iOS 10 Beta on a daily driver?

[Just_Me_D]

I'm having an issue but haven't exactly been able to nail down for certain it's the beta itself. If I have my EarPods in and start a call, I can't hear anything. I have to tap the Speaker button and then and tap it again and then proceed with the call using the Apple EarPods. It works fine if I quickly switch back and forth but shouldn't need to.

I don't think the beta is the culprit, although I could be mistaken. I've yet to experience what you've described while using my Apple EarPods. Maybe those who have will reply soon...

If I install the beta will I have to factory reset my phone when the general release comes out or will it just update to the general release?

Just update. But always keep a current back up just in case.

Awesome, thank you! It looks like I may update my work iPad, but first I need to look and see if Mobile Iron will do anything.

It's easy, you'll get the updates like normal but will have the benefit of trying the features in advance!

I'm on beta but when the official 10 arrives I don't have to do anything. What about the profil I downloaded to be able to test beta version. Should a delete or keep it? If I keep it, does that mean I will test IOS 10.1 and so on?

At this point I'd keep it for future betas, i.e. 10.0.1, etc. There's a chance at a new profile, but I am almost positive the current one would continue to work. If you don't want to be on those, go ahead and delete after you do the official update.

It's pretty solid with a few quirks!

It is!

Can't wait for PB4

Yeah I'm running pb3 on my main phone a 6s. Things have been great here. No problems at all for me. Really like some of the new features

So in other words I won't have to do anything special?

Is the current beta able to use on a daily driver iPhone? I would love to try it, but only have one device and no computer.

Yup!!

Public Beta 4 is very smooth so far, no crashes at all. Getting closer to GM.

You'd say it's a safe bet to install it as a public beta tester?

To be safe, back up your device first

Never had a problem on my side, I can't even be bothered to back up my device

I did it this time and really there hasn't been anything that has rendered it useless, but as I need my phone as an alarm clock and with literally every beta the volume has gotten totally messed up (either extremely loud or extremely low regardless of my phone and ringer volume), I'm not sure I'll do it again. Between the volume, the crashes and resets ... individually there is little to make me think twice next time, but all of the little things combined ...

Absolutely!

I put the 2nd PB on my wife's phone... and believe me, if it wasn't ready, I wouldn't have done that!

correct! You may get another pop-up to update on the final release, but otherwise that's it. Keep your beta profile so you can test any updates after that.
