iOS 9 Beta 3

[Shirasaki]

No offense, but what the heck are you trying to say?

Um...

I know this is...ugh...

Wednesday is the last day for "early next week", so I say "late early" this week.

Thursday is the first day for "late next week", so I say "early late" this week.

And iOS 9 beta 3 was released in Wednesday, so it was released "early this week".

I should not play with such trivial details.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Where is it? Didnt Eddie Money say, "Early next week" last week?!

Eddie money?

Eddie money?

Yes. Eddie Money:

Why have they changed the sharesheets to floating instead of edge-to-edge?

As much as I was impressed with beta 2, this beta 3 really blew it, especially with battery life. Don't understand why improvements get negated after being put in place...

Typing seems different, can't tell what exactly though. Some effect/animation is missing or has changed.

Found it!

Try entering you passcode (not PIN), set it to letters and then when you type at the lock screen letters pop up a bit, so you can see what letter you pressed with your finger.

Then open Spotlight and type anything, letters aren't popping up instead they're just "push-in" or whatever you call it.

Running 5s

The beta (public beta 1) is working beautifully for me now.

I did notice a bug where my battery was draining crazy fast with the power save mode on

However when I turned it off, it became very good.

So far for me, much better battery performance than 8.4 was this morning.

Phone was laggy initially but now it's running great. No other bugs noticed. All apps seems to work and load fine.

Very impressed! I really like the new font a lot too.

I have a friend who is running it on his 4s and after an initial "slowness" period where everything was lagging and slow, it's now performing much better - he states slightly better and smoother than 8.4

Public beta seems to be running good so far for me! One thing I'm not a fan of so far is when you're closing apps. Why are they to the far left, and not right?

It would make more sense apps to close right and continuity to the left

Public beta seems very fast for me on my iPhone 5. Mildly impressed.

Running public beta 1 and it's all good so far. Only issue I've run into so far is Siri doesn't make sound when activating (yes I have the ringer on, and checked the settings for this too).

Apparently it was removed

Most people are right handed and the apps scroll from left as you swipe up at approximately the middle of the screen.

It's a bit weird without it. All of the other virtual assistants at least beep to let you know it's listening. I do think a single quicky beep like dictation would be a better tone choice.

All they had/have to do was make it so when the ringer switch is to silent it makes no sound, beep or voice. Make it customizable with the toggle switch in the settings.

I dont think it will stay out long; or is just a bug.

Any one else have an issue with a hot iPhone 6 plus which hasn't charged over night?

I was going to go back to Beta 3, after waiting to see if I'm getting a new phone, but since PB1 is the same as DP3, I just went ahead and put on PB1 (though even if I get a new phone I could just register the UDID on the dev account), since this way I get the feedback assistant on my phone <3

any one having issue while reset all settings iPhone 6 plus?

i was on beta 3, had home screen bug and several other issues. so i tried resetting all settings, now it's stuck on white Apple progress screen with full progress bar.

Have you tried a force restart? Thankfully I didn't do this.

Sometimes subsequent beta releases may be less stable than the previous ones as they introduce new features and tweaks. It's a common occurrence. I agree battery life isn't as good as b2 but it's still better than b1.

I was having issues with Apple Music at first with b3 but they seem to have gone now. I think if you have good signal it works well, if you don't it doesn't.

Yea, I don't think the sound is gone. If you're looking away and hear it your know what it is. When competitors use it in commercials you ignore and they play the tone as part of the comparison you look up at the TV. The watch is silent with just a buzz which the phone now matches but I think its going to return.

I found that to be the case with 8.4 as well. The music app is very dependent on data. The tabs (My Music is the exception) will not load if I have a weak signal. Thankfully coverage for both WiFi and LTE are good here but there are spots that I can have issues.

Just a quick one with iOS 9 when you swipe left or down for Spotlight search, I thought it automatically showed people to contact, locations nearby to which you could expand for more and what not.

I've checked my settings everything is on, but when I swipe it doesn't show anything, except for the search bar

There is nothing else to turn on, if you don't see anything after a while it's an issue with your specific device. You could try a few things to get it going like restart or reload but then again maybe wait for the next update and see if it shows up. Outside of settings-general-spotlight search you have nothing to change. Assuming everything is on there just keep trying to get it reset. Mine did not show for a few hours but did eventually show up.

I would agree with this, it seems very temperamental. It comes and goes for me, but is generally more reliable on my iPad Air than my iPhone 6.
