What is it that people do not get about this?
If you need your phone for any reason, don't install betas.
The phone app has some layout bugs:
- If you add or change a profile picture, some of the top bars will turn from transparant to completely see-through
- If you search, go into a contact and go out, the search result screen is messed up
- If you add a profile picture, the pictures aspect ratio will be messed up in the favorites tab
Also the calendar app does have a events view, if you click on the search icon. But the events view is really slow to scroll through (as if it's still in debug mode). Fantastical suffers from the same lag when you scroll.
Btw, my app list:
- Facebook: working, but both the search screens are messed up
- Whatsapp: working, but if you switch between conversations in which you are typing, the bar with the text and send button will disappear. Click somewhere in chat (but not on a chat bubble) to get it back.
- Fantastical: working, but really slow scrolling and doesn't update if you have your mail and calendar set to manual instead of fetch or push (which seems more like an OS problem, as the default calendar doesn't update either).
- Solar: working
- ING (banking): working
- eWallet GO!: working
- OneNote: working
- Exact Online: working
- Flitsmeister: working
- Parkmobile: working
- KitCam: working
I will test some more.

Don't know if this has been reported but the Apple Store app won't let me sign in. I click "account" or "order status" and a window pops up saying "Apple ID Password" but no keyboard to type. Just "cancel" or "sign in". Clicking sign in flashes the screen and shows the same window again.
Slice crashes upon startup
Weird wifi bug - my router is in my basement, and I was on the second floor, the phone lags and switches between wifi and LTE, whereas before it would be able to maintain wifi. This wouldn't be a big deal if there wasn't a weird lag between switching where nothing is accessible.

When "Change with buttons" is off for volume control, pressing the buttons still changes the volume
Generally I can cope with the bugs, but there are too many now to comfortably use a device. Back to 6.1.4 until beta 2!
I had a similar issue when restoring last night. I had to do a restore from backup manually to get them to work correctly, after having done the update to iOS 7.
Pressing buttons on the dial pad after speaker is turned on during a voice call switches the volume to a minimum. Pressing volume up once puts it back at maximum. Weird.
Messages
If I start a new message and add a contact, if within that contact I have several phone numbers, when I choose one, the phone number rather than the contact name appear at the top of the message. With contacts with just one phone number, their name appears at top of message. Have I got a setting wrong or anyone else seeing this as did not happen before

Anyone else notice that Warhammer Quest is totally messed up? It is completely unusable in its current state. Who will fix app related bugs by the way? Apple or the devs responsible for the app?
The developers of this app will have to make it compatible with iOS 7. Since this is a beta release and not intended for public consumption, that probably won't be until later this fall.
iOS 7 beta 1 problem:
-Arabic text in notes
-playing music go silent after interrupting call
-Lock screen sleeps even if I'm holding the fast forward button
-Notification Center calendar not showing all-day events
-over heating while 3G is on
-Extreme battery drain while playing music

Pretty sure the devs are using the beta to improve and make certain things nicer. But there is no incentive for them to update to iOS 7 when public release isn't scheduled until this fall.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but when opening a folder that is in the dock, it doesn't open the folder smoothly, it just jumps open. Also, if trying to get rid of an app in a folder and moving it to the home screen, it restarts the phone, but only if the folder is in the dock!
