Hopefully battery life is fixed. I never have problems with battery life like most people apparently do but there is no denying that 8.1.2 knocked 1-1.5 hours of my usage.
Got a tip for us?

Working much, much better for me as well. Well, Continuity has been fine for me, but AirDrop has never been speedy if the devices even popped up. Working very well at the moment.
Yeah airdrop has been a headache. They haven't fixed the closing Icloud tabs bug. Sort of part of continuity and that is an obvious bug I would have thought was at the top of the to fix list.
In all fairness, all the people I know personally who jailbreak do so to pirate software.
On my original iPad, it was jailbroken for this reason alone. At the time I felt cheated paying $0.99 for Angry Birds on my iPhone and then having to pay $4.99 on the iPad.
Edit: Not to say I did it simply for the one app. Was just an example.
I haven't been able to AirDrop from my iPhone 6 to my Late 2012 Mac mini, but everything else works. Will have to check this tonight...
It is annoying and hopefully they are addressed in either iOS 8.2 or iOS 9 but I'm sure they aren't a priority to fix. They probably know about them, they are just fixing the more important bugs.

Tried an OTA update to 8.1.3 on an iPhone 5 and after it downloaded and rebooted it showed the 'connect to iTunes' screen and wouldn't boot 
f.lux (justgetflux.com) would be the only reason I would got that route. Anything else is too complicated.
I encountered the last two problems rather frequently (but still less than maybe 20% of the time, which makes it impossible to immediately say whether they have been fixed). A couple of times, entering my Apple ID password also failed.
The fact that I encountered all three bugs reported as fixed makes me think that they were a rather common (or I must have been particularly unfortunate to have the conditions for all three bugs to appear).
careful
the update was problematic for me. back up your iPhone or iPad before u update. more later, panicking now

Updating now, but hoping to see these fixes:
- VIP email notifications bug (getting notifications for emails not from those in my VIP list)
- WiFi (when I join my partner's network, all devices slow to a crawl. When I hop off, it goes back to normal.)
- Overall more stability.
Hell yeah! I just have my 16 most used apps, four apps in the dock, and four other folders of stuff that isn't used that often all on one screen. Spotlight is often the easiest way to find an app that I hardly use and is buried in a folder.

It's not all about it, certainly, but it's very likely that the majority of people who jailbreak their iOS devices do so mainly to run 'pirated' apps.
/I have no data to back that up so I could be wrong. It's just a hypothesis based on a dose of common sense, understanding of human behavior, 20+ years of internet experience, and experience with people who even know what jailbreaking is.
Alright I'm on the newest update now. Phone restarted, and it's alive and well, so far. Really hoping the iMessage / 3rd party keyboard / spotlight bugs have been resolved... that will make my life better.
But why "standardized"? Why wouldn't this feature be provided for testing in general?
