Just curious were you jail broken on 7.1.2?

Yeah, I was.

Still not sure if I will put beta 5 on my 5S yet...

Well you used to not have to say what song is this. You could just put it up to the speaker then the iTunes logo pops up.

It's been smooth on my 5S so far, I say give it a shot

Doesn't look like Siri is recognizing songs still? Can anyone else verify? Clean install of beta 5

It's not working for me either I'm using iPhone 5s.

In beta 4 I just put it next to the speaker and it'll search the song it in beta 5 I had to say what song is this then it'll search it. I like it better the other way by putting it next to the speaker.

Can someone shed some light on the whatsapp bug (crash when sending or receiving words with ff, fl or fi), thanks in advance.

WhatsApp crashing is WhatsApp issue not iOS 8 issue, also, why run a beta on a daily use decice?

Those running it for few hours now, do you see a significant improvement over beta 4? Really on the edge over giving up my jailbreak for a stable beta.

Beta 3 ran the best for me and then beta 4 caused me some issues. So far beta 5 has given me zero issues. In the 8 hours of having it installed, my battery life has been good and it has been very stable.

Fantastic for me but I don't use WhatsApp or any other app that seems to have difficulties. Any previous app difficulties I had were solved by web alternatives. Great and stable so far. I love that the quick reply bug was fixed as that was my only issue before.

I might after I do a clean install tomorrow morning on my iPod touch to see if some of the UI rendering issues I still have are gone.

I think a clean install is the only way to go. That is what I did and it is very stable.

It's definitely stable. More stable than any previous builds. I haven't found any bugs at all this time around, and anything in the previous build that I ran into seems to be cleared up.

Ah heck, go for it...

Yes. Although beta 4 was stable for me, and didn't interfere with my daily use, there were tiny quirks here and there. Displaying the wrong contact photo momentarily is one example. However, with beta 5, I've yet to come across such quirks. This feels almost like a finished product, in my opinion.

I've loaded it up and I'm at the restoring from iCloud screen and it says it going to take about 3 hours! WTH!? It's usually only taken at the most 10 mins.

Yeah, I'll do a clean install tomorrow or the next day. I always do...

 

[ajl]

I gave up my jailbreak before, for Beta 4. But, I think I'll hold off for the GM now. Good luck to the rest of you running it.

 

[swarlos]

Ok crisis averted LOL my phone rebooted and now my apps are restoring. Don't know why it was saying 3 hours.

 

[acerace113]

I should test some more apps first before I install the beta just incase.
