iOS 8 Beta 4 for developers is available - Discuss bugs etc. here

[melbsteve]

I'm thinking about downloading it for my iPad as well now. Beta 4 seems stable enough. Just wondering why my Photostream has disappeared entirely on iPhone and if the same would happen to my iPad if I upgrade? Anyone running the beta on iPad that could help me out? Is there still photo synch (via iCloud) between the two devices with beta4?

I'm going to wait one more beta before I use it on my daily driver... It's close but not close enough for me yet.

Any changes in the mail.app imap timings ( less than 15 mins fetch)? Hoping for IMAP IDLE.

Nope. Choices remain 15 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly and manually.

From what I can see on my ipad mini running beta 4 and my iphone 5S running 7.1.2, it looks to me like camera roll and photo stream have been combined into the photos app. Pics I took at the weekend and also today are showing up in my photostream on my iphone 5s and in the photos album on the ipad mini and all my photostream pics are showing up on my ipad mini correctly

Dang. I don't think IMAP IDLE is on the ios8 menu. I have sent a feedback to Apple ( not dev feedback). Lets see if they take it in their stride.

I think Beta 4 is ready to stick on my daily driver. No major bugs, a couple of reprings but irregular enough not to be bothered by them.

Battery life is still rather poor, though that's to be expected with apps having not been optimized for it yet.

 

[Blue Shift]

It may just be my imagination, but Beta 4 seems a lot quicker, and smoother. Most of the stuff I reported in Beta 3 seems to have already been addressed.

There is probably only one beta left. This one is nice.

The next iPod is getting Touch ID since my iPod requires me to enter my passcode after restarting...

 

[Doc Z]

beta 3 was stable for me as well but my biggest issue was app incompatibility. And the occasional complete freeze of the screen. lets see how beta 4 fares

 

[OZsMac]

So is the keyboard bug only relevant to quick replies or throughout the OS with beta 4? I've been chatting with others who don't see this issue.

 

[John Yester]

I am wondering if some 3rd party apps are reflecting on battery life some may be seeing right now...

There have been more beats on prior releases... As many as 8... So there will be however many more Apple needs to get to the Gold Master version by the time the next IOS devices release.

 

[acerace113]

Yep. Probably at least 6 betas.

I'm expecting at least 7 betas

I always do OTA updates when they are available. I haven't had any battery life issues. Yet, at least.

Currently at 77% and it's only been off the charger for an hour. Took one phone call. Took one photo. Browsed Facebook and IG for a few minutes. I usually do a whole lot more by now. On beta 3 I could listen to pandora all day and take phone calls and emails and end the day at 56%.

And in the time it took to post that, I dropped to 74%.

How pathetic am I????? I just squealed like a stuck pig here at work.

It's closer.

It's closer.

It's closer.

Don't obsess over the number... Just use it as you normally do and the number will work itself out. Sometimes this happens with betas, and even after betas.

I usually don't. Actually the problem app seems to be Tapatalk. I'm still going to do a clean install via DFU tonight though.
