iOS 8.1 Beta 2 is out. Feedback/bugs thread

[iknrisms]

How's the battery been on beta 2? Any immediate differences?

Honestly it seems much better. May be a placebo effect but I've been messaging, browsing, listening to music, emailing and Tweeting consistently the past hour and so and only dropped to 29% from 31%. iPhone 6+ here.

Does it appear to be running smoother for anyone else. I haven't had any hang-ups lately (have only been running for about three hours). Everything feels much snappier at the least. Still a few bugs in settings like Music not showing up under Usage but other than that nothing major.

Oh! And I really wish Apple would fix the disappearing message bug if you accidentally touch the space beneath the Send button when quick replying. So. Annoying!!

I don't have a registered udid and I updated through setting after installing beta 1 with iTunes and it went through good on mine

How did you install beta-1 without being registered?

Just download the ipsw and hold down shift and hit update in iTunes then select the ipsw

But on the video itself?

I update OTA last night, and thus far, beta 2 appears to be running smoothly on my iPhone 5, but so did beta 1. I'll get a better feel for it today after extensive use. Hopefully, it'll continue to perform well...

Has anyone who previously had slower WiFi speeds with iOS 8.0.1 seen an improvement?

Thankfully, the QuickReply via the Lockscreen appears to be working consistently using the settings depicted in the below screenshot. I prefer to not have the message display in the middle of the lockscreen and prefer to view and reply from the Notification Center while at the lockscreen. It was hit or miss with the previous beta as well as 8.0.1 & 2,

As I stated above, I like being able to view and reply to messages via the Notification Center on the lockscreen without having the received message displayed in full view in the center of the lockscreen, and I'm able to do that consistently with beta 2.

OTA'd as well but didn't update to Beta 1 last week (downloaded and updated to Beta 2 yesterday) so can't judge based on that but coming from 8.0.2 it's buttery smooth! Glad to see Apple really working to improve the OS. iOS 6 (and maybe 5) seemed to be the most stable of them all but Apple seems to be refining 8 to do just the same! Can't wait for Apple Pay

Beta is pretty solid thus far... Hoping lot's of other bug continue to be squashed.

That's a fine wallpaper you got. Would you be kind enough to share where you got it from?

How do you compare it with iOS 7.1.2? Is it smoother or faster than iOS 7 or a bit slower than that in app opening speed and overall responsiveness.

My pleasure...

I don't know. I mean, it's fast, smooth and Just works.......I really don't recall specifics about iOS 7.1.2 because I only had it installed for a short period of time. I was using iOS 8 betas all summer long.

On my 5s no issues currently. Seems smoother but not sure if that's what I think or what actually happend.
