Surprise!! Saw it via Twitter... and quickly made this beta5 thread...

PS: If you're running the beta on AppleTV... there's a beta available for that too

It seems Apple took just one week for Beta 5, taking into account that Beta 4 was delayed one week. That keeps the 2 weeks schedule, curiosly it comes on tuesday not monday. If BGR prediction is right we'll see one more beta before GM by first september week (2 - 8).

I still have the issue where, when I highlight a word, and click define, it won't define. Now I don't even see an option to download the dictionary. I see "manage". But when I try to click on the dictionary, nothing happens.

Edit, I was able to fix it after beta 5. I went to general, international, changes it to Espanol, then when the phone rebooted in Spanish, then I clicked a word to define, chose the Spanish word for downloading the dictionary, and I downloaded the Apple dictionary, plus 2 other English dictionaries. Then I went back to general, international, and then English, it rebooted, now it works even better than before because I have more than one definition that pops up.

This is great I was worried I wouldn't get the beta if it came out after I left on vacation. Well time to turn paralax back on and check if any of my other bugs have been fixed. This is so exciting

Boy , its quick to install today since no one is expecting it and flooding their servers lol

Can non-developers on beta 4 update OTA? Thanks in advance.

 

[Joker022]

Couple of cosmetic changes to the Settings icons and such. Another thing I noticed was when notification pop up now there is a little pull down tab there. I'll report any new things I find.

Sometimes with these issues, a full restore is needed to clean things up. I won't do a full restore until the GM.

Has the "tap to tweet" gone forever?

 

[FFR]

Parallax is much smoother.

 

[NickVidamour]

Signal bars showing incorrectly is still there by looks of it. As someone pointed out a full restore might clear some bugs but not doing it till the GM

Sure seems like it. I think at this point the feature set is complete and now it's just a matter of fine tuning everything.
