Hi Sherry, The sensitivity issue and a bunch of other stuff was fixed in iOS 7.03 which was released last Tuesday. Just make sure you sync and back up your phone. I also usually take a major iOS upgrade as an opportunity to clean up and maybe remove apps I haven't really used, if you want them again down the road they are yours to redownload without cost.
Once that is done, do the following, not all of it might help, but nothing will hurt: 1. Make sure your phone is plugged in to power even if the battery is fairly full this is not a bad idea. 2. Turn off Bluetooth if it's on 3. Bring up the app switcher and close all apps. 4. Go into Settings, General, Reset, double tap Reset Network Settings and confirm. This will reboot your phone, you will have to reconnect to your WiFi including reentering your WiFi password. If you don't want to do that, at least power off the phone after you empty the app switcher, wait 30 seconds and turn it back on. 5. Go into Settings, General, Software Update and double tap Install, agree to the licence terms and then put your phone down and forget about it for an hour or so. If the update has already downloaded it may not take that long and of course if you are right there and you hear Voiceover come on it's OK, but don't panic if it doesn't come on for a long time. Alternatively you could of course connect your iPhone to your computer and do the update by clicking the "Check for updates" button in iTunes. If you decide to upgrade via iTunes which will give you more feedback, make sure you are using the latest version which is 11.1.2, this actually seems to have just come out. I wanted to check the exact version for you and when I opened iTunes it came up and told me that 11.1.2 was available and did I want to download it. I am just doing that now, so if you upgrade via iTunes make sure you do the update before. Once the update has finished and your phone is back up and running I would do another complete power off and restart, if not right away then do it maybe that night or the next night, but sometimes little things seem to be happening which often go away if you restart the phone. Good luck, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sherry Gomes Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2013 11:49 AM To: viphone Subject: updating my iOS Hi all, I didn't upgrade to IOS 7 when it came out. I tend to hesitate to upgrade any operating system, be it windows or iPhone. I like to sit back and listen to feedback, good and bad, before jumping. And at the time the upgrade came along, I was getting ready to move and would be without land line and internet for a few days, so I wanted to make sure there would be no trouble with my iPhone during the process. Well, I'm settled at last and have a quiet weekend coming up. Also, some of my apps won't update since I'm still running 6. something. So, I have an iPhone 5. Is there anything I should be concerned about as I do the upgrade? I've upgraded a couple times before, once with no issues and once with a lot of trouble and having to restore the phone and all and try again. I've also read a lot on this list about extra sensitivity of gestures with the upgrade. any very good or very bothersome things about the upgrade. anything important I should do before upgrading. I'm recovering from dental surgery this weekend, so it's a good time to play with the phone!
