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

    • Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
