Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 4 to Developers

[Mollan]

Some spare improvements:

- Lock screen: control center and notification center arrows became dashes
- slide to unlock now has a rainbow animation (instead of white) and a > symbol to indicate direction
- in notification center it is possible to swipe between tabs
- in notification center the X used to remove the notifications are now coloured according to the background
- in Camera the HDR logo is moved on the top
- "square" mode became 1:1 mode in Camera
- some changes in the call menu, especially for the green and red bars/buttons. Now are less like Windows Phone OS.

hdr button improved

Now the HDR button is on a separate bar in the camera app rather than being overlayed on the image field of view. This is better because previously sometimes I could try to click HDR but instead tap the image by mistake and trigger a focus rather than toggling HDR mode. Good move, Apple.

About time they put folder animations from the dock.

Airplay has icons now

Airplay now works with non-Apple devices (again!), and has new icons next to the device type to indicate capabilities. Maybe in advance of the iTV?

I think this was there since DP2 or DP1

hmm.. OK. I've done all my installs and reboots while connected to PC and never got it before. Wonder what made this time different?

I think that's relative to your background and not the default option. I noticed it changed colors depending on my background at least.

Timer shows on lock screen

Don't know if this is new to DP4, but I just noticed my timer shows on the lock screen...nice addition.

I don't know but I got it before. I think it was DP2 or 1. Can't remember but it popped up when I had plugged my iPhone 5 to my dads laptop that I never plug it to. So I don't know

How's the battery life?

 

[evaporateddwarf]

Hopefully this helps my battery life. With moderate usage, my phone is lasting about 6 hours. I unplug around 7:30, and my battery is dead around 1-2.

How's the battery life?

This version just came out and it's going to take time to test.

Go to the dev site and re-register your device's UDID...

How do I do that?

Receiving calls - Phone not locked

Redesigned buttons when receiving phonecalls and phone not locked

 

[PezCore]

Dunno if this was in previous betas but tapping the "i" in the Facetime app now gives the amount of data used next to the duration of the call....IE 6 minutes(18 MB)

How's the battery life?

That's certainly answerable since the beta was just released an hour ago.

Go into Mail, Contacts, Calendars and change the appearance of "Short Names".

nice! thanks for that...

Selecting a photo for new wallpaper does not allow you to pinch it out to fit. It remains zoomed in too much.

It's because of the superfluous parallax effect. If you tilt the device, what would it show? So, it has to have a margin to display on tilt.

Can't Answer The Phone

Can anyone confirm that the bug making it so that it was not possible to answer an incoming call has been resolved?

Been there in the previous

 

[macgeek727]

I've had the same problem...I tried calling myself from a landline in beta 4 and only got one call. Hopefully that's true of all calls.

I too have been having problems getting phone calls. my friend called me twice and he said it rang for 30 seconds and then went to voice mail. So you are not the only one with this problem.

Passcode Glitch

Has someone notice the in some case while you are entering your passcode the little dots on top may change of color? Im using an iPhone 5!

UPDATE: Happened again!

 

[jwilson25]

In the music app can you now, 'play all' when a particular artist is selected?
You could do this in iOS6 and below but not iOS7b3.

Image

Yes, you can now go into an artist, and select any song, it will start playing all the songs in order from that song.

 

[PezCore]

Noticed that when playing music and then viewing it on the lock screen the carrier logo will "float in" and if it is too long like AT&T M-Cell it will adjust from "AT&T M-Cell" to "AT&T..."

 

[jwilson25]

Installed on my iP5, hoping this resolved the no incoming calls issue from b3.

Is eBay for iPad working for anyone else? Couldn't get mine to work on my V3 iPad on beta 3 or 4

Launch screen comes up with an 'accept t's & c's' button but I can't press it. Shutting down the app and restarting brings back a crashing launch page without the buttons needed to proceed.
