re: Public 10.3 Beta 5 Available

Having gone straight from 10.2.1 to beta 10 4, huge huge difference in battery life.. it's horrible. Just a few minutes of texting and I lost 20% battery. This was a clean install, too.

Well, you know that clean installs are always hard on battery as spotlight works in the background to index the phone. (Not saying that the beta is not hard on battery - I've decided to stay away from point upgrade betas myself - but this is well known about clean installs and even upgrades.)

I'm not new to betas. ;) I've never had battery drain like this on a fresh install with any of the betas I've tested. Some battery drain is obviously expected with a new setup, but this is crazy. I've only been texting and from the time I posted earlier to now I'm sitting at 57% with 2 hours of use, and I haven't been texting steadily. No Facebook or anything else since I'm typically in my office at home on my PC.

I tried beta 1 and 2 on iPhone 6s Plus and found the battery life to be horrible. Upgraded to 7 plus and went to beta 4 yesterday and have noticed pretty good battery life. At least as good as 10.2. Wondering if you have a errant app or something else going on to be that far off. I've been on battery for 8 hours 10 minutes and 2 hours 10 minutes use at 90% battery still.

Finally able to backup using iCloud!!! Yeah!!!

Now when I attempt to do an iCloud backup, I get an error that says I dont have enough space in iCloud to back up the phone, even though I've only used 1.8 GB of my 5GB storage..

how big is the backup you're trying to make? can you delete the existing backup?

I'm running beta 5. Still too early to tell on battery life but I'm hoping it was better than 4, which was brutal for me.
