Yes I see it too. No idea what causes it. Seems to stop on its own for me. Wondering it things like weather or something updating is causing it.
Got a tip for us?

There's got to be something behind it. I don't have much enabled in notification center, and when I notice it happening I make sure even to close all applications, so theoretically nothing should be going on. There are certainly some other things, like email accounts and other similar background services.
It doesn't happen often, but certainly noticeable when it does happen. I wonder if it's after using a particular app or changing some settings that it might be doing something with that. I guess hasn't happened so much that I had time to experiment that much with it.
That said, the strange thing is that when I do notice this, I can leave the phone alone for some time (tried 15 minutes at one point) and it would still be going on for some reason, and then only thing that gets rid of it is a restart essentially.
How's the music app in beta 5? Can anybody with the build load up a song and try changing play back position using the seekbar in the music app? Is there any stuttering/lagging of the location indicator? If somebody could also test the music play back controls(mainly seekbar) in the lock screen, that would be awesome.
I had this issue on Beta 4 and it drove me crazy. I discovered that it was a stuck iMessage that I never received. Signed out of iMessage for a few minutes then went back on and the message appeared and the spinning icon vanished! Hope that helps you guys.
interesting, that makes since actually. Beta 4 has known iMessage issues. Also I have had a few iMessage troubles with beta 5 too with message not sending or sending as SMS text, random though. Could be on to something though thanks.

Today, I found a diagnostic log on my iPhone 5S that I've never seen on any iOS device before.
My 5S is currently running iOS 7.1 beta 5.
The name of the log is: FlashStatus-2014-02-11-181024.ips.synched and it contains the following data -
{"bug_type":176,"os_version":"iOS 7.1 (11D5145e)"}

EDIT: I had to edit my post to remove a majority of the log file contents as it doesn't wrap properly so what you see above is a very small snippet from the log.
Has anyone seen this and if so, know what it is/means?

Looks like they're still working on the podcast app and the integration between it and IOS 7.
The 15 second skip intervals are missing from the lock screen and control center.
If you tell Siri to play a podcast she no longer says she can't do that instead she prompts an install for the latest podcast app.

I've noticed my phone can get a bit warmer than normal with beta 5 as well. Nothing worrying, but it's noticeable.
If your phone gets warmer, the battery life must be worse too. Convervation of energy. This is worrisome.
I'd really like to know if this is simply a diagnostic of the flash in my iPhone or if it was generated because of critical failures.

Today the mail app on my iPad Air crashed 5-10 times on iOS 7.1 beta 5. Any help would be great.
Here is my diagnostics:
The "excresource" data has 4 more pages of the same thing. Strange. What does that mean?

My 5s blue screened and then resprung twice last night. Once when I left Maps open and locked the phone, unlocked via Touch ID and blue screen. The second time occurred when I attempted to launch the camera from the lock screen. Not sure what caused it, haven't had it happen ever on my 5s on 7.0.X or 7.1
I think so, feel like we would have gotten a beta last week if it wasn't coming soon.
Has there always been a GM before release? Or have they ever just gone from last beta to public? Apparently the SSL bug is in b5 so hopefully another beta or GM soon (like today). But we could be stuck waiting for a few mode weeks.
Last few releases were on a Tuesday. I want them to take their time with this, unlike 7.0.
Totally agree. They need to take their time and sort out the serious issues. It was expected to arrive in March and we are less than a week away from March.
I think people forget that maybe the most important purposes of the developers' beta period is to let developers make sure there are no breaking changes in the updates or fixes to APIs. I'm pretty sure Apple only updates and fixes their APIs for major (e.g. 7.0) and minor releases (e.g. 7.1), not smaller releases (e.g. 7.0.6). This is probably why there is no beta testing for the small releases.
If Apple are no longer making API changes in 7.1's continued development, there may be less reason to hand out betas. There will still be internal bug fixing going on for other bugs and issues, informed by bug reports from developer beta testers, external users of released software and of course internal testers. But there is not necessarily any reason to release those bug fixes as betas if they don't affect developers.
