So far so good. It seems that all 5 of the issues I reported have been fixed. Im still seeing a lot battery drain, and Google Play Services seems to be sucking a lot juice. Everything else is working very well. Bravo!!!

I still can't connect my watch to my phone. It's still connects via Bluetooth but other than that it still does not show a completed connection to be able to use the phone functionality or should I say it connectivity with the watch

My watch 6 Classic will STILL now accept / show the update as being available. When checking for updates it shows it's already on the latest even though I was accepted into the beta program. Shows on One UI 6 software version R965USQS1BYH1

I'm having an issue selecting words that are in the suggested list when I respond to a text if it is grey it wouldn't let me select the word but when I typed in one more letter and it was highlighted blue it would let me select the word.

It's always been a little difficult to select anything along the egde of the 6 classic's screen. I kind of wished if there was a way to make the word suggestions kind of either pull down when you try select something on the edge of the screen or pop up and magnify that section of the screen so it would be easier to select it. Just like the send button is difficult to select as well as M L P Z A Q as well as the slide out that let's you select the different keyboards like numbers and symbols. I know most would use the text to speech or their phone instead but when you aren't near your phone or in a meeting where you can't talk or pull out your phone for whatever reason it would be great if it were easier to type on. Maybe it's just me but I like the classics bezel because it helps with navigation and selection of different cards but it mays the edge of the screen really difficult to work with. I know I went off on a tangent here but I don't see why I can't select a word suggestion like I used to be able to do in the previous One UI when it is suggesting it.

I have to say that battery life is still an issue. It's not 1% a minute like is was with Beta 1, but it's 1% per 5 minutes easily.

Where's Beta 3?
