iOS 7 Beta 3 Bug Fixes and Changes

[Parise]

I complained before, but am not sure if someone read something about this somewhere....

Does anyone know why the hell they removed the Post to Facebook or Post to Twitter buttons from the notification center? I used those religiously.

Reinstall it? I just downloaded it fresh from the appstore and the volume works fine.

Its odd! When i redownload it, it downloads the old version (0.6.4.2) (without the new logo) and then offers an update to 0.7.1! Strange.

Edit: The download from the App Store is an older version. An update will then become available - If you don't update, it will work fine.

Pass book is amazing now looks amazing looks alot different hopefully push notifications work now

looks the same as it did in beta 1 to me.

is it me or is the font different?

Safari loading bar is thicker now.

As for the overall font weight throughout the OS... I 100% dislike it. I really liked how sleek and stylish all of the menus and navigation looked. Now it looks like everything is in bold and it's just too big... Bah...

Same I wish they could've retained the thinner/smaller fonts, and made it a system wide change for bold/bigger text options for people who can't see the font as easily.

Waking up the iPad using a Smart Cover takes you directly to the home screen! No more slide to unlock!

I know it's a beta, but it freaks me out that we're in beta 3 and this stuff still doesn't work like it should. I can only hope they will put back in before the final release. iOS 7 should not remove features from previous versions, period!

I wouldn't worry too much. I think other people in this thread are right and we're going to 6-8 betas. Maybe they are doing some kind of an overhaul on it?

Not on iPhone 4S it hasn't.

It was a black background. You now see yourself and can move the phone around to manipulate the image since it's out the front camera.

I use FT everyday ... it wasn't there in beta 1 or 2.

Perhaps it's an addition to the 4s? I've had it since B1 on iPhone 5.

It's always done that......that was kind of a big feature of it.

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

If Apple had made a change to the volume API and that broke iOS's own music app volume controls I would agree with you but this change broke a 3rd party app that is not even updated to work with iOS 7. This is not classified as a bug in iOS 7. Better yet, if Pandora works fine that's further proof.

I like that the time is back on lock screen on the status bar when playing music, but I wish they can put back the option to double click home button for the big timer to come back on screen. I don't like having my music controls there permanently.

 

[Camperniki]

You can rate songs (1-5 Stars) in the music app by tapping the album artwork

After you do tap album art, double tap and it shows you everything on that album. That's kinda cool

I used the post to twitter function often.

In the clock app under Alarms, there are weird arrows(not sure what they're there for) over the on/off switches now.

I just put iOS 7.0 back on my 4S. I checked for an update, and it tells me I'm up to date. Does anyone know if you can't update from 7.0 to Beta 3?

Same I wish they could've retained the thinner/smaller fonts, and made it a system wide change for bold/bigger text options for people who can't see the font as easily.

My guess is Apple got enough feedback of people having problems reading the text or getting eye strain that they decided to change it.

Got this strange message after I did an OTA upgrade from Beta 2, then did a full wipe

I just put iOS 7.0 back on my 4S. I checked for an update, and it tells me I'm up to date. Does anyone know if that's because you can't update from 7.0 to 7.3?

There is no 7.3.....

Anyone know how Beta3 is performing on the Ipad Mini? I had installed Beta2 and promptly uninstalled it as it was running awful.

 

[Will2145]

why are the texts on the lockscreen so damn huge?

 

[nellyplatinum]

not sure if its just mine,but when i try to send a pic in imessage it takes me back to homescreen

Ahh, gotcha. Definitely an intelligent feature.

Anyone finding that you can no longer scroll down (at all) to see more information in the stock Weather app? iOS 7 b3 iPhone 5

Edit: Nevermind, must have been thinking of the Yahoo weather app.

 

[Camperniki]

For those who had problems with Beta 2 on the 4S, are you noticing any improvements? I'm hoping Beta 3 doesn't crash half as often as 2 does. Will download when I get home.

Seems MUCH better. 2 was awful on my 4S but 3 seems great so far.

I am happy to announce that the Podcasts app is finally working in Beta 3. I can now download podcasts and play them just like before.

What a great day!
