We saw the same thing with 8.1 and ApplePay, they didn't focus on anything else beside ApplePay. iOS 8.2 is for AppleWatch.
They probably don't want to #*($ up the AppleWatch launch, so they're doing everything they can to ensure it goes off well.
I suspect the big improvements and bug fixes are coming in iOS 8.3 or iOS 9.
People are fed up in general but they're not giving up yet. If Apple doesn't start taking stuff seriously with iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, we're going to have some serious issues.
I tried this to downgrade and had all manner of interesting problems. I ended up having to restore to the last backup I did with 8.1.2 to get my phone back to normal.
So yeah, this doesn't always work. Oh and by the way, you don't have to capitalize every word in a sentence. Just the first one is sufficient.
There's an update for Facebook. Looks like it's loading a little better still slow but not as bad as far as I can see.
Hmm may want to take a closer look at what was addressed with 8.1. Certainly more than ApplePay. And this is only what was listed. There are always more under the hood items not published.

Major Bug
Found a major bug - email ignores the default account and sends your mail from an accounts of it's own choosing... careful if you have multiple accounts you may want to confirm which account is sending your emails.

Yes, there are minor fixes and such, there always are but none of which fixed the bigger issues that's facing iOS 8 such as the networking, keyboard issues, iPhone 6+ crashes, and so on.
iOS 8.1 was more like 8.0.1 but they pretty much renamed it to 8.1 because it has one big focus, which is ApplePay. Same thing for iOS 8.2, no major improvements on any of the big issues from what I've see and its main focus is AppleWatch. Yes, it will have a long list of minor fixes, that's just progress from improving the code and so on but we're not seeing any evidence of major refactoring to fix the core issues.
What a lot of people are waiting for is the "iOS 7.1" style of refactoring that focus on fixing the core issues, not the "single big feature plus minor fixes" that is 8.1 and 8.2.
Yep they no longer is signing Beta 3.
I rolled back from Beta 4 to 8.1.2 due to the facebook issue. 8.2 is to unstable right now for me as I use Facebook a lot.
This is a VERY good question. Beta Software is timebombed. It has a death / end date and if you reach that date the phone will shut down and display the recovery graphics!
Yes this would be my suggestion. I did the same thing even though I was having Facebook issues.
Be aware that once you install Beta 4 there is no going back as Beta 3 is no longer signed.
If I were you I would update to 4 really no choice!

Yea that's the main reason I went back to beta 3 because beta 4 has issues with Facebook but yea I'm going to update to beta 4 then. I'm doing it now
8.1.1 had issues with Facebook (on my 6+) and they vanished with 8.1.2
It will be annoying if they return with 8.1.3
Mine is hit and miss. There are times when I open it and it works fine, but most of the time I still have to close it out, wait a minute or 2, then open it again to get anything to load.
My non-appearing keyboard on iMessage quick reply fixed itself today though. That one makes no sense to me.
Facebook It's still not working for me either it takes forever to load. I wanna just downgrade to 8.1.2 but I tried it already and I lost everything and I can't restore from beta 4 update. Is there any other way to downgrade without losing anything at all?
