If your not running the latest beta I'm not really sure what the point is. Beta 3 is actually pretty stable but still has a bunch of bugs.

 

I would suggest running iOS 7 with a fresh install anyways. So it won't actually matter.

You generally can't downgrade but Apple always makes the final release available to beta devices, though sometimes you have to restore with iTunes if something is completely busted.

If you need a Sprint 6.X IPSW file, I can download one and you can roll back.

 

Being an iOS developer has it's benefits. :)

You can roll back as a developer? :o

 

I've actually been wanting to go to 6.1.2 because I'm on 6.0.1. There are a few bugs I want to get rid of. I can't because 6.1.2 isn't signed anymore though.

 

:-(

I can only grab the latest version of iOS6.

 

I just restore from the iOS6 IPSW file, then restore content & settings from iCloud. I had to do that when I realized my corporate email & VPN soft token wouldn't work w/IOS 7.

Oh darn.

 

At least there's a way of going back to iOS 6 if someone wanted to try the Beta.

You can download the old ipsw's from many places. As a non-dev, I cannot do shit with them since Apple changed their signing mechanism again, a while ago.

 

I also did not know devs could get old ones signed and installed. I would pay for a dev license to be able to install old ipsw's in the event, for example, I broke a jailbroken device and replaced it only to find the new model came with 6.1.4 ;)

 

If you had a dev license and the correct 6.1.2 ipsw for the device, can you install it?

No, you cannot. Apple developers do NOT have any special privileges as far as downgrading firmware.

If you update to iOS 7 beta (or 6.1.4 for that fact), on a device with an A5 chip or higher, you cannot restore to anything but the latest iOS 7 beta or iOS 6.1.4.

That's what I thought. I had a glimmer of hope I'd missed something really cool ;) Ah, well.

 

Speaking of, how DO developers maintain compatibility with older firmwares across devices, if they can't install old IPSWs? Does the simulator function well enough that it is irrelevant? Or is that part of why apple passively forces users into FW & SW upgrades, so that the burden on devs is less? I guess a serious dev would only need one of each supported device, rather than have to hop FW & SW revs.

You keep older devices around on older OSes. They've improved the simulator a lot though; it now supports installing various older OS releases. If needed, you can buy an old 3GS running iOS 4 for cheap.

 

The reality is 95% of all iOS devices are running iOS 6 so supporting older OSes past that isn't terribly relevant. They also are pretty good about maintaining stable APIs and deprecated stuff is often available for several major releases before it goes away. In practice, I've only ever run into OS version issues one time. If you dont have experience developing for other platforms, let me just say it seems like a miracle.

Can anybody confirm the old field test trick for dBm meter instead of bars (now dots) still works in ios 7? I can't get it to work anymore.

 

When I hit the power button, whilst in Field Test mode, then hold the home button to close the FT app, it just resets the app and doesn't close to the home screen. Thus, not allowing me to keep the dBm meter, which reverts back to the dots.

 

Is there another procedure now in ios 7, to force-close an app?

Just tried it out. The old method still works for me.

If you guys run into problems with the network on iOS 7, I just got off the phone with a very nice rep who suggested running the PRL update ##update#, then if you're still having trouble, wiping the network settings via ##clear#.

PRL update and reset network settings are standard, first level attempts to fix issues like you're having. I just quoted you in the other iPhone thread, but has your issue been fixed by using those methods? If not, call them back and make sure they have the proper ICCID activated on your account (ICCID can be found at Settings - General - About).

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
