WWDC 2013 announced for June 10-14

DubDJ

I find it slow when clicking on apps, opening them takes longer than before. Adverts app crashes, phone feels immediately hotter at the back, phone just rebooted itself while I was testing Siri (but just a quick one, basically crashing back to the lock screen).

Otherwise iOS 7 is fine. I'm not sure if the slower loading of apps after they're clicked is part of the new animation or not, either way so far so good.

Anyone else notice the time an hour behind. Mine was on auto and ended up wrong

3G seems a lot faster as well. I'm in maynooth today and don't remember ever getting speeds like this.

Can't upload the image but got 13mbps down and 2.85 up

Same data speeds. After updating, I cancelled down background apps and did a soft reset. Clock here perfect time. Wonder if its a daylight savings issue

I like all the new features but I have decided I really hate the look.

The pastel, neon rainbow puke everywhere.

The new icons.

The white everywhere.

The font, so thin and hard to read. Especially in the sun light.

I noticed a lot of the initial issues went away after a reboot and restore of most recent backup. This also fixed the toaster mode that the phone had switched into.

Definitely feels faster than before.

Lol what's the toaster mode?

Temperature of the phone rises exponentially the more you use it necessitating flame retardant pockets and/or carbon-fibre multi-layered boxer shorts.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. As much as I'm looking forward to iOS 7 in the back of my mind i have the feeling that some of the visuals won's sit right with me.

Mine is a 16gb bill pay 5 on o2 and held down tab and update untuned to select the upgrade file. There are a few different files ie 4. 4s 5 as far as I know. I used the link posted by guil.

DubDJ

As a rule of thumb for people updating always restart the phone after the update. I always do it and it seems to clear up a lot of small problems. E.g. In the past I updated, and even with iOS 7, and I had problems with location services. They were on but wouldn't find my location on certain apps. Restarted fixed it last time and this time.

I've no dev account and my device isn't registered. Worked a treat for me. The phone isn't running as hot as before, it was only really right after the update. Battery life seems unaffected. Unplugged the phone at 97%. Messed around with it a little, and right now it's on 94%. That was pretty much the same as before, if not better, so that's one positive.

Brave souls... for some reason i have downloaded the file but probably won't upgrade at this point seeing as my i5 is a work phone.

Initially I was wowed by the keynote. Now that I'm looking at it. I just can't stomach it. It so god damned girly.

Saying that, even my wife hates the look of it.

I still like it, and there are genuine improvements throughout all the operating system - even stuff they didn't mention. ( Videos shows all purchases, as does music - on the iPhone or cloud - and videos stream).

However I think that there are some issues with the design. Its mostly good, but too much text, and not enough definition. They also have surprisingly squashed the scroll bar alphanumeric list too close - hopefully that gets changed.

Its clear that they believe that text is more useful than images these days.

Its a bit choppy on a 4S. Mostly very good, and not very buggy at all


Mail seems to store far more stuff on the phone too. Better for searching.

the big question i have about ios7 is...


can we pick our own ringtones yet?

I'm in two minds about it too. Am downloading just to have, but in the back of my mind I know I'm gonna dive in and do it.

Duggys Housemate

its really not very buggy, not that I have made a call yet :-)

Same. Was using it a bit this morning. The 'newness' has worn off very quickly and it just looks cheap and a bit lame.

I wonder how long before they change i OS7?!

Think I'll go ahead an buy a non-iphone for the time being.

Point to note: Google music worked for me using the app, but not in the browser and you control it from the new control panel which is cool.

Zapp Brannigan

Gonna take the plunge.

If it messes up the phone I can just knock it into DFU and restore to iOS6. Nothing lost.

Yeah I've started looking at the lumia 925. I wonder when it's being released?

DubDJ

For the people contemplating the update... I've an iPhone 5 and it's really not that buggy at all. Major problems I'm having is one app is crashing (Adverts) and some of the apps take longer to launch when you click them (but that could be due to the new 'fade' animation).

Overall I like the newness of the whole thing. One major gripe is with some of the new icons. They need to have a darker tone or something, they're a bit too colourful. That seems to be the general concencous on the Internet.

squonk

How do missed calls appear now? Do you still get the missed call notification on the lock screen or have they gone all Android and do you now have to pull down the notification center to see what calls you've missed?

Any impact on battery life?

I'm on the 4s and iOS 6.1.3 has been terrible for the battery.

Battery life isn't bad compared to previous early Betas. Down to 80% battery remaining since 7am and that's with a few phone calls and some browsing.

Zapp Brannigan

Upgrade went fine. Reactivated iMEssage and Facetime no bother.

I really like it so far. Love how you dont have to press the back arrow anymore, just swipe from the left.

The new app opening animation is a little too long but multitask switching is super quick.

Feels like I have a new phone!

EDIT: Interesting, Facetime is it's own seperate app now.

shanec1928

installed at last after me messing it up. seems to be working grand now on 4s no complaints of bugs. looking forward to messing around with it.

just convert any mp3 file to a m4r ringtone file. plenty of youtube tutorials on how to do it. you can only use 30 secs for a ringtone though.

You might get a more specific answer in the Windows Devices/O2/Vodafone/Meteor/Three/Tesco Mobile forums.

So a few apps that are a little buggy.

Adverts - crashes and is unusable
Facebook - side bar got a little bunched up with friends and events overlapping.
Google+ - issues with the top bar being blocked by the iPhone status bar
Instagram - few problems with scrolling though photos, flashing blank and jumping up the page

Notification centre is a little buggy, tried deleting notifications and they reappeared as if I only got them and had to delete a second time.
First phonecall and after answering it took longer for the Speaker, Mute etc. buttons to appear.

The only reoccurring bug was the Adverts app crashing. Otherwise the issues were just every now and then. Seems like one of the most solid betas compared to past ones.

guil

Photobucket app is crashing as well if you try upload

Piliger

...so a developer prelease is buggy ... what has that to do with anything ? :rolleyes:

YOu were going to do that anyway.

Its a real stable beta, and I am finding it great so far. UI is a bit flat, there are some stutters, but its generally really good.

Maybe, but there's nothing here to dissuade me from doing otherwise.

Reverted to iOS6 in the meantime.

Been playing with it the last couple of hours on my 5.
It is very buggy, but that's to be expected.
Facebook doesn't "load in" in right.
iMessage is activated but my gf isn't getting messages from me even though my phone is saying they're delivered.
I think my data speeds are very laggy (could that be blamed on ios7?)
My location services seem a little off.

Overall I think I like it. Or more so I will like it when it's a bit closer to being ready.
I'd say I'll keep it for a day or so to show off to a few mates and then I'll more than likely roll it back to ios6.

Is it just a case of putting the phone in DFU and restoring it from my most recent backup?

That should work, right enough.

I think it is running a bit hotter than normal. Otherwise I see no bugs which would stop me running iOS 7.

Ive downloaded it from Mega. What do I need to do now to actually upgrade the ios?

Were you asked for a code on Mega in order to download?

Connect your phone to iTunes and hold shift before pressing update... A window will open, direct it to your downloaded file and open... The update will start then.

dazedandlost wrote: »

I didn't have to anyway. Just started up straight away. Took an hour for the 1.11gig file though.

Nope, no code. This is the file Im downloading from Mega:

TBi

Downloaded from Mega but can't 'activate'. From the way people were talking i assumed they just installed it without being a developer. Am i doing something wrong? Is the activation server overwhelmed?

Are you trying to restore using the file or update?
It seems you have to update for it to work, not restore.
