IOS 5 Beta 5 SUCKS!

Beta 5 is giving me major headaches. I haven't had this many problems since Beta 1. I'm about to go back to iOS 4 and just wait now. Even restoring from old old backups doesn't fix the problems i'm having (music doesn't play, photos show up all blacked out). Just lots of wonky stuff. Yes I know it's a beta and stuff like this is to be expected. I guess I'll just restore completely fresh and not from a backup. Hate to lose my games progress, etc though.
 
I've had several problems with this beta, while I had zero problems with beta 4. One major issue I'm seeing is notifications not clearing from the screen when I'm in a full screen app.
 
I can't even sync my phone... every time I connect it to iTunes I get the set up new iPhone screen and I am able to restore from back up but nothing further. I can't sync any of my songs, videos, podcasts etc... :mad: I've searched online and haven't seen anyone else having this issue. I did a full restore not OTA...

Yes I had the exact same problem. So now I just restored fresh without using a backup on my Mac. Everything seems fine so far. Just hate to lose progress on my games, and have to re-enter all my passwords, etc.
 
after I take a picture and go to the albums, all the picture appear as blank squares. But when I click one, the picture will load after a few seconds. Anyone know a fix to this?

anyone getting the same problem?
 
People, don't forget we are talking about Apple, which perfects the IOS in every possible way and will launch as many betas as they think it needs to make sure the software runs smoothly and stable as possible.
 
I updated OTA and had a lot of problems, including my battery dying at an alarming rate. I backed everything up and restored using the IPSW and it is working very well now.
