*THE OFFICIAL APPLE iOS 7 THREAD*

[shogun]

anyone's iphone just randomly shut down and restart since upgrading to ios7? it's been happening to me quite often lately.

My phone has been doing that since last week. It'll freeze and shut off all the time now. I'll try restoring it tomorrow. Not sure if it's the software or if apple gave me a busted refurbished phone as a replacment.

Hasn't this feature always been there since 7.0? I've always has mines turned off.

Before when Reduce Motion is turned on, the animations are still there like when you unlock the phone or opening a folder.. but now it doesn't. it just goes straight to where you goin. I find it weird and very android like.. i think it'll help the battery life due to all animations being turned off.

Does anyone's battery life feel shorter on iOS 7

I feel like my battery runs out quicker. Any tips would help

Things I have done to improve battery life

1. No parallax
2. Black wallpaper and lock screen
3. Turn off background refreshing for apps i don't need.
4. Use wifi whenever i'm at home
5. Turn off bluetooth whenever possible
6. Close apps when not using
7. Keep safari pages down
8. Reduce brightness

With all that i made it through work without charging.

Best battery life i've ever had

Thing I have done to improve battery life

1. Bought a battery case

I also love how all your favorites show as icons in the browser - for an empty page or if you hit the address bar. Saves me from having desktop icons.

sucks ios 7 won't let me play/pause videos it when locked... using mctube btw 

Music tube is better. This is it. Last icon second row. You can have playlists set up and once a video is added to the playlist it doesn't use data any longer. Pretty fresh

Works in the background too

how do you delete un-synced videos from the native videos app.

Specially the ones that are shared through itunes, rather than videos that are on the physical device.

 

[sooperhooper]

Just copped an iPad air,very sleek device. How do I make safari full screen?

 

[trudeljb10]

@iYen  what iPhone battery case do you suggest?

 

[goldmember]

Any news on a 7.0.3 jailbreak yet?

 

[4one5]

How do I get iTunes to recognize what podcasts I finished listening to on my iPhone? It seems like it syncs the other way around so they are back to being marked unplayed on my phone since I don't listen to them through the computer. Is there a way to sync it the other way around? A bit irritating when you lose track of which epiosdes you got done listening to.

Thank GOD ios7 lets you block people's calls and texts. That is all.

Any word on how to bypass the passcode yet? I know the boosted up the security but i need to bypass codes still.... until then i have a bunch of paper weight iphones

 

[freshkrn]

[shogun]

I'm wondering when they'll make the option of turning off that stupid battery percentage popup. I already have the % displayed at the top, don't need the popup to pause what i'm doing on my phone.

Anyone else hear about this?

http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/23/technology/mobile/apple-iphone-security-hole/

Security experts say Apple has patched a hole that could have exposed sensitive information to hackers.

Left unfixed, hackers could potentially read private communications sent over Apple devices: emails, instant messages, social media posts and even online bank transactions.

But experts say it's unlikely any hackers did, since the vulnerability was first disclosed when Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) released a security patch over the weekend.

The patch fixes the issue in the most recent software available for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches.

A fix is not yet available for the OS X software, the operating system for Apple computers.

Without the patch, a hacker could be what experts call a man-in-the-middle -- it's like a game of Telephone you don't even know you're playing.

"Alice wants to communicate securely with Bob," explained Nathan Sportsman, a mobile security expert and CEO of Praetorian. But Eve, a hacker, uses this vulnerability to put herself between the two. "Now Alice is talking to Eve and Eve is talking to Bob," he explained. Alice and Bob think they're talking to each other privately.

This lets hackers view the communications, such as bank deposits or Facebook (FB, Fortune 500) posts. If they intercept a username and password, the hacker could return to your account later and cause more damage, Sportsman said.

Hackers can also modify the transmission, said Dmitri Alperovitch, the chief technology officer at the security firm CrowdStrike.

For the most part, Alperovitch said, the hacking ability is limited to people who are on the same network as the hacker -- such as in a coffee shop or on an airplane.

He said Apple users should make sure their device is updated with the newly issued software before next connecting to a public wireless network. He recommended owners of Apple computers wait until an update is available before using it on a public network.

And if you're already tapped into an insecure network, sign off, then perform the update, Alperovitch said. Otherwise hackers could corrupt the update as it travels to your phone.
