I downloaded the public beta and so far it’s actually been really good. It appears to have solved an issue I had with Verizon reception so that’s nice. Loving all the little improvements.

Issues I’ve run into:

• if I try to rearrange my homescreens, it causes the phone to crash
• at first I could not pick a different Lock Screen but that issue sorted itself out after about an hour.
• occasionally the keyboard does not appear when I go to respond to a text message. But it’s not consistent and closing and reopening the messages app solves the problem.

So far battery life seems the same. My phone did run hot yesterday for a few hours after updating (which happens with every major update in my experience), but today it is normal temperature and running fine.
