Paul,

I’ve seeen this behavior as well. Someone posted it might have to do with new iPad battery management feature.

I’ve noticed sometimes on my iPad 10.5, that I can’t get it charged to 100%, but if I unplug it around 95% still have about the same battery usage when I hit 75%.

I think it has more to do with difficulty of reporting state of charge based solely on battery voltage. 3V is fully discharged and 4.2V is fully charged (assuming normal 4.2V lithium chemistry). But the relationship to state of charge in between those two end points is not set in stone and subject to calibration issues. I'm wondering if they simply revised the voltage vs. state of charge lookup table.

Had this happen today:

I plugged iPad in and was charging it from about 78%. It got to 94% and pretty much was stuck there, even though I had it plugged in for a long time. Never made it to 100%. Shut down iPad at 94% and when I turned it back on, it was now at 98%? Then it charged to 100% from there. I reported this. Hope my battery isn’t failing. iPad is maybe 8 months old.

This sounds exactly like the new iPad charging feature you referenced. I don’t think your battery is failing. Curious if beta 2 changes this behavior at all.

Chaz,

Thanks for confirming.

Apple rep ran diagnostic on my battery and it’s fine. Funny thing is, rep said her iPad running beta has same issue. She’s reported it as well. Haha

Sounds like she confirmed it too! Good to know. I bet they are testing the feature and in later date will figure out when to activate the feature properly (meaning recognizing when the iPad is consistently being plugged in and left on the changer most of the time, instead of someone just wanting to give their iPad a full charge before a flight for instance.)

Bug report: "remove download" in TV app pop-up contents are not centered vertically.

when this happened to me on my iPhone, I'd unplug and replug it... A few seconds later it would say 100%
 
like 6 iOS generations later and deleting attached iMessage photos is still a pain the a ... like i delete a bunch of photos, go back into the attachments and some of those images i just deleted are still there. sometimes i have to re-do it like 3 times for them to finally be gone.

Ok, so I have a weirdly specific bug having to do with mail. If you are reading emails with the list filtered to unread emails only, then receive a new email while currently reading one. The mail app will kick you to the next unread email. It’s pretty frustrating if you are in the middle of reading something lengthy like a newsletter. I’d update the wiki, but I don’t have the rights to yet.

Also, all the problems of messages in the cloud from the previous beta still remain. It’s not actually syncing properly across my devices. I think it’s also somehow messed up the storage counts of the messages on my phone. The storage tab in settings says that messages takes up 226MB on my phone and inside of the conversations tab there are individual threads over 1GB in size. So I’m not sure at all what the issue is with syncing, but messages in general seem to be kind of hosed currently.

I think for the messages case this is not a bug. After syncing messages, your device delete most of the old messages from the device since they are in the cloud now and can be accessed when you scroll up (it downloads them from the cloud). Hence, you have 1GB in size of messages but your device only stores for example 100 MB of thread unless you scroll up to see old messages.

I would agree with you except that my storage in the cloud is only 75MB. And if I setup a new device it gets very few of the messages on my devices, about the 75MB it says is stored in iCloud. I had something weird happen to me during the 11.3 beta and I reset the messages in iCloud, from then on the stuff that has actually been synced to the cloud has only been things that have arrived after that reset date. So the end result is messages in the cloud is eight different kinds of messed up on my devices. There is pretty much nowhere I can see the actual amount of storage that my messages are taking up. Prior to that reset the space in iCloud was about 5GB which is believable since it was multiple years of messages with attachments. So I think in my specific case it’s kind of a reset gone wrong situation. I’ve reported it Apple and so far haven’t heard anything else about it. I’m not sure if anyone else has something similar that occurred to them.

iPhone X having battery charging issues as well. Gets stuck at 80% then will very slowly get up to 100%. Phone is only about a month old and this is new behavior with beta 1.
 
Found another bug:

When I play a single song repeatedly it can get stuck at the very end of playback. Clicking on play/pause button does nothing and I have to click "<<" to start playback from the beginning. Changing song to another one helps too. Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone else with this error, ""Messages in iCloud not available" "Messages in iCloud is not available because iCloud and iMessage accounts are different". Before this beta, I didn't have a problem with messages in the cloud.

I skipped beta but got this message in 11.4 release when I tried to turn the feature on. Apple used to tell us how to fix problems when they occur. I have no idea what’s wrong here. How do I make accounts the same?

I got that message during the beta. For me it is because my Apple ID came from the Mac.com days. So it was the same Apple ID, but signed in with two different @s. Since my Apple ID can be used as @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com. It stepped me through changing them to match though in the beta. I’m not sure if you just have two totally different accounts, though.
