If you go to settings>privacy>location services and slide the weather to 'on' a text description of the weather appears in the notification centre.

ok, you pass. Thanks for that, next test coming soon. :pac:

It's not the most decorative feature bit it's functional I guess.

I installed yesterday evening for the craic but I found very quickly that iMessage wasn't working anymore so I went back to 6.1.4. for the time I had it, I found it very bright and not quite as readable as v6. It's a worthy update but they've a lot of work left to do on the interface to get it looking well.

Downloaded it last night.

Abolsutely loving it.

Mission control is by far the biggest improvement to my day-to-day iphone experience. Used to be an awful trek to get to turn on and off bluetooth.

I got iMessage working... not sure how but this is what i did. In clock settings turn off auto time zone, then switch off facetime and imessage, switch auto time zone back on again and switch facetime and imessage back on. Some user on another forum posted this as a possible fix.


Started working then. Going back to 6.1.4 anyway, i'll wait until it's more stable.

This has to be done on the PC I take it?

Updated there relatively easily even though I don't have a developer account. Could I run. Into any issues down the line? Not overly impressed so far. Seems a bit sluggish to be honest

No, simply log in on the device with your US iTunes ID.

Have had no problems with quitting apps and the only app I have so far found not to work is Jelly SMS.

When iOS 7 is released, you can easily update from the most recent beta unless it is the Golden Master.

Cool. So just avoid the GM and I can update without going back to IOS 6?

Well, GM IS the GM.

Battery usage is huge...Also...where is itunes Radio

Itunes Radio is only been rolled out in US for now.

Another question for people here, Im thinking of updating, What happens when apple stick out another beta,Does the phone be able to do update itself or do we have to manually do it ourselves?

Based on that,When the new ios is available system wide,Will the phone be able to automatically update to bug free IOS7 in "Fall"

Have it now, thanks. I think I had to kill the music app before switching to the US store.

Looks like I was able to get ios7 onto the phone but it told me that I couldnt activate the phone so had to restore to 6.1.4

One great new iOS 7 feature with notification centre is it's adapted a sort of Google Now experience. It will give you an estimate of an expected journey to or from work without you asking. Kind of thinking ahead, I also love the new text based weather, and the new nature of Notification Centre.

Also very thoughtful recommending a good sleep ahead of a busy day

Ah this makes sense now. In location services I noticed frequent locations. You van view and clear your history. Although I had nothing to view so I turned it off. I have most location services turned off.

Google now is brilliant. But scary. I wonder if Apple are going to put there spin on it and do what they do best with other people's ideas. Make it better.

This with Siri would be really a personal assistant. Next big thing for the new iPhone?

Can you turn off the added multitasking for most used apps? I assume not.

Decided it was too buggy for my iPhone 4. Or maybe I just have too many apps for it to run smoothly. I went back to IOS 6 easy enough but I had to restore as a new phone. There's probably a way to restore from an older backup, but I stopped using Time Machine a few months ago so didn't have one available. Still, most of my valuable stuff like contacts and calender is in icloud and it gave me a chance to clear out some apps. I'll install again when it comes out officially, but my current iPhone 4 should be my second phone by then and won't be as crammed with junk.

Im on my 4s on iOS 7 but eBay and adverts.ie keep crashing . Is it the same for everyone else ? Besides those 2 apps , I really like iOS 7 , everything else is running smoothly .

You need to upgrade to 7, you done a restore of 7 that's why it wouldn't activate.

Anyone also experiencing this issue in iOS7.

Podcasts to not appear in notification centre options. ie I cant remove the red circle when new podcasts are available.

Thanks a million folks. Got it updated and its class.

Did I just brick my iPhone??

I shift-Updated to ios7 and it installed ok. But when it restarts all I see is a white screen with the apple logo and "locked sim" at the top with the battery indicator?

iTunes won't let me restore from backup??

Put your phone into DFU mode. Then restore it. That's the only way to do it after you've updated AFAIK.

Enjoying it so far, calendar only shows day schedule. Clock icon an hour of sync.

Press the back button on the top left corner that brings you back to the month view of June. Try restarting your phone to fix the hour delay.

I'd be thinking twice about ever updating an iPhone 4 to ios7. From experience major iOS releases tend to be good for the current and previous version of the device but kill the performance of older devices.

I wish I could roll my ipad1 back to ios4. Ios5 killed its usability.
