Downloaded and installed. It seems to be a single bug fix for iTunes in the Cloud which would download and play things unexpectedly. Seem we're very close to the GM version now.

Say what?!

Am I dreaming?!

Are you pulling my leg Keith?'

Haha.

Nope. OTA downloaded... it's pretty small...

Downloaded and installed. Don't see much of difference since it was such a small file. The unlock sound still gone.

The issue of PDFs of my local paper's e-edition persists... and is broke on Opera browser where it wasn't before...

Might be too early to tell but battery life seems dramatically improved for me. I've been using my phone solidly for 45 minutes and it's still on 100%

Will test whether that iPad 2 smartcover bug has been fixed yet.

Beta 5 seemed to introduce a bunch of problems, so maybe this will fix some of them?

Battery life seems much better

So the configuration profile link is in dev center but how do you get that installed onto the device?

Totally just locked my phone up doing a reset all settings. non responsive on swips and lock unlock.

Hi I'm unable to install the reset music library config. Any ideas why. I get an invalid profile message on my mac - wonder what i'm doing wrong.

​Im trying it as well but the instructions in dev center are lousy. Something they are missing there.

And... waking an iPad 2 with a smart cover still crashes it.

​Its the the exact same build number. Just instead of ending in a it ends with d. This build wasn't to address any other bugs except the iTunes in the cloud issue.

So.

Beta 7 on Monday?

Figured how to install the "Configuration Profile" for beta 6. Download it from dev center and then email it to yourself. Then install it from the link in the email. If you don't install this, beta 6 is exactly the same as beta 5.

Oh....yeah - worked like a charm !!!!
