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.

Installed the Gold Master last night. Remember Apple recommends erasing all content and settings after updating. I erased everything and restored from iCloud with ease.

Anthony..you might know this. Does the apple store do the "upgrade now" fee. Or, better yet, can they do the upgrade now fee like sprint has.

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think the Apple stores will do it. It's kind of like how Framily was, where it's mostly a Sprint store only thing.

I'm reading about this new feature where an iPad can get data though an iPhone hotspot. How is this different than purchasing a hotspot plan and tethering? Will the new feature allow a Mac or iDevice internet access without a tethering plan?

iOS8 just makes the process of connecting easier.  You are still required to have a hot-spot plan.

It lets you tap on something on your iPad to share your iPhone connection.  Handy when your iPhone is across the room and you need to turn your hotspot on.

 

Here's details on all the Continuity features.  Continuity and the new Messaging features are what I'm looking forward to the most in iOS 8.

Shift update worked for my phone as well. No glitches on my end yet.

 

Anyone planning on getting the 6?

January will be my 12th month on Easy Pay. That's when I plan on getting my 6 plus. Can't wait to have me some Band 41 goodness!

post-27164-141051581441_thumb.jpg Crazy battery drain in iOS 8 GM. Unplugged around 11:00 because it was at 100%, locked it completely and then went to bed. When my alarm went off I was shocked to see 29%, apparently Siri ran all night long? Yes, I understand it's a beta, just pointing it out. Hope it's worked out by Wednesday.

Well, it actually isn't considered a beta. It's the full version of iOS 8. From what I see, you have 2 problems. 1. You have Bluetooth on, and 2. Like you said, Siri ran all night for whatever reason. Now, you probably have Bluetooth on all the time, if I assume correctly, so lets eliminate that from the equation. If I were you, I would do a soft reset of the device (Home button+Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo comes up) and see if that helps. Could have been a little glitch.

 

I have actually seen much better battery life in 8 GM than I did on Beta 5, so I'm satisfied with it so far.

I keep Bluetooth on all the time for my car, it's easier to leave it on than to turn it on whenever I go out. And my experience running it since Tuesday is about the same. Not much difference better or worse. I've even went though almost every setting to try and optimize the usage as much as possible and not have it fetch or refresh things I don't need.

I thought it may have been the "Raise to Speak" feature, but that seems to have been removed from the Siri panel?

It does appear that the raise to speak feature gas disappeared. I've always had it off so I didn't notice. Hmm..

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
