May update na pala from 7.0? Meron naman camera button sa lockscreen ang 7.0 di ba? Kapag nasa homescreen ang ipad, yung transition from portrait to landscape or vice versa is quite rough unlike the very smooth transition of iOS6. Nacorrect kaya ito dyan sa 7.0.2 or ist because of hardware issue? My ipad being the 3rd version.

rough din sa ipad ko transition. parang nagiging android na. meron na ba sa ios 7? hindi ko napansin ung camera button. i thought nasa swipe up lang.

[QUOTE]11 Tips to Keep iOS 7 From Destroying Your Battery Life



While your iPhone's new operating system comes with plenty of advantages, iOS 7's not without its drawbacks. Battery life just ain't quite what you'd want it to be, but we've got some tips to squeeze the most out of that sucker and stay juiced all day long.

Many of iOS 7's fancy new features are handy if you need/want them. If you don't, they're just eating away at that precious battery life behind the scenes, and give you exactly zero help for your trouble. So shut 'em down.

Turn off parallax

Parallax is fun, but it's the definition of "extra." And maybe it even makes you dizzy. Who needs it? Not you. You can turn it off in accessibility settings, by going to Settings>>General>>Accessibility and setting Reduce Motion to on.



Turn off AirDrop/Bluetooth if you're not going to use it

AirDrop is great when you are AirDropping. The rest of the time it's just fidgeting in its seat, looking for another device to play with. Turning it off is easy, just swipe up your Control Center, and hit the toggle.

Stop searching for Wi-Fi

There's no need to have your phone searching for Wi-Fi when there's no trusted network in sight. You'll save yourself some trouble if you get in the habit of turning of Wi-Fi from the Control Center when you leave the house. Alternatively, you can go to Settings>>Wi-Fi and turn Ask to Join Networks to off. This way your phone will hop on Wi-Fi networks it knows, but won't look around for more without direct orders.



Disable location services (for apps that don't need it)

Google Maps needs to know where you are, yes. But Facebook? Hop over to Settings>>Privacy>>Location Services to get a full list of the apps that are asking about where you are. You can probably turn off about half, and cut down on a lot of GPS polling.



Turn off background app updates

Immediate app updates are rarely a huge deal, but having enough battery always is. Go to Settings>>iTunes & App Store and then scroll down. You'll see Updates under Automatic Downloads. Turn it off. Just don't forget to stop by the App Store and update manually now and then.



Turn off background app refreshing

The brutal downside of good multitasking is running things in the background (duh). But if you go to Settings>>General>>Background App Refresh, you can disable background-runnin' for the apps that aren't important. Or all of them if you want to go all the way.

Disable auto-brightness

Chances are, auto-brightness keeps you more well-lit than you need to be. You can shut it off and get your mood-lighting on by going to Settings>>Wallpapers & Brightness and flipping the toggle. While you're there, crank that backlight alllll the way down, or as far down as you can handle. If you step outside, that's what the Control Center is for.



Go on a push notification diet

Not every app needs to push its notifications; that stuff takes power. Go to Settings>>Notification Center and scroll down to the Include section. Then go on a toggling spree.



Don't push; fetch

If your email isn't that important, or you have a couple of accounts, go turn the low-priority ones to Fetch instead of Push, which means your phone will go retrieve mail at set intervals instead of having it pushed to you every single time Uncle Harry or a spambot blasts you. This one is pretty dependent on how often you get emails and how crucial they are, so you'll have to feel it out, but you can set to fetch in Settings>>Mail, Contacts and Calendar>>Fetch New Data



Turn off Siri's "Raise to Speak" feature

If you want Siri to eat less of your precious battery, turn off his or her Raise to Speak feature in Settings>>General>>Siri>>Raise to Speak. Or, if you're really not fond of the dude/lady turn him/her off to go dream of electric sheep.



Turn off 4G (if times are tough)

Disabling 4G is going to hurt a little but, but desperate times can call for desperate measures and LTE is a battery-burner. You can choke off the data-hose by going to Settings>>Cellular>>Enable LTE/Enable 4G

11 Tips to Keep iOS 7 From Destroying Your Battery Life

apple should have increase the battery capacity instead of turning off so many things,.

[Jim Cainglet]

As of now, bigger battery capacity means bigger and thicker phone.. They should develop batteries with high mAH in smaller size.

No, your iOS7 Apple device isn't waterproof

Attention, iPhone and iPad owners: don't fall for ads that claim an upgrade to iOS 7 will make your devices waterproof.

The claim is a prank that - unfortunately for those who fell for it - closely mimics the feel of Apple's advertising, Sky News reported this week.

Sky News said the ad made the rounds of social networking sites and claimed that upgrading to iOS 7 will install a "smart switch."

It said the smart switch was supposed to cut off the phone's power supply when it detects water, and prevent damage to the device's circuitry.

But some unlucky owners who fell for the prank and tested the waterproof feature ended up with ruined iDevices, the report said.

Apple released iOS 7 last week and issued an update, iOS 7.0.1, to address initial bugs found in the original version.

iOS7 lock screen flaw found in latest update | SciTech | GMA News Online

iOS7 lock screen flaw found in latest update
October 1, 2013 7:19am
22 180 0 360
Another update, another flaw found.

This seems to be the case yet again with iOS 7, Apple's latest operating system for mobile devices like the iPhone and the iPad.

Enthusiast site iDownloadBlog.com said the latest bug was found in iOS 7.0.2, the latest update Apple had rolled out to squash the pesky lockscreen bug.

"If there’s one bright spot about this latest vulnerability, it is that it doesn’t expose anything outside of the Phone app to would be snoopers, and you can nix the bug by disabling Siri access from the Lock screen. Still, Apple’s security team can’t be happy about this," it said.

The site cited one Dany Lisiansky, who posted the steps on a YouTube video, adding it had verified the steps and they "do work."

It said one can trigger the bug by making a phone call with Siri or Voice Control; clicking the FaceTime button; clicking the Sleep button; unlocking the iPhone; answering and ending the FaceTime call at the other end; wait a few seconds; and getting into the phone app.

"While it’s true that you can only use Siri to dial contacts, this bug allows anyone to see your entire list of contacts, your call history, even your voicemail," it said.

Another enthusiast site, CultofMac.com, voiced concern over the bug.

"While it’s not the easiest lock screen hack to perform, then, it’s still a concerning one. But if Apple’s last update is anything to go by, it’s likely this vulnerability will be fixed fairly soon. In the meantime, you can eliminate any risk on your own device by disabling access to Siri from the lock screen," it added. - ELR, GMA News
