LTE->then go back and turn off cellular data and back on, after that wifi calling finally activated.

If you're in OS 10.4 it's password protected, if not you can't access your password protected notes on OS X.
