Anyone test Beta 4 on an iPad 2 or 3? Any noticeable improvements you've seen worth mentioning?

Smooth like butter on the iPad 3. Including typing and animations. A big improvement from the last beta and a huge drastic improvement in perfomenCe from 7.0.4.
 
I'll have to take a picture next time it happens.. but since I believe beta 2, the lock screen sometimes will lock (no pun intended). In other words slide to unlock will do nothing. Doesn't happen too often, prob only 4-5 times. Happens when I go to type my password and the buttons do nothing, also the screen appears to be more transparent than usual. I then always lock my phone again and upon trying to slide to unlock nothing will happen at all. Anyone else?

The lockscreen wallpaper zooms slightly when you wake the device.

When you tap the line indicators on the top and bottom of the lockscreen, the CC/NC slides into viwe a little. It's new in 7.1, but I'm not sure if it's new in B4.
 
You're right, but it's zooming differently. Either more than it was or faster.

EDIT: I checked side by side with a 7.0.4 phone, and it's definitely zooming more. It looks a lot nicer to my eyes.
 
Is the shut down menu the same?

It sucks! Last one was great. What about the 'Call' but in phone?

Since B3 contained "Parallax Off" while setting a wallpaper, if you turn it off does it scale properly like previous iOS versions? Or does it still zoom in.
 
Still has this issue, i have an artist called "The Roots" with 10 albums (152 songs) and it hangs for a long period while clicking on it to show the albums under this artist, it's the same while its playing and you want to go back to change the song it's pretty annoying :(

Love the Roots!
 
Lock screen doesn't stay on if being interacted with without unlocking. Beta 3 fixed this but it is doing it again in b4.
 
I don't know if this has been addressed in beta 3, but has the lag with Siri on iPad been fixed? Just seems slow on 7.0.4
