I know exactly what you're talking about, it's happened to me a few times when quickly swiping down after receiving a message. It's definitely a bug.

Another bug is if you click on the "Videos" app without having any videos on the phone, it displays a huge blurred out icon that fills the entire screen before it quickly reverts to normal transparency.

Glad you know what I'm talking about!

Woah! Yep. Happened to me that video bug!

Have you reported both?
 
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.

So far so good. I have been able to reliably stream audio via bluetooth in my car (Hyundai).
 
Apple chose to update at a great time as I am using my iPad 4 a lot for my university assignments, it is running so beautifully that it's a pleasure to do editing to my work with it, very happy with the update.

If the iPhone 6 comes with at least a 5inch display then I may just drop Android as I am so happy with this update, my moms iPhone4S and iPhone5S are Both running so fast it is ridiculous!
 
Anyone else NOT have the update available? When I go to settings>general>software update there is no option to download and install. Only a usage settings button at the bottom? Anyone?

You might not have enough space available to update.
 
Moving the reminders up makes them appear before calendar events as they might be more important to you.

As for calendar, go into day view and select the new agenda view button at the top, that way it will simply show a list of events with their times rather than a bunch of hours, and this will apply both to the calendar app and the calendar section in notification center.

I don't know what you mean new day view? Do you mean the way it was in iOS 6 by clicking the hideous new button? If yes I already have that.


Not sure it will fix what I'm talking about. Try. Set a new calender event. Set it to start today and finish in fifteen days time. Then tomorrow you'll have a calender stretched all down the screen upto 0000 the next day with just a line.

If you change the view in the Calendar app to list view it will change the view in the notification center as well and won't have anything stretching out, just an event with a start time and and end time next to it.

Got it. Thanks :)
 
Seems as 7.1 broke my Bluetooth in my car. When I connect to play a song, the dashboard shows the song title, but all the music is coming out of my phone's speaker. I tried to look and see if there was a output setting I could change, but had no luck. Anybody have any ideas?


Well tried making a phone call through Bluetooth and it worked. So tried music app again and it is now working. Must have been a bug. Yay!

Its a pity it can't be set independently. I prefer the ios 6 calender view but the NC view you just showed me is spot on.

I've submitted in-depth reports to Apple via Bug Reporter for both bugs.
 
Some people will always try to justify Apple's decisions, no matter how anti-consumer those decisions are...

And WRT Apple means "premium" quality, just take a look at my own (!) shots of original swollen iPhone 3GS batteries:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/33448355@N07/sets/72157633931601917/

At least some batches of the the 3GS has by far the worst LiIon/Poly battery I've ever seen. I've been using PDA's with Li-Ion/Poly batteries ever since late 1999 and I've had (and sill have!) all major PDA's and handheld PC's ever released (it was then that HP Jornada 520/540/680, the Casio Cassipeia E105 etc. started using Li-Ion/Poly tech instead of AA / AAA batteries of previous PDA's.) but have never seen so badly swollen batteries.
Apple indeed use high quality batteries .... A lemon is just a lemon

----------

Good thinking but I have 1.4gb available and the update is just 214mb, so space doesn't seem to be the issue?

It needs 2.5 Gb to start installation, so this is the issue
 
Never had any Safari crashes or phone resprings or restarts in iOS 6 or earlier, but I've definitely seen all of those in iOS 7.

----------

Both iOS 7.1 and True Detective have so much good stuff underneath that unfortunately just goes unnoticed or even simply ignored by different people.

Me too ... I was satisfied by Safari under iOS 6 and forced to switch to Mercury after iOS 7 installation.

----------

Not sure if most of stability, security, various bug fixes, and some overall performance improvements can be achieved through jailbreaks tweaks.

This is the point.
People are pointing at the cosmetic changes, but what's really important is the code under the skin of iOS 7.1

----------

Location accuracy and nearby services are improved when Bluetooth is turned on. So in order to provide a 'better experience', Apple turns on the Bluetooth.

Bt has nothing to do with location accuracy .... Bt is turned on after every update to enable airdrop
 
Anybody having battery life issues with 7.1 on an iP5?

After an overnight charge and morning of light usage, I've already consumed 10%.

Using the same settings as 7.06, which didn't have any issues.

Prior to that, 7.03 was ok, then 7.04 was initially ok before something triggered a similar drain. Updating to 7.06 cured that, and all was well. (all updates through iTunes, not OTA)

I wish I knew what it is that causes this Jeckyll/Hyde behavior where any potential update might trigger this issue. I realize that 7.1 is a major change, and just might be hungrier, but it's annoying that each update is like playing Russian roulette.

Nothing has changed in terms of usage or settings, but the fact that the same version (in my case, 7.04) can go "bad" for whatever reason, is annoying.
 
Haven't downloaded iOS 7.1 yet - been reading the posts here to see what the feedback is first (will probably get round to doing it tonight/ tomorrow - 5 iDevices in the household!!)

Listening to the UK Siri voices on this website:

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14...ng-siri-voices-for-the-uk-australia-and-japan

The female UK voice still sounds so robotic...?!?!?:confused: The male one sounds quite nice and sounds totally different to UK Siri pre-iOS 7.1.....

With the high quality voices, the woman definitely doesn't sound robotic. She doesn't sound extremely British either... Would love a Scottish Siri (speaking as one of the few non-born-Scots at work...)

I feel like it has been using more battery over the last couple of days. I'm doing a restore from backup just now, to see if it makes any difference (this is an iPhone 4S)
 
1, does Safari crash / reload tabs even with 7.1? It does. Even after loading only a handful of Web pages. So much for "1GB being sufficient" and "the kernel has amazing RAM compression".

2, Price of an additional 1GB RAM? $3? Not much.

3. And the additional power consumption? 1% less battery in a day (corresponding to, say, 5% on an iPhone), on an iPad, to maintain the content of RAM all the time (also in suspended state)? As I (and a lot of other iOS users) routinely recharge my iDevices daily (or even more often), I don't think it'd be a problem to have an additional 1GB. And not only Safari would be much more useful (far less frequent crashes / tab reloads), but top games like XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which do need 400+ Mbytes of free RAM to properly operate.

This complaining about the ram is just a non sense: my Lumia 925 has 1 Gb of ram and is working just fine.
Don't use android as a model: it wastes much more ram than iOS or wp8 by itself (not to speak about bloatware installed by some manufacturer like Samsung).
Of 2 Gb on a typical droid you have 800-850 Mb free. On an iPhone/iPad you have 520 Mb free out of 1 Gb.

----------

As others have pointed out, don't wait for a miracle. 1GB RAM is plain insufficient for multitabbed Web browsing.

----------



Apple may boast anything and call themselves the best innovators. The sad truth still remains: Safari / UIWebView consumes a lot of memory and not even memory compression can help it.

Have you ever benchmarked Opera Mini? Sure, its JS / AJAX support is almost non-existent but it has some major advantage - even heavy pages (e.g., one of my standard benchmark pages at http://winmobiletech.com/a/1.html ) only consume some hundred kilobytes of RAM when browsed in Opera Mini. The same page makes Safari allocate about 80 Mbytes of RAM - that is, almost two orders of magnitude more.

This is why I could open (and keep in memory!) even 30-40 tabs on a measly iPhone 3G (with 48 Mbytes of free RAM max) in Opera Mini. Now, do it in Safari or any multitabbed 3rd party browser...

As you can see, even alternative browser engines can have waaaay less memory usage than Safari. Even in 7.1 and its significantly improved Safari.

Never used a WP 8 device, right ?
1 Gb is enough .... but Safari is poorly optimized (I didn't test it with 7.1 yet).
 
Something else I just noticed--when powering off the phone, it doesn't seem to display the spinning gear any longer.

The screen just goes black, so I guess there's no way to tell when the shutdown process has finished and the phone is off.

Yeah, I'll give it a few days and see if anything changes, then do another install to see if it helps.

I could barely see the spinning gear when powering down my Air and 1st gen Mini. I haven't powered down my 5s yet, just did the update a little while ago but I'll see what happens later.

Nope, they don't necessarily do so.

1, MANY 3GS have had so bad batteries. I've seen three of them with my very own eyes.

2, let me also mention the major iPhone 5 battery problems also widely discussed. No matter how light my using the iPhone 5 was (I use it for 10-20 minutes a day, calls being them 2-3 minutes max., the rest is quick email checking and Web browsing if I don't have my iPads around (e.g., in the WC)),the battery of my iPhone 5 has also died on me after half a year. This is a well-known problem with the iP5.

3, these batteries tend to have a shorter lifespan than high-quality batteries manufactured by Nokia. For example, my original Nokia N95 (used by the wife now), purchased in 2007, still runs on its original battery and "only" requires recharging every second day, allowing for extensive talking & texting & shooting. While my late 2010 iPod touch 4G has a battery life of about 20-30 minutes - its battery is absolutely cr@p... and it wasn't used much either as I've only purchased it as a dev device, not as a gaming one.

----------

This complaining about the ram is just a non sense: my Lumia 925 has 1 Gb of ram and is working just fine.

1GB is sufficient for most tasks assuming properly written system apps (see your own comment on Safari below), but some AAA+ games like XCOM can easily tax a system (XCOM requires some 400-500Mbytes of RAM to run without annoying slowdowns) so much that all other apps need to be purged from the memory for them to properly run.

Never used a WP 8 device, right ?

Actually, I have two of them (purchased for development). I don't really use WP8 as it's even more closed than iOS (and it doesn't have my fav games: Spectromancer and XCOM), particularly now that iOS7 had a JB for more than three months. Nevertheless, I do like the fluidity and low hardware requirements of the OS.

1 Gb is enough .... but Safari is poorly optimized (I didn't test it with 7.1 yet).

Yup, Safari (that is, UIWebView) has always been*going wild with memory, even in iOS7.1. It has always been very badly optimized, even back in the iPhone OS 3 times. I don't understand why Apple can't get it right.

Nevertheless, as I've explained above, some AAA+ games can easily run into the 1GB barrier, also proved by XCOM.

Yeah, the spinner is there, but it's very very "faded" so to say.
 
Its a pity it can't be set independently. I prefer the ios 6 calender view but the NC view you just showed me is spot on.

Hmm seems you can if you jiggle the settings onto that list view then pull nc down to check its the way I wanted then back to calender and jiggle the button till it shows the ios 6 way and it seems set. Now it appears like it did in ios 6 in calender and in notification center. Phew what a headache to get there
