iOS 10.3 Beta/Public Beta 6: Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

[GrievingFob606]

I guess PB6 is an updatebait.

Edit: You guys are right. Going to rename the title.

Wow, battery life is incredible on this update.
jk, installing now.
With this release being so recent from beta 5, I would not be surprised if we see a public gm of 10.3 soon.

Sad go report that app closing animation is choppy on my 7 Plus. Last beta was perfect.

The Homebutton Bug is still in Beta 6.
I have this issue since ios 10.3 Beta 1

Often i have to press 2 times on my Homebutton before i see a reaction and i come back to my my Homescreen.

With ios 10.2.1 i didnt had this issue.
I use an iPhone 7 plus.

Some other people have this problem too?

Battery life appear to be doing better while in use (may update this post later though)

Had problem with my iPhone that's why my post blank

Just need some advice I'm new to forum but I was on public beta profile but now on developers profile so will I get iOS 11 when due out to developers in June or have to wait until release to public beta testers

I'm on the latest beta, but it's still very slow...
My iPhone 6 was so fast before 10.3, anyone else experiencing this?

Often i have to press 2 times on my Homebutton before i see a reaction and i come back to my my Homescreen.

I had that, and all sorts of general sluggishness on my iPhone SE with these betas. My phone wasn't getting hot, just much slower than at its best. Home button interactions were quite unresponsive at times.

Anyway, today I backed the phone up on iTunes, restored it to factory settings from the phone, and then restored from the backup in iTunes. It took an hour, plus some cooling time until the Spotlight indices etc. were built.

It's all fine now, and fast as new. Using an encrypted backup restored everything, including heart rate history (from Apple Watch) and sign-in status of various accounts.

I'd recommend that approach. Just be sure to take an encrypted backup, transfer purchases etc. before diving in.

Or perhaps reserve that for the day the GM is released...

Guys, how is this thing running on iPhone 6? Any speed improvements in comparison to 10.2.1?

Really not any more recent, it's just that the last build was late. Builds at this stage in the cycle tend to be one week apart released on Mondays or Tuesdays.

Any iPhone took longer to charge after beta 6?

I wonder if the rotation lock bug is fixed on iPad Air 2

Just got the unresponsive home button bug some people were mentioning, and twice in a row too! Once again, the bug goes as follows:
1. Open an app.
2. Press the Home button to return to Home. It doesn't respond.
3. Press the Home button again, it should return to Home.

Can you Clear all notifications in Notification center and then wait for new mail notifications to appear in notification center.
I had observed that no notifications appeared in Notification center for new mails, and no sound for new mails.
Although other notifications like those for SMS continued to appear in Notification Center. And lock screen also contained all notifications.

Haven't had an issue with this.

Seems like past 3 betas have installed much slower than earlier versions....

iOS updates have always been slow to install it's not a bug it's a feature

Thank you kind sir

Glad to see that Qualcomm field test is still a crappy piece of junk from almost 5 years ago.

Try 10 years ago! I'm not sure it's changed any since the original iPhone (with the addition of 3G and LTE specific items). I wish they would make it more user friendly, and provide a setting to enable the signal decibel menu icon. It's nice to know specifics about the network you are on (for technical users and those interested)!

The home button bug is still in Beta 6.
I have had this issue since iOS 10.3 Beta 1.

Often I have to press my home button twice before it reacts and it brings me back to my home screen.

With iOS 10.2.1 I didn't have this issue.
I use an iPhone 7 Plus.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

It's probably just your specific unit. You're literally the only one I've seen so far who has reported the bug. I haven't seen anyone else in this thread or the previous threads post a reply about them experiencing the home button bug.
