So, I installed the all new iOS7 in the Beta 5 version on my iPhone4S. Everything works fine, looks great too. Siri can now recognize other apps as well.

I'm only having difficulties with the find my iPhone app. It will start up, show on the screen for like 2 seconds and then turns itself off. Anybody else experiencing this?

I don't do many betas anymore. I'll wait for the real release.

I did play with an acquaintance's iphone with the new iOS installed... It was really cool and I'm looking forward to the upgrade when it comes out.

Did you install the Find iPhone Beta that came out back in June?  It has worked with all iOS 7 Betas.



You might try deleting the app from the phone, do a hard reset on the phone (power & home button reset) and reinstall the app.

You're actually quite mistaken. If you've been following the development of iOS and more importantly jailbroken iOS features through the years, compared to Android features, it actually goes like this most of the time:

iOS lacks a feature. Programmers make the feature for jailbroken iPhones. Android follows suit. Apple then copies what is perceived as an Android feature, which in reality is simply copying what jailbroken programmers originally did on the iPhone first.

Every single feature I've seen lacking on iPhone, or Android, I've first seen available in the Cydia or the old Rock app store on a jailbroken iPhone (or whatever other app store(s)/repositories people use on jailbroken iPhones).

I hope they don't take the android's grammar check.

I have the find iPhone app that came with the 4S back then. I deleted it from the phone, did the reset and installed it again. It did copy it from my saved apps on iCloud, so it does the same thing as before. Comes on, locates for 2 seconds then exits the app.

Not sure how I can delete the app from iCloud to get a more current one...

When you reinstall it gives you the latest one available on the app store.  Just for fun I deleted my beta version and installed the app store version, which is 2.0.2 (2A128) to try (iPhone 5) and it dumped just like yours. The developer web site it says that version 2.0.3 (the Beta available only from the developer site) is required for iOS 7.


Release Notes
for Find My iPhone App 2.0.3 for iOS 7 beta











Find My iPhone App 2.0.3 adds support for new
security features in iOS 7. To use the Find My iPhone app on iOS 7, Find My
iPhone App 2.0.3 is required.

Over The Air update.  If I remember correctly, the OTA updates for the OS started with iOS 5.
