Has anyone installed Beta 2 instead of updating without a registered developer ID? I read that it bricks the phone?

no.. it doesn't brick

Guys, I have a question, is Skype or Google Translate is working? On beta 1 it constantly crashed.

My phone have been stuck on "Preparation" for an hour - is this normal? Should I restart my iPhone 5?

For the 30th time - it does not. Please read the thread.

On which iPhone 5s wifi works perfect, on which it looses connections, on which you can't connect and what router do you have?
Have a netgear WR841N and lose connection after ~1-2 minutes.

In iOS 7 b2, if you type in a phone number and hold down the Call Button instead of just pressing it will initiate a FaceTime Audio call.

Thank goodness. I hated that weird wobbly crap.

Where are the release notes?

On the developers site.

I was hoping Beta 2 would fix it, but it appears it hasn't. It's pretty clear now that the source of the crashes is due to a fundamental change in the OS, which means that skype, after not releasing an update in nearly a month, needs to get their act together.

Is it just when you try to enter messaging like it was in beta 1? Saw some folk got it sorted by deleting and re-installing it. Does that work here?

it works!

it's normal..

Skype would crash during beta 2 when you tapped on 'recents' or went into instant messaging. Still the case here?

Perhaps that's the new initial (set up) boot up screen, but the usual/regular one is still the same as it was before--black with a white Apple logo.

Idk why they would have two boot up screens...

I think the biggest problem with a predominantly white OS is that it makes any flaws in backlighting color and consistency much more obvious.

When I first saw the Bonjour, Ciao, etc.. screen I thought the update wiped my data. Whew...

Not to mention it drains the battery more than a dark one!

There is also a new feature that employs keychain from our Macs. I set it up to work but haven't used it yet. May make it easier to use our financial apps.

Got a question, I recently updated to iOS 7 Beta 2, they say that iOS 7 Beta 1 expires July 24th, does Beta 2 overwrite Beta 1 (Since Beta 2 is only 200 MB)? Will the iPhone still be operational, after 24th of july if you updated to Beta 2?

The initial startup process, with the welcome and other settings screens, is generally different, so taking that difference as far as even the actual initial bootup screen wouldn't be that crazy.

I'm assuming you didn't pay for your beta use thru Apple or else you'd know the answer to this question.

Thank god, that animation looked so good in the Apple iOS 7 video. I was so disappointed when I saw it wasn't there in beta 1.

Each beta has its own expiration, which is usually later than the expiration of the previous beta. Not quite sure what it is for beta 2 now--someone will usually find it and post it somewhere.

That would be correct but the white background and black apple wouldn't change back.
