The iOS7 sucks thread

Anyone else make the mistake of upgrading an older handset (4S) to the new OS?

Two glaring problems that I've experienced in the first day after the upgrade:

Battery Life is nonexistent. The battery is discharging at a rate of 1% per minute. Yes, full charge to discharged in less than 2 hours. Location Services and Bluetooth are off. Awesome.
External Speaker only works for the phone ringer and Siri. I thought the speaker was damaged somehow, but this is a software problem as ringtones and Siri work fine. No music, YouTube, etc. Headphones work fine.

Anyone else having problems?

Not on my droid!:D

Sorry...couldn't resist.;):p

iPhone5:

Battery life depleting fast!!

I can't type on the keyboard even though it's the same. I keep getting crazy misspelled words or spaces between in the letters.

NO SEARCH THE INTERNET function on the search bar, only phone. It has to be here somewhere! I used this all the time, probably my most used feature.

Well played sir

Also, I can't turn the phone off.

Holding the power button, then "slide to power off" only results in a hard reset back to power on, not powering the device off.

Since my upgrade, I keep getting instagrams from Steve Jobs through my tinfoil hat. :confused:

I don’t remember seeing this listed under the enhancements list. :D

Never fly the "A" model of anything, and never be the first to upgrade any operating system.

Sending all your data to the NSA takes a lot of juice, what did you expect?!?

Problem: Battery Life. iOS upgrades often lead to battery life issues for certain users and this version is no different. Along with the bunches of people who reported battery drain with the upgrade, Ars Technica's tests on its own devices found that all of its devices were "negatively impacted by the iOS 6 to iOS 7 transition." The iPhone 5 dropped from 661 minutes battery life on iOS 6 to 444 minutes with iOS7. Lifehacker said the drain was particularly bad on the iPad, which seems to be having the most problems with the new operating system.

Fix: iMore has a rundown of habitual changes you can make to increase battery life, like using your phone less, plugging in more, and turning off any thing that might drain the battery. The "App Background Refresh" feature, which keeps apps running and refreshing in the background, is also a huge suck, according to LifeHacker. To turn that off, head to: Settings > General >Background App Refresh and toggle the setting to off.
