iOS 7.1 Beta 3 Bug Fixes and Changes

[PNutts]

Reduce White Point takes the edge off the white tones. Turn your brightness up and as you toggle it on/off you can see the change. It just takes the overly bright tint off the white sections.

Does it simply knock the overall brightness down a bit or does it affect just the white portions?

New power-off UI

Great. For years we had a nice button with an arrow that slid in a tray and made sense. Apple got rid of that to introduce the "futuristic design of a rectangular box" and we wet our collective pants one way or another over skeuomorphism. Now we have a round power button that slides (which historically is not a sliding control, those are normally a rectangular shape) and is confusing enough where again we have to read to be sure we know what to do. I can't wait to see my mom tap the button with that puzzled "why did I have you" look. We're being played.

You do if you're running beta 3.

I do and I don't. The GP leads me to believe there is a motion setting control when in Wallpapers & Brightness. iPhone 5s here.

Am not trying to be antagonistic- as I just realised this for myself. The switch on the iPad is round like the software switches. If they were gonna put skeuomorphism in iOS, it feels right that it matches the actual devices running it eh!

Yeah. It does mean that photos the same aspect ratio as your device's screen (e.g. 16:9 for iPhone 5+) can now fill the screen without any cropping... but probably not much consolation for many, as iPhone photos are 4:3.

edit: Actually, iPad screens are 4:3, so it can at least use its own photos without cropping. Still this isn't really a lot better than how it was in 7.0.

I just don't understand why if I have photos that are portrait sitting on my phone that were taken with my phone still can't be zoomed out all the way.

Here is the only bug I have found so far.

 

[IT Troll]

The sites what still crashed my iPad air on safari don't seem to do it anymore on beta 3 hopefully that's the end of the memory bug

That's good to hear. They should stop faffing about with the icons and release this critical fix ASAP.

Auto-Brightness off for anyone else?

My auto-brightness switched off after updating on my 5s and after every power cycle so far. Also seems far less responsive to adapting to the lighting around it

Anyone else?

my phone just restarted itself, has never done that before on any betas

When music is playing, if you go back to the list or playlist and select that track again it restarts the track.

Pretty sure before it would just do the same as the 'Now Playing' and not restart

Whoopsie, power-off button text doesn't fit properly in my language

iOS 7.0.4 here, and it restarts the track

Mine did this a lot on 7.1 b2, at least twice a day.

Thanks C DM,

Well according to the developers site , both my iPhone and iPad are registered devices on my own name...

Is it possible that this happens because I updated iso doing a restore??


Thanks again!

app notifications not counting stock email app, messages, phone, now engage the vibration properly like before ios 7.1 beta 2, when waked and sleeping. ios 7.1 beta 2 when waked, notifications would hardly make any vibration if any, when sleeping it would be a super weak vibration equal to the android phones' vibration when typing(if enabled), that kind of weak. back to normal now with beta 3 thank god..

If the UDID of those devices is truly registered with an Apple developer account, then it should activate without any issues whether or not you are doing a restore or something else.

1) The motion: off setting just works on the lock screen, the home screen and multitasking have parallax still

2) The slide to power off has graphical glitches for me

I am running iOS 7.1 beta 3 on an iPod touch 5th gen

Right on dude! The NEW Power Off UI is designed totally wrong in every possible way

You gotta turn off the home screen too by choosing it in Settings.

 

[RoboWarriorSr]

The new shutdown look reminds me a lot of Mavericks (maybe the color?). Makes me wonder about a possible refreshed design for Mac OSX. At least Apple is being more consistent with the circle design.

 

[hamis92]

When waking the device, the fade-in animation has been sped up quite a bit. It's now nearly instantaneous, almost like there's no fade at all. The fade-out animation for putting the device to sleep is noticeably faster too.

So far I'm liking the changes in this release – except for the more pronounced parallax effect. I wish the motion setting for wallpapers would turn that stupid thing off as well...

 

[richard371]

Just noticed this too lol.

Here is the only bug I have found so far.Image

Apple is takin care of us iPhone 4 users that makes me happy

Definitely! Glad to know my iPhone will at least be good till July or whenever i'm due for an upgrade. As for animations, I still prefer reduce motion simply because I don't fancy the fly-through effect, but now it's not a jittering laggard mess if it's something you like.

I'm still getting a lot of noticeable lag when on cellular connection as opposed to wifi. There's significant delay when opening apps just like beta 2.

Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Hi.

Is the bright RED color of the top bar when is sound recording fixed??

Any screenshot?

Thanks.

If it's fixed we'll have the Blue iOS 7.0 & Green 7.1 beta 2 & Red 7.1 beta 3, fixed.

I have never experienced any problems with the coloured status bar. It is supposed to be of different colour depending on what it's indicating: blue when Personal Hotspot is active, green when a phone call is in progress and red while an app is using your microphone.

Not even a little. Blazing fast on both my 5s and Air. Might want to consider doing a fresh restore.
