Apple Seeds iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 to Developers with Fix for Passcode Lock Bug

Many people are having severe issues. Full signal strength with drop outs on the 4S and 4, making the wifi unusable. Some have the wifi greyed out completely.
On the iPhone 5, some people only have a good connection when in the same room as the wireless router. Turn a corner, and it dies, even though it still has full bars in the connection.
Consistent drop offs with full bars.
Everyone had zero issues with the same devices (the 4S and 4's) on iOS 5. This all started with 6.0. Apple pushed out one wifi fix, and it didn't fix everything.
Not everyone is experiencing this, but there are hundreds of posts on the Apple forums with these issues. It effects iPod touches and iPads as well.
DFU restore doesn't help. Jailbreaking doesn't help. Resetting network settings doesn't help. Changing setting on the router doesn't help. Some are temporary, but the problem always comes back. It's a software bug, that needs fixing for this who have issues.
Just a few...

iOS 6.1 wifi issues
Well, it was winter so the lake was frozen. The five magic mice were for backup only and the MacBook Air was used to order 2500 pizzas.

Or many other of the Wifi disabled/greyed-out threads on the Apple discussion forum.
I've never noticed that the App Store is slow.
Is it possible that your ISP download speeds are slow??
I still have the wifi bug that when I watch live m3u8 streams on wifi the stream buffers continuesly and stops while it works fine on LTE and 4g,, tried everything with no luck,, even bought a new router and changed Dns setting,,, no software upgrade has fixed it,, I think it's hardware related 
In case people didnt see the blog stuck in the iOS Page, 6.1.2 is covered by the Evaders...
Now the question is if 6.1.3 will be...
Im not taking that chance..will be restoring and rejailbreaking to 6.1.2 tonight

If you lived in Japan, you would understand. Sometimes, you can't get there from anywhere.
All these updates? Seriously? Could they not have gotten all of this right within one update?
Exactly. Many people with iphone are getting the sense the OS is infected or unstable b/c they only had so many updates with Windows XP.
Horrible user experience to have to update your OS 3 times in one month. I thought Forstall leaving would IMPROVE iOS. Guess not.

Wouldn't have happened under Jobs!
Dude seriouslly. You need to move on. You need to let Steve go. We have Tim and Sir Jonny now. Mistakes happen under any CEO of any company.
Seriously people, why are you complaining about the fact that a Jail Break does NOT work with a Beta Build that only PAYING APPLE DEVELOPERS LIKE ME ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS BETA BUILD? JUST FYI.
I have seen several Tweets from people who said that 6.1.3 beta 2 breaks the untethered evasi0n Jailbreak. They can still boot tethered so they are still Jailbroken; but it breaks the untether.
I think it might be safe to assume that unless by some miracle evasi0n 1.5 can work around this, that the evasi0n untethered JB will be gone with 6.1.3 final.
See for example this Tweet from @digidude512
P.S. Anyone else who has this Build is in Violation of Apple's Beta TOS, Just FYI.
Give us one OS release per day. Show Google who is the man!
There is a very good reason why Apple released this as a Beta rather than to the General Public: I tried to install this from an IOS 6.1.2 Installation as an Upgrade from 32 Bit Windows 8 Pro Edition Itunes 11.0.2 and the Upgrade FAILED! I eventually had to put all 4 of my Apple Devices in DFU Mode to Upgrade from IOS 6.1.2, Just FYI.
You didn't expect Apple to LEAVE THE BARN DOOR OPEN PERMANENTLY did you?

Do a search on Princeton Road in Zip Code 60102, it's actually supposed to be Whitehall Lane.

My Bug Report on the Previous Issue that I just mentioned regarding Whitehall Lane being called Princeton Road has been Open since IOS 6.0 Beta 1 and although the Problem uesd to be worse (a larger section of the street was previously Misnamed) it still has not been fixed 100% to my Satisfaction.

I thought General Public Releases USUALLY come out on Winds Day @ 10:00 P.S.T.?
