iOS 7 Beta 2

My timezone has set one hour behind on auto. Anyway to fix this, as it obviously has a knock on effect with my calendar.

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

Lol says the guy who thinks you pay for Beta use.....

You are paying for access to Apple's developer tools. The betas are opened up to developers so they can implement the new APIs and tools Apple has put out.

You aren't paying to be a beta tester....
 
Phone is stuck with the Apple logo on black background with white loading bar? It went nearly to the end then reset and got stuck at the beginning. Any help?

I don't have a developer license if that's a concern.

If you didn't pay for a developer access through Apple you're doing it wrong. These are the same people that complain on here about flaws when MacRumors won't/can't do anything about it.

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

If there's a separate/different initial boot up "animation", just as there's separate/different initial welcome and set up process, compared to any other boot up, then a regular boot up (after restarting) could very well use the old boot up "animation". Might be a new difference, but doesn't really seem hard to imagine.

Not necessarily though either. Developers are given slots that they can give out to other people to test their stuff, and accordingly to test their stuff in relation to an OS update those people would need to have a the new OS update as well. Those people aren't necessarily developers, but they are part of the process nonetheless.
 
True I didn't payed, and no what I meant was, will iOS7 Beta 2 still fully (since it's only 200 MB operational after the expire date of Beta 1?
 
Auto rotae isn't working for me on multi tasking but works in safari and messages and music etc.

Did the bubbles get lighter at the top in the messages app in a convo? They seem to get lighter toward the top of the screen now.

The pinch to zoom in album view (music app) is slightly different, more of a staggered effect now
 
Hi guys i'm coming at you because I need your expertise.

I tried installing the beta 2 OTA but my phone's stuck on the preparation screen.

It's been stuck for almost an hour now.

Is it normal ?

I'm running ( I was ... ) iOS 7 b1 on an iPhone 5.

Thanks :(

There are people on both sides (with dev accounts and without) making stupid comments and complaints about the betas.

Generalizing isn't a good idea - devs pay for developer tools. They also have 100 UDID slots to fill in with whomever they choose. Even those who aren't paying may still be "doing it right."

Not everyone who didn't shell out $100 is playing with iOS 7 wrongly, same as not all of those people who didn't get iOS 7 through the dev portal are whiny complainers who don't know what they're doing.
 
I feel like all of the icons on the home screen have moved up to the top bar, almost too much. Not sure if that makes any sense. I'm speaking of the default location.

Yes.....otherwise how would any of our phones function? Are you assuming that devs aren't restricted by the same expiration dates? Of course they are - all the date means is Apple will stop signing the first beta by that date so there's no way (unless you have the ipsw's saved) to downgrade.

Much like there are still some people on iOS 5 even though Apple hasn't signed iOS 5 in over a year.

It's not like Apple has some "kill switch" that will render all iPhones on beta 1 useless.

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.

I don't have the new boot screen. My does the frozen spinning wheel
 
Two issues in beta 2:

1) If you are in an app, then double tap and close that app, the background goes black.

2) Vine no longer plays videos, as it did in Beta 1.

Also Skype messages don't work, but that is a standard feature of iOS 7.
 
I prefer the USA female voice of Siri,

'Siri, tell me a joke'

I can't. I always forget the punch line

'Please tell me a joke'

Ian, I don't know any good jokes, None in fact.

'Tell me a joke'

What did one iPhone say to the other iPhone? ... Hmmm, I used to know this one.

Siri is becoming quite a comedian lol

The expiration of the beta means a lot more than that, the iDevice will be locked and you are forced to update the iOS. I know because it happened to one of my devices.

Ahh ok - still though, devices on the latest beta won't cease to work until that particular beta's date has come and gone.

Thanks for the info though. This is my first time checking out the beta! :D

The line they have put across the top will disappear if you have a dynamic wallpaper.
