iPhone users, a question

[Forty_Sixand2]

Has iOS 7 been out long enough to get all of the bugs worked out? I have been avoiding the big download but was wondering what you guys all thought. Should I do it now?

You might as well or what you do that works is going to be slower and slower all the apps and functions are being geared to the upgrade. It is a damn if you do damn if you don't but I haven't had many problems.

I think 7.1 was the last one and I have had no issues with it.

It takes a gig of free space to run the install. Does it black that gig for good?

Thanks guys!

I didn't lose any space with ios7, not any amount that was noticeable. I think it just needs to download that then it overwrites on the install.

I don't like 7.1 though. If you can get 7.0.x then I'd do that but good luck. My battery SUCKS on 7.1

Like I unplug it and made 3 texts the other morning and was at 92%. Lost 8% in the span of 5 minutes and 3 texts? And my work email stopped pushing to my phone. Gotta look that one up.

Oh another thing that I did for the first time and I recommend if you are going to upgrade anyways...connect to itunes and upgrade. Then go through and delete all of your texts. Then do a backup of your phone and restore as new.

For some reason when you do a restore as new, it free's up all that space from texts and it really adds up. Just from texting photos and videos I had lost 2 gigs. Deleting alone didn't free up the space, but when I restored the phone it did. Put everything back exactly as it was, but rather than having 2.5 gig of yellow "other" storage it was down to less than .5 gigs

It works fine.

At first the battery drain was insane but it is fine now.

at getting hacked and being obsolete in 5 months...correct I guess, but odd that you compare an operating system to a piece of hardware.

Did you change any settings? DId they sneak another "share your location" thing onto my phone that runs all the time?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Thanks guys. I did what you mentioned FM and here goes nothing!

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Not bad and it isn't sucking down my battery. His do I turn off apps in the background now though. The old way doesn't work.

Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Yes but I am insane about that shit and straight away checked all of that stuff.

Double touch the button and it shows all apps running. You can just swipe them off

Andriod is garbage at best. I have had 4 phones that ran on Andriod and they all sucked. I have had 1 IPhone and it runs with ease and very rarely needs to be rebooted. To each your own.

 

[BF4L]

I always find it funny when my buds say they have no problems with there Android phones. Then we get a multi person text shit on session going and half drop out and reply the next day saying my phone locked up and I could not reply.
