iOS 7 Beta 2 Bug Fixes & Changes

[ritmomundo]

I may have misread a post earlier in this thread but can Parallax be toggled on/off? Where can I find that toggle on the phone?

Settings > General > Accessibilty > Parallax

 

[nishimura]

Yeah I'd rather have parallax off I think it throws off the lining up of different apps.

 

[mrapplegate]

Works fine on my iPad mini

Works fine for me as well.

Beta 2 seems overall worse to me.

One of my favorite features was the "Define" feature. In b1 you couldn't close out of the definition. Now you can close out of it but no definition! All I see is "English" and "Japanese". No idea why on Earth I'd want both an English and Japanese definition by default.

It's still there in the same place in Accessibility where it was before--it's just called Parallax now rather than the more "confusing" Reduce Motion that was there in beta 1.

Seems like a bug, but it doesn't seem that that one small item would really make a whole beta that actually fixes and introduces more features overall worse.

No one has made one of these yet, so I'm feeling a little risky and thought I'd do it. (Don't get your panties in a knot if I'm doing something wrong )

Mine's still downloading. I'm glad the gears still spin! And over 200MB is a lot for an OTA update - what could this mean?

Update - Changes So Far:

- new Siri voice
- Reduce Motion is know referred to as "Parallax"
- Voice Memos are back: now featuring incorrect sound waves (you'd think Apple engineers might take a physics class or two?)
- New Messages.app animations : no more waddling into the thread
- Tapping on a calendar event in the Today section of Notification Center now actually takes you to that event in your calendar.
- No more status bar funkorama in old apps
- iCloud Keychain is now adoption during setup*
- A brief explanation of iMessage and FaceTime are now provided Turing setup
- iPad beta is now available!*
- Legibility of text on some buttons has increased*
- Better album art display on lock screen*
- More appropriate animation for entering/leaving an app when the icon is not on the particular page where left off
- New animation upon photo deletion
- Social icons (Facebook, Twitter etc) in settings have been updated.*
- The FaceTime app is now black & blue with a much better blurry front camera background (meaning it's actually usable now)*
- Removed the hideous default wallpaper
- I'm not sure where these asterisks are coming from******
- Improved text shadowing and display on home screen*
- Swipe to go back now works in apps like Photos and Music
- iCloud backup now appears to be working- Pulling right to left on message bubbles displays time stamps (or a naked lady... apparently?)
- New pinchy photo physics (thanks for grabbing my attention)*
- New (I'm not sure what to call the Cover Flow replacement) pinching animation
- Artist's name is displayed in place of no album art in Music.app
- When tapping the button at the top right of Now Playing to view the album track list, the name of the artist and album, as well as the art is at the top of the list
- Messages notifications on the lock screen now display the "slide to reply" text underneath
- Swiping to delete songs is now possible in the Cover Flow replacement*
- The user is notified if their pass code is too weak
- Contact's nicknames now appear in Messages.app (if one is set)
- Reminders has nicer cards and looks less experimental overall
- The Messages typing bubble (��) appears to be slightly different
- Traffic Conditions may now appear in Notification Center
- Images of contacts in group conversations now appear beside the bubbles
- Newsstand now uses the system wallpaper

I just noticed this one:

When sorting by artist, you now get the artist's iTunes photo instead of a random album cover. It's still shows album covers for artists without a custom iTunes page, I'm assuming.

Unfortunately, now a lot of my music looks like the same group of 4 or 5 dudes wearing slightly different clothes.

First time I go into Newstand, I get transparency showing the background but then when going into the app moments later, it loses that! Then, after a while I'll check again and I'm back to transparency.

Why are you spamming the site?

 

[Ryan Burgess]

Random bug...when in a FaceTime call I get this banner appearing constantly…

Also on the home screen the status bar turns black and isn't visible with the wallpaper…also the status bar doesn't rotate when the rest of the screen does.

I can't see the iTunes Radio

 

[Apple_Robert]

I can't see the iTunes Radio

If you are outside the U.S., you won't see it right now.

Thanks for your quick reply and where is the control center configuration?

 

[Maclver]

Small minor UI bug that is bothering me lol

The search icon is blurred out on the iTunes Music Store

 

[Apple_Robert]

Just had a random reboot while playing iTunes Radio. First time I have been around the phone to see it happen in beta 2.

 

[nishimura]

Whenever you switch languages, the iPhone will crash.

unable to delete new york from the weather app. swiping and deleting crashes to springboard.


this was after updating to beta 2 OTA

then resetting all settings and then changing them all back how I wanted them (was trying to fix the missing album art from the landscape mode, which didn't work)

then syncing without my music, then resyncing my music (album art works now)

Edit: after multiple power cycles/reboots, and moving new york up and down in the list in the weather app, it finally decided to delete.

Yeah I couldn't remove "New York" too lol.. I realized that you can't delete the last one or it will crash.

Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen.

 

[rman726]

Thank god they fixed the iTunes Match download icons. You can actually easily click them now.

 

[nishimura]

I've noticed the "Report to Apple" is switched off by default.

When something crashes, will Apple know about it if I turn it on?

 

[Sundar83]

Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen.

I didn't ask that I asked the settings option for control center have to add the 3G option in the control center

 

[Will2145]

Everything would be in the settings. As of right now we are not able to change the settings so no 3G add ons

Nothing new in the control center settings

Noticed the Do Not Disturb moon is darker/gray compared to what it used to be.

You may have meant to be more concise, but you weren't.

in Reminders, im not getting any reminders to show up in notifications and when clicking the "Clock" icon that takes you to the Scheduled card it doesnt show any reminders, it just list the number of items scheduled.
