I have built a Beacon - full pyramid using Iron Blocks.
It is completely solid. I then chose the buffs - Haste II, as well as Regen for having the full pyramid, then activated it using an Iron Ingot.
However, even though I have the Haste II status effect applied, (the icon appears in my HUD, and the counter refreshes every 3 seconds), it has not applied the Regen (no icons appeared on my HUD) and it does not seem to actually apply to my digging speed at all - I have tried with two different Picks, one with Efficiency V, and one without. It takes just as long to mine if I did not have the Haste II enchantment applied at all.

So, as Fabian suggested in the comments, I missed a step.
- Build the beacon, and the appropriate pyramid size.
- Choose your enchantment from the left side to add it to the list of available enchantments
- Select it from the right side to "turn it on".
- Power it with an item.
I missed step 3.
I still don't understand why the effect appeared on my HUD, when it had not properly been selected in the beacon, it may be a bug, but I don't know.
2I had the same problem but I figured it out I had made the 9x9 pyramid all the way and tried to apply haste 2 but only would give me haste 1, when I inspected the pyramid properly turned out I missed an iron block when Building the pyramid which stopped the beacon from accessing the secondary power. Hoping this helps ;D

Nope, you didn't. You chose Haste I and Regen. Regen and Haste II are mutually exclusive within the same single beacon - to have Haste II you have to pick Haste I on the left side, and Haste II on the right. If you click Regen on the right, you only have Haste I and Regen.
