While I would say this has been the most stable beta I have ever tried (been running beta's since iOS 3), I defiantly would not recommend you install a beta on a phone you use as your primary phone. In my experience, it would be best to wait for a Goldmaster beta of iOS 8 before considering to install it purely for development.

I put 7.1 back on, and it lasts all day again. The weird thing is I couldn't find anyone else experiencing the same issues, at least not by googling it.

Every app crashed at some point (even the bug reporter app when trying to enter bugs!), it was PAINFULLY 'laggy' taking 3-4 seconds to respond to a press. I reverted back to 7.1.2 to bring some normality back. BETA3 was released s i tried again.....although a LITTLE better, its still 'laggy' with random crashes all over the place. Back on 7.1.2 again :) Might just wait for the actual releae, rather than these BETA's! Comments DONT DO IT!!! :) i have 2 4S's which i loaded BETA2 onto, and it almost killed my phones.
