The question was already answered (shift/update) and that should work. However if you are going to play with betas in the future you really should get a backup BEFORE installing a beta and keep it in a safe place. If your stuff you don't want deleted is in fact important to keep.
Thank you it was it worked but all my apps disappeared and all my messages got deleted. I needed both of those so I went back to 8.2 beta 4 back
iOS 8 betas since 8.1.1 don't really interest to me, I haven't installed beta 3 or 4 (I believe) because I'm not developing for the Apple watch. There also doesn't seem to be any performance improvements or changes so I think we may have to wait for a different version of iOS for that. 8.2 is all about the watch.
Strange, Are you sure you did shift/update not shift/restore? That should not have wiped your data. In the past it has worked flawlessly just like an update.
Anyone else lose service on Beta 4? I was on my way home from work and all of the sudden I lost service. I've tried resetting the network and restarting the phone again but no luck.
Again, I understand this is Beta for a reason but just thought I'd ask, I'm on AT&T btw.
Thanks!
**UPDATE**
Never mind, looks like an outage with AT&T!

8.2 definitely has some performance improvement. My iPhone 5 feels much smoother.

Actually my Facebook app is now playing up. If you restart the app it will work for a little while then play up again. I've just resorted to using Facebook on Safari.
I question weather that will be fixed by 8.2. I just got another call back from the tech I reported this to over a month ago. The engineers had confirmed the rotation/gesture failure issue weeks ago but at this time all I was updated this week with a call telling me that they are looking into it. So I'd say only a slight possibility it will be fixed by 8.2.
This new Apple seems a bit less polished if you ask me. These silly little things like gestures randomly not working seems very unfortunate.
Whats more unfortunate is that I really don't think they have enough engineers to just go through the system and clean up all these little BS glitches in iOS 8. Especially with the Apple Watch sprint to the launch day.
Hopefully they will take this year to SLOW THE F--- DOWN and make everything more stable.
MAKE IT A SNOW LEOPARD YEAR!
Apple are too busy working on iOS9 and the stupid watch software. I expect that nobody at Apple HQ is running iOS8 on their hardware any more.
This is just it right here. One of the things that makes iOS attractive over Android has always been how stable and refined it is. It's STILL worlds ahead of Android in this category, but as of late has been slipping. It won't be long before people are simply deciding between a crappy experience and a crappy experience and choose the less expensive, more open crap.
Is the lock screen still stuck when swiping from the notification on the lock screen while on a 'long' or 'complicated' password (using keyboard not T9)? This is annoying me a lot.
