guessing just one more beta until GM

Of course not! (but it could be 3 weeks to the next) 😉

eBay was able to fix theirs with an update.

Kik also fixed their app.

It was likely that they found out what went wrong and fixed it without using the new iOS 7 APIs.

Navigon works again for me.

Please don't use the B-word when discussing betas.

Read the entire comment.

Comparing it to Beta 2.

I was also told not to criticize Apple Maps too harshly when it was in "Beta". Look what happened there.

As a software engineer myself, regardless of the beta stage, things usually get better. Not worse.

I will say tho, EVERYTHING else seems much snappier.

updating from beta 1 to beta 2 OTA gave me issues so I installed Beta 2 fresh.
updating from beta 2 to beta 3 OTA is giving me issues.

I can almost 100% guarantee if I download Beta 3 IPSW and install it fresh all the issues I'm having now will go away.

Did going to beta 2 fresh make a difference?

In Messages, I believe dates mentioned used to be underlined, and now the type changes color...

Kik also fixed their app.

Thought that was fixed in Beta 2?

Correct. It's been changed.

Just installed Beta 3 on my 4S, and WOW, this thing is much faster and the animations are a lot smoother (and quicker). Safari is much quicker at closing tabs etc.

Love the new downloading/installing app animation. Even works on folders. Really cool.

Someone please tell me theres a way to fix spotify!!

 

[Camperniki]

Can beta 3 be installed without a UDID like in beta 1 and beta 2?

yes

Beta 3 looks really nice and compared to beta 1 (the last I used, b2 was unusable because I couldn't even restore backup). I had generally gone immediately down to 6.1.4 but the new additions and bug fixes really help me keep ios 7.

There are some weird bugs in Photo app, spotify not working well (but that's an easy fix for the devs), and settings crashing sometimes, but overall it feels a lot more stable and actually usable.

In the camera app, the most recent picture in the bottom left now shows in a cool blue color effect!

I don't see this. Would you mind posting a screen shot?

 

[Camperniki]

When I update apps I do not get that icon on the app updating ? Any suggestions

I was getting that too. I think right now it's just for when you download a new app. I got that new animation when I downloaded something new

 

[sunsetblow]

Wow it's so much....... snappier! 😉

And the dots! THE BEAUTIFUL DOTS ARE BACK! I love iCal now....

There is, email them and ask politely for a fix in the App Store soon.

Or y'know, like 3 and possibly 4.

 

[Dreamer2go]

Went through your steps..works fine for me.

I can't reproduce it right now
I'll see what I did and report it again

when charging phone, the lightning bolt no longer flashes. Hopefully a bug.

 

[WordMasterRice]

That's not an iOS Bug. Spotify isn't updated to work with iOS 7 yet.

It likely is an iOS bug, they probably just broke the volume API a bit with a change.

 

[WeegieMac]

When you open the FaceTime app, you now see yourself "behind" the list of contacts, but blurred like when you flip up Control Center.

Needs a bit more work IMO too. I'd rather Apple not rush it.

 

[applelover1016]

Just a quick ? Overall is iOS 7 beta 3 faster or smoother than before still waiting to download it but I'm just curious thx for your answers guys

Weird too, it works perfectly fine on my phone.
