Mook Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Facebook never really quits though - the little sodding app still pulls notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I thought push notifications were handled with by a native iOS process rather than than Facebook itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 You have to switch off any FB preferences within the app itself. They're off in the OS settings (I have all push notifications switched off) but the feckin thing still clocks up however many notifications I've got. FB are a law unto themselves when it comes to doing stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 There was an update to the Facebook app yesterday, don't know if it's fixed the battery problem or not, seems about the same on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 So iOS 7 beta 3 was released yesterday (I think, could be Monday) and it seems to have solved all the little niggles and problems I was having with beta 1 & beta 2. The system fonts have changed too and in my opinion they look great. The phone feels a bit quicker now and it doesn't randomly pause like it would from time to time. iMessage had a funny 10 minutes after installing the new beta and would refuse to send any messages but it sorted itself and has been fine since.

Mook Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not updated it yet, but holy crap it can't be any worse than v2. Crashes my iPhone 4 daily (forced reboots) and hangs a lot. I'm going to see how v3 is and then either persist or go back to iOS 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Everyone I know with a 4 or 4S said that beta 2 was a bit of a disaster for them but beta 3 seems to be tonnes better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Beta 2 was better for me. Beta 1 killed my battery daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Beta 1 killed my battery, Beta 2 killed the functionality of my phone. Beta 3 first impressions are - I've got my phone back, woohoo! And they've got rid of that annoying .co.uk button on Safari search that I pressed with my thumb every time I meant to hit "space". Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Beta 3 - I've lost a couple of apps, but overall feels much better, been running a few hours and phone hasn't crashed once which is a significant improvement over beta2. It definately feels faster, noticably so after 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I still don't get why anyone other than a developer would want to risk running a Beta product, especially an OS, on what is a primary communications device. I couldn't even think of taking the risk. It'd be bound to crash when I was doing something important on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's interesting. It'd be bound to crash when I was doing something important on it. That's not been my experience. Bear in mind the public betas are fairly well developed - they're beyond the Microsoft equivalent preview for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've not had an IOS beta before but was shocked how bad they were. A dev I know thinks its been the worse up to 3 for a good while. Mine seems to randomly switch off for no reason and not come back on easily other than that its a vast improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'll admit the iOS7 hasn't been as solid as the previous ones, but then again it's a massive change, rather than a feature-add release. To be fair, if mine annoys me I can stick my hand in a drawer and pull out another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The last three have been basically the same IOS though if you think about it, so most of the bugs will have already been ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Does anyone else now have a top button thats less than responsive? Looking forward to the next release, maybe some of my apps will work :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I only have a couple of apps that don't work, phone now seems faster but I do get random crashes now as I cannot trace them to any particular actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Does anyone else now have a top button thats less than responsive? Looking forward to the next release, maybe some of my apps will work :D It's a fairly common problem with the iPhone 5. Do you find it'll work better if you push a particular side of the button rather than the top of the button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 most of the bugs will have already been ironed out. They're funking well not though! Daily crash sir? No problem. Randomly quitting apps? That's our speciality. Fortunately I was on holiday last week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's not an issue, per se - I don't live by my phone - it's just funking annoying and I've gotten used to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
