iOS 9.0 beta 2 Bug Fixes and Changes

[hunt2013]

Lol true, I hear that indexing thing since 8.0 and its lags everywhere even on lastest devices. I guess iOS will never be as fluid and responsive as iOS 6 or 7, we'll have to get used to it.

Nah it's just always indexing

Radio tab is completely blank in Music app, though My Music is working perfectly.

Noticing a big performance boost. Hopefully it continues that way.

What device are you on?

Same here. Maybe the patch notes got it wrong and meant to say Radio wouldn't work. Or it's just waiting till Apple Music launch.

I was just able to make and receive a FaceTime Call!

That's so that you do not doubt your hardware. According to release notes, facetime should be a problem on iPhone 6 and maybe 6+ also, and some iPads.

any news on FT for 6's and 6 pluses ?

 

[mizxco]

I can confirm that as of iOS 9 beta 2. The field test app has not been optimized for screen sizes on devices newer than the iPhone 4s.

Be grateful you get the flat UI.

Oh sorry. I'm on iPad Air 2

I want others to verify before I add to the wiki--

Did anyone notice the scrolling inertia has been reduced in the app switcher?

 

[Stupotpot]

I'm not getting this at all - still showing as normal with a white background

It seems I'm an idiot. I left the phone installing the update whilst I did the dishes...came back and it was on the home screen so assumed it was done.

I just checked software update again and see the OTA option. Looks like I was on beta 1 all along.....

I'm really curious about the temporary deletion if apps to make room for system updates. That is a really cool idea. I wonder how they will handle save data though. Will it all resume normally afterwards, like you never deleted the app? Some apps hoard lots of cache data too.

Probably just temporarily backs it up to iClould like a backup does.

I'm guessing app data is not removed for a period of time, maybe until a restart.
I deleted an app and re-synced from iTunes, app data was still intact.

The mail app seems a lot more stable.

 

[VSMacOne]

Still not perfect, but i'm noticing much better responsiveness across the entire system on my 6 Plus.

Siri suggestions is showing apps that I actually use now

 

[rorschach]

Handoff once again shows up in the app switcher (bug from beta 1).

New York and no OTA update yet.

Sydney Australia. Ota successful.

Also, please tell if the new Music icon is there in this beta or not.

New music app is still the old icon. Looks like new icon will only be available in iOS 8.4 final release.

Maybe it handles such data similar to how it handles memory. It will keep the data around but mark it for deletion until a process needs more space. Similar to a hidden rubbish bin.

Did you really expect b2 to be perfect? What's b3, b4 or even 9.0.1 for then?

 

[The Doctor11]

My iPad is not getting as hot as the sun within 2 minutes any more!!!!!!!!!!! This is a true miracle.

 

[ajiuo]

And yes I already noticed a battery difference

 

[Shirasaki]

Anyone can confirm if OTA is working without a registered UDID?

Thank you

Work.
I don't register udid.
