iOS 8 Beta 2 has been released, and I am currently downloading and installing it as we speak. Will update everyone on anything new and will report on whether or not it is more stable than Beta 1.

Tried redeeming my code and it says its already been redeemed!

The system is either not functional yet, or it's swamped. Is the redemption code through the Mac App Store?

I went through the public beta link online.  It appears they just took it offline though. Probably generating new codes. I read somewhere on another forum that the downloads were aborted so that would make sense on why the codes are not working.

Ah, ok.

Apparently it was happening to a lot of people. As long as I can still get Yosemite, I can wait. Probably would take a thousand years anyways with all the people trying to download it.

I'm traveling today, so I won't be able to download until tonight. I'm glad I still have my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro to test it on.

Excited to get into the Beta, but I think I'm going to wait a bit to get it installed and let everyone else be the early guinea pigs. :)

As an aside -- if Apple releases that 12" Retina MacBook Air, I may never want to own another computer. I'd imagine that the battery would be about 10-11 hours (guessing b/c the 11" Air is 9hrs, 13" Air is 12hrs), and those retina displays are downright awesome (as I'm currently typing this on my Retina 15" MBP).

 

My kids are getting to be school-aged, so I also hope to see a 4K monitor/Retina iMac soon. :)

It's working now!!!  Currently downloading yosemite.

 

I would also love to have a retina screen. My next mac will definitely be one with a retina screen. And ill use that for a long time. This one is going on 4 years old now. Still as fast as it was the day I bought it...Actually it's faster thanks to my SSD upgrade and ram upgrade.

Mid 2010 MacBook Pro? 13, 15, or 17 inch?

Oops. Meant 3 years then. Early 2011 13 MBP with the i5. And Yosemite is awesome.

Did you get the 16GB RAM upgrade?

Nah I didn't see the need to get 16gb. I just installed 8b that I got from crucial. And then 16gb was actually pretty expensive and not worth it to me.

Crucial is now selling 16GB for that same model year for $160. I got a friend to finally replace her Mid-2007 with an Early 2011 15" anti-glare. She decided she's only going to buy 1 8GB stick, and keep 1 of the 2GB's in for the time being until RAM goes cheaper.

It's funny because their SSD is cheaper and that will do a lot more for the average user than RAM will. 

 

Yosemite is running great. It's slightly laggy, but that is to be expected and is obviously part of being on beta. Spotlight is not showing search results from the internet, or movies and stuff like that. Computer appears to be dying quicker than usual but I can attribute that to beta. Overall, very usable. Good thing too because this is my DD. Loving the new interface. Safari is so nice without all the clutter..even though safari was relatively clutter free before. Looking forward to iOS 8 so I can try continuity and handoff.

I'm looking forward to iOS 8 as well. And of course I'm looking forward to Yosemite as well when I get home tonight.

My thoughts on iOS 8 Beta 5: MUCH more stable than beta 4. Still kinda buggy, but it's much more usuable. That's pretty much the only thing I have to say about it. I can answer any questions if anyone has any.

What all is buggy about it? I just got a 5s on trade and want to try iOS 8 but don't want to ruin the phone until the final version comes out.

Some things don't work like they should. For example, I tried adding a number to an existing contact through the messages app and it would let me add it, but wouldn't let me confirm the changes I made to the contact. Also there are small things were you will read a message in the messages app and you will go back to the main messages screen, but it will still show the message as unread. There are a few other things, too, but I can't think off them off the top of my head.

 

My advice: If you want to give the beta a try, back up your phone and update to it. Try it out for a couple days, and see if it is stable enough for you. If not, restore back to iOS 7 and use your backup, no harm no foul. I use it on my daily driver, which is an iPhone 5S also, and I'm able to use it without much frustration. So by all means, go ahead and give it a shot. But make sure you have your UDID registered first or you risk your device not registering with Apple's servers.

I couldn't leave well enough alone so I installed beta 4 since it's all I could find. I gotta say I'm starting to like iPhone more and more than I ever used to.

I'm sort of excited to see what the 6 is capable of after having its new software on the 5s.

You can update to beta 5 OTA.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
