iOS7 - Features/Screenshots

[Danny133]

Suprised to see this so quick but welcome the cool little changes

 

[mharvey]

Hope it'll sort the battery life. Fully aware it's Beta but I think it's down to location services thing always being active since BEta 4 and as a result it lasted 4 hours yesterday, I sent 1 email, 2 sms and made a phone call for circa 6 mins

 

[Rasclart]

Mine has been Epic on battery to be honest. Took it off charge this morning at 07:40 and still have 69% battery. I do however turn off Mail Fetch.

 

[paddymph]

All is well my end. Battery is great. It's not crashing, can't see any glitches at all so far except eBay app won't scroll trough pictures.

Brilliant. I think they've done a great job to be honest. I'd like a few more dynamic wallpapers though.

Is there any way a non developer can get it without plugging into itunes?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

I currently have beta 3 installed but beta 4 has downloaded through over the air can I install it through the phone or do I have to get a ipsw of beta 4 or 5 and do it manually through iTunes ?

 

[Tom]

OTA.

Yes. Wait.

 

[paddymph]

Tom.... Always the deliverer of accurate, non exciting news! Haha

 

[Pearcy]

Yes. Wait.

So if i wait for it to be officially released, i can get it? Awesome! Thanks Tom!

Lol what did you expect ,a magic button?

Anyway...
iPad 3 is running much better especially Safari which they fucked up in beta 4! Starting to shape up nicely for the final release

PM Jordi17. He can link you up.

 

[Simon_16v]

You can install it through iTunes without being a developer anyway?

 

[Eliganza]

General release must be soon now surely?

 

[Tom]

General release must be soon now surely?

It's at least a month away

 

[DrR]

Just downloading this now, beta 3 version as anything above that I can only find in .dmg file not .IPSW, can I then over the air update through the phone to beta 5?

 

[paddymph]

Yea think so

 

[DrR]

Ok, ininitial thoughts are I like it, but where is the photos location map gone and the weather on the drop down menu?

 

[jam.]

It's at least a month away

I thought they said it would release in August back when they initially showed it off. Maybe not then.

 

[DrR]

Barclays mobile app not working?

Photo location maps are still there, i'll let you discover how.

Weather is shown in text in the dropdown.

Barclays mobile app not working?

You tried reseting/reinstalling the app?

 

[DrR]

Before reinstalling it kept saying my passcode was wrong, and tried reinstalling and now says unable to register my account.

I appreciate this is a beta and some things might not work yet.

Barclays app doesn't work for me or the mrs either.

If you look at the bottom of the screen on the photos app you'll see 'photos', then at the top press 'collections'. For each 'collection' it'll give you a breakdown of locations and if you tap on that it'll bring the map up. You can go a step further and press 'years' which will show you your entire photo collection but split into years.

Weather has now been summarised in the drop down menu rather than an image.

works fine on mine dude

 

[dajones]

Just updated the mini iPad to beta 5. Liking the look. All my apps stayed installed as well. Managed to do it without a dev account.

 

[DrR]

Didn't need to wait till 5% charged till my iPad switched on!!! Is this a fluke or new thing?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

No not a fluke it's a new thing and tbh it makes life so much easier

 

[DrR]

Got beta 6 today, anyone notice any improvements?

 

[paddymph]

Can't see any differences yet. Not sure about this new tapatalk tho...?

 

[Munson]

Hopefully it'll unbrick Safari lol.

 

[DrR]

My iPad used to freeze if I "pinched" the screen to return to home.

 

[RoryW]

Can't see any differences yet. Not sure about this new tapatalk tho...?

Its a bag of arse! That's what it is

 

[Reev]

The battery on beta 6 is horrendous in comparison to previous betas.

 

[Munson]

Battery is the same for me. Ergo good. Also Safari is unbricked.

All seems gravy to me now. Can't be more than a few tweaks away from production.

 

[Pistachio]

Have they changed the ear piercing sound when you plug in the charger?

 

[Bux]

​
I've just gone from 6.1.3 to Beta 6 and i've not noticed any change in battery. My phone has been off charge since 6am today, has had a lot of usage all day and is now on 21%...

 

[Reev]

Seems to me that my battery life is slightly odd. Today I've had 5 hours use and 13 hours standby and I'm currently on 20%, which I'm more than happy with. Yesterday the phone was completely dead by 4PM with no real noticeable difference in how I used it.

On the whole I'm very happy with iOS 7 though.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

my battery life is all over, it will sit a 1% for hours on end and when i plug the wire into the phone and leave the usb end free (Not Plugged Into Anything) the percentage will jump to 20-30%

 

[Pearcy]

I noticed this a while ago on my ios6 4s, sorted itself now so don't think its a ios7 issue.
