Apple Releases iOS 7.1 Beta 5 to Developers With Siri Language Improvements

[seble]

Am I the only one perplexed by Apples really novice experimentation with interface design!? Design suggestions for inactive/active shift is just stupid. As is many other design elements or lack of design elements. There is ONE easy solution to this shift-design-frenzy. Make the button pushed (that is engraved) when active and elevated when not active. THEN - users will not make a mistake. Now I have to think every time I use shift!? Ive - get your head out of your ass!

Agreed, it just screams apple doesnt know what theyre doing. I disagree that it should be elevated etc thats still not clear enough, highlight the button blue when in shift highlight the whole shift key blue when in caps!

I'm really hoping iOS 7.1 fixes the randomly rebooting with the apple logo showing up.

As mentioned many times before, this has already been fixed.

It's been fixed on previous updates or will be fixed with 7.1?

WHY does it take so many updates to get the button / keyboard layout right? If I didn't know better I might have thought they just quickly released iOS7. Like all software today. The users really are the testers now.

 

[petvas]

7.1 will fix it. I am running it since the first beta and I can confirm (and amp any other developers in the dev forum) that the crashes are history. But yes, for most people who don't have 7.1 the issues are still there..

Mine still resprings in Beta 5 so it's not fixed

AirDrop started to work again on 7.1beta 5. Anyone else?

I so badly want 7.1 to be released to the public already, the 7.0 bugs aren't terrible on my iPhone 5 but 7.0 on the iPad Air is really a mess



why didn't they expand the folders on iPad? 3x3 on a iPad screen is a joke, especially when the previous iOS folders were larger

Are you serious? Did you do anything special?

 

[Antoni Nygaard]

AirDrop works fine for me between iPhone 5 and iPad Air

 

[Aetles]

Why can't they just make it that all the letters on the keybaord are lower case and when you click on the shift key they all show capitalized?

My guess is that this was tested and rejected even before the first iPhone shipped in 2007. I think this is one of those things that seems like a good idea but in practice is worse for the user.

Anyone else think that animations seemed to have slowed down on Beta 5? (iPad Mini Retina).

 

[Lyons00]

Just rebooted and it started working again.

Are you using the same Apple ID on both devices?

Interesting...wondering if it matters what combo you have that decides if it works or not. I have a ATT iphone 5S and ATT iPad Air and I couldn't get the 2 to communicate at all. I immediately rolled back to Beta 4 because this is feature I use frequently. The underlining and color of the shift key (aesthetics) is at the bottom of my list compared to broken features/functionalities that' has become part of my daily workflow.

Hopefully someone with the same I device combo can confirm if Airdrop is indeed working or not.

I am!

 

[petvas]

I am!

It doesn't work for me.


Update: It just started working again. Strange.

 

[Antoni Nygaard]

Yeah, I Am

I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5s restarted both and AirDrop still does not work between the devices. This did happen with a previous update and it took restoring the devices as new instead of just updating or restoring from backup to get running again. Not tried a fresh install yet as I'm waiting for 7.1 GM before I scrap the info from both devices.

I disabled and re enabled Airdrop and it works now.

Workaround doesn't seem to work for me.

Airdrop working here right off the bat after a clean install.

Ok makes sense.

Specifically what devices do own?

Thanks

I tested with an iPad Air and an iPhone 5S, both running 7.1 beta 5.
