iOS7 - Features/Screenshots

[JJ!]

Few annoying things on the 4S. All my emails are now unread and when I mark all as read they come back again. Have 15 updates and when I go to the store to update they appear briefly then go and say no updates.

Hate re the way you change between safari pages now. Much preferred the old side ways look.

Otherwise its ok.

Faultless on my iPad 4 and Iphone 5. I'm loving it too.

The only thing have noticed is I have lost my 'Arsenal' calendar of all the fixtures and when re-downloading it I still don't get it...

Did the Clock icon show the correct time in iOS 6? Or was it just an image?

Just an image.

Installed on my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 now, not that impressed tbh, think it looked better before, all the colours etc seem more child like to me and not as established.

Lol. My first reaction when it came up? It looks a bit 'Androidy'!

Android might be able to configure the wi-fi adapters on Samsungs to manipulate an ironing board and fly to the Moon - or a billion-and-one other 'features'. But for aesthetics and the total polished look of iOS - Apple has it in the bag. And I'm faaaaaaaar from being a Bitten Fruit fanboi.

D.

Of course I do, the bar just remains on any background I choose.

It's upsetting me too, nothing can be done though :/

 

[Snakey]

Any day now....

 

[seb]

Can you post a screenshot of the problem with backgrounds?

 

[Gally]

Faultless install here on iPad and iPhone5. I did wait until after midnight. I like it, previous version was a bit more clinical but it's more vibrant now. Bit of a facelift.

Anyone have a list of cool new features that i'll never find?

 

[Lawro]

Some of the features are cool and the battery life seems to have improved. Visually however, it's all a bit childlike for me. Not a huge fan but I'm sure it wil grow on me.

 

[STICKER TWONK]

One of the best new features I've found, which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, is that you can hold down the camera button and it takes photos so fast. I then flick through and find the best one, delete the rest. Its awesome for taking photos of my 8 month old and capturing a moment that would have otherwise been blurry. Sure this wasn't available or at least, not as quick in ios6?

 

[Tom]

Can you post a screenshot of the problem with backgrounds?

Its not a problem, basically the panel behind the dock is a frosted transparency. If you choose a s**t wallpaper it sort of bleeds into a single colour.
The entire OS is sort of dictated by the home screen background, hard to explain but the more colours the better.

Same.

Seb:

Grey bar at the bottom....

 

[Tom]

i rest my case.

 

[Deeg]

In some way or other, it looks dreadful with all of the backgrounds I've tried.

It either looks like a retarded 4 year olds wet dream in bright pastel colours, or has a s**t dark bar at the bottom in dark colours.

 

[seb]

Ah ok i get you!

 

[Tom]

 

[Al_G]

Here's mine, Thomas is right...

Looks good...

❤️ Terry Henry.

 

[seb]

It doesn't bother me but i now understand what people hoing on about. I thought it was an actual glitch

For those interested in a summary of changes.

 

[Advikaz]

Mine failed eight times last night. Took the best part of two hours lols

 

[iain187]

My red and black wall paper has got a lot of pink folders now grrr!

 

[Will.]

Any one figure out or know if it's possible to change the sat nav voice?


Used it twice now over the last week and it's very hard to understand. Almost sounds like the guy has a gag in his mouth as he's speaking.

 

[Lawro]

Is there any way of getting the Google search field back in safari?

 

[SC03OTT]

Don't think so. Why would you want it?

 

[Adam.P]

Tried to download it, it turned my phone off half way through, and now my phone is broke . Won't turn back on, just sits on the apple logo not doing a great deal.

 

[Will.]

You don't need to. You use the address bar as your search bar. It even says 'Search or enter an address'

 

[Gally]

That block thing is a massive massive thing now. Been moaned about for years. Mostly for random call centre numbers etc.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I updated last night. Think it's really good so far

 

[DannyR]

Doesn't look like anybody's noticed the "floating" icons yet.

Tilt your iPhone or iPad on home screen and the background will move accordingly giving the impression of the icons floating!

I noticed this, noticing lots of little things as I go! Pretty neat.

 

[Sam]

I don't like that there is no quick tweet button.

I used to use that a lot.

 

[chris_p]

I like the functionality, but aesthetically it's like a fisher price toy. I'm almost patronised by the simplicity of the icons.

Has anyone else noticed that Siri now sounds like he's wearing a gimp mask? My missus heard it and shouted 'Brian bedonde!'

Yes lol, same with the sat nav man lol.

 

[Tom]

You could try changing the siri voice to USA, its a much more natural voice. But be warned it wont understand you as well.

Yeah I noticed that, just prefer the search field separate.

 

[cafcross]

The home screen is weird in regards to the way the picture/apps move as you move the phone about.

 

[Adamm.]

Just updated on the ipad, not a big fan yet tbh. It'll probably grow on me but its ruined my wallpaper size and it seems more messy to me.

 

[welshname]

It looks like a toy

 

[Toby]

Love the iMessage on iPad.

Hate the fact my e-mails are now unread.
