I love these kind of messages. Not. Staying with 6 is of course your 
choice. But somewhere down the line you will be made to upgrade. Newer 
devices come with newer versions of iOS and there's no way back. Just my 
£0.02 worth and I will continue to upgrade my devices even if I have to 
work around issues.

Re: iOS browsers was Re: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi!

I’ve already bugged this the first time I browsed with iOS  using Safari when 
iOS 7 was released. I’m sure they’ll get around to it, but I wish it’d be 
sooner rather than later, since it really is an ugly experience.

I’m using another browser for the time being, and it works, but it’s certainly 
a workaround. The only reason I actually mention it is because I’m curious if 
anyone’s experienced something similar to this. If someone who browses 
frequently with Safari has not experienced this behaviour, the performance 
problems may be difficult to reproduce, and would certainly be part of the 
reason it has not been fixed yet.

Regards,
Nicolai

Hi all
Have you considered either Chrome or Instabrowser as your "second" 
browser for iOS? Granted you can't make them default browsers but they 
may work better with VoiceOver. I of course realize this is only a 
workaround and doesn't solve the current problems and so writing to

is encouraged.

I have an iPod Touch and am finding my device mutes itself. I can't get it back 
on until I plug it into my computer. To my knowledge, iPod Touch does not have 
a mute switch.

I get messages that something timed out when I have been reading a book and 
done nothing else.

Some strange things happening I've not seen  after the latest update. I know 
there are others but writing on the fly and can't think of others at the moment.

Re: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!

[Sarah k Alawami]

Hmm. can't reproduce the second bug. I hear all game sounds when playing dice 
world. using 7.1.1 on an iphone 5.

IO can reproduce the first bug. All I do to fix it is turn the voice over 
volume up after doig a 2 finger swipe up.

Take care.

RE: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!

[Ray Campbell]

Hi Chris:

Two other things I've noticed since updating to IOS 7.1.1.  First, I should
tell you my wife's iPhone 5 didn't update properly and we had to connect it
to iTunes and do a restore/update to 7.1.1.  She lost several contacts as a
result of it.

Onto the two bugs.  First, on my wife's phone when she sends a text message
using the dictate feature, the VoiceOver volume goes down.  She has a mild
to moderate hearing loss and this can be problematic.  The only way she's
gotten the VoiceOver volume to come back up to where she had it is to make a
phone call.

Second, on both of our phones, we've notice when playing the DiceWorld app
games while using headphones, we don't hear the game's sounds.

Thanks,

Subject: IOS 7, probably the most buggy I've ever seen yet!

OK, I've been using I O S since I O S 3.X if that tells you anything.  So,
needless to say, I've really seen Voiceover evolve, and I O S evolve as well
in general.

I've always loved I O S.  Never have I shamed it like some techy snobs do
who feel like it's too locked down, get Android, Ajpple wants to cheat
people, yoddie yodda.  I'm sorry.  I don't think one mobile platform's
better than the other.  They both have their plusses.  However...

This being said, I must say, this last I O S 7 update, at least on my IPhone
5S has almost caused me to  reconsider that above statement.  I'm not saying
that these bugs are happening for everyone, and before anyone asks, yes, I
have indeed restored to factory default, and not even rolled back from a
backup, and it did no good.

Siri

Siri has become more of a joke lately than it has a help.  Even in a quiet
environment, half of the time, Siri not only doesn't hear me correctly, but
a lot of the time, she doesn't even hear me at all.  A lot of times, even
when the phone is not even close to my ear, and the proximity sensor isn't
even remotely close to being covered up, it still routes Siri through my
earpiece rather than through my loud speaker.

Ring VS Vibrate

This hasn't cropped up until recently, and it's extremely rare, but it does
happen, thus, I do have to document it.  Even when my mute switch is
disabled, meaning, my phone is not on silent mode, the phone still only
vibrates.  I don't even have vibrate enabled under settings>sound unless
it's in silent mode.

Alarm Clock

Thank God for 3rd  party apps, as I cannot seem to get my alarm clock
working anymore.  I think it may have worked once and once only since the
latest 7.1 build update.

Touch ID

I'm finding that half of the time, scanning my finger print produces the msg
to try again even though my finger is dead smack centered on the home key.

Connectivity

Almost constantly! I lose internet connection.  My wifi itself never
disconnects, however the dhcp seems to quit being auto detected.  No, it's
not a router issue, as none of my other non I O S devices have this problem.
Yes, I tried resetting network settings, and it did no good.  Yes, I reset
the router.  No good.  Yes, I changed the wifi channel.  NO good.  Yes I
changed the wifi protocol.  NO good.  Yes I changed the SSID.  NO good.
Yes, I updated my router to the most recent firmware.  NO good.  Even on
LTE/4G, I find my internet going away almost constantly.  Even a reset by
pressing and holding lock and home together does no good.  Resetting the
springboard with a quintupple rapid press of the lock key doesn't work
either 3 fourths of the time.  I literally have to shut the phone off, wait
about a minute, then turn it back on, and usually! key word, usually! it
regains internet access at that point.  I find that bluetooth is
disconnecting more frequently, and the dis  tance range isn't near as good.
I get no more than 10 feet away, and it usually poopoos out.

Audio quality with Voiceover

Ever since the 5C and 5S have come out, I've found that turning up the
volume really high causes distortion in both models.  Well, as of the latest
7.1 update, I'm finding that it's gotten ever so slightly worse.  It's very
suttle, but I can definitely tell from 7.0 to 7.1 it's gone down hill.  Plus
it sounds way more compressed even on the high quality premium voices.

Bad pronunciation

Now, we have this issue with Symantha saying Convella instead of convert.
What the bloody heck!  Apple said they'd fix it, yet, I've not seen a fix.

On the plus side

I will! give Apple credit on one thing.  The bluetooth bug we had in the
last build indeed has been completely rectified which is absolutely awesome!

I dono what's left to do aside throw this phone across the room.  LOL!
