Ask your stupid iOS 7 question here!

[KeanosMagicHat]

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the animation that happens after unlocking during which the home screen icons fall/slide into place? It makes my iPad 2 unusuable for about one second after unlocking, which sounds small but is pretty annoying since iOS 6 was usable instantly.

Checking the option to disable motion in the Accessibility options in Settings does not disable this animation.

Reduce motion is to disable the Parallax depth effect I'm afraid rather than animations. There have been quite a few complaints on here of a lack of smoothness with the animations.

Is anyone else experiencing very noticeable dropped frames? iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 spits and stutters like Android versions of yore. There's no way 60fps is being maintained throughout.

Yes several threads on here are discussing the same subject, so you're not alone.

Permission to ask a stupid question. Thank you, OP!

is there a way to get the Twitter & Facebook widgets enabled into the notification center? I cant for the life of me find it in Settings. I had them before I updated.

They have been removed from iOS 7. Don't know whether they're returning.

Is there another way to access the control center besides dragging up from the bottom of the screen? The drag area is so small and far down that my Otterbox Defender renders it inaccessible.

Not that I've seen, sorry . . .

In the new "Coverflow", what order is it showing my albums in? It seems random, but the order never actually changes. Always the same, perplexing, "order".

Thanks!

Someone help me locate the Private Browsing option in Safari.
Using ipad w/ this option turned on but don't see where I can toggle it off/on.

Apparently it's within safari toolbar somewhere...?

Nope, that's why Spigen is really advertising their tough armor to be iOS 7 friendly. Check out their videos. Otterbox sucks.

I was told it would sort by release date.

my email sound has been selected for the new sound but each time I send a email to test out to my iPhone 4 I still hear the old previous sound..

Anyone know why?

Same here

Can't get airdrop to work, won't see iphone 5 on same wifi network, both phones have it as contacts only with blue booth and wifi on?

If you get an answer please let me know if you have time . Using two new iphone5s with ios7 ...same wifi ....thanks

In the music app, if I choose "Artists" then pick an artist, the albums are indeed in release date order (which is silly, but that's a debate for another time). But the new "Coverflow" order is definitely not sorted by release date.

Album Name - on Beta 5 it used to centre on the "Now Playing" Album.

It doesn't any more, which is annoying.

Aha; bingo; awesome. Interestingly enough, it puts album titles with numbers at the beginning of their title at the end of this new Coverflow instead of the beginning...strange.

Thanks man!

On the bottom right click the the squares that intercept each other and on the bottom left you'll see an option that says private.

Anyone know how to get your journey home to display on the Today tab in notifications, I've added my home address to my contact details and set that as "Me" but still not working for some reason.

It takes several weeks to learn your driving habits. Give it a couple weeks.

what about my menstruation cycles?

Guess I will try here since questions about Safari have gone unanswered. Whatever one posts, it just gets buried quickly but at least this thread shows some promise of that not happening.

I have a Mini. Can the address bar for the web page be hidden so there is more real estate?

Also, I cannot get the open web pages to show in the new index tab feature so I can swipe out what I am done with instead of having to hit 'X' on each of the opened links.

Lastly, the old Safari had a bookmarks bar besides just bookmarks. Where did that go?

Thanks for any help!

Is there any way to get lyrics to songs to automatically pop up when listening to music? I believe I read there's a way to copy/paste them into iTunes, but is there any other, easier way?

I have auto updates on for my apps. where's the list so i can see what's been updated?

Open the App store and click the Updates tab on the far right bottom.

 

[iWaldo]

I'm not sure what Otterbox Defender is, but yes, that's the only way. You kind of have to just get used to it. It's a little weird to activate at first until you know exactly what movement to use.

Bummer. It's a case, of the rugged and therefore bulky sort. It's never blocked the notification center, but I have to take it off to get to the control center...

 

[b_scott]

Could be a problem with Apple's servers. Did you try wifi and cellular?

yeah. works now though, probably the servers...

 

[barcode00]

The app has just been updated the the App Store.

I think that means the app just got updated.

Thanks, both.


How can I get the date to display below the time (on the lock screen)?

I have no iTunes Radio. US, Chicago. Updated over Wifi.

Hard rebooting with Home and Wake fixed it.

Restart your phone, then check again.

Hold the home and power buttons until the screen turns off, then keep holding until the Apple logo reappears.

I don't have ios 7 yet, but my question is did apple finally give us the option to select text message colors, menu colors, or at least a theme color that will change these? I am assuming yes since this is 2013; I really hope I am correct. Crossing my fingers.
