Yes, all iOS devices that are supported by iOS 7.1 beta 2 run considerably smoother and crash substantially less running iOS 7.1 beta 2.
I'd dare say that some of my devices (iPhone 4S and iPad 2) are running faster than they did with iOS 6.x.x.

Let's hope it gets even better with beta 3. There are a few annoying bugs here and there in beta 2 but I've been using it daily for three + weeks and love it!That's great news !

Are you testing it on an iPad 3? Also have they fixed the annoying crash when tapping twice the wallpaper icon in settings?
No but a colleague has it installed on his iPad 3 and he reports the same as me, "substantially improved and considerably faster".
Yes, the tap twice wallpaper crash has been resolved.

To anyone with 7.1, have they fixed the "slide area" for the slide to unlock on lock screen? I try to scrub music and it keeps unlocking my screen. Sucks.
I cannot slide to unlock above the volume slider on the lock screen. I hope that answers your question.

Anyone have the wifi network spinning wheel going non stop wen the network is not being used? This is happening on my ipad air.
iOS 7.1 Beta 2 Bug Fixes and Changes
I'm curious why you say that.. Is it the system crashes that make you think IOS 7 is a "dark sheep"? Because honestly I think that's far more to do with the evolving 64 bit support than anything inherently wrong in 7. On a 32 bit device 7 is rock solid in my experience.
The 64 bit issues will be resolved either in 7 or 8 but either way I suspect they were inevitable to some degree, with whatever version of IOS that had to first integrate support for the A7.

Good god. I just gave B2 a shot.
**** is horrible. Nothing like waiting 5 seconds for the keyboard to register a key is pressed.
Took 2 minutes to enter in my Apple ID just to register it.

It's called a beta. There are no. Two be bugs with it wish will be worked out by time the final comes out
Saying IOS 7.1 beta 2 is horrible is a understatement it's a beta and betas are no two have bugs
Sounds like something didn't go right with your install perhaps. Might want to try restating if not resetting settings or even reinstalling.
Except, you know, that doesn't happen. I'm sorry but just no. I get that my experience isn't the only one out there, but I have a 5th gen iPod and even when on a call and typing I get 0 lag. This device is also one of the, if not THE, weakest device currently supporting iOS 7. Now you could be exaggerating but your other posts don't give that conclusion.
I just backed up the 7.1. I'm going to wipe the device, install the 7.1 and put the backup back on.
I reset my keyboard dictionary, seems to be working for now.

If it keeps happening can you post a video? I would like to see that very much.
Reset all settings. An original iOS 7 beta in the summer had this problem and this solved it for most people.
Here's a bug I have come across on my iPhone 5S and iPad mini wifi. It's only the second time this has happened since running beta 2 and a reboot fixes it. There is nothing that causes it, it's completely random but not a big deal. The same goes for the today notification screen as well, the date is offset but not the calendar preview.

I've seen a variation of this on my iPhone 5S recently but in my case, it appeared to be as if it was formatted for an iPad based on the skew of the text. No Notifications was in the lower right hand corner of the All tab instead of being centered.

Anyone running iOS 7.1 beta 2 notice when you have an incoming notification banner (top of your iPhone screen) that tapping on anything other than the banner does nothing? It's almost as if the phone is locked up until I dismiss the banner (or it dismisses itself).
This seems to have started recently - iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1 beta 2, full restore as new and all apps manually reinstalled.

I am a constant user of iCal, one of the features that were available in iOS 6 was that any all day event would show up in notification centre but since I've updated to iOS 7 till the latest update 7.0.5 it's been removed. I thought it might be a bug but obviously it is something that has just been overlooked. Any all day event that you have doesn't show up in the today view in notification centre, if the event is limited to certain hours in the day it will show up in today view but not if it is a all day event. This is extremely frustrating for many people I know.
Can someone who has updated to iOS 7.1 beta tell me if it's fixed?
Thank you
