GM first impression?

[guicane]

I realised now on the GM you can access Control Centre when the keyboard is open, unlike the betas.

 

[Hook1903]

It looks like Beta 7, not stable like previous GM's.

 

[kristoffer4]

I wonder how much they will change from this GM to the final week.

I hope a lot!

Already submitted 2 bug reports...

Don't want to be an ass, but how is that a problem?

 

[batting1000]

One thing i gotta ask for the people who noticed, does the phone now tell you that the battery is fully charged or does the lightning bolt flash or something ?

No, the lightning bolt does not flash. That was changed in one if the earlier betas. The lock screen tells you the battery percentage though.

Will I be able to Sync google contacts via old iTunes, if I set my phone as new?

 

[dasx]

No, the lightning bolt does not flash. That was changed in one if the earlier betas. The lock screen tells you the battery percentage though.

Noticed that, but does it only tell you when it's fully charged? Because phone can be at 100% and still be charging. At least it could in iOS6 and previous versions.

This. in previous iOS we could tell by the plug in the battery now we cant tell if it charged or not.

oh gosh...this hasn't been fixed yet? 100% doesn't mean the battery is fully charged yo

 

[Oui]

running perfectly fine on iP5 and iPad 2 wifi
no issues so far very fast and smooth on both devices.

The UK Male voice is definitely the same one as iOS 6, it just seems hugely muffled now. It was very distinct and clear before but now you'd struggle to understand it with any significant background noise.

Check the Siri page in Settings, there's an option to download 'enhanced voice' which will get you back the high-quality voice.

 

[Spacial]

What's your first impression on the GM guys?
Any major bug? How is the speed? What's different from the latest beta of iOS 7?

In two words: very blah. But there's always next year. Apple doesn't need my money anyway

dynamic wallpapers

when starting the background settings and choosing a dynamic wallpaper and then jumping back to background settings and trying to start dynamic wallpaper again the phone jumps back to springboard automatically. have you seen this bug too?
seen on iphone5 a1429 ios 7 gm

I have a problem downloading the latest file. I cant see it in my phone when I click the check for update I cant see anything. I am still at the beta 6 so how can I can update my phone to GM or beta 7 ?

You cannot update OTA. You need to download the GM from the developer portal and restore to that file.

New wallpapers, new replaced sounds and ringtones.

loving the new ringtones .

 

[Orlandoech]

Even with a clean install using iTunes 11.1 beta 2 (MAC), iOS7 is still very buggy to me. Lots of Safari crashes, Settings.app crashing, random reboots and lots of 3rd party app issues (devs need to update their apps).

I LIKE:
New Sounds
New Wallpapers

I STILL HATE:
Music App
Dock
Lag between transitions (IP5)
Icons/Colors
Siri voice quality
5-day forecast removed from NC
Slow
Buggy

 

[cmChimera]

Did siri's voice revert back to ios 6 version?

 

[applefangordo]

For some reason siri sounds awful again. It's really low quality, nothing like It's been since Beta 2. Maybe I've missed something?

Yep, noticed that as well. Quality is for sure lower than previous beta.

 

[5aga]

iphone 5 here and the GM is better than the previous betas.

But there are still a couple of bugs. I think/hope there will be another GM build before next week's launch.

It won't, GM is the final.

 

[locoboi187]

Somewhat laggy on my iPad 4. Try pinching to close an app, you get a weird graphic phenomena that happens towards the end.

If it shows it's at 100% you are good to go. Even if it can still charge a bit more and you remove it before that bit of charging finishes you aren't really doing anything bad or missing out on much of a charge at all.

Yeah I know, even if you disconnected it with a 95% or so it should be OK, but if you never let it reach the fully full charge it'll end up shortening its duration more and more than if you hit the full charge.

I'm sure they'll fix this eventually though.
