QUOTE(andrewtho @ Jun 29 2020, 08:49 AM) Been almost 24 hours running iOS14 - I must say, the beta is very smooth and haven’t encountered any issue so far. I’m using it on my main phone btw. Anyone who cant wait, feel free to install it. You can always rollback to iOS13 if you dont like it. Download Link - Beta Profile.comSorry, just wondering this beta is developer one right? Need to pay. The public beta coming out in July I think

As in the sensitivity of activating the back tap function on purpose.

Gentle reminder, if you are on iOS 14 and somehow need to downgrade, you will not be able to restore a backup from a beta firmware to iOS 13.
So please make sure the existence of a second backup file.

All is good for iOS14 except for battery life which sucks a bit, can't wait for the official beta! 😁

Yes I did, I turned it off thou. Kept getting unregistered taps when placing my phone on the table. It works with a casing as well, but need to tap harder.

Definitely looking forward to this feature, at least to me.

been using it for about a week now. battery life is decent. last me one and the half days.
never experience crashing. stability is good.
But one thing that bugs me the most is i experience a weird bug where my space showed lower than usual but will get more free space if i make use of the space. just like today, i recorded a video (1080 60fps) for about 30 secs, the free space suddenly becomes more than last time. before on ios 13.5, my free space is around 20gb but after updating to ios 14, it went down to just only 2gb. cleared and uninstalling most of my games, clear my whatsapp chat and i got back my 5gb.
but today suddenly its up another 5gb.
such a weird bug

Does it look and feel better than the iOS of old?

the smartstack widget can be placed at the top, center and below. for the short widget, from top, left and right, middle left and right, for bottom, left and right.
the large widget can fill like 2/3 of ur screen so u can place it up or down.
for now im using smart stack+ with small widget (smart stack for weather and calendar and small widget for battery indicator.
as for the looks... well i guess its the same as the old ones but with widget lah. looks a bit fresh from normal ones la but nothing to shout about i guess
