I find it's better than beta 1

It's been giving me an issue where it won't respond to a lock screen or home button press to turn on the screen. I had this on beta 1, but more frequent on beta 2. Weird. It's so sporadic that it's hard to duplicate it.

Battery life for me running iOS 8 beta 2 is fine and on par with the way it's always been - great!

It's happening to me periodically, but not enough to be a nuisance or a concern.

The only time I’ve seen that is when I try to answer a call from the lock screen. It takes about 2-3 swipes before the phone answers the phone. But it’s not every time.

Not long after installing beta 2, my daughter called and I was unable to answer the call. The display went blank for a few seconds and then displayed the lock screen. It would not show the answer option. i had to call her back to talk to her. Thankfully, it hasn't happened since.

had this issue since beta 1 and I submitted but they are stumped. They've asked me for logs so next time it happens I have to try and get console log to send.

If you want to reproduce Whatsapp crash like many of us, just try typing a word with letter "f" and "i" like "office" or "fine" y let us know what you get.

Having in mind that at least 9 million of people are using iOS 8 betas by now, it would be nice that Whatsapp take notice of this and let an update roll to fix it. After all, even developers need to chat with colleagues thru this service too.

lol yeah but remember you're not supposed to be using betas on your daily driver

Yeah today I got a Facetime and although the phone was ringing there was no phone interface to answer the call lol I had to reboot and call my wife back. Luckily I could message her from my Mac while rebooting.

What was the result on the other end?

I have to say beta 2 has been pretty stable for me on my 5th gen iPod touch, not quite ready to use on my 5S as a daily driver but it's getting there.

It's asking for my icloud password every few hours and the microphone next to the space key disappears from time to time in some apps.

Somehow Tapatalk feels a lot slower with this beta, it takes a long time before threads will
load.

Am I the only one experiencing this? I have a 5S (A1457)

Really? Hmmm, I wonder if a clean install would alleviate the problem.

In regard to Tapatalk, it's working in the manner it always has on my iPhone 5 running iOS 8 beta 2. I'm going to do a clean install in a few minutes because I have yet to get the Bug Reporter to work.

i did a clean install and put my backup back. Do you think somehow the bugs in beta 1 were imported that way? or that it is causing a lot issues?

This is my daily driver and it would cost me a lot of time and effort to get everything back to it's current state.

It's possible, however, it is still beta software so it's not uncommon to experience quirks here and there as well as some that might not affect other devices. Having said that, unless you feel you downloaded a corrupt copy of beta 2, I would leave it as-is and deal with it.

I'm planning on leaving it as-is. Beta 3 will be here in a month at most. I'm patient
