On top of the improvements in alerts while on a call, I've noticed vibrations are stronger in beta 4. Anybody else?
 
Lol a software update doesn't upgrade your vibrating motor. It's the same, guys.

The motor can be run using different patterns and I assume speed. The iPhone 5 motor, as others, is a rotational counterweight design and so possibly could be made "louder" or "stronger" depending on how it was used. Versions of the iPhone with the linear oscillating vibrator (4S and I think the Verizon 4 only) may not provide a noticeable difference as they are quieter and softer to begin with... just guessing.
 
seems new text messages show up on the lock screen but they dont bring that message to the top of the messages.... so you open message and it looks like you dont actually have a new message at all... but when you scroll down to find the last message from that person then there is a blue dot next to it and the new message is there.
 
Why the control center does not include:
- celular data and 3g
- location services
- hotspot
- the ability to close all multitasking apps

Damn I loved the way my 4S vibrated, wish they stuck with that oscillating motor.

Because letting you customize it would just be too much wouldn't it? I personally never use Bluetooth and airplane mode, I'd much rather replace those with cellular and hotspot. Close all apps would be better in the switcher itself somewhere.
 
Is it me or calendar is now displaying "1" properly, right in the center?

One way this easily reproduced that I stumbled across this morning (on iPhone5):

  1. Open any app capable of landscape (e.g. Safari)
  2. Flip the phone to landscape such that said app is in landscape mode
  3. While in landscape mode, drag up the Control Center (which should obviously also be in landscape)
  4. Click the Home button to dismiss Control Center (or dismiss it normally by flicking it down)
  5. Click the Home button again to dismiss the app
  6. Your status bar should now be landscaped (along the right side of the screen in portrait)

To get the status bar oriented correctly again, hit the Sleep button and then wake your phone/slide to unlock again.

Yes it happened. Fresh install, no backup. It occurs only if you switch the orientation button on in control center when in landscape mode

IOS7 Beta 3 had some bugs but didn't really crash/restart.

I've lost count of how many random restarts/crashes I've had on my iphone 5 running beta 4.

One seemingly consistent event is from a locked screen, pull down notification center and swipe left, RESTART.

Also in IOS7 are all apps in the multitask view actually running? I didn't really pay attention in IOS6 because it seemed I didn't need to. After closing everything I noticed that everything was a little quicker and less apps randomly quit.

I'm finding my phones restarting more in Beta 4 than Beta 3 also and apps that ran well for me before now randomly crash while in use but on the other hand apps that didn't work for me now do :)

Yes yesterday it crashed restarted 3 times for me

I'm having the opposite experience. Beta 3 was constantly crashing on my 4S and that annoying lock screen black screen bug happened every 5mins. Now I haven't experienced a single crash or lockup on beta 4. And that pesky lock screen bug - it's gone! :)

That's not happening on my 4S. Have you tried resetting all settings? Sometimes fixes things.

Oh I didn't know you were such an expert in everything! Do you ever have anything meaningful to add to this forum!? Actually, looking at your previous posts answers this question!

There is a noticeable difference on my iPhone 5 and this has happened before in a beta if I remember correctly.
 
Found this weird bug, while rearranging my apps.

Edit: now it's back to its normal position, but It's not clickable and has a transparency. The app name is located on the next page. Huh?

Just wanted to point out significant battery changes with my Verizon iPhone 5. From B1-3 my battery would drop to 65%-75% within 2 hour's time listening to music and browsing Facebook. I've done the exact same thing since installing, OTA again, and I'm coming into work at 90%-95%. :)
 
i didn't see it in the list yet, but when you get a notification banner, in beta4, you cannot swipe down from the banner to view notification center :(
 
Hi,

All my photos artist are gone since I did a fresh install of beta 4 :(
any trick to have them back ?

thanks!

Another issue i've been having with b4 is creating calendar events. After typing the name of the event, if you immediately go to change the time/date, calendar.app crashes. Soft & hard reboot with no avail. I have to create an event, save it, and then go back into it to change the time/date. Iphone 4

bump! :)
