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?

I'm not sure that's it. I installed beta 5 OTA, as I did all the previous betas (except 1, of course). Safari has never yet crashed on any website, including this one. Then, a few days ago, I did a clean install of beta 5 in an attempt to solve the iTunes Store crashing problem. Safari still runs perfectly. So, there must be some other factor that's causing it to crash for some people, but not for others.

EDIT: I just remembered that there were a couple of times Safari crashed for me on this website. It was always the same couple of threads. I think there was an embedded video or something that Safari couldn't handle.

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.

Embedded Videos on Macrumors crash mine too or the video gets stretched out and need to scroll forever
 
my major gripe with Beta 5 is when I'm talking on the phone the keypad somehow activates and my cheeks end up hitting a few keys. I'm sure it will get ironed out, just annoying for now.
 
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.

Clean restore should fix that.

Only 2 bugs I have experienced.

When playing music from the lock screen, say you scrub to the middle of a track, then listen for 4 mins, then unlock phone and the track reverts back to where you used the scrubber on the lock screen. Sucks when listening to hour long mixes.

Other bug might not be iOS but on this site, you tube videos embedded in the mobile version crash safari 99% of the time.. Not when playing from the main home page but after clicking comments and scrolling through a thread.
 
So when I use Safari via iPhone and click the lower right corner (to view other browser "tabs") I notice I have my iPad tabs listed via the cloud.
I did a fresh install and I setup the iPad with a new name, now I have 2 sections of iCloud browser tabs. One with the old iPad name (and previous open browser tabs) and the new iPad name with current open browser tabs.

Not sure how to remove the old iPad cloud links. Tried clearing everything, I need to find out how to shut down the iCloud browser tabs and let it reset.

And settings, iCloud, Safari off does not seem to clear it. Must be stuck in the cloud...

This has been happening to me since beta 1, but does anyone have a large amount of "other" space on their iPhone? I've been restoring my phone as a new device after each beta, and after a couple days the other space would grow to around 1.30 GB.
 
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.

lol that pesky nda gonna get you arrested, better watch yo self
