Bugs in iOS 8 Beta 3

Unfortunately, my pet bug in iOS 8 so far remains in b3: networking will die after a random period, from minutes to hours, requiring a restart. Restarting an iPad Air doesn't take long, but still, irksome.

Also, after a restart, gestures may or may not be enabled. Easily fixed by turning them off, then back on again.

Thankfully, the camera on the iPhone 5s is working properly now - in b1/b2, trying to take a photo would simply crash the camera app. (Meanwhile, that was never an issue on the iPad)

Overall, still on the flaky side - Tweetbot and Safari are both prone to occasionally dying, or even seeing a spontaneous restart.

Still, worth persisting with it - Yosemite and iOS 8 make a superb combination, thanks to that tight integration. Being able to pick up a Safari page on the iPad so seamlessly, or answer a phone call on the rMBP - this is how it should've been all along. Really, really nice.

I had that problem everyday with b2. b3 now seems fine on my 5s.
 
I'm still in therapy from B2.

Storage would fill from 4GB free to 0 available, then back up to 300MB.

Camera didn't work, random resprings whilst not touching the phone

Insane heat

Then I lost all my preferences, then I was booted off the cellular network and couldn't make / receive calls (my phone was appearing engaged at the other end) texts wouldn't send and I'd get messages sent to me 2 days later.

Gave up and now back on 7.1.2

Given that headphone control / iTunes match doesn't work as expected I'll stay on the fence until B4 I suppose.

Some nice features but having an expensive iPod / leg warmer isn't for everyone hahaha
 
I did a simple OTA update from b2 to b3 and with the exception of the headphone and one random re-spring from the Settings.app it's been smooth sailing for me. iTunes Match is solid as well.
Worth noting that I did Reset All Settings after the update.
 
Battery!

After two smooth days with Beta 3, my battery life has gone to hell. I've been off the charger for about 2 hours and I'm down to 45%. In usage, home screen is 80% of that usage. I just reset all settings hoping that helps things. Phone is also VERY warm to the touch.
 
It would be interesting if there was a poll with the most common bugs, and we could see how many people are having each issue.

Interesting idea... there's so much variation in the bugs and who's experiencing them. Some bugs are fixed with clean installs or by erasing all settings and content and some are specific to a 5 or 5S. It would be useful to know all the details of every bug... maybe Apple could just share those details with us. :)
 
Anyone else getting spontaneous reboots? My iPhone 5 is connected to the computer right now and every now and then I'll hear it vibrate to signify that it began charging despite me not touching anything. Then a few seconds later the screen lights up because it just finished booting up.

Otherwise though, b3 has been a major improvement in stability over b2.
 
iMessage is wonky as hell. It'll fail and then suddenly send as a text message.

Yup. Weird things happening here too lol.

1. When I tried sending myself a photo from my husband's iPhone, it wouldn't go through as iMessage, had to send as regular text.
2. When I sent him a photo, he never received it until I rebooted.
3. After reboot, I receive iMessages that I've already read but they notify me like it's the first time.

It's incredibly annoying not knowing if/when your texts will be sent/received. I don't want to annoy anyone asking if they've sent me a picture or w/e but that's a beta for you lol. I just hope it gets fixed in the next beta.

Why are you doing that trough iMessage? Use airdrop :p
 
Having touch screen issues in beta 3. I was having them in beta 2, but I replaced my screen and that fixed my issues. Ran fine for a few days, but as soon as beta 3 came, problems once again. Anyone else?
 
I have also been experiencing issues with the music app and iMessage on beta 3, but other than that this beta has been performing better than the previous two.
 
Gonna assume this is a gui glitch

restart

every time I reboot the iPhone, or it restarts I get a string of old texts flashing up on the screen rapidly. This happens on every reboot sometimes locking up the phone. Am I the only one with this issue?
 
I started having the wifi connectivity issues today. Mostly after using Safari. Once I noticed pages not loading, I tried out Speedtest. I was getting 0.00Mbps down. Did a hard reset, back up to 55Mbps down. Happened multiple times. I reported it in the Bug Reporter.


Speaking of the Bug Reporter, I had to send a bug report about the Bug Reporter, lol. I found it humorous.
 
minor issue noted after 2 nights. Leave 100% charged phone unplugged on bedside table at 11pm. Wake up just before alarm at 5:40am and get up. Phone is still on 100% (normally mid to low 90% range with IOS7 at this stage), but have had to reboot it due to eithor headphone issues or not working with audio out on Lightning connector. Both times faults were fixed on reboot, BUT battery % jumped from 100% to 80& 78% respectively.

Seems as if long periods left locked on standby & the battery % was not updated

On the plus side the Podcasts and music Apps continue to play if the iPhone locks now, but they continue to play though the phone speaker when the Lightning connector is unplugged

I saw this once, yes, but did not report it. Next reboot I'll see if it does it again and log a fault report

Oh another fix is the keyboard and lock sounds are no longer randomly working when they are turned off in the settings. VERY annoying at 1AM when I go to bed, start surfing the net and the phone starts clicking away on keystrokes.
 
Music app (iTunes match) slight hiccup at the start of each song.

iMessage fails to send (resolved with either a restart or turning iMessage on and off in settings)
 
Is anyone else having the home button bug from beta 2? Where sometimes where you click to close an app multitasking appears, then goes back to the app? What about the Battery Percentage bug from beta 2, where the device battery % and Usage "freeze" and do not update?
 
yes I have noticed as well with the home button, and new for me is the lock screen when I slide to unlock it goes half way and is stuck!anyone have that issue?

also great battery time over beta 2,not as many reboots as well...

plus my USB port in my arm charges now to where beta 2 didn't not..
