iOS 9.3 Beta 2 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[SMIDG3T]

I do.

It doesn't warrant a spot for Quick Actions in Settings though. I'm glad they removed it.

Unfortunate news.. The lag that was present in 9.0-9.2.1, and was fixed in 9.3 is back in this beta. Install with caution. I'm on 6 Plus

If so I'm not installing this beta... 1.1 was perfect on my 6 plus. I never thought to have so good animations and fluidity since 8.4.1... It's like butter.

Hope they fix this again...Maybe isn't just optimized because of the changes.

Not installing a new beta until beta 3.

I'd agree.

Think about it - 3D touch really should be restricted to things that truly "deserve" the place. We'd end up with an ugly huge list otherwise. Sure, changing wallpaper kind of makes sense to be there, but it's not important enough in my opinion to take up a slot.

Perhaps eventually Apple will just let people customise what is included in 3D touch menus through an API.

The new icon for night shift is horrendous,
It's nearly identical to DND, plus it looks like a lemon.

Bring back the lampshade... It almost deserved an #BringBacktheLampshade on Twitter

The placement on the CC is not ok to... The icon should be on top, and 5 icons on the bottom row looks really ugly, beside the radius shape of the rectangle and space itself changed on the icons.

C'mon Apple fix this!

Still present the settings animation lag that make jump the page you are leaving. The transition when you open a menu for example Facebook, or Note, or anything under " not disturb " is not smooth

What about pulling the control center up beyond the "open" position?

This is what lags for me in older versions of iOS9 - pulling it up higher is very low FPS whilst it's being pulled.

Nope, no lag, full 60 fps, only on the lockscreen there is a slight stutter but it still looks miles away better than the previous versions.

I agree, it s ulgy af but I don t care really, I am glad they are fixing the UI stutter and the glitches.

Performance Regressions

• On devices utilizing OpenGL rendering pipeline such as the iPhone 5, Control Center and Spotlight pulldown are no longer 60fps smooth. The smoothness is now close to devices utilizing Metal as their rendering pipeline.

Guess that's how you "fix" the difference.

I am dump, can someone please explain what that means?

Settings > General > Profiles

near the bottom

Like here?

Or the other bottom?

Bug (turned on toggles are dark) when turning on then off the Reduce Transparency in settings.

I think he was joking about how if you can't fix Metal, just make OpenGL as slow on older devices running iOS9 then nobody can compare the difference anymore

Is the bug where call ends with power button fixed when connected to a call on a Bluetooth headset fixed?? This was a major problem in iOS 9.3 beta 1 and I had to go back on my iPhone 6 Plus as I do lots of conference calls and I would turn the screen off to save battery.

Bug (turned on toggles are dark) when turning on then off the Reduce Transparency in settings.

I think switching Transparency on/off always has always caused a few issues. Even on iOS8 there are some big problems with it - one such bug is switching it on, going to home screen, pulling down notifications, then toggling it off... this causes the home screen to become really pixelated with any blur effects.

With such a big UI change such as this setting, I'd recommend a reboot of the phone to be honest. Not really the best solution, but yeah...

Has the bug been fixed when you turn your screen on and it would briefly flash green?

Like here:


But it is a dynamic menu item - it only appears IF you have a profile installed.

I kinda have to agree. Wallpaper doesn't seem a setting used often enough to warrant a 3D Touch shortcut. I still think apple should just make Settings shortcuts dynamic for recent/most common used by the user.

Though I suspect it's just a bug for it not showing up in beta 2. With the obviously work they are doing with adding new shortcuts and such for other apps, it doesn't surprise me a bug elsewhere in 3D Touch shortcuts has popped up.

I change my wallpaper quite frequently (primarily the LS wallpaper)... having the 3D shortcut was nice, but if they actually removed it (vs it being a bug), it's not the end of the world, for sure.

So any updates on the performance of iPhone 6 Plus?

 

[dadiduekappa]

iCloud backup service not working for me. Same for you?

Odd. I'm definitely on the public beta.

Hi, I'm newbie in public betas, when a new beta is released what do you do? do you delete your profile and install it again? or you do nothing and wait for OTA to appear?

 

[trebb]

How are third party keyboards in 9.3? I'm on 9.3b1 and haven't seen or heard much about it. Still as buggy as always?

 

[Andreas00]

Noticing stutter in the NC for the first time ever in this beta on an iPhone 6 plus

 

[CagdasCizer]

Well I am stopping the updates on my fathers iphone 5 from now on
[doublepost=1453819493][/doublepost]My 6+ control center lags like it has never been before. And I don't usually complain about such things. Overall performance seems to be on par with previous software. Battery life is just as bad as b1 for me.

Icon missing for Redeem in iTunes Store. Think it was in beta 1.

Once the profile is installed, just do the dates via Settings > General > Software update.

There are two separate beta profiles - public beta and developer preview (beta). So far the PB updates have been released within a day of the DP updates for iOS 9.3. It wasn't necessarily that way with prior versions...
