Well thanks for bothering the rest of us with your request!

Excuse me?

You'll find that I contributed heavily in the iOS 7 thread last year and also partially this year in the first two betas. If you have nothing nice to say, please don't post in future. I see looking through your posts you haven't particularly contributed anything to these forums apart from shouting a few members down who are asking genuine questions.

Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but it's definitely new.

You can now use rich text and images in pre-defined signatures within settings. I was able to copy and paste my normal signature from a sent message, and it appears to be working flawlessly, with my name, title, etc. formatted properly, and a logo image as well.

If I understand correctly, this feature has been around for at least a year.
 
The OS in general seems more responsive, at least in transitions such as opening up the multi-tasking view.

Assisstive touch now has the home button back to the bottom most position.

Messages no longer crashes when you toggle QuickType.
 
Leaving a group conversation is enabled in b3.

At some point if some1 could post weather this beta is as insanely unstable as the beta 2 was, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

In using it a short while I have yet to have messages freeze altogether or become unresponsive at all. All OS animations seem slower for some reason. Boot up time is back to normal. Not asking me for my iCloud info after restarts......

This is all so far. All issues in Beta 2 for me. All observations from Beta 3.
 
iOS 8.0 Beta 3 Bug Fixes and Changes

I have installed beta 1 and beta 2 and rolled back each time. Still to early to tell whether Beta 3 will be good enough as a daily driver but it does seem faster and more fluid and most importantly for me Lastpass, Pebble and Hangouts seem to be working in this Beta.

EDIT: Bluetooth LE is still giving me some problems but for the moment Pebble is working

EDIT 2: And it's broke again

Solid

This is much more "daily driver"-friendly than Beta 2 was.

My major issues from Beta 2 have been corrected in this version:

Fast app switching caused any app I picked to crash immediately
Asked for iCloud password upon restart
Streaming media from internet would stop playing anytime I'd switch apps or lock the screen

Yet to be seen:
Siri turned herself back into Voice Control everyday
Read receipts in iMessages would turn themselves off
Keyboards clicks would turn themselves on everyday
 
If you have iTunes match enabled and then go to the music app, the progress bar comes up and then about 20 seconds later the screen goes black. Anyone else?
 
Being able to turn Quick Type on and off from the keyboard seems new.

You said you couldn't be bothered to install the update so you ask us to do it for you? I don't care how much you contribute, to assume that your time is more precious than ours is pretty rude. Also, you could have used all that time researching my posts to actually install the update... you're not above snooping, just above doing your own research.
 
Storage Bug

I know it can take some time to show up, but does Beta 3 fix the storage full bug that came up in Beta 2?

Thanks man. Sounds like it's possible this may be a daily driver bc I miss quick reply on ios 7. :( interesting that you say the OS animations seem slower. Maybe this was contributing to beta 2's instability. Who knows..

Thanks bud. :)

Next step would be to update through iTunes.

IF STUCK/FREEZING FROM UPDATE TO Beta 2 -> Beta 3 TRY THIS

Found my solution. Just "Reset All Settings", then let it reboot, then connect to a WiFi network and then go to "General"->"Software Update" and it should begin updating to iOS 8 beta 3.
