I got it to work, now I should let the phone die then re-charge to 100%? What happens if my phone still has the "bug" Do I just go back to iOS 7? (Battery was fine then)
I have a problem with AIRDROP, I'm trying to send just about any file from one iOS Device to another and it finds the other iOS Device and you can select it but it just continues to say "Waiting" and I never receive a notification on my other iOS Device to Accept the Airdropped file.
Anyone able to send file successfully?

Also, maybe this is just me, but on my iPhone 5S and my iPad Air. If i double click the home button and try and close out more than one app at a time I get the app not really deleted. Also, I am getting iCloud photo sharing showing up twice in sharing option for photos and whatnot.

Same here. After it sat there for like 2 minutes I was able to get it to send. Basically I tried to airdrop from my iPhone 5S to my rMBP. My rMBP saw my iPhone but my iPhone didn't see it. Then i tried with my iPad Air and it worked right away.
Calling Bug
here's something interesting......i've noticed now if I dial out from my MBA running DP5, the call connects but then it puts my 5s into a constant reboot screen with the apple logo, then lock screen, then apple logo and on and on....
anyone else notice this?

I'm getting the status bar disappear for a split second too on the home screen. Nothing major though, it just quickly pops back into view when you go back to the home screen.
The missing app preview from multitasking was happening to me (iPhone 5s and iPad 3) on iOS 7 so I think it's a bug that they can't replicate and fix perhaps? I've had this issue for ages. Quick fix is to swipe up again as if you were to remove it and it'll disappear like normal.

all the people who say "haven't got any battery issues" are full of crap or aren't really power users...beta 4 was horrendous when it came to battery life. it was beyond terrible never experienced something so dreadful
In all fairness, just because it happened to you doesn't mean that other people are lying or are "full of crap". It's very possible that people don't experience the same issues you do.
or maybe they dont have every app installed allowed to background refresh..my beta 4 run got 1 day 9 hours standby, 10 hours 8 mins usage, within range of ios 7.1.2. iphone 5. just a regular upgrade too not a fresh install
Is it just me or anyone else noticing that 99% installing on a 4S is taking more than longer (15+ minutes now)...
YES! My battery went down 2-3% every 2 minutes on B4 and it's doing the same on B5. I'm going to let it die then recharge to 100% to see if it's any better. If not, I'll be going back to iOS 7.1.2 (This happened to me before and I had to go back to iOS 7)
Or people actually have different experiences. It's a complex concept for sure, but it's real.
well that's not a power user... anyone who micro manages their app data/battery usage or doesn't have many apps shouldn't really count as a stress tester

Well I have a 64gb iPhone 5S with an excellent standing when it comes to battery cycles. not to mention I have over 100 apps and all of them have background refresh enabled.
you know what could actually give you better battery life than me? a 16gb iPhone 5s with very little apps installed, and some services turned off is that what you have?
Bahahaha. Omg, we literally have the same phone minus the storage capacity and you're talking down to me as if I'm some sub-human. Haha I can't believe you are that high and mighty about 64GB.
For your information, I use a 16GB because I store all my data with iCloud and Dropbox. all of my music is done via Spotify, iTunes radio and iTunes Match which has all my purchased music in iTunes in the Cloud. I don't turn background refresh off on my apps because I'm a power user and I beleive that if I'm limiting my device to conserve energy all the time then what's the point. (Obviously different if I know I'll be away from a charger).
It's insane that you are so high and mighty about literally the same phone but with more storage.

having a 16gb doesn't make you inferior as you say, but it forces you to do a lot of app management and obviously install very few apps. as time has advanced most apps start getting bigger in size. Having more apps makes the OS work harder and waste more battery life, i'm not making this up i saw it on an apple official troubleshooting sheet for a genius employee. i've tested iOS betas since iOS 4 and i've never seen such a ****** battery life as iOS 8 beta 4, i'm not saying this will carry over to the GM but please stop saying this is "stellar".
actually to avoid overheating and horrible battery life your only alternative is to turn off iCloud completely, not only photos... i mean everything

I literally have to do 0 app management with the 16GB. I have about 40-50 apps. Background refresh is enables on all that it can be

Also, I'm confused as to when I ever said it was "stellar". I have been beta testing since iOS 5, so I can also provide my own anecdotal experiences. I can say that in terms of battery life, iOS 7 betas were horrible for me. But iOS 8 hasn't been as bad. But that's for me, unlike you, I'm not saying that people that have different experiences than I do with betas are "full of crap".
You don't understand what causes battery drain nor the difference between running out of battery at 3 PM vs 9 PM and 1% battery usage per minute. It is possible (and on a beta expected) for different folks to have different experiences with battery life. The exception to that would look like two identically configured phones taped together (and there would be exceptions to that but close enough for this "conversation").
