[Closed] Ewe, ios7, hurl

on O2, not a piggy back service. Just had a third text.

I would give O2 a shout. You shouldn't be getting charged for them, but would't hurt to double check. The number is definitely Facetime related, though.

Cheers Jamie, I will pop into the O2 shop at lunchtime and get them to check.

GrahamS - yup that's my number call me all you want 😉 (it's not and I do not know how much you would get charged for it so probably best not to)

Safari seems much faster now, too?!

Safari on my iPad mini definitely seems a lot faster at rendering pages. It used to pause for a second on the BBC News page, now it displays almost instantly.

Rusty Mac,

I think he meant the number in the text message.

We should all phone both numbers randomly throughout the day, just for a laugh.

Not sure why some people feel they have battery life issues? My i5 has been going for 38 hours with 2 of those use as a personal hotspot uploading and downloading data, much playing of the new UI, organising photo's, and hor long stint of Real Racing on the throne and general FB, texts and calls - ie a "heavier" day than usual, and its showing 9% now?

fantastic, didn't even notice that.

might be worth asking the mods to delete it from jfletch's post above too, as it's too old for him to edit it.

have done, reported the post and deleted the image on my Flickr account but it still appears on my screen.

dunno what to do now.

Your browser may be storing a local copy of it in its cache. If you delete and clear browsing history and local cache, it should be gone after that.

All gone now thank you very much mods.

Really bizarre that Apple have spent so long with beautiful and clear icons, and now replaced them with this load of incoherent toss.

Yep, I think the new icons look pretty ugly.

I do not like it 🙁

I do not like it 🙁

And it made me double post.

I like it appart from the icons.

Some of the newly deisgned apps look lovely and the thin fonts and borders bring out the best in the retina screen. But some of the icons look like they were designed by a child. Some are great though.

Calendar, voice memos, even photos are all nice.

But the messages, camera and settings icons all make me want to stick little bits of tape over the sceen where they appear. Blurgghhh.

Oh, and Safari, whats with the compass icon. Makes no sense and is fugly.

Hasn't Safari always been a compass? e.g. in 2010:

http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/04/apple-files-trademark-for-safari-icon.html

Completely agree it makes no sense though!

But then does a burning fox make any sense either? 😀

I think it's great other than the fact it's ugly and siri has caught a cold (on my ipad mini anyway, others sound fine)

Still not going to spunk £550 on an iphone though, not a chance. Even worse on contract, the one plan on 3 works out to cost £700odd over 2 years. Mental.

But then does a burning fox make any sense either?

No but at least its just a abstract company name and the icon matches. I'd be quite happy with a picture of an elephant or giraffe to represent the word "Safari" or some icon to represent the internet.

But the compass is and always has been ugly and out of place. The place for it on my phone is the folder where apple's stock apps a hidden from sign, nestled up with maps and stocks.

I'm sure some marketroid somewhere would explain that the brand language of "Safari" creates a mental image of adventure through uncharted territory, exciting and possibly even dangerous, and your browser is the compass that helps you navigate through that adventure safely.

Or some such bollocks.

But yeah - it's a crap icon. Could be worse though:

But at least microsoft have kept updating it

It may conjur images of a shit browser but at least its not a shit icon in its self.

This just looks like they dicovered how to apply a gradient in MS paint and went with it.

Never really bothered me the Safari icon.

I thought 'swoops' were old-hat 10 years ago!

Only bug i've found so far is that the music controls don't work when the screen is locked...

Erm, works ok for me. Have you turned something off somewhere?

It may conjur images of a shit browser but at least its not a shit icon in its self.

Yep - it clearly shows you flying around the big blue "e" for "enternet" 🙂

I don't think many browser icons make sense. It's kind of an abstract concept really.

As for Chrome...

FWIW I like iOS 7. The added features are great, and I like the new clean design - especially the fonts which are now specifically designed for retina screens. My initial reaction was "wow that's bright" but it definitely makes the design above ^^^^ (with the OTT shadows, highlights, etc) look quite dated already... (although I thought they were a bit naff anyway)

They can still use Siri to activate Airplane Mode from the Lock Screen so you'd need to switch that off too.
Good shout, sorted

How do I sort this please?

😆 I like that.

Yeah, maybe its just the look of the Safari icon that offends me. It always used to be a bit twee and oldy worldy and now it's MS paint.

I wish there was space for a fifth app on the permanent bar at the bottom. 😐

For flash? 😆

On an amusingly incompetent note. Barclays just sent me this text:

When I first read that the Control Centre could be accessed from a locked phone and used to turn on Airplane Mode - thus rendering Find my iPhone useless - I had a panic and turned this feature off ASAP. I then missed it, so thought what the possible impact was.

My understanding is that the new iOS7 means that the phone cannot be reset without the iCloud credentials. If my phone fell into the wrong hands and they turned on Airplane Mode, the thief would be left with a phone they are unable to reset to use themselves or flog. They can't get into it either, assuming I have a passcode on it that they don't crack. OK, so I've lost a phone but - in theory - I've lost no valuable or sensitive data.

As soon as they turn wireless on or airplane mode off (i discovered today that Airplane mode can be used with wireless and Bluetooth on) I can use Find my iPhone to wipe the data.

In summary, I reckon the risks of having Control Centre accessible from the lock screen are minimal.

They can't get into it either, assuming I have a passcode on it that they don't crack.

I think that is the issue. With Airplane Mode turned on they can take as long as they like to crack the passcode and you can't do anything to stop them.

No lag on my 4S. The icons are fine, just different. iPaad1 only supports iOS5 and this feels really dated now.

With Airplane Mode turned on they can take as long as they like to crack the passcode and you can't do anything to stop them.

HA HA!

There is an option tthat will reset the phone after 10 failed attempts though.

Exactly, so it's not as bad as some people are making it.

Assuming you've turned on that option.

And assuming there is no other way into the phone - like the other bug (which lets you access apps from the lock screen) or simply connecting it up to a PC with some third-party software running that lets you browse the phone.

I agree it isn't a major blocker - but it is something folk should be aware of.

Wether airplane mode is off or on you only get 10 attempts on the password, but it will not let you re-enter for an hour or so unless you have the feature on that wipes the phone after 10 attempts. My girls often trip this.

Just updated my iPhone 5, an iPad 2 and my wife's iPhone 4 and it's all gone very slick and all works like a dream. It took a bit of getting used to initially but after a good 30 mins of playing with it it feels natural and the previous version looks outdated now. I love the control panel feature and the clean look of the new icon designs.

It's clearly nothing more than a visual update with a few minor additional and enhanced features, but it's all good.

Not having read right from the beginning, but has anyone else noticed the fact that the clock icon now actually tells the correct time, with sweep second hand as well? Nice subtle little touch, that. 😀
I did discover late last night that the folder background colour is dictated by the wallpaper colours, I've put a photo up which sort of graduates from sand to sky, (it's a beach shot), and the folders follow suit; they're basically just blurred background.
I'm liking 7 more and more, there's lots of nice functionality in there, which makes 6 seem clunky by comparison.

but has anyone else noticed the fact that the clock icon now actually tells the correct time, with sweep second hand as well? Nice subtle little touch, that.

Hadn't noticed that no 😀

It's pointless but very cool !

I think it's a whole load better than 6. My 4S and iPad 3 are faster so that's good as well 🙂 I like the unicorn land colours and icons too.

Perhaps a teasing hint by Apple that they [i]could[/i] do widgets if they really wanted to?

Settings / General / Siri / slide to left

wrong thread!

I like the moving background wallpaper, it's a gimic but I still like it

So finally updated. Not entirely convinced so far.

Bad point: The Calendar seems to be a lot more painful to use.

Good points: app folders can finally hold more than one page of apps! And apps finally auto update.

Nice find on the clock ! I hadn't noticed either

Not read the other 7 pages so don't know if the following been mentioned....

Calendar, rubbish
Flickr pix / vids not showing
Every time I scroll up a page I bring up the control panel at the bottom, annoying!

iPad user

Calendar seems alright on the iPad but is useless on the phone. You used to be able to tap the days with events and it showed you at the bottom what the events were. Now it takes you to a new screen where you have to scroll through the day (or hit search) to see the schedule, then tap again to go back.

Many more taps to do the same thing = not good!

Every time I scroll up a page I bring up the control panel at the bottom, annoying!

Not had that but you can turn it off in Settings.

The scroll pad that swipes up from the bottom is a bit annoying, but I've gotten used to not swiping directly from the bottom of the screen.

I really don't like the transparent/grey toolbars, they really are gash.

Sent from my iPad

Anyone elses internet totally crippled then not on 3g but gprs instead.

Wll be slower i appreciate but on ios7 it just doesnt seem to work at all......

Tried rebooting etc.... Works fine with 3g though

How can I turn off the parallax thingy? I've looked in 'settings' but can't see it!

Totally settled in with it now - I like it a lot .

General>accessibility>reduce motion

I had a good old look on the new 5c in the Apple shop today and have to say IOS7 suits it much better than the iPad..

This may amuse people on this thread [s]morons[/s] people queuing for FIFTEEN DAYS to get an iPhone 5S!!

my wifes very dissapointed by the new calendar her 3yr old htc (basic android more or less) was a lot more user friendly

can u get other decent calendar apps from the store?

Yeah been looking myself, the new calendar is lovely on the ipad but utter crap on the phone.

There are loads. CalenMob and Readdle both look okay.

Discovered a neat little gimmick earlier, you can customise the vibrate alert.

Mine is picking up the wifi better around the house. And it feels lighter. Hmmm...

Another issue with my iphone 4 - where before it picked up wifi no bother....it cant see most wifi tags. Couldnt find any bt openzones earlier....yet my ipad could...not upgraded it yet though.

Gt an appointment at genius bar on tuesday about another apple product- ill mention it then.

And it feels lighter. Hmmm...

Because it's got rid of all those bevels.

It's like a fruit death disease, first BlackBerry then Apple....

Now that Steve Jobs has gone, it feels like there is a really a lack of innovation, direction or quality coming out of Apple. IOS7 should be either one of two things; Evolutionary or Revolutionary.

It looks like neither, just a rip off of Windows Vista (Not 7, as that works properly).

Hmmm isn't the iPhone 5S [url= http://m.digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-5s-64-bit-a7-processor/ ]the world's first 64-bit smartphone[/url]. Apparently Apple designed their own custom chip as a 64-bit ARM wasn't going to be ready in time.

Is that not innovation?

How on earth is it a rip off of Vista? Its nothing like Vista. It is a facelift of the previous iOS - nothing more. I struggle to understand how anyone could have expected any more. I really don't see what the big deal is. As for innovation....Its a smart phone. Its a pretty mature product, there are not really any more huge innovation steps to come. Maybe when we crack mind control you can ditch the screen and control the phone without having to actually interact with it, but I think we're a while off that.

We're not going to really see if Apple has anything up its sleeve regarding iOS7 for a while and only on the 5S. Software is developed at a faster rate than hardware so it usually held back due to capabilities of hardware. The 5S' 64 bit architecture should spawn a whole new generation of increased capability and innovation from a phone, giving it genuinely as much power as a computer as soon as the software developers can suss out how best to exploit it.

Journey times using satnav in Google Maps have decreased also.

Not on a 5S, it's not powerful enough, nor does it have enough memory. But I do see it as a step on the way towards a future phone that can be plugged into a keyboard and monitor and be used as a fully-functional Mac/Android/Windows machine.

It has the power to make my car faster dd ??

The spirit of Jobs warps space and time to get you to your destination faster.

Im sold.

I dunno trail_rat, it's just making our world a better place. One small step at a time. More people have smiled at me since updating.

If you want the list view in the calendar, just tap the search icon.

Anyone know how to find 6 unread hotmail emails on the iPhone 4?
Marked all 2389 as read but still 6 remain.
Grrrrr

Count: that works but it doesn't really solve the problem properly.

Old system in month view: "What we doing that day?", tap day, "Oh yeah and the week after?", tap day

New system in Month: "What we doing that day?", tap day, tap search, "Oh yeah and the week after?", tap Done, tap Month, tap day, tap search

Not exactly a step forward!

My dog's appetite has improved since the update.

Apparently [b]Apple designed their own custom chip[/b] as a 64-bit ARM wasn't going to be ready in time.

That's right. I heard Apple didn't even mine the minerals themselves or do any of the smelting. 😆
