can you elaborate?
thx

I used to live on the edge of the 3D Satellite data (literally my house wasn't 3D but the houses opposite were).

Now the 3D Data extends an extra 5 miles past that previous cut off in South East London.
 
Why is My photo stream still there? What is it's purpose now that we have icloud photo library?

Also, how do you delete photos and videos off your phone, and only have them in the cloud? Isn't that one of the main points about icloud photo? Your Camera roll is the cloud?

Im going to guess that once the beta is over photo stream will remain until all of the photo-stream enabled devices on your account are moved over to ios8/drive
 
Haven't used iPhoto in a while, but that makes sense, thanks for the tip!

now lets figure out what the hell happened to handoff. my buddy thinks they could have done something to test whether it can be deactivated on new machines (new iMacs macbook pros etc) so they can figure out how to activate it on old machines---he could be just crazy tho ;)
 
I also did hard-reset and was then booted into beta 5.

Same thing happened to me. Left mine at the 99% waiting for about an hour and it just gets hotter and hotter. Just did a hard reset now and it booted into beta 5. That was weird.

nice find :) Is this new data exclusive to ios8 though? I'm just curious if the new data sets are held to the ios update... does not seem like there would be a reason to do so.
 
Did anyone install this update over-the-air? I'm stuck with at the logo with 95% on the progress meter for about 20 minutes. :(

I shouldn't have been lazy and just install with my Mac...

Me too. Not the normal logo, but a greyed out one - the only way I can describe it is that I keep touching the screen of the iPhone as I think it is about to go to sleep!
 
Given iOS 7's buggy release I'm not sure why they even bother with all the Betas - developers don't seem to pick up on many.

I'm sorry but that's simply untrue. We catch plenty. If you saw the progression from b1 to GM that would be obvious. This beta round has been much smoother than last year's imo.

thats what my iPad mini 1 is doing right now. think its the old chips---do you have a 5s or 5 or 4s?
 
I have not done an OTA update WITH iOS 8 yet, i've only done full restores. Is it normal for the OTA to ask for a 4 digit passcode? I tried the passcode to my phone and that did not work. I am not sure what the passcode is. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Never mind i got it to work.

New Folder Animation

Anyone else notice that the titles on folders animate slightly now, whenever you open them? Pretty certain thats new.

Passcode request is normal and should be the same passcode you use to unlock your iPhone.
 
5s, so in theory it should be quick?

yeah mine was my mini 1 has been stuck on 95% for 20 mins tho...im gonna go to work and leave it on the charger and deal with it when i come back hopefully you guys tell me the best way to solve this issue.



i just hard reset mine and it booted in to finishing the upgrade all good here.
 
Maybe they are keeping everything local as well as in the cloud because they plan on doing an icloud wipe again before the final release. Then maybe they will separate local photos from icloud....so they are not in both places.

Well I checked in beta 3 and it didn't have 3D for my area. I did not check beta 4 though. So maybe it is a coincidence but it does seem new! :confused:
