Ios 7

[XghostzX]

How's everyone liking it? IMO, it's pretty sweet so far. Except it gives me an odd feeling of those nexus phones, with their menus and all. Still a neat update in terms of a new interface and different tap-layouts.

Thoughts?

Edit: Does this IOS 7 update impact the way we play STS' games at all?

Beyond ugly imo. 90% of it was ripped off of other OS anyways, ie the card design for multitasking being entirely taken from WebOS.

I say 90% because the hideous design and color templates they chose certainly were not taken from anywhere else.

Agrees with Mysticaldream.

And my own reason: its not 3D like the other iOS's before it. It looks flat and like the software guys at Apple just said "Eh. Im outta ideas. Lets make stuff simple but add some stuff to make it look not simple"

To Apple if u read this: no offense intended. Plz don't kill me o.o

I feel like iOS7 was designed by a metrosexual or somebody who really enjoys sterile environments. Honestly, I hate the operating system. It's so ugly that it isn't even funny.

David, I know I said that I was done using Android after my Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD debacle, but I am definitely considering it again as everyday, Android just looks better and better with more features to offer me & now with a more intuitive interface.

Now...I'm not sure if I should get the HTC One or the S4, although I'm not a huge fan of plastic phones.

Also, the fading in and out animations were definitely Android rip offs.

Better off to droid, ios7 is much like MIUI in droid.

Tbh, Dont like strict os, jailbreak is dead.

Prefer this open source os, with root. Everything is possible

I use the HTC One and love it. Only downsides are Sense 5 and the 4 "Ultra Pixel" camera. I don't care much for cell phone cameras to begin with (aside from the Lumia 1020's), and easy answer to Sense 5 is to load a custom rom, which I highly suggest for any Android device. If you load CyanogenMod on it, it'll be a dream. Also, they've recently raised $7M for it, so they're going to be pumping even more awesome stuff into it soon.

Here's the site:

The One covers the two most important categories for me, and those are build quality and overall media with those godly speakers.

Waiting for the update itself was a pain.


Not worth it. Guess it's just time for another jailbreak.

My One had shoddy build quality, it was as glued on which i managed to break immediately. I've gone though about 6 phones in the past month just getting a feel for the current ones, my fav and current(think i'll be sticking with this one) is the vivo x3. i wouldnt recommend the s4 or one, only american phone i like is the moto x. i tried a goophone lately, it's literally an iphone with a weaker processor. you can't tell the difference after you take off the goophone sticker on the back(the back has an apple logo under it). there isn't any lag that i could see, a few flash websites were slow. there's no developer support and gl getting the warranty recognized if you do need to use it. i'm honestly into aesthetics of my phone more than anything else.

if you want a guide on customizing your android i can find that, the status bar is literally that black shadow for me. when i pull down text appears in white.

[CrimsonTider]

All 3 of my daughters have iPhones and hate the update. I just smile and walk away. My 2 year old Samsung Nexus still works like a charm.

[Aracnus]

I got it, and was severely disappointed! The color schemes, and the pre-downloaded app layouts just suck now!!

Some good things are the new lock screen, I kinda dig it. Nice and colorful now XD, now you can have more apps in a folder, the new delete task feature, and the cool new bottom slider.
Other than that.. Meh, looks all kiddy now!

[XghostzX]

I've never been a techy-fanatic kinda guy, so I appreciate any technology as long it's working smoothly and running well (and can run for a long period of time make my parent's money worthwhile).

I guess people's expectations for IOS fell apart. I have noticed that those who own Iphone 5's reap most of the neat benefits of ios 7 - those with any generations lower will not.

Again, I'm not going to complain about the interface. I do prefer the old one, but this one have no real effect on me.

[Petrichor]

I think I am the only person here who likes it....wow. The only major negative I have is the fact that my battery is draining faster now than ever before. :/

[BlueSkied]

I don't hate it. But, I only use my apple devices for social media/pl lmao.

I have heard a few issues with some of the Ones issued. Some of the unibodies even had gapping in them.

Absolutely hate Verizon since I can't buy anything they don't carry, but I've been happy with my One thus far. I wasn't too thrilled when I had an S4, too hyped of a phone imo.

One of the best phones I've used was the Oppo Find 5. Interested in the N1 coming in a few days too.

I have to say that Ios 7 looks beautiful :)

Try lower down your brightness

[Aeroflame]

My iphone 4 runs a jailbroken ios 6. I don't want the new ios, and most likely won't get the new iphone 5bs or whatever. What i will get if i intend to play with a phone rather than just do business with it, is most likely a galaxy.

[Trenton]

If you guys really hate it that much, you can still downgrade.

[angeldawn]

I like iOS 7. Some of the coloring bothers me but I'll get past it.

I have the new 5s and I have to say I'm LOVING it!!!

6phones in ONE Month?!

Just get a Nokia. Those things never break

Double post sorry (I'm on mobile app)

I thibk the reason it drains fast is because the sensor that detects gravity and movement has to work all the time (the thing that lets the device know you moved it so it could change the position of the apps to make it look like your looking at it from another angle) so then. The sensor has to work more=faster power drain

I've gone through 6-7 phones in a month. Granted 3 of them were the same phone.

Also, Nokia's build quality is either a hit or miss. Nokia 3310s never break, not all Nokia phones as a whole.

You're talking about the accelerometer.

Yeah I read that online, apparently there's a way to turn it off.

I personally think it looks great. Can't wait to get my first iPhone next February. I like how simple it is...I always thought the other versions looked kind of sloppy.

[Caiahar]

My IPad is still Ios 5.something I think, I never bother to update it.
I gotta love my brothers tablet (NOT THOSE NEW ONES :D) and my galaxy player 5.0 :)

[The Sadness]

You updated?

[Caiahar]

You updated?
Meh...I HAD to update the iPad to ios 7..since my iPad was on ios 5. Nativex plat offers doesnt support ios 5 :(.
I needed that plat, thus I updated.
Its...ok..
