iOS 7.1 Beta 1 Bug Fixes and Changes

sbailey4 said:
Can you explain how any of those features is an "accessibility reason"? None of those effects (parallax, zoom, animated weather) are "needed" or not needed by anyone. They are simple user experience effects. And as such they should be optional for which ones a particular user wants or not. Sure none of them HAVE to even exist as they bring no real function other than user experience. Not sure I follow you on how 3D effect on home screen, zooming icons or rain coming down in the weather app is only for accessibility reasons.

Simple, there are people with some physiological quirks who experience vertigo-like issues when seeing various movement, and it has been documented that in particular parallax and the new zooming animations in iOS 7 have caused those kinds of symptoms for some people. That is one of the main reasons why the movement setting was present from the beginning and one of the main reasons it was tweaked to apply to pretty much all movement/animations across the OS. Features like that are not there to allow people to customize things based on what's faster or cooler for them (even though they can be used for those purposes too to some degree)--they are primarily there for accessibility reasons which is essentially to assist someone with usability of something due to a limitation they might have or a condition they experience. That is why options of that nature (ones that modify the default behavior of the system for those kinds of purposes) are there in the accessibility section of settings and not elsewhere.
 
Bug: Activating Siri on iPhone 5, Siri comes up and will 'deactivate' voice response right away, so you have to tap on the screen to respond

Updated on Sprint and am having terrible connectivity issues. Phone will constantly drop down to "1x" which is basically no internet service. Can only send normal texts and no imessages. When I put I turn on/off airplane mode to reset the antenna I will get onto LTE, but eventually will fall back to 1x, its like 3G doesn't exist.

Anyone else having similar issues?

I think it might be effecting battery life as well as its searching for signal and/or 1x is less efficient?

Same issue on my Sprint 5S. I either have 1x or LTE. No 3G. Other than that though it feels a lot more smooth than 7.0.4.
 
Maybe another bug

I don't know if this is only happening to me, i'm running iOS7.1 beta and when i try to send an iMessage to someone who i've never sent an iMessage before, the iPhone won't recognize that the person has iMessage enabled, but my Mac does recognize it, the iPhone receives the messages as iMessage and replies as SMS. Anyone else? I've tried all the solutions posted around the internet.
 
Found a bug. This has happened a few times now. When playing Music the lock screen controls and CC don't appear, or show no music playing. In the screen shot below I'm actually listening to music through the Music app.

They finally fixed the colour of text labels in Safari when searching for a word in a page. Before 7.1 the text labels were always black, even when in private browsing so you pretty much couldn't see what it was saying. It was an amateur oversight in UI design especially from Apple.
 
My pogo connect is not working anymore! It connects, but pressure sensitivity seems to be disabled somehow, it just won't draw a single line in any app... It worked on 7.04 though!
 
Missing "Cellular" in Settings

Anyone else missing the "Cellular" selection in settings. I was having some LTE issues and wanted to toggle it on and off and noticed it was missing.

Still seems to be there here. Restart perhaps might help?

Nope. Still nothing. I'm with ATT so I'm not sure if that matters or not. Weird

Nevermind. I found it. I had a blonde moment. Didn't realized it was moved to the main page of the settings screen lol
 
In 7.1 b1, is the bottom of the Weather app still cut off when you have a double height status bar (e.g. in call, using hotspot or microphone in use)

I experience this issue when I go to places like Dave & Busters and play the video games. I become ill. Severely ill.

I turned off parallax on my iPad as I was worried the same would happen

They should really add a Spotlight search field to Settings, similar to the one in System Preferences in OS X.
 
Not so much a bug but stupid feature implementation ... When recording video in Apples stock app it can be nigh on impossible to turn the light on and off as pressing the button just operates as a focus.... And focusing takes ages.
 
Did the lockscreen in 7.1 by any chance change back to the 6 behavior where if you use a keyboard required passcode (not just numbers) the Submit button was next to what was typed? In 7 the Done button moved down to the lower right.

For some reason.
 
Ringtone volume

I've posted this in the "All the little things" tread but will post it here too..just in case ;)

A question for you who are testing the new beta . Are the ringtones louder now ?

Since iOS 7 , if I want to hear my phone ring when outside , I must have it at 100% , which never happened before. I have seen treads about this issue but I'm hoping it will be fixed .
 
Idk if someone has already mentioned this but my AppStore update badge is not clearing. Sometimes you need to reboot and it clears but it doesnt work all the time.
