I’m really upset about WatchOS beta 3, the battery life is a disaster.

You might want to try re-pairing. My watch has been fine on B2..... been on my wrist doing it’s thing for over 12hrs today, and I’m at 62% battery.
 
Xinfity single sign on coming?

I hope so for xfinity's sake. The fact that I can't use Channel/content apps on devices including appletv but pay for them through Comcast is rapidly turning me—and many of my friends—into cord cutters.

they don’t seem to be, when I selected Verizon as my TV Provider there was a pop-up notification telling me they DON’T support single sign-on

Yes, Comcast showed the same error, but after your clear past that error you should see that it shows Comcast or Verizon in your case in the Single Sign On setting. So looks like it is working, there just is simply a bug where its showing that initial error for a second.
 



Apple provided the third beta of iOS 11 to developers this morning, introducing a range of feature refinements, speed improvements, bug fixes, and more. In the video and the post below, we've outlined all of the more significant tweaks and changes.


Though we're on the third beta of iOS 11, there are still many bugs in the software, which is to be expected with a beta. A list of new bugs and known issues can be found in the update's release notes, and developers should read the info carefully. iOS 11 beta 3, like earlier iOS 11 betas, should only be installed on secondary device.

- iPad App Switcher - When closing an app, the swipe to close gesture has been restored. Previously, it was necessary to hold down on an app and tap the "x" to close it when using the iPad's App Switcher interface.

- SOS - When using Apple's emergency alert feature, an SOS that's canceled will no longer send out notifications.

- Files app - OS X Server and Dropbox have been added to the Files app on the iPhone and the iPad as new Locations.

- TV Providers - Comcast, Cox, AT&T U-verse, Verizon Fios, Time Warner Cable, and more are all listed as new providers in the TV Providers section of the Settings app in iOS 11 beta 3, and they appear to allow users to take advantage of Single sign-on.

- Notification Center - There's no need to swipe a second time to see "Earlier Today" notifications in the Notification Center. All notifications are shown on the first downward swipe to get to the Lock Screen/Notification Center. In previous betas, you needed to swipe down to see unread notifications and then swipe up again to see earlier notifications. Beta 3 simplifies the Notification Center.

- iCloud Messages - The syncing feature that uploads your iMessages to iCloud in iOS 11 now lets you know how many messages still need to be uploaded.

- Screen Recording - When you 3D Touch the Screen Recording button in the Control Center, there's a new option to start a broadcast. Right now, the feature works like a standard screen recording and saves a video to the Camera Roll, but it could perhaps integrate with third-party apps in the future for automatic uploads.

- Music - When a song is playing in the Music app, tapping the song name from the Control Center will once again open the Music app.

The third beta of iOS 11 is limited to developers, but we expect Apple to release a second public beta later this week, which should be identical to the third developer beta.

Hope they fixed the bug
[doublepost=1499740176][/doublepost]I sure hope they fixed the major bug that makes it so your apps won't update in public beta iOS 11

Is this new or did I miss it in the past? On T-Mobile I can see my current data, call, text usage, and billing end-date in Settings > Cellular > Usage. Don’t know about other carriers.

That’s new in iOS 11.... “Carrier Data Usage” as it’s called on the feature slide in the Keynote. Verizon doesn’t support it yet.

It seems iOS is using some sort of workaround to support a pseudo "Single Sign On".
If this is true, it may work for other providers reported above as not working.
 
I’m not sure what their endgame is with Notification Center. Like it was fine, they just needed a way to pull up past notifications.
They don't have an endgame for Notification Center, and they never have. Every single major release of iOS has changed Notification Center in one way or another. iOS is literally the worst when it comes to handling notifications.

Let me test that theory. I’ll sign into an app using the login code method and see if other apps are automatically signed in.
 
Finally Fios is added, I'm tired of constantly having to reverify my subscription every couple of days.
 
OSX Server? Now I'm utterly clueless about this, but would that suggest if one of the macs on your network was running OSX Server that you could set up a NAS/DAS volume to connect to the iOS device?
