Me to. Beta 2 is a disaster. Rolled back to ios 6.1.3 (4S) for now. My appdeveloping will have to wait!
There is something that drains my iphone's battery. It's an iphone 4, location services, bluetooth, 3g, parallax, background app refresh, all of them are disabled. I fully charged the iphone and I only unlocked it twice to check a missed call. As you can see in the screen shot, it is in stand by for an hour and the usage time is the same, I didn't use my iphone for even 5 minutes.

I found something, status bar icons were slightly bigger than home screen's sb icons in beta 1. Now, with beta 2, there's no size difference between home screen and lockscreen's status icons. At least on my ipod. Just me (bug) or everyone else?

I've noticed how smart iOS 7 is getting, or I just never saw it before because I hardly use facebook.
There was an update in the notification centre from someone's status, and iOS actually attributed an emotion to it. It said Jane Doe is feeling happy then put the status in quotes after it which was about passing a course. It looked something like : Jane Doe is feeling happy: "passed my course!".
Very clever indeed.

Anyone else's Podcast App stop working? Was working flawlessly yesterday, today? Nope.

Mine hasn't worked at all on either beta. When I open it up all I see is black, no content, nothing happens.
I had the same issue in all iOS betas... You need to manually go into Settings > Notification Center > Mail > EMAIL ACCOUNT > Turn them all on if you want...
They've already been turned on and off manually. Guess I'll try a clean restore. they were working in b1

Nevermind.
Hard reset cures all...almost
I get a small stutter when swiping between home screen pages when I don't use the default space wallpaper. Reported it and included a video.
Getting all three of these. Just bugs that should be ironed out in future releases.
FYI, Weather won't crash if you delete a city as long as it's not the last one on the list. For instance, I added a few, and then tried to delete some, and it only crashed when I was trying to delete the one at the bottom of the list. Hope this makes sense!
I read your post completely wrong
My comment was directed at the chap who couldn't access wifi on beta 1 where you had to accept a certificate, which you can do now.My apologies!
Unfortunately, I don't think that iOS 7 is magically interpreting Facebook friends emotions. Facebook rolled out new emoticons in their client so that you can post a status like "Loving iOS 7 beta! -- # feeling happy" and that's what probably showed up in your notifications.
Have you tried Reset All Settings? I don't have any issues with Notifications, but this reset usually fixes a lot of stuff.
I'm now receiving triple banner notifications when I'm in certain apps.
*UPDATE - Hard reset fixed my issue.
Still having major problems with iMessage on beta 2 (well, beta 1 was bad too). Before, an attempted iMessage would send as a text 90% of the time (after a few minutes of not sending at all), wait 5 minutes before sending as an iMessage (9%), and send as an iMessage as normal, immediately, 1% of the time.
As of a few hours ago, it was sending as a text 99% of the time, and as a delayed iMessage the other 1%. Then, all of a sudden, it went to showing text as the default, and will no longer even attempt to send as an imessage and the text window just shows Text Message.
I have tried turning iMessage off and on, logging in and out of iMessage, and restarting my phone. Nothing has worked.
Any advice?

The following bugs are things I've been experiencing on my iPod touch (5th generation) since updating to iOS 7.0 (11A4400f):
~ Dynamic Wallpapers cause SpringBoard to crash, and animations to lag.
WORKAROUND: Set a Static Wallpaper, and turn the Parallax off.
~ Wallpaper menus are slow regardless of which wallpaper is used. (Slow to set wallpapers on lockscreen and homescreen.
~ Siri's translucency in the menu is rough around the edges. Sometimes an issue will occur where Siri is unable to respond, causing SpringBoard to crash.
~ Notification Center and Control Center have issues where they cannot be accessed by a gesture. Notification Center has an issue where the Traffic for frequently visited places do not appear on iPod touch in this build, The previous build this was available as an option.
~ iCloud Keychain sometimes has an issue when enabled, where your Home Wi-Fi network is disabled as soon as enabled, and when device is rebooted, or turned off you MUST enter password for Wi-Fi every time. (fails to auto-connect to main network)
~ Memory Leaks? I have noticed in most of my reports in the Xcode Console that the iPod touch is experiencing frequent Low Memory reports due to SpringBoard regardless of the Wallpaper used etc....
~ Multiple App Crashes:
- Safari: crashes when selecting a favorite site (one of the new defaults apple.com for example)
- Music: crashes when scrubbing through a song sometimes (not always applicable.)
- AppStore: crashes on startup if a SpringBoard crash occurs.
WORKAROUND: Hard Reboot Device (seems to solve this temporarily)
~ iMessage sometimes has an issue of jumbling messages together.
WORKAROUND: Close and Re-Open Messages.app
~ Sometimes Dock can become "duo-toned" if the wallpaper is changed from a still to Dynamic
WORKAROUND: Reboot Device.
I have filed a lot of these on the developer portal already, and have discussed some of these issues. I was just wondering if anyone else had these particular issues as well? I HAVE tried restoring the device in question over THREE different periods.
- iOS 7.0b1 to iOS 7.0b2 OTA
- iOS 6.1.3 DFU and onto iOS 7.0b2
- iOS 7.0 Xcode Restore
- iOS 7.0b2 restored as new.
None of these seem to permanently fix the issues I am having. Hoping they are patched in beta 3. *EDIT* I have chosen to downgrade to 6.1.3 on my iPod touch 5th generation. This beta has caused too much trouble, I believe I have reported everything I was supposed to, to Apple. I will come back once I receive that email that beta 3 has come to the Developer Center.

Yeah, the status bar and the information/icons in it are the same size everywhere now in beta 2.

It's a Facebook thing, not an iOS thing (even not knowing, that one would typically more likely attribute it being something from Facebook rather than iOS).
Pretty sure this is a feature that Facebook recently implemented. It's not an iOS feature. https://www.facebook.com/help/427780037309149/
Alarm Volume Down, While Phone Volume is down
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not I haven't tested it yet. But my test iPhone is my Alarm and I set it for 730am everyday. Today I woke up late for work cause I didnt hear my alarm. Come to find out my iPhones volume was all the way down which affects the alarm from playing loud when it goes off. I dont think this was the case in the past.
Any ideas if this is a bug or not?
