I don't know if I received a text while updating, but now I have a badge with a 1 in it on my messages icon. I've deleted all my texts and restarted but it's still there. Anyone else?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 3 to Developers

installed iphone 5 OTA and went flawlessly... haven't noticed any major differences but visually seems much sharper...
There is no way around the activation. It's available only to people with dev accounts or devices added to a dev account.
Silly question (perhaps)
First off, alow me to apologize for my ignorance of stuff like this or if it's been mentioned previously in another thread.
I'm intrigued by the live wallpaper option coming up. However, I'm plagued with very poor battery life already. I'm not a dev and am willing to wait till the fall for iOS7.
I'm wondering if the processor work to animate the live wallpapers will degrade battery life further or if the change will be negligible. Anyone? Bueller?

This. Apple used skeuomorphism because it helped people relate icons and elements on a 2D image to their real life. They started using it 30 years ago because no one knew how to use computers then. Arguably, OS X and its brethren (Linux, MS) are still too hard for the vast majority of users to understand.
OTOH, iOS is FAR EASIER. And the touchscreen interface is FAR MORE intuitive. My mother, who could barely do anything besides type facebook.com and google.com on Safari on her laptop uses her iPhone and iPad like a pro (Able to install apps, change settings, pretty much everything I do without asking).
Even more strikingly, I have seen 3-4 year olds use iOS without any trouble. And it has little to do with the green handset icon (a style of handset they have probably never seen, and never will see in their life).
Skeuomorphism is slowly becoming worthless because (a) touchscreen (with gestures) is more intuitive than a keyboard/mouse combo and (b) in the modern world, physical objects are less natural to people than digital devices.
Heck, even the clock icon is actually becoming less useful with time, because teens and people younger have probably never even seen an analog clock.
Itunes Match
Has anyone been able to get iTunes Match to work? It loads, but then it just takes me to a black screen

Beta 1 was actually pretty stable on my iP5 with AT&T. Beta 2 improved a few little quirks, but the OS seemed to get worse and worse the last week. Apps would open and freeze. Game Center would pop up during most games and freeze (at the login prompt).
I'm hoping beta 3 is as stable as beta 1 was and fixes the quirks like beta 2 did, at the very least.
My OTA says 6 minutes remaining. So far has been downloading for about 83 seconds.

Does anybody know if the "Autofill contacts" bug is fixed?
When one deletes a contact the autofill info and associated phone number stays
in the database and pops up in texting and phone directory, even though the contact was deleted.
Apple Forum is full of complaints since iOS 4 about this.

Good to hear. Oddly enough, mine stopped working about a week into beta2. I'd since downloaded Downcast while looking for a way to listen to my podcasts. It's been great so far; recommended. It's a couple bucks, but an app I plan on getting a lot of use from. Incidentally, the official apps of a few of my podcasts weren't even working correctly.
I think that the radios (Cell, Wifi etc.) and the display backlight use way more battery by themselves compared to live wallpapers CPU usage. The effect seems negligible on my 4S (I'm actually getting better battery life than on iOS 6 since beta 2).
