Apple Seeds Second iOS 8.1 Beta to Developers

agsystems said:
Uh -the pool of 'testers' need to be expanded to include regular folks (assuming they don't do already). If I am a developer the only thing I will check is if my application is running fine on the new release and that's about it.

Otherwise all of these core services such WiFi, Cellular and Bluetooth will continue to ship broken - this is a yearly occurrence with the 0.x releases.

not realy. That would have to be after tesing the beta's since sometimes the early betas are missing some fucnctionality (especially with new implementations).

Maybe in the later betas that would be more reasonable.

Sure hope this fixes the syncing with iTunes issue. As it stands now, with my iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2, when it's attached directly to my iMac, syncing goes on for about an hour and about 25% of my songs, as well as some of my playlists, will not transfer to the iPhone. Everything syncs perfectly with my iPad Mini running iOS 7.1.2.

Same here with my iPhone 6
 
Just installed, kept getting iCloud errors saying my password was invalid. Took about 5 times to re-enter it before it went through.

The thing is I actually noticed differences in speed. My touch ID was constantly giving me an error initially but now it reads immediately

That's not a speed issue. That's a reliability issue. It's possible the sensor is... more reliable with the update (I doubt it), but it's not any faster.

Maybe I'm missing something. Is Touch ID slow for some people? It's plenty fast for me.

No it's not slow at all. People just really enjoy a nice iOS-update placebo. :)
 
I think I'll wait a couple of days before I update.. I remember the days when iOS updates were completely reliable and you didn't have to second guess it's performance quality.

I don't get how it can get any faster lol, you tap to wake up and it unlocks right away.

Honestly it's almost too fast these days. I generally wake up the phone when I just want to check the lock screen by pressing the home button. Touch ID has gotten so fast that even if I just tap the home button very quickly, more often than not it unlocks the phone anyway. I've had to train myself to use the power button instead.

THIS.

whenever i sync my phone to itunes it gets stuck on 'waiting to apply changes'
then some songs wouldnt sync - it would be selctable on the iphone, and immediately skip... then the song would be greyed out.

solution (after trial and error and researching for hours):
-download iFunbox
-go to the iphone raw directory
- delete everything in the 'Purchases' folder
- close itunes and restrat phone
- resync

wala.
have to do that every once in a while (mainly when itunes decides to automatically rename all my songs and replace album artwork...pain the ass i tell you...still dont know how to stop that...when that happens, the database gets corrupted.)

My battery seems like it's draining faster than b1.. Anyone else?

UGH don't tell me that! Im running it in an iPhone 5 and when i take the phone off the charger it says i have 5h and 25min of talk time. THANK GOD I'm rocking a juice pack.

It also could be that you just installed it so give it some time. Right now I have 65 percent battery and it says i have 1h and 44 minutes of talk time. lol.

LOL... not in the past 4 years. Betas have been a rollercoaster since at least the iOS5b days.

well if you're rocking the first beta there's no reason to not update to this one. you can always go back if whatever you use is broken.
 
Anybody else notice that the A8 chip in the iPhone 6 Plus is clocked ever so slightly higher?

this update can't come soon enough. Kudos to :apple: for trying to get iOS8 firing on all cylinders.
