So I take it no One else is having issues activating notification center then? Maybe I should set up as a new phone
In the App store, when you open the app store and click on the app you wish to download from the store, it appears as though nothing happens, but the app actually starts to download and install. In the past, the App Store app will close, sending you back to your home screen.
i need some help.i donloaded beta 6 because in the beta 5 i have an issue and it just says check for updates anyway.i went to expand it as .ipsw by putting it in the end and it just when it converted in itunes it says fimware not compatible what do i have to do.Does anybody has a step by step for Transmac? thanks
What's the general consensus so far? Snappier? Less bugs? One step closer to GM or does it need one more release (beta 7)?
i get some glitches with apps and notifications, like the messages app, they get pushed down for notifications and get stuce with black borders. have to come out and then close the app via fast app switching and start again. 
also now and then i get the black screen spinwheel when unlocking after getting a notification.

Beta 5 works wonderfully with my Pioneer head unit. It finally works as it should. I haven't tried beta 6 yet.
Haven't tried with updates yet.
As far as new purchases go, yes, you are still booted to the home screen.
I've been having issues with whatsapp, after a few messages it respring the phone. Anybody having this issue? Just reported it at the dev forum btw
I don't see there being another beta, this is a very solid release. I genuinely believe that the next release could be the GM.
A vast improvement over Beta 5.

That's nothing to do with iOS 5.
The developer needs to update their app. Sky News shows a list of stories but when you choose one, the page is blank. Sky need to update, no point blaming iOS 5 or indeed the app developer when we're still in beta.
I have the photo restore bug, though all my photos in my camera roll and Photo Stream are restored and work properly. Doesn't hinder usage of the photo app at all, though so I'm not worried about it. I havent resynced my photos that aren't camera roll yet, though, as I sync with my work computer. I'll do that tomorrow. Both beta 5 and beta 6 OTAs worked very well for me, though, and I haven't reset or restored for either...just oTA from beta 4.
Beta 6 seems snappy, though.

I just installed beta 6 and it works fine with my Pioneer head unit as well.
b5 was faster than b6. In b6, when opening messages.app (to a text), and I try and click the back arrow to my list of messages, it just sits there for like 5 seconds, then I can finally go back or type something. b5 did that. its like every other better takes a step back. b1, good. b2 bad. b3 (didnt try) b4 meh, b5 great, b6 meh. Cant wait till I dont have have to do a full resync after doing a delta update to have my pictures. idk why they get deleted.
