It's laggy, yes.

lagginess is from coming from zephyr combined with another tweak. i had a lag issue on my 4s and i forget what other tweak i removed, but once it was gone, zephyr was super smooth.

as for the OP's issue, it quite obviously has nothing to do with zephyr.

Must be the same with Auxo then. I need to wipe my phone . When jb is out for 6.1.1 iPhone 5 then I'm gonna wipe it.
 
I don't have any real issue with Zephyr but find that after having installed Auxo it's becoming increasingly more difficult to "slide up" and reveal the list of open apps, the multitask-list.

If I kill all running apps it's back to normal and only a simple light slide reveals the multitask-bar, obviously empty. It's almost as if a large number of apps makes the slide-up "heavy"

Anyone recognize this?
 
There was an issue with the update 1.5 now it's all good (after they released 1.6)
 
Ok after like 10 updates now the bug is gone.

Does anybody still think that the issue was unrelated to Zephyr? :rolleyes:
 
Can anyone definitely say that zephyr is causing a serious drain on the battery? I'm trying to figure out if it is by uninstalling and reinstalling. So far my battery life is still really bad. I only use Auxo, Hookes law, and f.lux.

No, because on all the devices I put Zephyr on, I never had that issue.

What firmware are you on?

Why not just take it off and leave it off for a couple of charges and see if the battery lasts any better. This is the only app I've not put back on my phone since upgrading to iOS 6.1.1 on my 4S and my battery life has doubled compared to 5.1.1

Yep, leave it on for a few good cycles. Unless your usage is exactly the same everyday then it'll be hard to compare (unless battery drain is really drastic). My battery took a bit of a hit being jail broken and full of tweaks but nothing significant. I can live with it.
 
Lets put it this way, if I turn every radio off on my 4S and just use it as a phone and nothing else I can get 10 days of standby out of it.

On 5.1.1 I would be lucky to get 4 days in standby and no use.
 
Not that you didn't see an increase in standby time but you're comparing ios 5 to ios 6 on a different setup. Many variables there. Just wondering, how do you manage to go without a phone for 9 days? I can't go 9 hours ha :D

Yeah yeah, you don't need to say it again. We all know that just because you didn't experience this bug on all your devices it doesn't exist. :rolleyes:

Seems like you're the only one who has..

I don't see how you experiencing it on 1 device, and I never have on 3 iPhones and 2 iPads doesn't prove you wrong.
 
He's going to believe what he believes.

You're going to believe what you believe.

Neither side has any tangible proof so this debate is pointless.

Both sides are using anecdotal evidence so no one can prove anything.

Sure, so I faked my screenshots...

Anyway, I agree that the discussion is pointless at this time. Now the bug is gone, so...

No one accused you of faking anything. Not that it really matters but those screenshots do not prove a bug in Zephyr is the cause, therefore as the poster above you said, neither of you have any tangible proof.

Your screenshots are not proof.

I know people like to THINK their personal experiences are proof, but they're not.

Real proof is something that can be replicated, tested, and analyzed. No one else can replicate your issue. If more people had the problem, there would be proof.

Also, you can't PROVE that you only have Zephyr installed. And taking a SS doesn't PROVE anything because you could easily uninstall and then do it.

Anecdotal evidence is not proof. You could have a million screenshots and it wouldn't be proof, unless there were other people also experiencing the issue, because that would give your theory weight. Right now, it has no weight.

Note: I'm not saying that you're lying. I'm simply saying you have no proof Zephyr is the cause. I'm glad that the issue got resolved for you.

Personally I think Zephyr is pointless anyway, you can replicate pretty much all it can do for free with Activator and default multi gestures. It wasn't needed in iOS5 and its still not needed in 6, it was a con being charged for it to be honest, pretty much like most other paid tweaks on Cydia these days, worthless. I haven't even bothered reinstalling it since upgrading to iOS6.

Activator is a joke for using as the same gestures as Zephyr. And I don't want to use 2+ fingers to accomplish what I can do with my thumb.

I'm sorry you feel so ripped off because I can honestly say I don't at all and I've spent about 20$ on jb tweaks/aps. Best decision for my iPhone and iPad 4

So according to your standards I should send my phone to a damn lab. Only then we'll have real proof. :rolleyes:

Also, again according to your standars, more people having the problem shouldn't be considered as proof, but as a lot of "personal experiences" or "anecdotal evidence".
