iOS 7 Beta 2

Not sure if this is new but I don't remember this in iOS6 or iOS7 beta1

Siri asks you how to pronounce a name that is in your contacts.

i.e. it asks how to pronounce my wife's first and last name when I ask siri "who is my wife?"

Better than having to phonetically spell it out in contact card.

I tried this, but it doesn't actually use the correct pronunciation ... :confused:
 
The passcode to unlock your phone can be either a 4 digit code, also you can set it to an actual letter password that you can type in using the qwerty keyboard
 
Taking photo from messages (to non iMessage user) crashes messages and then my wifi shut off.

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

this is actually an incorrect assumption many people make. A predominantly white OS would drain the battery more if it was being displayed on a CRT or even an OLED display but since the iPhone uses an LED backlit LCD display the backlight is always on. The LED backlight itself is slightly blue and uses yellow phosphorous to create a "white color". When the phone displays a black pixel, it is basically combining all RGB subpixels to block out the backlight. Thats why LCD display's blacks are not really black but instead really really really dark gray. The fact the OS uses more white might actually end up saving battery but im willing to bet the difference is negligible.
 
Clean installed iOS 7 then immediately did the ota. Beta 2 is much more stable then beta 1 I am not having battery drain issues at all. The os is much more fluid and quick. I turned off the parallels setting and it seemed to stabilize my phone. Those with lag or respring issues try turning this off and rebooting. It may help you it definitely helped me .
 
I just restored back to 6.1.4 because I think that iOS 7 beta 2 is more buggy than beta one. Also, I don't know what I did, but my phone is faster now than it was on iOS 6 before.
 
So, I installed Twitter on my iPhone 5 after doing a fresh install of iOS 7 beta 2 and my twitter notifications will not show up... Like, I am not getting any push notifications from Twitter... HELP!

And the more buggy parts are exactly what?
 
I have some questions for those that are using iOS 7 on both the iPhone and iPad. I love the photo app for the iOS 6 because of the places section where if I tap it, it'll show a map with red pinpoints showing my geotagged photos. One of my biggest complains of iPhoto for iOS is that it doesn't show all of my geotagged images in a map, but rather shows one geotagged photo at a time. Does anyone here know if Photos for iOS 7 still does that? I heard it received a massive overhaul and I'm afraid Apple may have removed this feature.
 
Just loving the iOS more and more now. Since release of beta 2 and hours of testing and usage I can say awesome battery life.
 
Status bar overlay and seek bar is out of place. If someone could report it, that would be great.

Has anyone noticed that if you're listening to music and go to unlock the phone it won't tell you the time.You're only allowed to access the music controls.

Also, I've been experiencing wallpaper problems. The wallpaper turns black at times while the portion behind the dock remains the color of the wallpaper.
