The previous version of beta 3 had an obscure bug that was bothersome... hopefully it is fixed.

Basically if my phone ever went to a place where the signal was so bad it disconnected, it never recovered. The bars would come back, but most of the phone still thought it was offline (even if I was online on Wifi and using Chrome with no issues). Only a reboot would allow things like Maps to work again.

I had this problem too. Made the mistake of updating in Los Angeles before driving 2,000 miles to Nashville. Every time I lost signal for a few minutes, it would return with bars but the LTE or 3G never showed until I did a reboot.
 
Cue in all the bug complaints without giving any feedback to Apple.
I wonder if there are more bug reports in this forum than Apple's own reporting system.
I wonder that myself sometimes. I think some people forget what the purpose of a dev/public beta is for.

I've submitted a half a dozen already to Apple for beta 2 and beta 3. (various touch issues, app failures, cell/wifi issues).
The cell radio bugs in first beta 3 release were annoying. Hopefully they were resolved in this re-release.

Toggling airplane mode on and off worked for me.
 
I’m pretty sure the initial v3 released bricked my phone beyond repair. I had the beta installed for like 2 days and surfing the web it just randomly froze and would not boot. I was getting a 4000 error code trying to reinstall.

Apple store replaced my phone and told my my previous was being sent to Apple and that my boot / firmware was faulty. I had no damage and didn’t drop it. All buttons and the port worked.
 
Calls went straight to voicemail on my previous DB3 and I reverted back to iOS 12.

Can anyone confirm if this has been fixed in this DB3 v2 and PB2?
 
Shouldn't have to join a wi-fi network to download 117mb.
Even the app store will prompt for over 200mb.

Sorted out the issue I had in iPadOS on my iPad Pro where orientation was fixed after turn-on. Every time I turned on my iPad the orientation of the background would stay fixed, no matter how I turned the iPad. Any App would works fine, ut the background and icons stayed locked until I’d turn it off and back on again...

I'd like to know the same thing. Since I didn't revert to iOS 12, it's been very tricky the voicemail issue.
Hope someone confirms if that is fixed!
 
I don't ever remember a DB beta auto-updating, even with the setting turned on. It has always been manually for me.

Must have been important for Apple to push a 117 MB update so quickly.
Developers tend to be a bit more tolerant of issues that might force them to reinstall the OS than the general public would because we're used to dealing with in-progress buggy code and potential catastrophic data loss. My guess is they found something that was a critical bug that might sour the public on the beta program and threw in one change. It's just a guess.

There are two main reasons for a beta program. One is to ask for bug reports. The second, which is just as important, is to allow developers to get a head start on revising old programs to work with the new OS or to create new products that could take advantage of the new features. Without a beta program, there wouldn't be a huge slew of updates on OS release day. In fact, we'd have a lot of programs that flat out didn't work.
 
3D Touch/Haptic Touch not working in this beta? Can’t get any of the app menus to open. Any type of long press or force press just makes the apps jiggle.

I was having slow wifi, and constant drop outs in beta 2 and 3 (both iPad and iPhone). This now seems be be fixed *knock on wood*.

I’m on a mesh network, so that may have been part of it as I didn’t see others complaining.

Yes I have same issue. I have a mesh network. I disabled fast roaming and it seems to have fixed the issue so it has to be related to that.

I'm pretty sure this is more of a carrier directed thing. It's not the size of the update, it's the scale. Maybe not for the betas, but in general, when iOS update comes out a TON of people update simultaneously ... the phone carriers probably don't want their networks to carry that burden, so they restrict (or ask Apple to restrict) OS updates to wifi only.
 
Fingers crossed that the USB functionality is restored on Lightning iPads! (No external file access, USB mouse, or Ethernet support in beta 3, rev a)
After updating to beta3, my e-piano is not able to connect to the iPad with lightning port. Beta 2 works, but after updating to beta3 rev.2 it still fails to connect the piano. Sad.

This explains so much! For the first time today I was having issues with this. I was hotspoting for half the day no problem to my iPad Pro 11”. I went to lunch where there was no coverage and the rest of my day was a fight with connectivity to anything (WiFi, cellular, hotspot)! Thanks for sharing.
 



Alongside the second public beta versions of iOS 13 and iPadOS, Apple today also released a revised third beta version of the operating systems for developers.

test-iOS-13.jpg

The reason for the new version isn't entirely clear, but the original third developer beta was not available for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus for some reason. Today's update, build 17A5522g, is only a very minor increment from the 17A5522f build of the original release, but Apple appears to be pushing it out for all devices, not just the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus that had not originally received it.

Registered developers will need to download the profile for the iOS 13 and iPadOS betas from Apple's Developer Center. The revised Beta 3 can be downloaded over-the-air once the proper profile has been installed.

I have some concerns about the initial public beta. I watched my battery capacity go from 100% on my iPhone XS Max to 97% in just 3 days. I also felt my phone getting hot every time I left my house and the modem would fail to switch to cellular and continually tried the WiFi connection. The only way I could send or receive data was by turning WiFi off.

I was also going down to 20 percent by noon each day and was hardly using the phone. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow.
I was also able to download the new beta without downloading a new profile. I did it over the air.

That is literally the way my iPhone X with an Intel baseband acts with the latest version of iOS 12.
 
I only had public beta 1 (beta 2) and then a few days ago installed a developer profile for beta 3 and it has been much worse than beta 2 for the device I am testing on, a 2018 12.9” iPad Pro. The external drive support somehow managed to get worse. Like SD cards will read fine but then they start to not read any more until they never mount. I can mount it on macOS fine and check the card in Disk Utility and it’s fine. My Samsung T5 SSD seems to work better but it’s useless if I can’t dump SD cards to it. I don’t typically like to rely on beta software but I was going to test it a ton and if it was good I was going to bring my iPad Pro and a couple drives on my vacation next week. Guess I’ll be lugging along the MacBook Pro for the last time (as long as Apple doesn’t pull support for external drives before launch) unless this beta somehow fixes that and I’m confident it will work.

A bug bounty program would help, but Apple is too stingy for that.
Personally, I don’t report bugs anymore.
