Besides a lockup here and there, but my T-Mobile iPhone 6 plus has been running pretty good compared to 8.1.3.



I am having a bit of an issue where for some unknown reason my data connection stops completely. I was watching Netflix via LTE and about every 2 hours I wasn't able to resume house of cards, use safari, or do anything Internet related. I tried using airplane mode to restart my connection without success. Every time I need to restart my phone in order to get the internet working again.



Anyone else having this issue?

I've had this happen twice since installing 8.3.
 
Can anyone please check if the map bug has been fixed on iPads. You cannot change the map setting from mile to km, it will always jump back to miles. This bug has been there since early iOS 7. Thanks
 
There seems to be an issue with Fetch email in this release. I'll wake up and check my email, and instead of it all being there on my iPhone or iPad it'll show a few messages and say "Updated Yesterday" or "Updated at 6:07AM" i.e. Pulling down to refresh usually doesn't work and I'll have to delete a message for it to download the remaining. Anyone else experiencing this? All my Fetch email accounts are Gmail and I have 2 Push (iCloud and Outlook). Fetch is set to every 15 mins.
 
There's a weird time bug in the status bar where it would stall at a certain time and then jump ahead 2 minutes. Like it would get stuck on 12:13 and then jump to 12:15
 
8.2 seems to be in the Dev Portal now.

But, I wonder if people on 8.3 beta 2 can downgrade to 8.2? I doubt it right?

How'd you downgrade? I tried DFU mode and it says "can not connect to server" I'm worried I'll lose my message data. I tried downgrading in the past.

Just hold Alt/Option on OS X and click Update and you can go from 8.3 to the release build of 8.2, (and keep your messages...I just did this)

Well I've tried that in the past just hitting Option update but I always lost my messages. But I'll try again. Started on my iPad to test it out but the iTunes finally figured out it was in DFU mode, so I can't do that right now. I'll do it later today.

Well I screwed up my iPad Air 2. After restoring my iPad to 8.2 it won't let me restore from my back up, saying it's too old.
 
Kind of obscure, but are we able to sort artists by last name (via iTunes) in the Music app in iOS 8.3? iOS 8.2 kind of botched that today, where if you sort artists by last name, certain artists were ignored and were instead sorted by first name.

After the downgrade, do you see issues with apps not being able to access their data on iCloud Drive? Also, Settings app gets stuck when trying to re-enable iCloud Drive.
 
When playing HTML5 video over the Lightning -> HDMI adapter, if you close the video on your phone it will cause the adapter to stop working and this can only be resolved by a reboot of the phone. This has been present since 8.2 betas.

Ok so I originally put my iPad in DFU mode. Restored and updated the iPad which left my iPad on iOS 8.2(what I wanted) and wiped, then I wanted to restore from a back up, so I went to my most recent back ups(from when I was on iOS 8.3 beta 2. Unfortunately it said the back up was too old. So I was left with a wiped iPad that couldn't get my old data. So I had to update my iPad back to iOS 8.3 beta 2. Once back to iOS 8.3 beta 2 i went to iTunes pressed the ALT/Option button then clicked update and selected the direct download file of iOS 8.2 and it worked, still have my messages. I tried the DFU mode instead of forcing it to update with the ALT/Option update because in the past when I did that in the past I would lose my messages history even though the data was still on my iOS devices.
