iOS 7 Beta 5 Bug Fixes and Changes

[powerocool]

Anyone noticed that Safari is using website colors to render default bookmark icons:

Amazon is yellow, mixpanel is purple, google is blue etc.

My iPad mini has horrible keyboard lag on some websites. On MR it's smooth though

TL;DR. In the stock mail app, now the Trash button is on the right side in Beta 5 at the bottom. I hafta re-learn how to trash my emails?

Smart, but why aren't the proper icons loaded once you visit them?

Lock screen music control functionality tweaked -- will not slide anymore when trying to access other controls (play/pause etc)

Yes!!

Some website do not provide the HD site icons. They used to be very ugly in previous betas.

i have an iPhone 5 with b5 just installed.

I have just switched it off and back on and it took about 3 minutes for the phone to boot up. just stayed on the Apple boot logo for 3 minutes the eventually fired up.

Can someone else switch the phone off and back on to see if it is just mine.

If so I will do a full clean install.

Thank you 🙂

The exact same thing occurs for me. It boots up all fine but just takes about 3 minutes to do so.
Happens both on my iPhone 5 and iPad 3.

in iMessage, I seem to have reverted back to the thinner font.

Yes, I noticed font looks different!

The Activation Lock option seems to be gone in B5?!

View all photos from a messaging thread...is this new? (When viewing a MMS image, select the 3 lines on the bottom right corner)

Not new. Been there since at least b4

With this beta, it seems that both Podcast and Downcast apps stop playing randomly in the background when you open or close apps.

Late to the party because I was out all afternoon. I didn't see this coming but I'm pleasantly surprised! 😀

Messages only shows first name with no last name initial now? It's a good thing I don't know 2 people with the same first name!!!!!!!!!1!!

You can turn that off by going to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendar; Short names and turn that off. Then you will see the entire name.

Any major issues so far? (missing calls?)

Overall VERY responsive so far, feels close to release quality on my iPhone 5. Also on the iPhone 4 it's very well usable right now.

And as a minor improvement, my long carrier name no longer runs into the "pull-down-bar" on the lockscreen (Beta 4 is the blueish one).

Does that change when you plug in? I know the text moves over to make room for the lightning bolt.

I'm not getting this error with Downcast. I only trying this with downloaded podcasts however.

4S with live filters

I thought that the 4S was only supposed to get filters in the photo app for pictures already taken? In beta 5, it appears as though you can do live filters. That's cool if it stays...

damnit I was really excited for twitter but didn't realize my phone had updated to the new app already this morning before even installing B5.

🙁🙁

 

[batting1000]

Siri is still telling me there are no new messages when I ask her to read my last text even though I have an unread text.

 

[apollo1444]

wow twitter works now on beta 5!

*updates app*

AAAAAAAND IT'S GONE

 

[Camperniki]

Anybody else have the 1 in the corner of the Settings app? I updated on my iPad mini but the 1 is still there. Any suggestions?

 

[The Flying Kite]

Is this new? I haven't seen it in any other betas.

 

[willsoriano]

It appears that Panoramic photos don't do that cool swipe around thing on beta 5 anymore.

Does the Natwest app work now?
