They got a nice upgrade in Beta4 , a promote input method ,9-cell format is better in the phones , but makes no effect in Pads, I think it is better to make a larger screen than waste a lot of time in reduce the size of IME.:)

They have fixed some bugs in Beta5, but it still exist some ,who knows what they are:)
 
No absolutely bug free. Performance about 1.5x better than iOS 6 on all devices. Should be released to the public in a few days.
 
There is a few bugs.
Multitasking gestures on iPad cause springboard crashes.
When there is no pass code set, boot up takes over 2 minutes.
Gaussian blurs are not available on some A5 devices, although there is no mention of this in the Changelog AND other A5 devices have them.

So you see: even beta 5 has problems.
 
There are still a few bugs. And some major ones too! I'm not gonna post them here because of nda, but I filed bugreports for them. The chances that youll experience them are not so big, but the impact is enormous! I think that is why they are not known to the public yet, but they are heavily reproducible so once many people start to use it people are going to complain about it. I don't think they are going life with those bugs still alive.
 
Only bug that I have really found is that the status bar appears when you close the app your in. Heres how to do it;
1 - Open an app
2 - Double click home button
3 - Swipe away the only app (Assuming nothing else is open, and the only app is the one you've just opened)
4 - Look at the very top of the phone

Only something simple and something similar has happened in the past, nothing to worry about. But other than that, pretty much bug free! Love it and battery life is just amazing! I got 4 days standby and 4 hours usage on my iPad mini with 65% left! And easily getting 3 days out of my 4S!
 
After updating to beta 5 I can no longer update my apps on my iPhone 5. They just sit there in a constant "waiting" state and yes, I've restarted my iPhone about 100 times and it has made no difference.

Do you have anything downloading in the iTunes Store? Or are you restoring from an iCloud backup and it could still be downloading Photos?
 
I installed it briefly the other day and one bug I noticed right out the gates was Safari closing out/crashing whenever I went to a forum thread on MacRumors.com. That was completely UNSAT so I went back to 6.1.4. :) Also, the battery life was abysmal for me.


Looks good though and it is beta. Few more weeks for GM release so I'm just holding out patiently.

Nope, it's been like this ever since I installed beta 5 the day it was released. I didn't do a restore (ran the update from the phone not iTunes) and I have not downloaded anything from the apps store since then either.

Only other thing I can think of is to sign out of the App Store and sign back in.
 
I just noticed one bug though it hardly affects anything. Sometimes the mail icon has the 1 badge displayed even though I have no new mail. Seems slow to update or something, but its not every time, only occasionally.
 
The 11th.

Additionally, when doing the crop of this screenshot I noticed that images smaller than the screen resolution are scaled up to full screen and you can't view it in it's actual 100% size (photos app). When pinching it smaller, it goes back to the list view.

And, when uploading an edited image from the image picker, it uploads the original instead the shown edited.

I also noticed that do not disturb when set to scheduled does not show up on status bar or does not work period. Wasn't completely sure on which and didn't try to investigate.

It's been working fine in the recent betas, including 5, for me at least. Are you sure it's set up to work while the phone is unlocked as well (in DND options)?
 
There is one big that really annoys me. When you save a page to your home screen from Safari and it requires a profile, it never recognizes/ saves it..it's kinda hard to explain..

I actually have more bugs in this release then ever before.

I am observing text message crashes. Safari crashes.. phone doesnt power on sometimes... test message noise is not heard.... text messages are heard incoming but not displayed while in the message.

This is pretty crappy for me.

I think it comes down to the way we installed iOS 7 Beta 5 to be honest. I'd be curious if we would see those issues on a fresh install?
