The time appears on top only if you start playing from control center, otherwise it nor apears
It's a bug for sure
I don't see it either. I must be missing something, but it looks normal when you try to delete an app.
Pretty sure it's more of a system type of thing (and would to any wallpaper essentially).
My battery is absolutely terrible. 1 hour of usage and 2 hours of standby later, I'm at 70%. I don't know what's causing it, after restoring and everything.
Does anybody know if the "Frequent Locations" service consumes lots of battery? It was pinging my phone literally once every 10 seconds.
Back to 6.1.3 for now. I know it's a beta, but I have had bad experiences with both b1 and b2, so I will happily wait for the GM, and also for the next iPhone.

I've had horrible battery life too. Beta 1 and 2. And honestly, if the location icon is showing frequently on your status bar without opening an app that uses location then it's most likely eating at your battery but I think the big culprit is the actual beta. I would have gone back to 6.1.4 by now but the changes are so dramatic that I would much rather start getting used to it now than later.
Yes, and thankfully you can turn it off. It's really glitchy right now, I'll turn it back on later once it's more polished.

I would keep Location Services off until you need it. It is a battery chewer, as is LTE.
If you are referring to the numbers in place of the signal indicator dots, that doesn't require a jailbreak just putting your phone in field test mode.
Location Services won't really use up the battery unless something is active (which you can tell by seeing the location arrow indicator in the status bar), otherwise, simply having the services on won't really do much one way or another when they are not in use.
Looks like the time on the lock screen is only shown if you play music from control center on the lock screen. If you play from within the music app when the phone is unlocked it won't show the time.
I don't know about others, but when I left it on, my phone got warm. My comments were in regards to the beta.
Maybe, if he's on iPhone 4S, the bug he is speaking of is about the impossibility of turning back to normal interface once you push an icon and you enter on edit mode in the spring board. Once the icons starts shivering, you have to restart the phone in order to bring it back to normal state.
All this you can see it in this youtube iOS 7 Beta 2 iPhone 4S hands on
EDIT: to see the bug, scroll to 7' 20"

Oh sorry, my bad. Seems I only get the time when playing music through control centre but I would have earphone control issues.
Did you see a location arrow in the status bar? Were any system services in location services in use (you can see that in the settings)?
Not that I saw. I know that if I don't see the arrow, it isn't running (at least it shouldn't be). I just know that I have tested it 3 different times with the same results. Location Services enabled phone starts getting warm. Toggle off and phone cools back down. It may not be LS but I am just relaying as best I know how what is occurring.
Yeah, that's strange. I would check the system services section in location services as those can run without the arrow appearing (although you can change that there too to make sure that the arrow appears for them too).
