Anyone else having a problem with their cellular data not working on beta 2? All the dots are there and it says ATT 4G. A weird thing did happen at first when beta 2 loaded and it said 3G but I restarted and it went back to 4G. I've tried toggling the cellular data on and off as well as airplane mode and restarting it. Internet works fine when I'm on wifi though.
Got a tip for us?

Cellular Data not working in iOS 8 Beta 2

Ok on my iPhone 5 but doesn't seem to work on my cellular iPad Air. I need to try a network setting reset too, but I'm on an unapproved carrier so need to find the APN settings before I reset them.
I reset the network settings but still no dice. it started working for a little bit before I reset the settings but now it's not working again. I can also receive calls so that's not a problem. my carrier is shown as AT&T 16.2.1 in settings. I don't know if anyone else with 16.2.1 is having the same problem?

Same here on my rMini (approved carrier with 9GB/month data plan). I reset network settings but it's still not working. Dang! Guess I'm going back to 7.1.1 yet again! 
I've had the least headaches doing a clean install.
I know it's tedious, but 8/10 times, things work at least 90% better [ as in stable ] going this route.
If you're cellular data isn't working, that's a basic [ major ] issue and I would strongly recommend a re-install.

I am willing to be that you don't have anything to substantiate those made up statistics.
I updated from 7.1.1 via iTunes. Also, after enabling and disabling airplane mode a few times (through Control Center) my LTE seems to be working fine.
Edit: apparently this has to be done after every reboot.

I did OtA and mine works. On side note I notice the LTE on/off slide under Cellular Data on/off slideis now gone.

We're a team of 9 devs, been working together on iOS, OS X, and Android for a long time...
What would you have me do ? make a video every time we do multiple installs on various environments and upload it on MR to prove my point ?
Believe me or not... it's a first hand observation, that's all I can tell ya!
Why do you say that? Since Apple only intends for this to be on development devices what's the harm in a beta where a core feature doesn't work?
Golly I hope this isn't impacting your ability to code and debug the app you're developing.
Actually as someone who is a developer and does create apps it does when I need to try it out on my phone.
Make sure to leave it on for a second or two - sometimes when you switch airplane mode off too quickly, the device doesn't have to re-scan for a network, meaning it didn't fully disconnect in the first place.
I'm wondering could it just be AT&T that is having issues and my phone itself is fine? The only reason why I didn't bring it up initially is because my phone was working perfectly fine before I updated to beta 2 which is why I didn't think ATT could be the problem. I live in the New York New Jersey area by the way.
Edit: Also I did leave airplane mode on for a second or two before turning it off initially. Didn't do anything.

Possible Workaround
This same thing has been happening to me as well. I have noticed that it tends to work after restarting the phone until I either check or even receive an email via "push" or "fetch". I have tried to disable pushing and fetching emails and have stayed away from checking my emails and it has been working for the past half hour or so.
I hope this helps and I will give an updated if anything changes with this workaround.

I just updated my iPhone5 from 7.1.1 (it was giving me Error 14 for Beta1 so I couldn't update it before!)
Now I'm having the same cellular data issue!
It's been about 4 hours and No Service at all!! (Sprint)
I have tried turning off and on the airplane mode for 100 time but nothing changed ... !
Also resetting didn't change anything ... !
I think I will have to do a (clean install) this time :\ !!

I also failed to mention that I activated notification center and restarted my phone from there then disabled all email activity. I'm not sure if that matters or not, but I was trying everything possible.
