Apple Releases iOS 7.1 With CarPlay, Touch ID Improvements, Visual Tweaks

[Dirtysand]

No still can't add a song to a play list. Epic fail.

Seek bar lock screen seems good.

Why isn't someone shouting their heads off at apple hq?

This is the trouble when everyone gets along.

Ok, crap. I'm going to start really bugging them through the dev bug reporting site.

My background is lighter, and my text is black.(although the time/date text is still white.) I liked it better the way it was before.

Go Settings/general/accessibility/increase contrast and turn off "Reduce Transparency"

Is your Settings > Show All Music off ?

If it's off, then only downloaded music will be shown. Happened to me too.

Nah its on. Switched off. Back on. Force closed app. Nothing. Damn bug I guess

 

[Philsy]

Switched to female, which is thankfully now available.

Tried that but it's sounds more robotic.

But less worse than having a boy speak to you in public.

Deselect the "new view" and touch on any date. The old list appears again

If you select a day, the list-view button changes from a box with lines below it to just lines. Tapping that gives you a true list view of all appts (that spans all days).

Thanks! It's hidden. It would be nice if it were more prominent.

I must have missed that option. Where was it an option? I am not doubting you, just curious where it was.

Sorry my fault, I didn't mean there used to be an option in the menus. There was a way to either add it as a circled picture or a full screen picture, depending on how you add it to the contact.

Fair point

They didn't update the green in Numbers...having it next to the FaceTime icon makes the contrast VERY annoying.

Since Numbers is an App store app and not part of the OS, you'll have to wait for the app to be updated.

Ok, how's the music player. Has it changed? Can you add a song to a playlist?
When playing music, is the seek bar in the lock screen more responsive?

They finally fixed the Album Art bug in playlists, and updated the UI a bit for the shuffle/repeat buttons. You've always been able to add a song to a playlist. Yes, the seek bar seems to be more responsive.

Nonsense. I just added a few songs to my playlist on my 5s. What are you talking about ?!

Unimpressed though I'm appreciative of the bug fixes. Installed on an iPad Air, 2 Mini Retinas, 5S and 5C without a hitch.


Issues I see:
- No cellular data toggle in control center for iPad still. I only use cellular when wifi is unavailable.

Isn't that toggle unnecessary? That's the default behavior of cellular vs wifi, and there's a toggle for wifi to control it from that side.

I don't think they use iPhones. They can't. Atleast you knew Steve jobs was using iPhone. It showed in the way it worked and functioned. This ios 7 is like using a plane to sail the ocean. It's just all wrong.

 

[viacavour]

I doubt it. Given that you also can't add songs to a playlist, I suspect your phone settings and/or databases may be corrupted. Might want to backup and reinstall.

How is iOS 7 wrong?

I am getting 30 hours usage now! Thanks Apple, you are the best!

Yeah, I thought the same when I read his post.

Mine doesn't. I play a song. Can't add it to a play list. Where's the add to play list button?

Crossing my fingers 7.1 fixes issues with bluetooth in the car. With iOS 6 it was great, I could stream audio thru my phone via bluetooth to my car's audio.

Using iOS 7 it's horrible. I've run into the following issues:
1. Bluetooth connection to the car keeps on connecting/disconnecting
2. Lots of interference with the audio quality that you can't even listen to it
3. Sometimes audio just fails to play

Since iOS 7 I've resorted to an aux cable while in iOS 6 bluetooth audio streaming was awesome.

I've definitely experienced 1 and 3 above in ios7. Number one would happen to me, perhaps, a couple of times per hour. I too hope this fixes it. Please report your findings, as will I.

Reduce transparency was off. I was talking about the lock screen, not folders.

Just so many use things that aren't there. Things I've said in the topic here and other times else where.

 

[kwokaaron]

Whats with the graphical glitches in the usage settings? 1st image shows up when I click on the usage screen. 2nd image shows when I switch to another app and activate the multitask screen again....

 

[chumps52]

Any differences to the last beta?


Sorry if this has already been discussed; didn't fancy searching through 29 pages

OK, seriously, I can't think of any reason to have done away with the full screen caller ID pic. It's baffling. Pure and simple.

Edit: Feedback sent to Apple. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

And those were opinions, mostly about aesthetics.

I was thinking you had, you know, an objective reason.

You have to go to the playlist, press "edit," the +, and then choose the song. Might not be the way you want to be able to do it, but the option is there.
