iOS 9 beta 2 performance and battery thread!

[DDustiNN]

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

But what phone were you using...? That seems like an important piece of info missing.

Battery now seems to be showing realistic usage times... My battery has almost never given a usage time of 9.5 to 10 hrs under normal situations..

Getting consistently good battery life on beta 2 but am a bit puzzled by the persistence of FB Messenger in the background, when I've hardly used it. The on-screen time is accurate, but the background time is there despite me killing the app repeatedly. Anybody else see this with with Messenger or another app?

Usage and standby time being practically the same isn't generally normal.

Yup. It's a bug. Hopefully fixed in the next seed.

I've noticed this as well. It's making me consider dumping the app. I do t use it that much anyway and I'm getting fed up with FB policies

Maybe he was using the phone for 8 hrs straight, streaming music etc?

If I keep phone screen all day on before it goes dead, I will eventually get standby time and usage time exactly same. This is not a bug. However, if standby time and usage time is exactly the same while screen is off, that would be considered as a bug.

I don't really understand what you mean. If you had a full charge and then you kept the screen on all day for let's say 12 hours until the battery drained, the stat should be 12 hrs of usage and 0 hours of standby. Standby is time your iPhone is powered on but the screen is off.

Everyone on 9b2 on my team is getting the same thing which is that usage and standby time are incorrectly very close to each other (approx 10%). That's on all 6 Plus but one group of us so YMMV.

Can't believe how naive & presumptuous some people are on this forum!

Hahaha -- just a general thought or was there something more specific?

Standby time means iPhone is on, and/or iPhone screen is off. This is what I understand by watching usage data.

If you use your iPhone a few minutes after pulling away from charger, you would see standby time and usage time is exactly the same. I have seen this many times before.

Standby time is simply the total time the phone has been on (with the screen on or off, and while being used or not) since the last full charge.

Standby time also includes usage time. It actually shows the time since the phone has last touched 100%.

That makes sense though it is a bizarre way to show the stat. Standby should mean just that. Standby!

It would make more sense if they used "powered on" and "in use" rather than standby, etc.

Wow was I wrong!

You're right -- standby time includes usage time. Well, gotta say that I love these forums because I constantly learn stuff that I didn't know.

used nearly 3GB of data this month. i usually barely hit 1GB. i think the wifi that keeps dropping out for a short time randomly when i open apps is to blame.

What app did you use to make the tall screenshot?

Sorry for the late reply. I used Stitch It!
