I also have an rMBP. My bluetooth and WiFi are on together all the time. It is working just fine.
Ever since joining this beta, my WiFi has been a problem. I wake up the iMac. WiFi appears to be connected, but I can't use the Internet.
Quickest solution is to switch to my other wireless band (5Ghz to 2.4 Ghz and vice versa).
I've reported several times ... does Apple even care about these WiFi problems? Doesn't seem like it.
Edit: I have a MBP that is not running the beta OS ... no problems with the same WiFi network.

Snow Leopard on release was a piece of crap.
People lost data because of a massive bug (resolved in 10.6.1). It had memory management issues that were never resolved.
Inactive memory wasn't being released to apps and just caused paging to disk. I for one, was glad to go to Lion (even though that was buggy too).
Yes I did file a bug report with Apple. They came back and asked for more info which I provided.

Do you use an external bluetooth and mouse? I do. Or better I would like to. Not sure if thats the trigger.
To add something here as so many question that I do have exactly this issue I can absolutely reproduce it on my 13" rMBP. I do use 2 Apple rMBPs. My other one is a 15" machine that I do use in the exact same setup with a large screen - on that one (the 15") I have not this problem just on the 13".
I do have to add that on the 15" I use a different wifi router then on the 13". No idea what it is because I use it at work. Could be configured at the 5 GHz band.
At home with my 13" I use only Apple hardware - a timecapsule and to extend the network an Express
Has anyone else noticed HUGE memory usage by Safari? I have 4 tabs open;
the Macrumors main page
this forum / thread page
a page about rebuilding Apple Mail mailboxes
and a Duckduckgo search page.
The main entry for Safari in the Activity monitor is showing slightly over 9 Gb??
My machine has 16 Gb actual and slows to a crawl periodically. The prior beta never had this happen.

Hmmm maybe it depends on our location, on the server to which I connect. Every other thing I download from the App Store is lightning quick though.
Users & Groups ->Login option -> Name and password not working for me, i get a list of users at login even when selecting name and password. Have reported.
I just hope they fix the wifi connectivity.
The past 3 betas have been creating havoc trying to use wifi and downloading.
Only solution so far is turning off wifi, then turning it back on and waiting several minutes....then things work again.
To be honest I have not noticed a single other things that has been listed.

Hell, yes! I'm so tired of these sloppy releases. Apple is still chasing bugs in 10.10 and 10.11 is due out in 6 months.
I'm still debating the clean install. Maybe I'll try the upgrade first. See how it goes, if all is good, then I'll have my answer.
Same setup, same 'problem' - though it's not really a problem as it all finishes faster than expectations, which is good!

Don't get it - I'm on a 2012 MBP Retina, have been on the Yosemite Beta Test since the beginning and have never experienced any of these WiFi or Bluetooth issues. I wake up the iMac and...it just works.....
Bring on the public release already. And don't stop with the future updates till Yosemite is, how do you say? "Snow Leopard worthy?" Just sayin'
Between emotion icons, a cloud photo app and a fancy watch I hope they find the time to fix the buggy mess that is yosemite. I have various problems with 1 Mac Pro and 2 MacBook Pros that I never had with any previous version of OS X. Sometimes 10.10 seems worse than Windows ever was.
This bug is killing me...
For the last two seeds I have been without continuous scrolling in the Calendar App when displayed in month view. It drives me nuts. I poked around some in the Apple discussion forums and it doesn't appear to be too widespread a problem, but as with any issue there-- if you can name it (an issue), then someone else has it. Some people have reported this issue going back many versions of OSX. I tried a lot of the possible solutions suggested (everything from a simple restart to resetting the PRAM) and nothing has alleviated the problem.
This morning, I was so bent out of shape that I shelled out 40 bucks for Fantastical-- which strikes me as a hell of a lot of money for a Calendar app. After having downloaded it-- I learned that continuous scrolling doesn't work there either!
The Mac that is having this issue is a Mid 2011 27-inch iMac with a 3.4 GHz i7 with 8 Gigs of ram. My other machine is a late 2013 13 inch MBPr running the latest non beta version of Yosemite. There are no issues there.
So I ask here-- if for no other reason that I know I am not alone-- is anyone else experiencing this?

hope 10.10.3 fixes kernel panic
I found that Mavericks is super stable on the 2010 Mac Mini. Yosemite 10.10.2 causes constant kernel panics on brand new 2012 Mac Mini, 16GB, 500gb spinner drive. Kernal panic during update from 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 when done under Admin user. Deleting Admin user and recreating another Admin did not resolve the problem. Disconnecting external USB drive also causes kernel panic. All diagnostics show the 2012 Mac Mini is not the problem. Yosemite is definitely not ready for prime time. I sure hope 10.10.3 is an improvement.
added info:
I read where someone said that his Mac Mini didn't run so well with 16gb of memory, so I pulled one 8gb memory chip and it stopped the kernal panics I was getting. I even added one original 2gb memory chip that came with the Mini for a total of 10gb. Yosemite 10.10.2 is very stable and runs with no problems at all now.

Got 0 kernel panic on my 2012 mini on any Yosemite version, including all the betas.
You have the original memory installed, or you upgraded it yourself? Also, if it's brand new, maybe you should take it to an Apple Store to have it checked.

Seventh... seventh beta yet WiFi issues still persist. Seventh! Seriously people... I know the new watch, new music services and the whole car business stuff is really taking up some brain power over there but someone please... please... fix WiFi... oh, and iTunes, and iCloud, and Time Machine back up issues. Less pastel colors, more stability in the next release. Oh, and Mail sucks so badly now that I've switched to the new Outlook.
Rant mode off...

It is possible the new OS hits memory areas, not hit before. Got that on a version Linux, which wouldn't boot even though I could boot Another Version of Linux, FreeBSD, Windows XP and NT 4.0.

Have you tested your WIFI with some other router to see if it does the same thing. Maybe its the weird interaction between your router and your machine that's at issue. They majorly rewrote WIFI/Bluetooth in the last few years and sometimes when they do that, it changes the timing of the protocols (often making it more strict, closer to standard, introducing some new default settings different than in the past). This sometimes breaks routers that are off because of age, or configuration.
