iOS7 GM

Recommended Posts

In years past, the GM has been released roughly a week before the OS is available. I would imagine that the announcement on the 10th means that the OS is available on the 11th or 12th, so it's possible that it went GM today. 

 

Apple probably has 7.0.1 in the can, too.

Are you guys having issues with the 3G signal constantly dropping to 1x if there is no strong LTE?  We have two phones running iOS 7 GM and 2 still on 6.  When there is not LTE signal the 2 that are on 7 struggle to get data.  The other two don't have this problem - demonstrated by using all 4 phones to try and get data in the same place - the two that have iOS 6 get 3G, the other two start off with 3G and within seconds drop to 1x and start getting error messages. I spoke to Sprint Tech Support and was told they don't support iOS 7, so I kept quiet waiting for public release. I did a clean install of GM, and both phones still have the same problem.

I have that probably sometimes & im on iOS 7 Beta 6 , what I do to fix that issue is AirPlane Mode I turn it off & on & 3G usually comes back stable & strong.

Running great, although I'm seeing weird glitches. Randomly the device will not unlock by swiping the text message, and other times, when unlocking the screen, the sound does not play.

I think Apple got rid of the unlock sound , I haven't heard it since Beta 5.

Mine has been running smoother than iOS 6, I had 6.0 so I wouldn't lose my jailbreak. I prefer Android over iOS, but is iOS 7 has made leaps and bounds (control center). I upgraded and it had an issue, so I'm on a clean install of iOS 7 and unable to sync with my laptop.

One thing I found interesting about the final release is that it will put a "1x" in the title bar instead of the "o" now.

I like the 1x instead of the GPRS o. Apple should have fixed that when the iPhone 4 came to Verizon a couple years ago.

Out and it's pretty good.  I too noticed the 1x badge and I appreciate the fact that we can get a bit more clarity on that than a dot for people.  It's easier to explain at that point oddly enough.  

 

Good to see the signal dots aren't the only way to view signal strength.  You can still keep tyour dBm rating if you had that enabled in Field Test mode.  

 

Sprint carrier version is now 15.0.  PRL stayed the same for me (60797 on a 4S), FWIW.  

 

Anyone have any info on what they exactly change from carrier version to the next?  Ex.  14.0 -> 15.0

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
