iOS 12 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[GreyOS]

Same here. Fast and responsive. Also wifi seems to work better finally. Previously most mornings typically most apps either chugged trying to connect or had to force close and reopen. Or the real quick solution was to toggle the wifi off/on from control center to get things going again (like it wasn't coming out of sleep). So far with b7 I have not had to do this yet.

Great news if true about wifi

Something must have changed with the modem software. When you lose service, it rarely connects again by itself, you have to turn airplane mode on/off. If you send an iMessage with no service, it gets stuck even after you regain service and the only fix is hard reset or to just wait. Beta 6 was perfect in this regard. Verizon iPhone X intel version.

This is not new to iOS 12. I'm on 11.4.1 and this happens to me constantly. To be honest, I feel like this has been an issue through all of iOS 11.

Agreed, but strange that beta 6 did not have this issue. But yes, ever since 11.0 I have had this issue as well.

Is anyone having an issue with Iphone x, AT&T just spontaneously losing cellular for liek 10-15 seconds then coming back on? Its happening randomly wherever i go. From 5 bars to no service,then it just comes back on, almost like its doing some sort of reset. I know I am not losing signal as most of the time i am not moving around,this only started happening in ios 12.

I’m not on the beta and my is doing the same thing

 

[bobcaryh]

Very odd. Mine never ever lost cellular until the ios 12 beta. Ahh well

 

[atlchamp]

actually thinking of taking the plunge on my X

So for those of you who have Beta 7 and the application hangs haven't affected you or have passed, is the general consensus that it runs better than 11.4.1? I was on the early betas but dropped back to 11.4 for the jailbreak, which I've since given up.

I had thoughts of setting up permanent shop on 11.4.1 since it's a long known characteristic of iOS that devices always run their best on their native shipping software version but the X is so powerful that I can't imagine the small amount of added features of iOS 12 bringing it's performance down at all, especially since a lot of the changes made were for performance improvements.

I think that the “iphone works the best on a version it ships with” is no longer true since my 8 was garbage on 11.4.1 but works smoothly on ios 12 public beta 5

Beta 8 is here! No revision for beta 7

Beta 8 is here! No revision for beta 7

Not seeing the OTA yet.

Beta 8 is here! No revision for beta 7

OTA is out and it's a 210MB update from B7.

 

[cbreze]

I see it, 7 is running so smooth tho. Decision time coming

 

[adrianlondon]

Easy decision. It's a small update for those like me who are already running b7. I didn't have any issues with b7, so I'm assuming b8 is simply fixing a problem that I never had anyway. Plus, come on, will you really just sit it out and wait for b9? Can you resist?

 

[StaceyMJ86]

How is beta 8 so far?

 

[AZhappyjack]

How is beta 8 so far?

Awesome. The animations and transitions are smooth, apps and OS are stable, and I've already got 3 full days on a charge - just since 10 am today ... and ...

Actually, it appears to be silky smooth, but it's probably way too soon to tell much...

 

[Frehley]

Very smooth on my 8 Plus and X. Been running for about 5 hours on both and no lag and the battery seems great.

 

[TitsLegendary]

this beta is like 5 steps back

Beta 7 feels like a GM honestly my x is so fast and no issues dunno why it got pulled its perfect, just hope this level of smoothness stays till the end

So is it good or not? You're all over the place passing judgement on these betas.
