Is it possible to revert to
iOS 6 on an iPhone4? I'm sorry I updated to it as I used to love my 4 but its rubbish now, rubbish childish graphics, slower, worse battery life. I can't find one positive thing to say about it.

Seriously why would the graphics come as a surprise to you, they have been known for months.

As for battery, have you done a hard reset?

I have the 4s, love iOS 7 and would not go back. Control Centre and automatic updates are two best features for me among many.

Not everyone goes on apple.com to see the latest OS, but where did they say it came as a surprise to him/her?.

He was talking about the 4 not the 4s.
Good for you, but he was having issues & generally didn't like it.


Some people get very personal and defensive on this forum.

You don't have to go on Apple.com to see the latest upgrade.

My post is not as personal as yours so I don't see your point.

Don't really care if they like the upgrade or not but a lot of times people just don't like change and complain anyway. To say that iOS 7 as he or she said is simply not true in my opinion.

It's only a few shillings worth of electronics out of Flexcomm in China ~ Apple charge 700 dollars for the USA made operating system.

It's a lot more than that to be fair.

Is anyone else having an issue with the mail app? I keep having to manually mark all emails as read to get rid of the red bubble claiming that I have 2000+ new emails across a few different accounts. I go to edit, mark all as read, that seems to resolve it for a while, then the next time I check, it happens all over again, it'd a tad annoying to say the least. I tried deleting the email account and re-adding it, but it's the same story...

Hi folks. I updated my iPhone last night, and have been having the exact same problem as Wolverine. Could not find any responses to Wolverine's query. Can someone please help?

Many thanks!

Since updating my iPhone 4 I'm having a weird issue where text messages or imessages are being delivered to me but my phone does not alert me to this.

I'm have to open the message app regularly just to see if I've gotten any new messages!

Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can fix it would be greatly appreciated!

This seems to be one of the bigger issues with the update. Supposedly removing the email account and adding it again can fix the issue.

Sorry to hear your not enjoying iOS 7 so far.

I can't help about the graphics. But in regards to battery life and phone speed, my 4s was the same as your 4 after updating. The battery was terrible and the phone was very slow.

I tried a reset by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appeared and it turned back on. It was ok but still not great.

I then backed up my photos, contacts, etc and completely erased the phone and set it up as a new one. I've been delighted with it since then, battery is actually better than ever and the phone runs quick and smooth.

Give both a try and at least you should get your phone working properly again.

You probably have your mail inbox settings set to all just reselect it to whatever account you are using for mail.

It was only turned on with the actual release. The fact that your original cable isn't working suggests there could be a deeper issue. Have you borrowed an official Apple cable from someone to try? If that doesn't work I'd be ringing Apple.

Yes but it was working fine upto friday night/saturday morning. i contacted apple sunday and should hopefully have the box from them tomorrow.

Make sure you haven't accidentally enabled Do Not Disturb. It's the moon icon in Control Centre. Also check that alerts is enabled in Settings > Notification Centre > Messages.

By "removing" do you mean deleting as opposed to turning off?

I never copped in Notification Centre -> Messages that the blue and white diagram at the top is actually how you change the alert type. I was looking for a a different type of menu or switch.

I must have set it to none by accident when looking at that screen. :rolleyes:

Yeah, you remove the whole account by deleting it and then re-add it to the device and that has stopped the huge amount of unread emails showing.

I haven't tried this myself as I didn't have the problem, but I've seen people online saying this fixed it.

This hotmail problem occurred the last time there was an update too. Hotmail is the offender not Apple.

Sorry just after seeing these posts. Yeah it's weird but it didn't happen when I went from iOS 5 to 6. I deleted and readded the email account but it still came back with 2000+ unread emails again. But I found a solution the other day! I deleted the account, but this time I set it up as a outlook.com account as opposed to "other". Now my hotmail and live.com emails are behaving as normal again, no more unsightly red bubbles with 2172 in them. :pac:

Still finding subtle changes that make me love iOS 7 more and more. The old notification banner you'd get up top of the screen, used to be annoying having to wait for it to go away so you could reach the top of the screen. Now you can just swipe it up to hide it right away so you can access the top of the screen. Just something I really liked.

Every time I pick up the iPhone or iPad it's like a new device. Having no major issues with the update so I'm overall happy with the job Apple did this time around. Definitely stepped it up.

Oh nice one, didn't know about that change, used to annoy me too with those banners taking about 5 seconds before they disappeared, that's great that you can clear them instantly now. And I completely agree, the more I use iOS7, the more I fall in love with it, all those little changes have really enhanced the user interface imo.

Any one on a 4s with ios7 find the phone much more sensitive to orientation changes?! It seems to move from potrait to landscape and visa versa earlier/easier than it used to.

I'm using an iphone 4S

When using the lock screen to skip songs I'm finding it very unreliable. Its either skipping songs or playing one for 3-4 seconds and then skipping to the next song. I never had this issue with IOS6. Its seems way to sensitive. Its really annoying because I like to skip through songs quickly on the bus to and from work.

Any ideas how to fix it? I've done a hard reset but no joy.

you could swipe notifications away in iOS 6, it just wasn't obvious.

I really dislike the new style notifications for the following reasons:

1. they STILL block navigation, most apps have navigation in the top half of the screen.
2. they're huge now, blocking even more of the navigation, whereas with iOS 6 you could - with a precisely placed finger - hit the navigation buttons but was tricky.

it's something that I still think is fundamentally broken in iOS.

Muahahaha

anyone had any problems with Spotify on iOS7 ? It keeps crashing on me if I adjust volume when the phone is locked. I've just updated the Spotify app now so heres hoping it stops or I am going to be one very unhappy camper

Have you restarted ? done a hard reset ?

Never realised you could in iOS 6. I understand what you mean about the bigger notifications but the fact I can swipe it away makes it more of a small annoyance. It doesn't happen too often either so doesn't bug me. I think it only makes sense for them to pop down from them top of the screen seeing as you pull down for notification centre.

Was playing it for an hour early this morning - perfect from both the lock screen volume and the control panel volume. Have you done a hard reset ?

I think the android system is better in this regard, a notification takes over the status bar for 2-3 seconds, then leaves an icon to notify you. it can get a bit busy though which is annoying.

interesting problem though.

Out of curiousity, what sort of notifications do people leave on? I switch almost all of them off on my iPad and iPhone.
