iOS 7 First Impressions

It isn't the fact that it doesn't automatically send it that is the problem. I couldn't even select the message and choose to send it as a text without changing the option (not sure if I can now that it is changed, as I haven't had a message fail again).

Ah, gotcha -- I recall doing a tap-and-hold on a message in iOS6 which allowed me to send as text. Haven't had one fail yet to test it on 7.

Just had another one fail, and I didn't have that option. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing. There is an icon that allows me to retry or send as email. If I hold on the message it only gives a copy and a more (which takes you into the edit part where you can only delete multiple messages).

Absolute lunacy!

I'm finding a lot of annoyances. Like starting an email from photos, going into something else to grab some info, going back in (checked Photo AND Mail apps) and the email was...gone. Arg!

Overall I've gotten used to the workflow. I still have misfires with pulling down for search my iPhone and swiping up and stuff. I also find the animation annoying, like pulling around the bubbles in an SMS conversation.

I really dislike yahoo being the default search. I've started using the Google Search app now because of it.

EDIT: I actually just checked the settings and you can change it to Google. Good thing, I don't like the Google Search app even if Google Now looks decent.

Yea, you've always* been able to change it.

*Since like... iOS 3?

I just never remember having to because Google was the default.

You've been able to change it since the first iPhone release from Yahoo or Google. I think iOS 4 added Bing.

Mine didn't reset when I upgraded to a 5S. It stayed Google.

 

[smackababy]

I didn't go to a 5S, just upgraded to iOS 7 on a 5.

 

[bearxor]

I definitely didn't have that reset when i upgraded my 5 to iOS 7.

Images are blown up and cannot be resized for BG use. It sucks... and turning off that 3D icon motion option didn't solve it.

I'll have to check that out when I get home, I've just been using the stock ones so far since they're fairly pretty.

Yeah, it's a few seconds on my iPhone 4 too. It just hangs for several seconds so it seems like the phone crashed or something. I thought it was just the iPhone 4 because of it's single-core 800 MHz CPU, but I guess not.

I'll have to check again with the iPad 2.

It hangs for about a second after I tap the thumbnail on my iPhone 5, so it seems there is at least some lag on all devices but more on older models.

Anyone else think iTunes radio sucks ass? Crashes, loses connection, stops playing randomly and it has a library of about 12 songs.

Seriously it plays the same songs from the same albums from about 6 artists over and over. It's terrible. Back to Pandora and iHeart.

It gets better. It may be getting slammed right now due to all the people having just updated. Early in the betas, it was just like that; poor selection, and weird crashing. But just before the official release it was really great. So it will come back.

 

[Ns1]

are the music controls from the lock screen fucked for anyone else?

they don't fucking respond on my phone.

 

[Subyman]

Touchid is acting up today. My hands are dried out and it's been hit or miss. Guess I need to pack lotion to use my phone lol.

Anyone having issues with battery level reporting. I had one the other day where the batt level bounced from 16% to 31%, then back to 16%. I'm also getting the old (iOS 3 or 4 behavior) of batt level going from 20% down to 5% (or so) very quickly. And I've had a few cases where the phone will die when the level is at 5ish%.

Also, if my phone dies (5), I can no longer charge it on my iHome clock. I have to get it back on by plugging it into the wall. Then once it comes back, I can charge it with the clock. Never happened with iOS 6.

Arg, putting in alarms stinks now. I liked the old dial system with the visuals. Bah on borderess white, I'm too old for this stuff! Haha.

The Settings gear icon is animated during the update process. Nice.

I don't have much of a delay for the wallpaper loading on my iPad 2. However, that may be due to the size of the pix on there.
