iOS 7 beta on iPhone 5

I have been testing iOS7 beta on the iPhone 5 Model A1429. Here are a few things I haven’t been able to get them to work.

IOS7 now has a Blocked list setting. You will not receive phone calls, messages, or FaceTime from people on the block list (in theory). FYI, this feature is already available when you jailbreak your iPhone with apps like iBlacklist. I tested this feature with the iOS7 beta and here’s what I noticed

-          Messages didn’t come through from the block number.

-          Calls came through but no records of missed calls showed up in recent calls from that number. Most importantly, we don’t want any calls coming through.

-          There’s still no option for autoreply with custom text messages for your contacts.

The next thing I have come across that is an issue for me but not so much for others is the ability to accept the installation of a wireless certificate.

I was under the impression that iOS7 will greatly increase battery performance. Unless it was the combination of my downloading of multiple apps and using a LTE connection, the battery was draining faster than I’d imagine. Plus, the phone was getting way too hot for my liking. Hopefully, they will take care of this issue.

To get to the spotlight search page, swipe your home screen downwards.

To close your running apps, hit the home button twice, then swipe the page you intend to close upwards.

The weather app is still a static image while the clock is not.

Will continue the testing while hoping that iOS7 lives up to the hype.
