Not yet. I've now made calls on speaker and the earpiece, and everything has worked as expected. I'm still unsure why the beta was pulled from soem devices. I'm glad I got it on my 11 before was got pulled!
Thank you. Can you check if you have enabled mentioned setting? I am wondering what is the default for XR on iOS 14.
 
I've read people have had issues with the Health app on iOS 14 (no gps data, no heart rate/calories being recorded) - anybody here experienced any issues?

No problems whatsoever here, been fine all through the beta versions too..and I use health a lot due to using Strava and Workout on my Watch.

....definitely strange that some are experiencing major issues in the Health app (the main reason why I am holding off updating) whilst others are not??!

The guy on the Apple Health team I spoke to last night said it's affecting 10-ish% of those who updated to iOS 14 but they have no clue what's going on. Meanwhile I'm over here manually adding data to the Health app so it doesn't think I've been slacking off all week...

Is anyone having trouble with links in Messages? They never appear as hyperlinks or images when I receive them in the Messages banner; they're always just plain text, and then I have to open the actual message click the link. I don't know if this is a setting of my own, or if I've got a bug of some kind.
 
You are an absolute legend!!
Thank you so much for this information.
After 6 unsuccessful attempts I was coming close to going through with the OTA update but then I found your suggestion. :D

Initially I may have received this error because my phone auto locked. Not sure if iTunes then kept looping on this error.
Anyway I followed the trouble shooting for this error : I made sure that I had the latest iTunes, rebooted twice even, I connected iPhone 8 directly to PC (Windows 10), turned off auto lock on my iPhone, closed iTunes, re-plugged the cable... but to no avail.

The Error 4000 kept occurring at the Restore point for some reason.

Anyway I've now successfully updated my iPhone 8 from iOS 11.4.1.
And it only took around 20 minutes to update. It really wasn't long at all.
I would imagine it would take waaaay longer using OTA.

Update: I've tested my apps and force touch etc and everything is sweet. Very smooth. Loving it!!!

Thanks again notCoffee! ;)
You made the update experience a pleasant one for me.

I signed up for an account here to say: Thank you iLLUMI and notCoffee.

I spent half the day trying to figure out how to update my iPad to 14.0.1 and getting a 4000 error every time. I ultimately uninstalled the Microsoft Store version of iTunes and installed from the direct download from Apple. The first attempt with that version of iTunes gave me an opportunity to see the log file. In it I saw there was a 4037 error "Failed to commit stashbag" before the 4000. Google then led me to here.

Shift and click the update button!? Update from the ipsw file directly!?
Incredibly useful and life saving alchemy. Thank you both again.

11PM and I am not having issues as long as it is from and iDevice.
Other devices vary.
 
I’ve just installed iOS 14 on my iPhone XS.

Apologies if I’m totally missing the whole idea here but what exactly is the point of having the ability to install widgets on your Home screen when the same exact widgets can be installed on the Today screen, which is just ONE swipe away to the left of the Home screen??!

The Home screen widgets just duplicate what can be seen on the Today screen and offers nothing new from what I can see......?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s called having an option for those that do want it.

I dunno...seems like it might be fairly useful to have glanceable info on your Home Screen rather than having to flick right and then find the appropriate widget.

I am finding it enormously helpful.

The point was for iOS Widget location to be consistent before and after the upgrade. If Apple did away with the Today View there would be backlash because "I always flicked right and now my widgets are gone" or if Apple got installed a couple of widgets by default on the homescreen there would be backlash because "My icon layout has changed". This way people can ease into home screen widgets at their own pace.

I have found this weird sound bug on iOS 14 - when in an app that uses text, when you enter the very first letter, the sound volume of the keyboard is overly loud but when you continue to type, the volume then goes back to normal.

This only happens on my iPhone XS and is not happening on my iPad Air 2 (first gen) - anybody else experienced this?

Also - when adding a widget to the Home screen and you add say the smallest sized one, there is no way to resize the widget other than to delete it and then re-add and adjust the size. There should be an option to resize it by long pressing the widgets (so they enter ‘jiggle mode’) but this doesn’t actually exist....?

I have not experienced the keyboard sound issue, but I have keyclicks turned off.

With regard to changing the size of widgets, it appears to be how it works. Perhaps feedback to Apple would be appropriate. At times, I find this annoying... and I've seen posts from others with similar concern.

I think it will be interesting seeing how people initially then finally adapt / use widgets under 14.
While I will continue to test them in betas I have not really found a single one that makes more sense on my Home screen vs the Today screen.

When it works (i.e. I've opened the app so that the widget actually updates with events I've created on other devices or via other apps), Readdle Calendar's 4x2 widget changes colour to match the calendar colour for any event that's currently live, or about to become live. I find that very useful.

I also have a 2x2 weather widget on my homepage, but that's just because I think it looks good; it could have happily stayed on the Today screen.

I have a homescreen with news apps and that has the stock News widget on it. Niot really necessary but it does the job (when it works).
 
I think if they had created the Suggested apps widget and stopped there this would have been a success. Everything else is a bonus.

The sound thing has happened to me for years, since iOS 11, bug was raised, never resolved.

The resizing is coming, all through the betas it was in the Release Notes that it wasn't available yet.

Edit, it's in the iOS 14.0 release notes too: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-14-release-notes

I just experienced another bug on iOS 14....

So I have various shortcuts on my Home screen (custom icons which open the appropriate app), as per the multitude of posts explaining how to achieve this.

Well - all of my shortcuts suddenly stopped working (my phone was charging at the time), but when I cleared the Shortcuts app from the multi-tasking app screen (or whatever its called?!!), they all started working again....?!!!
 
Another possible random bug:

My AirPods case only shows in the Battery widget when I place the AirPods in the case and then I open the lid of the case next to my iPhone - then it will show both devices in the widget, but as soon as I close the lid, the case then disappears from the widget again.

Anyone else getting this?!

That's not a bug, that's normal behavior.

I'm still getting multiple instances whereby the shortcuts on my Home screen that I have created all stop working sometimes unless I kill the Shortcuts app from the open apps screen - then they all start working again...?!!

That sounds like one shortcut isn't terminating properly and is locking it up. I'm guessing.

...its difficult to troubleshoot really - I only have 8 shortcuts and they're all set up the same way. They all work when I press the shortcut in the actual Shortcuts app and they all work when I press the shortcut icon on the Home screen too. Its just that every once in a while, all the shortcuts and icons will stop working unless I then kill the Shortcuts app?!

Strange.......??!!
:oops:

Try asking Siri to run your shortcuts. Until it gets a clean exit, it moans about not being able to run it. I have a shortcut that (deliberately) takes 30 second to run, and Siri just moans and moans about how it can't run it, then says it's given up, even though the shortcut actually runs fine.

If all your shortcuts pass the "Siri test" then that was my only idea, and now I'm out of ideas :)
