iOS 7 Beta 1: Bugs and Problems
- Thread starter l.w41sh
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Just checked again and I don't get the issue any more. Was there yesterday, might just have required a restart. Plus, I'm running it on iPhone 5 too so it was definitely a bug, not just a slow phone
For everyone having severe battery drainage, what were your steps to resolve it? I just don't feel like reading through all 29 or so pages...
But my battery life SUCKS. Way worse than the iOS 6 beta. I've already tried resetting network settings and that didn't seem to do anything.

They are not exactly blurry. But re-creating my wallpapers at 775x1375 are nicer than the upscaled images used before.
'Weather' location services kills battery
My battery was dead after minimal use in 3 hours. I found that the 'Weather' app under 'Location Services' had a solid purple arrow even though it was not being used. I turned it off and am happy to report that even after streaming iTunes Radio through a bluetooth connection for 40 minutes I was still at 100%.

Yeah, that would be the true multi-tasking. Forgot about that, my battery's not been great so I guess thats why...

What is SiriViewService in the Location Services bit of Settings? Only has a placeholder icon at the moment, I'm guessing that means it's new...?
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but swiping away two or more apps from the new multitasking at the same time causes the iPhone to restart.
Being able to easily close multiple apps at the same time will be really nice when fixed
Try a restart. This works for me without a glitch.
There is no play icon in the status bar to tell you music is playing.

Plus, the volume and control sliders on the lock screen are really hard to slide, it thinks your trying to unlock the phone...

- Force Reboot
- Disable Location Services, Background App Refresh (settings, general)
- Reduce Motion (settings, general, accessibility)
All wallpaper zooms in after clicking on set to home screen or lock screen I really hope they fix this in the final version or upcoming beta update as this issue doesn't exist in ios 6.
Left picture before setting middle and right after setting.
It looks like the new parallax view now requires the background image to be scaled down a bit to allow room for the floating as it tilts effect.
It di though and I remember seeing the time. I had gone to sleep and when I woke up, the times were just dashes. Not a big deal though. Works fine now.
Went to set an alarm. It gave me the option to choose a song, but wouldn't go to my playlist. Battery life is better after turning off location, but still drains quickly. I noticed that in the lock screen, albeit briefly, the do not disturb moon showed up.
Post any problems you experience below.
I had not seen a dedicated thread for this and I know it happens every beta.
Happy testing!
Bugs:
-Phone app. Voicemail tab causing freezing. Text on voicemails are over lapping.
-Settings app. Brightness & Wallpaper wrong lock screen preview.
-Settings app. Notification Center. Does not show preview of Alert Styles.
-Settings app. Wrong app icon for: App Store, Contacts, Calendars, and iTunes Store. (also in iCloud backup tab it does not have an app icon for mail.) (More wrong icons in Restrictions: Camera, FaceTime, iTunes, Siri.)
-Settings app. Restrictions. Keypad for passcode is light grey, hard to see.
-Videos app. Many bugs. Inverting colors, Freezing, Crashing, disappearing episodes.
Messages app. Deleting a text within a conversation crashes it.
-Lockscreen. Clock will overlap music controls.
Having a folder within a full home screen then dragging an app out causes a crash.
I have the same issue. Disabling Location Services and background stuff has helped a bit, but the biggest battery drain is not having good reception in my area.
Supposedly Resetting All Settings in General then Reset has worked for a bunch of people. I'll be trying it once I fully charge my phone.
I'm getting intermittent WiFi drop outs too.
Oh crap, they even took the Memory buttons out of the calculator portrait view. There's all this dead space above the result too. Oh, I see the problem, they're trying for all of these perfect circles and squares for some ridiculous zen that has nothing to do with making this OS useful.

iBooks
Cant see any other mention of this but I have read every page.
Its cutting of the end of the chapters in iBooks, anything from a few lines to a near paragraph.
Phone doesnt always auto lock
Cant get IM+ to work
Unlocks without passcode if responding to a notification
Overall I love it, cant wait for the debugged version and some ap updates
IBooks is driving me a little nuts though

Yes, I had searched in all notifications options! I had tried to reset the network settings too, but it didn't work! So I erased all data and restored a backup. Now it's working ok, but I haven't tried to use airdrop again, yet.
Couple of bugs
iPhone 5
- iMessage ISSUE - ALL of my Messages are being sent via SMS not iMessage...EVEN when im in great network?
- Mail notification (Dismiss /Read) not every time but maybe once in 20 emails, The notification sticks and freezes the OS, I have to restart the phone.
- Siri = worse...I dont see why they cant make her "simple actions" like opening apps and playing music...on the actual phone....it never connects!
- Also siri - Problem hearing what I am saying.. (Very American English Accent) Keeps saying that she didnt understand...
- Google + app doesnt work. Opens and immediately closes
- Weird overlapping glitch on lockscreen when playing music..when press home button, the time is overlapping the music controls...if you hit the home button again it fixes it
- Panorama Lockscreen, its a very cool little feature but if you are holding the phone in a different orientation from the one that you "set" the wallpaper, it clings to one side of the panorama and takes a second to get oriented....they should have it "Stick" the middle of the picture or something...
- Dont know exactly which apps are doing this, but I noticed ALOT of them are going "under" the top "status bar"
- Brightness and volume bars on the Control Panel are weird....they seem to re-adjust the setting to a high level and then you can drag it but some times (from lockscreen) the brightness doesn't "stick" to where you drag it to.
HOWEVER. I love the new OS and think Apple did a great job. (Icons are another story) the experience is so much better and it must have been insanely hard to figure out how much to actually innovate...because you cant go too much or its confusing and if you dont go enough, people complain...
