I'm on the fence on updating to 8.3 beta 1.
How are current apps running under 8.3. (Facebook was real horrible on 8.2 till beta 5).
I know that 8.2 is the Apple Watch Kit beta. My other question is if you update to 8.3 Beta and the watch launches will 8.3 beta be able to handle the apple watch or do we have to wait for 8.3 to go Gold Master?
I really need to keep my messages and I am finding it to be very difficult to rollback to a older OS and not lose my messages.

I am wondering the same thing, and also the battery life... I get about 6ish hours of usage on 8.1.3, I heard it was bad dropping like 10% in 10 min
I hope Apple will replace it with something simpler because "Tmobile wifi" is really long.
Actually I did a hard reset and the T-mobile WiFi text came back.

Apple iOS 8.1.3 Release Will Again Anger Users
According to Gordon Kelly of Forbes, the 8.1.3 update does not include fixes for major bugs like the calendar showing incorrect time zones, a major complaint of iOS users. He theorizes that Apple is throwing users of older models of iPhone under the bus, because sales of the 6 have been so fantastic, any one with a 5S or less can forget about getting their needs met.

Which brings up the question of whether to get an iWatch. I want one but have decided to wait, if not pass on it entirely, since Apple is not longer the reliable company it once was.

Well, between the current 8.1.3 and 8.3 there's still room for quite a few fixes, improvements, changes, and even new features.
Also, as far as the calendar GMT issue goes, seems like there's already some progress in relation to it: https://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/03/gmt-calendar-bug-fixed-ios-8/

Uh, this thread is for 8.3b1, not 8.1.3.
Kelly didn't write a correction after Google fixed its calendar servers, an issue that pre-dated iOS 8's public release and isn't restricted to iOS devices. It also doesn't occur on Exchange-server connections IF the iOS device and the Server connection are set up properly. FUD.
As to wifi, also a non-issue when a wifi network is segregated into different frequencies as I've done with my personal and company networks. I've had not one dropout on 6 networks in different offices with dozens of devices. Kelly chose to whine about this instead of posing a simple solution that's a networking "IT 101", and I'm not even an IT person. More FUD.
Forbes is click bait, and Kelly has really nothing to offer - and most of that "news" is old and not relevant IMO.
Couple things. The vibrate for mail is finally fixed, now it's one vibrate as it should be, not a double.
Also when you plug in the charger you get a quick vibrate not a double long one like before.

Every time I click on a iMessage thread, it does not snap to the bottom of the thread like it used to. I have to scroll all the way down to view the most recent messages. Happening to anyone else?
Full restore? Or just a reset network under settings?
No. A hard reset. When you press the home and power button at the same time until it turns off. Then just turn it back on
