iOS7 - Features/Screenshots

[withoutabix]

I couldn't get AirDrop to work. Despite being around 6 other iPhone 5's!

Haha it only shows my GF's phone as available when both of ours was set to share with everyone

 

[Rich-D]

Few new things I've noticed

- New ability to create your own vibration pattern for ringtones etc (not sure this was in IOS6 tho)

Not new, my 4S has that on iOS6

Surely Airdrop will only work with iOS 7 devices?

 

[Tom]

Of course it does.

Can people who struggle to work out the difference between air and water using the beta please stop posting UTTER BOLL"KS.

Thats twice i've been annoyed. The first time you got a "LOL"....

Of course roy, both me and the GF are on IOS7 was just one of the little bugs that I noticed..

Of course it does.

If your getting annoyed why read the thread? its a thread about an ISO7 Beta surley the whole point of this thread is to discuss faults and bugs etc Some of which I've noticed and posted above..

thats if you were referring to my posts annoying you!

Did you just write IOS just to annoy Tom?

My battery is dying and overheating (with no difference in use).

I've had to charge it 3 times in 2 days, it's dropped 14% in 38mins (half brightness/general surfing).

But I won't discuss bugs here.

Got a weird airdrop bug.
My bro sent me 6 pictures as a collection and they are there on my lock screen but I can't see them anywhere else.
Whilst typing this I have noticed another bug the screen doesn't scroll to the right as you type that way.
Otherwise am happy with the change. Like a new phone!

Edit: airdrop worked but only one at a time. And now I can't get rid of the other ones

I've gone back to 6 for the time being. Got to say, 7 really does feel so much slicker than 6 when you revert back. However (as you would expect...) it's just not reliable enough for me to use regularly yet.

Still, looking forward to seeing it all finished and polished in the Autumn. Hopefully updating then won't screw up my backup like installing the beta did.

You misread the thread title mate, it says Features and Screenshots, not haters.

 

[jam.]

I used to think those videos were funny, now I feel like I'm just watching somebody with mental issues and laughing at them.

I actually quite like it

I've not had a hands on play with iOS7 yet; I'll probably just wait till its released - however, it's amazing (and genius) how dated my iPhone 5 and iPad feels now.

Anyone else managing to update their apps on 3G?

 

[Munson]

I've noticed that the music app doesn't seem to want to download purchases made on other devices. Nothing that a cable and iTunes won't fix.

Also, is Reminders a bit broken for anyone else?

 

[Reev]

Lots of things were broken for me. Being a beta this is obviously expected, but I've gone back to iOS 6 for the time being. I'm very impressed with iOS 7 though.

How's everyone else's battery?

I took mine off charge this morning, and have 1% left with less than 1hr usage and 16hrs standby. Either it's the iOS or the replacement phone I got last week. Bummer.

 

[Gavin.]

It's the OS, that's why I went back to iOS 6.

 

[Reev]

Yeah, it's the beta. I was lucky to get 12 hours out of mine.

 

[Munson]

Battery life seems largely the same for me.

 

[Reev]

Mine was largely dependant on what apps I was using. Browsing on Safari seemed to be pretty good, but spending an hour or so reading the news on the Guardian app would bring my battery down c. 30%.

Maybe he's trying to configure his Cisco router instead.

 

[Krispwee]

Was the beta for me, went back to iOS 6 for the stability (although it was nice to give 7 a try and it looks really promising) and my battery is at 75% where as yesterday it would have been around 10%

 

[jam.]

Utter mongs...

 

[Gavin.]

Lol, what a t**t!

 

[Munson]

Bullet required.

Reverted back to iOS 6 on Thursday.

Battery back to normal.

 

[Munson]

You guys with battery problems, did you set it up as a new phone? I can't see that it would matter, but I am genuinely not having any battery issues. Perhaps there are some app incompatibility issues causing high CPU usage?

 

[Millsy]

I set mine up as a new phone and the battery is far better than it was in ios 6 where I'd restored from a back up!

 

[Gavin.]

I did setup as a new phone and still had issues. As Roy said, maybe app incompatibility.

 

[ekaJ]

My iMessage isn't working, pretty sure it was yesterday.

 

[Scott™]

IOS7 is killing my battery.

 

[Strell]

My iMessage isn't working, pretty sure it was yesterday.

Did you have issues with autocorrect?
​I turned mine on and off and that seemed to sort it

 

[C.J]

I set mine up properly, in fact I did it twice.

iOS 6 feels dated going back to it now, but I couldn't cope with the poor battery, plus I go away next week for 6 days, and didn't want to risk being away from home with a beta.

Might try again after the next update.

 

[paddymph]

Really struggling with my Battery too. Bought a cheap eBay car charger that almost set my car on fire...

Anyway. Something else I've discovered is that apple maps now automatically detects night mode. Just used the maps sat nav to get hope and it changes to a pleasant dark grey and blue at night

 

[Ronnie R]

I take it you cannot get the beta unless you're a developer?

Or does anyone have a link?

Download the ispw file from somewhere and press Shift + Update and select the file in iTunes.

 

[Adam]

Beta 2 now out.

 

[ekaJ]

Who reckons an over the air update will mess it up for those with non developer accounts?
