iOS 8 Beta 5 Bug Fixes and Changes

[C DM]

Anyone know if the was the quick reply keyboard fixed ? Space button wasn't working properly on beta 4

I believe a few people mentioned it's working properly now.

Hopefully we can take photos while in call, which is broken in iOS 8 BETA 4.

What do you mean? Can you take a screenshot please ?

The first screen is what it looks like to enter the app switcher from the home screen. It stays normal.
But if you go into the multitasking from an app and scroll to the left to go to the home screen, there's no status bar on it, shown in the 2nd screenshot.
If you tap on it when it doesn't have the status bar, there will be no status bar on the home screen for a short time, then it will pop back in. The 3rd screen shows the missing bar.

Beta 5 is performing better for me.

Oh yea I see what you talking about. Thanks for showing screenshots. Is it annoying? Does it bother you ?

Not seeing any difference between the first two pictures, but maybe I'm being slow today?

*EDIT*

Yep, being slow. I see it.

iPhone 5s.

That new Spotlight blur is beautiful, but it doesn't do it on the lock screen. Hopefully it will in the future.

And they introduced an annoying status bar bug in multitasking, where there's no status bar on the home screen preview until you actually go to the home screen.

That blows. Bleh..

Got a system status monitor and on beta 1-4 it used to say processor was round 90% at all times, now it sits around 5% with the occasional jump to around 20-30% and the phone does seem snappier so I am inclined to believe the results from the app.

 

[batting1000]

Anyone got a screenshot of the spotlight blurring?

On a Saturday? Don't think that's really connected like that.

I did a fresh install of Beta 5 and can't get 1Password to work with Dropbox. It always crashes when it searches for the password file. It worked fine on Beta 4, maybe I should've just upgraded instead of doing a re-install of the OS.

I'm experiencing the same thing on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Mini.

I'm talking about it here.

It wasn't Battery Memory System Status Monitor was it. I used that on b4 and it showed CPU at 90%. When I hooked the phone up to Instruments and did a trace, I found out IT ITSELF was hogging the CPU lol.

by short time how long do you mean? It is less than a second on my phone before it appears again. Not even long enough for me to easily get a screenshot.
