I keep getting 'network lost' when I switch my phone on, but then it finds the network seconds later :-/
Got a tip for us?

iOS 7.1 broke more things than it actually fixed..

I know a bunch of IOS 7.1 users who are not having any Apple issues. They have had issues with, for instance, a particular application crashing and low and behold 2 days later the vendor supplied an update to fix crashing and haven't had that problem again.
You really can't blame application crashes all on Apple. There are great developers and some not so great. Any application has bugs - how they show up and how often is really the developer's issue and not Apple. Some developers test with Beta versions of new Apple software and fix things ahead of time and some don't bother - again not an Apple issue.

Yeah.. I was on VODAFONE IN. So when I turned on 3g the text on status bar got too long.. I dunno if it's because of carrier itself or its name. But I switched to Airtel and didn't have any problem till now.
i think it's logical problem as when 3g or gprs logo appear the lag happens but with edge logo it's just E no problem happened so we have to change the name or the carrier it self
Hmm. Facebook crashes on my iPhone 5, but it did that in 7.0.x anyway. I don't really have the other issues.
You might try turning off background app refresh for the data wheel thing. I had it turned off before but it switched on when I updated.

Lag when cellular data is turned on and the carrier name becomes too long. Like when 3G is turned on in a vodafone sim, it shows like this
VODAFONE IN 3G (becomes crammed and data wheel moves to the right of the status bar. Lag)
For Airtel it shows
Airtel 3G (Small. So data wheel stays on the left. No lag)
But what's the actual lag? What works differently and in what way when that is happening?
It's not because of the data wheel. Mine doesn't lag and it's on the right. I believe when iOS has to shorten the carrier name by making the text close together is when it'll start lagging, at least in my case.
I was just describing that when name is too big data wheel moves to right. I know lag is not caused by data wheel's location.
And yeah I think I found out when the 'continuous spinning data wheel on homescreen' bug happens. It happens when you start a download in App Store and immediately stop it.
I spoke too soon about only having occasional app crashes.
Is anyone else's phone app becoming unresponsive occasionally when you try to answer or end a call?! It's happened to me twice in the last two weeks.

My 4s on 7.1 is outstanding. Best its been since its came out.
Zero issues and battery life is amazing.

Nope 7.1 has fixed any of the minor gripes I've had, my 5S is stable and feels much faster now, very happy with it .
I think people should perhaps put a bit more thought into their thread titles. These are issues you are having, it doesn't make Apple a bad company or their products broken universally. Every single manufacturer will have defective products out of the millions they produce, so try and be a bit more constructive perhaps than making it out like Apple's stock is about to crash and their so terrible. We have 7 iOS devices in my household and they all are running 7.1 and have zero problems, so clearly those issues you pointed out aren't that widespread.

Hey buddy I am just trying to help users having similar problems by discussing possible solutions..
Yes i am with you very very strange even i contacted apple support and senior talk to me and said to check my carrier company hhhhh
I thought in first time i saw this issue that the problem from the celuller data itself but never thought it could be just long caracters or name it's very very strang
You can try changing the signal dots to numbers using field test mode as that would take a bit less space and perhaps help with something like this (not sure to what extent though): http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/20/field-test-mode-iphone-signal-strength-numbers/
This could be more of an issue where Apple hasn't made the update suitable for older devices.
I know this was the case for many who updated to iOS 7 on the iPhone 4 and even 4S where things were a bit laggy and slow; however, that's to be expected considering the older hardware. With this, I could understand why my iPhone 5 might be acting a little sluggish especially considering the change with the new 64-bit hardware included in the newer devices. I haven't updated, though, so I can't say for sure, but that's my best guess.
My only issue with this conclusion is that it seems to be affecting quite a few people here and I doubt that most of you aren't running on the most recent hardware so that's a bit shocking.
