iOS 9.2 Public Beta 4 Released

[robertk328]

The update when just fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad mini 2, but when it was complete I found it felt it had to re-download all of my podcast data. I don't know what that was all about.
I haven't found anything else that thinks it lost all of its data in the upgrade.

I had to redownload some, too! Not all, but a few of the more recent ones. Glad I saw your post before heading out for the day.

When I went from 9.1 to 9.2 Beta 3 I lost all of my offline music. Not so going from Beta 3 to Beta 4!

Beta 4 runs just as smoothly as it did with the previous beta, but then again, I rarely have any problems with updates, thankfully...

Anyone see how different the fluid swiping left and right, up and down changed in the app switcher on beta 3? Has that been improved upon for 4?

Very fluid for me on 4. I hardly have any issues in these betas. Knock on wood.

Whenever I receive a text message, it cuts off the notification sound.

I'm the same. I had traded my 64GB 6 for a 64GB 6 Plus and I thought the person I swapped with gave me a dud. Got a new one from the Apple Store and still had some lag and stuttering. Loaded up 9.2 Beta 3 and now Beta 4 and this is everything I expect from an iOS device. Almost overreacted when I was experiencing these issue that I hadn't experienced before. Glad I had just a bit more patience than I normally have with devices.

I don't know why, but my battery life is great after installing the latest beta. 8.75 hours of standby and 50 minutes of actual use and I am still at 92%

The battery life is a lot better on 9.2 than 9.1 on my 6 Plus. iOS 9.1 stunk on ice when it came to battery life.

As others have already said, iOS 9.2 makes my iPhone run like an iPhone again. I'd even go so far as to say that iOS 9.2 makes me love my iPhone again. The first few versions of iOS 9.x really had me feeling disappointed with Apple and I have a feeling that I'm not the only one thinking that way.

How D: I'm still barely pushing 5/6 hours

I installed about 3 hours ago, and I know that it takes time to "settle in", but listening to music and answering some emails and I'm still on 99%. I'm going to let it go off the charger over night and see what it looks like in the morning.

Good luck!

I'm still running 9.1. Thinking about loading up beta 4.

Outstanding!....

Go for it. I highly doubt you'll regret it, my friend...

 

[Robert Shouse]

No idea. At almost 15 hours standby and almost 5 usage and still at 30%. But I like it!

Good morning all!

OK, phone was off of the charger all night. Went to sleep around 10, battery was 99%...woke up at 5 am (day off too!) and batter was 96%. IMHO, this is great battery life, especially since the software update has only been installed for a little over 12 hours.

Go for it! I've been running all of the 9.2 beta's and each one just keeps improving the device...you won't be sorry!

Strange - I don't see News. It works in Canada for US region but when I switched to Canada and rebooted it is still not there...
Anybody?

Is the News app feature even available in Canada yet? I don't think so.

No, it's only available in the US, UK and Australia currently.
