Hopefully they do some system optimization. Even with my new iPhone 6 it can be buggy and glitchy sometimes. The message banner sometimes hangs, sometimes app may crash even using the quick reply in the lock screen it takes a second or 2 to show the keyboard.

Why can't they provide you the link?

I never understand this..you either really did have another Dev you know add you, in which case they could send you the link..or you registered your UDID at a site, in which case they should have the link.

Either way, beta files are not allowed to be shared on this site.

You are NOT allowed to discuss obtaining betas without a developer account on this forum.

How did everybody get those apple pay settings?

I'm hoping that at the strike of midnight (10/1) tonight Apple Pay suddenly activates.

They're hidden, not fully functional yet.

And no, Apple Pay will likely not be active until the final, public release of iOS 8.1.

Custom Keyboards while using quick reply

Can anyone confirm that custom keyboards can be used while quick replying to a text message from the lock screen? As of now, only the stock keyboard can be used when doing so. Thanks for your help.

There is no "both". iCloud Photo Library hasn't been released.

No. Yet another person that has absolutely no idea how it works.

Please enlighten me why I have no idea about iCloud Photo Library. I know exactly how it works. I'm not counting in the full image/optimised saving stuff BUT the actual Raw jpg file that will be directly stored in ICLOUD.
So when you use iCloud photo library all pics will be stored in iCloud (Original size and resolution) and there will not be any locally stored jpgs unless you look at certain pictures or upload the original pictures stored on your device. This is for convinience, say incase you have no internet etc.
As mentioned above these will than either be full size or optimised (depending on your settings) but any edits will always be made to the iCloud raw file. Since this will be seamless there are basically no more locally stored jpgs on your device hence why camera roll would be useless.
I think you have no idea what you talking about and your comment was useless so go and watch the keynote again.

No. This is not new.

Has anyone applied the beta by alt-clicking check for update in iTunes and selecting the ipsw? This was highlighted as a way to revert from 8.0.1 to 8.0 to avoid a restore

Or is everyone doing a DFU install or alt-click on restore?

This is what I did. I will probably do a restore when 8.1 is released but not for betas

Cheers, will do this tonight then

Can someone test the bluetooth in their car and report back if Apple has fixed it? There's another thread going, and it seems it broke the factory bluetooth integration in about every major auto manufacturer in existence. Hopefully it's fixed.

I tried it once today after installing 8.1 beta and it seems to work.

is UDID register is needed or can we install with ipsw & itunes restore

 

[Padmini]

Or there's also an album called Camera Roll where only the locally stored photos and videos appear. Or there's some other way where one is present in certain cases and another in other cases. Again, having one there doesn't necessary mean something about the other.

You simply don't get it. With iCloud Photo Library there is no such thing as "only the locally stored photos and videos" as you put it. That's not how it works.

You could turn OFF iCloud Photo Library, at which point the same Photos tab shows you the same freaking Photos....except they are only on your device, and not both in the cloud and on the device.

It is not complicated. But some people just can't handle the slightest of changes.

 

[Stuke00]

Yes of course it is needed. You must be registered to a developer account.

But for those of us who have no plans to use Photo Library, Camera Roll makes the most sense.

I don't need my local photos and my cloud based photos intermingled for me. This is exactly why I don't like Gmail. They suddenly decide one day to throw my e-mail in some categorized folder and I don't realize for a few days that I'm missing e-mail. I can manage the organization of my e-mail and my photos just fine. I never asked for their assistance.

If you have no plans on using iCloud to safely store your photos and ensure you never lose any of them (whats actually important to the overwhelming majority of users), then you can NOT enable it. With it not enabled, the Photos App is still exactly the same: The Photos tab shows you all of your Photos. They are just now stored purely locally, and not simultaneously in iCloud.

That's a poor decision, but it is your poor decision to make. Either way, you don't need an Album called Camera Roll. Unless this is simply too confusing for you:

Photos App > Photos Tab > Photos.

And then how do you access photos in the cloud, like in your photostream?

 

[Padmini]

I understand, but I don't WANT them sorted by moments every single time. With the current iOS 8.0.2, if I take a photo, it gets saved to moments and shows up at the bottom (with the current date). However, if I save something from the web, it sometimes contains location/date info in the image format itself, and that totally messes up my photos as I have to go around hunting it down (especially if it was taken over a year ago).

With the Camera Roll, I have my photos sorted chronologically, without exterior data getting in the way. Thus, I have to disagree, it is confusing for people who don't know that information and save photos from social media/other websites for whatever reason. There is no need for "recently added", just show the entire Camera Roll. 99% of the times you're only going to access the photos that are on screen, which is why Apple defaults it to the bottom and not the top (unlike other albums).

----------



Yes, it is true.

Are you kidding me? It finally works the way it SHOULD. If a Photo contains location/time/date information, it SHOULD place itself chronologically within your Photos collection.

Nobody cares about you downloading random Photos from the web and saving them to your Photo Library. That's not what the Photo Library is for. There are lots of other File Management Apps that (with iOS 8) will allow you to save directly from the web to the App, without cluttering up your Photo Library which shouldn't be containing anything other than Photography and Videography of your own. If you insist on using it this way, the Recently Added album (now stupidly removed and replaced with Camera Roll again) served that purpose quite nicely...so you could save a Photo from anywhere, regardless of its time/location data, and quickly pick it from Recently Added.

Anyone else surprised at how many people on this forum insist that this is the right way to do things and that the option that has worked for everyone since 2007 is wrong? And that there should be no choice to bring it back?

What drives you to be so evangelist about this poorly thought out change on Apple's part? One that they even realized was a bad idea and are rolling back?

 

[Padmini]

What are you talking about? Photo stream? Photo stream is being REPLACED by iCloud Photo Library. Because iCloud Photo Library is the way it always should have been, and PhotoStream was a limited half-baked solution.

Keep in mind, iCloud Photo Sharing is a completely separate feature, that lets you create Cloud Albums that are manually managed-only. You share specific photos to them, and invite people to view them/contribute to them.

Or those who value the privacy of their Photos Its not a poor decision.

Some of us like Camera roll as its good organisation of photos, and I don't see why the world should have a problem with that. A simple toggle switch could fix this in settings, allowing Camera Roll or the iOS 8 Photos.
