Curious what the consensus is on this beta. Is it stable enough to use daily? I'm jailbroken now so I can put up with resprings and crashing apps. I'm just wondering if there's anything anybody would call a deal breaker like phone app crashes or the like. I'm not against losing my JB if it's a decent beta.
i got iOS 8 beta 1, day 1. i had a JB iPhone 5 7.1.1. i do miss my jb tweaks like phantom, home screen designer, barrel, auxo2, but i enjoy the new additions of iOS 8 like improvements to camera.app and messages.app.
this update is more for the developers, not like how iOS 7 was a total revamp this is more like subtle adjustments and more room for developers to customize. so right now not much is different/better for you to switch so soon. id say enjoy your jb device until the release.
the bugs i have encountered:
1.can't restart device otherwise it says activation failed and i have to reboot the firmware on the device(1hour process)
2. syncing issue with music and apps. music is VERY slow to transfer and iTunes is stuck on step 6 of 6. when apps sync they are just grey and stuck at waiting stage of download. i found that if you go into the app store on the device and download the apps from updates>purchase they finished the download.
3.new quicktype is only working in messages.app
4. mail is not getting pushed to device i have to open the app to refresh
these are very minimal downturns i have witnessed and so for i am very pleased with the upside
