General iOS 7 beta 1 thread

[Cgdoc519]

Is anyone else really enjoying iTunes Radio? I understand there is essentially no difference between it and Pandora. But, as with most Apple products, having seamless integration really makes for a good experience. I like being able to purchase songs right from the music app.

Agreed! I am so far very pleased with iTunes radio. It's very simple and I love being able to swipe up from and screen and like or dislike a song.

I miss my Tap To Tweet and Tap To Post buttons.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I went to post a tweet and was like "wait a minute....." Its ok though, still enjoying it.

You can dismiss notifications by swiping up.

Great tip. Thanks!

So, I've managed to crash Springboard 3-5 times while moving apps inside a folder. Apps crashed about 5 times. Everything happened in about 5 hours.

• Some UI elements are not properly placed, they overlay each other.
• While scrolling, on Safari, buttons re-appear randomly.
• If you want to shut down your phone, there are black bars, like in old apps, that weren't updated for 4" screen.
• There's no weather in NC, I wonder why…

Let's hope to see Beta 2 soon.

chill man...its only been 1 day since the beta has been released. The GM will be released in the fall, so don't expect a beta for another 1-2 more months.

For weather to show up in the NC you have to have location services enabled for the weather app. I hope they change this in the future.

I am just hoping to see it soon. I am calm


It is enabled, I get some kind of weather for my Calendar events, but nothing like in iOS 6, current conditions and one week forecast.

 

[Tinmania]

Just so it's clear you must be registered as an Apple Developer to install iOS 7.

Actually you don't, which has been pointed out numerous times. Had you updated instead of restored it would have sailed right through, registered UDID or not.

Oh. Yeah that's all you're going to get as far as I know. There's no weather widget anymore.

Transparent dock...

Hi, folks. New here.

Was wondering if I am the only one where the dock is not transparent on iOS7?
Looks like a bright grey square and does not match background image.

Also, I keep getting weird sms messages from a number abroad saying "REG-RESP? And lots of numbers" have gotten several now. Different numbers, same beginning.

- Sluggish animations, waiting for dp2 already
+ Newsstand in a folder woho!

This may be the case on iPhone 4, to increase performance.

Yeah, must be an iPhone 4 thing. Wonder if they are going to change that at all. I'd rather have no box at all than this square, grey block.

Another nice thing to know: Safari in iOS 7 passes the HTML5 test with 404 and 9 bonus points.

Hi, Can you test if Web App download!? app.ft.com (this is the Financial Times website that downloads like a App to the iOS desktop in iOS6.)

Thanks!

Just tested this. Downloads the app, but when you launch it the home button will not take you back to the desktop. I had to hard reset the phone to leave the app.

 

[stainless]

Just tested this. Works fine.

Many Thanks for the quick reply! Do you mind posting a screenshot of the "save to home screen" or is it just the same as iOS6? Ie. Is it still just as easy (much easier then Android) or one more step complicated?

Good energy to you!

I think it is just a bug. Bring up the control center (or open any app folders) and you can see the wallpaper through it. The new keyboard is translucent, etc. So it is possible but just not working for whatever reason.

Battery and Push Notifications

So far everything has been working fine on mine. I'm using the iPhone 5. The only problem is it is SUCKING my battery life. I had to recharge 4 times today and I barely even used it. It died once and almost a second time.

Also, push notifications don't always come through. I use Whatsapp and most of the time those wouldn't come through. At least when I was waiting for a specific message they wouldn't. They would come through if I opened the app and closed it, then got a message almost immediately following. If I got a message a while after I closed it, it wouldn't push through any other messages until I opened it again. I didn't get a message until 20 minutes later and I opened the app.

It downloads fine (the same way as iOS 6) but you cannot exit the web app. The Home button will not exit the app. Very strange. I had to restart the phone.

 

[boobie12]

So far all apps work fine for me even Netflix. For a beta 1 I'm impressed.

"Zum Home-Bildschirm" = save to home screen
"Hinzufügen" = add

So yeah, it's as easy as it was before.

I think someone here said they could not forward a iMessage. I figured it out. press and hold on the bubble with the text you want to forward, a menu will popup, select more, then the up-arrow on the bottom.

A new message will compose with the selected text included.

 

[chocoyo00]

So is Google+ crashing for everyone else too or just me? I can't use it at all.

 

[dhruveonmars]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this or posted but, on my friends iPhone, instead of the Circle Signal Indicator, it now says GPRS.

 

[Tinmania]

Its not really all that new. (This wasnt system wide in iOS - just the apps listed)

While not new, per se, it is different. The old setting was in the Accessibility menu and allowed for HUGE text sizes. The new setting (Text Size) is in the General menu and allows for larger, but definitely not HUGE text sizes.

There is also still a setting--Larger Text--in the Accessibility menu. In there you can also adjust dynamic type size--same as in the Text Size menu. But there is also a "Larger Dynamic Type" toggle that allows the huge sizes like before.

So, to me it has been modified to be more of a preference for all, rather than something targeted at those with really challenging eyesight.

Anyone find this black mode or whatever it's called, I'm not talking about the invert colors thing. Apparently there was some other feature I guess
