Installing iOS7.0 on iPhone 5

[Mercenary Roadie]

Has anyone upgraded their iPhone 5 to the new iOS7.0 software yet?

If so, any problems?

The last time I upgrade was when I had an iPhone 3s and upgrade to iOS4 and it slowed my phone down so much as to make it all but useless.

I have an iPhone 4 that I upgraded to iOS7. No problems with the upgrade like I have had with previous releases.

One thing you want to do for security purposes is to disable the control center, notification center, and Siri on lock screen. Currently there is a hack to bypass the lock screen if the control center is shown on the lock screen. http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygre...lockscreen-to-hijack-photos-email-or-twitter/

Likewise upgrade my iPhone4 to IOS 7 so far it is awesome. My iPad 2 seems to be performing faster with ios 7 but the touch screen now is acting a little funky

No problems. I've done my IPad 2 and iPhone 4S and my son his iphone 5

I run my entire business on my iphone 5. iOS 7 issues so far 24 hours in

List view in calendar is gone. I used this for scheduling and billing. Now I have to look at day view. Very annoying

iMessage view is light green with white text. With good eyesight it is hard to read. Old version was green with black writing

Rebooted once on me

Clicked on an email that said next Monday at 9am. Usually that would make an appt for me for that day and time. It made an appt that started that Monday at 9 and ended the following Monday at 10

Those were my issues so far. Other features were cool but messing with the calendar screws up a big part of the functionality.

Thanks kwest, the calendar is what keeps my life in order and if they have messed with it I'm staying with iOS6 until it's fixed.

I upgraded my wifes iPad mini last night, with no problems (took about 2 hours though)

Definitely faster response on apps!

Not sure she likes it tho.

iPhone 4

I have the iPhone 4 (not S) and staying on IOS 6 for the moment, after reading the speed issues, see more at http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/09/new-lease-on-life-or-death-sentence-ios-7-on-the-iphone-4/

Anyone that have upgrade the iPhone 4 noticed the slower performance?



Thanks

I have been running IOS7 beta versions for the past month and half and it has been great. Upgraded to the final version couple weeks ago. I have a few clients that are complaining about battery life issues on iPhone 5 but I havent seen any. I do keep bluetooth and wifi turned off and turn on when I need them which is a lot easier with just sliding your finger up from the bottom now.

I upgraded my iPad mini on Wednesday night and tonight I will be upgrading my iPhone 4s along with my wife's iphone 5. I really like it with the exception of how the music is sorted. Liked the way it was sorted in the previous versions.

I installed iOS 7 on my stepdaughter's iPad 2 and it seems to work perfect. I did not upgrade my iPad with retina display as of yet. I'm going to wait until the reviews to see what bugs are occurring.

Exact same thing here. I installed iOS 7 on my step daughters iPad 2. I'm not going to upgrade mine. I did install it on my 4s. No problems. A bit sluggish on the iPad at times.

Upgraded my Ipad 2 today - took forever!! Thought it had gone AWOL.

Like the new look and the swipes to get to most settings easier, still learning it.

It is slower though, quite noticable infact but not a show stopper.

Funny how a few on here have done their families first and not their own yet - haha!

A few people I know have had issues and have had to redo via iTunes but second time seems to have worked, a bug perhaps in the installer first run?

Def think its an improvement though on IOS6

My iPhone is a 4 not a 4S and no issues at all with ios7, performs faster if anything. I also wiped it and did a clean install instead of upgrading 6 tp 7

The upgrade went ok for me.

A small but perhaps more relevant point is that the apple maps app seems (or feels) more accurate. It appears to give a more accurate location whilst driving around.

....And I love the easily accessible torch and photo apps, which I use an awful lot out on jobs.

Maybe this is just me, but I can't click a phone number and send a txt anymore. I also can't email a link from within Safari. Is anyone else having these problems, or is it just me?

 

[bertie40]

Sorry.
No problem here.

I find I have to hold down a bit longer on a link to bring up options.

As for mailing a safari link, pressing the "up arrow thingy" allows you a choice of destinations.

Hay Ho.

I came into this thread to post this exact thing. I had this issue last night and so I did a quick google of the problem. Seems it has been happening to alot of ppl lately.

The solution is to go to General > Settings > Reset All Settings.

Data and backups are not affected. You will just have to re-enter your wifi information and take off all the garbage on Notification Center.

Hope it all works out for you!

I've had to reset settings quite a few times in the past for quirky issues. Its a good first step before resorting to a restore.

This iOS update I did like any other big release update from Apple. Waited a day or so for all of the impulse downloaders to free up bandwidth. Then pulled the update down via iTunes by doing a "download only". Then later on Did the install. I'm liking it a lot so far performance wise and the UI. I'm on a 4s. Hoping to upgrade soon to the 5s to take advantage of the 64 bit capabilities.
