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

[Tyler23]

Yeah all my apps are closed. I even deleted the google app before I restored the phone and it wouldn't go away. I'm restoring the phone but seems it installed iTunes version of 7.1 so maybe it will fix if not I can live with it I guess unles it doesn't effect battery

Any apps that constantly use your location (such as nike+ move) and have background app refresh turned on will do this, even if you close them out in the multitasking tray.

Open Settings, Privacy, and Location Services. See which apps have purple arrows next to them to identify the culprit.

Are you sure this will remove the lag?!

Anyone else having lag on iPhone 5?!

Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold down both the power button and the home button at the same time until the screen turns off and back on.

My phone has been off the charger for 30 minutes and it's dropped down to 95%; despite the fact it's on do not disturb mode and I've only used it to type this message. When I took it off the charger it immediately showed 99% - not sure what's going on!!!

I'm restoring the phone but if it is what it is now oh well. My air pretty much mirrors my phone when it comes to apps and it's not showing a empty location icon.

I'm guessing they changed something with displaying the icon - I haven't changed the settings in the culprit apps since the update, they are the same as they were.

Is this new with 7.1? Cause it always went away before when the app was closed?

There's a difference between lag and a crash.



People are reporting crashes, much worse.

No crashes on a 5S, 5, 4S, air, mini using that site. Most of them loaded them quicker than the windows 7 laptop. It's a stupidly made page though and the designer should be shot.

Yeah, I tried that. It's not something huge, but definitely not as smooth as butter.

meh...nothing great..other than patching jb...LMAO>

Absolutely wrong. Read my detailed memory usage tests here in the iOS7 and Hacks forums. Hint: iOS7.1 is a major improvement WRT memory usage & Safari / UIWebView (=third-party app) stability.

Yes, it's new.

Where is the link to your analysis ?

Yes, it's new.

lol then I did a restore for nothing. On the bright side I had about 8gb of "other" haunting me for months and it's gone now ha

I agree that it is stupidly coded, I just felt it was something that needs to be discussed.

 

[viacavour]

Man, there's definitely some lag here and there. And it's a NEW lag. Sad to say but Apple's going down!

On iPhone 5 ?!

I agree with the others you should reinstall from scratch.

7.1 is smooth even for my son's iPad 2.

iPhone 5 should be smooth too.

My 5s runs snappy as well.

 

[gluckett]

Perhaps background app refresh off for those apps will help.

I imagine so, but I'll live with it. The weather ones I want sending me warnings even when the app isn't running.

 

[iNotion]

Battery still sucks big time!!

 

[gluckett]

Glad to see the fingerprint sensor seems to be working much better at least for me now.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Where have all the not enough ram that is why the Air is crashing all the time people gone?

I think it was like that in iOS6. The developers petitioned to have to back after Apple changed the behavior in iOS7. But I am not sure anymore. Need to dig up that article.

Not just you. It works much better for me too. It's great now !
Next step is to integrate with more software !

 

[iapplelove]

Damn I found the guilty app! It was the apple store app haha

Franticly digging for something else to gripe about

 

[sunking101]

They didn't update the green in Numbers...having it next to the FaceTime icon makes the contrast VERY annoying. Also the new shift button color scheme is idiotic, it's not intuitive at all.

Move it then.

It still crashes, but, WRT Safari or third-party apps using UIWebView, much less frequently / later, after loading significantly more content. See my earlier reports.

Explanation: UIWebView (on which Safari is also based on) is a VERY memory-hungry widget - a Web page like nin.com can easily allocate over 300 Mbytes of RAM on a 32-bit (iPad3/4) Retina iPad (20-30% more on a 64-bit one - the rMini and the Air). It was one of the major causes for crashes under 7.0.x.

The situation is MUCH better in 7.1, also backed up by my independent and properly measured figures and tests.

Yup, NEVER restore backups, no matter what some people say.

I'll do it, but before that I'll love to hear someone using iPhone 5 telling me his Control Center is as smooth as butter on the lock screen.

So how do I get my notes and SMS back onto the phone?
