iOS 7.0.2 released. Fixes lock screen bypass bug.

Simon · Sep 26, 2013, 19:30:53

What happened to 7.0.1? Did I miss it?

7.0.1 was for the iPhone 5s and the 5c only.

Simon · Sep 26, 2013, 19:41:13

Oh right. I feel deprived now.

Isn't it a bit silly though, that there's no notification of iOS updates via the device? If it wasn't for you posting, Gary, I wouldn't have known.

There will be, its just a case of it takes awhile to get out to all the phones due to the sheer numbers of iphones. You would probably have got the notification later tonight or tomorrow.

I don't think I've ever seen one before.

I think thats because we generally update so fast because of forum info, Simon.

Lance · Sep 27, 2013, 10:00:29

I had the notification this morning for this.

Simon · Sep 27, 2013, 12:35:13

Is it just me or at location beads reminders not working? I've two or three now, and the little location arrow doesn't appear, and the reminder fails. Reminders are definitely 'on' in location settings.

At location beads?

Simon · Sep 27, 2013, 14:03:47

Bloody phone! Are location based reminders...

I think there is a bug with the gps in iOS 7, I normally use the Strava app for cycling and it keeps dropping the GPS, never had that issue with iOS 6

Simon · Sep 27, 2013, 16:16:54

I think I've found the issue. I'd turned off Background App Refresh to try to save the battery. Turning that back on for the Reminders app seems to have started it working.

I suspect they stagger OTA distribution by blocks of serial numbers otherwise the mobile networks will be screaming that they've been swamped.

Fixes a bug that could prevent iMessage from activating

Simon · Oct 23, 2013, 12:17:06

Well, I hope it also fixes the music player issues, and makes Safari stop crashing on the 4S.

Steve · Nov 14, 2013, 20:34:33

IOS 7.0.4 FaceTime fixes also 6.1.5 similar bug but not sure whether this is restricted to the iPod 4th generation.

Simon · Nov 14, 2013, 20:40:35

Can't say I've ever used Facetime.

And why does a 17Mb update require 808Mb of storage?

Steve · Nov 14, 2013, 21:00:37

No idea why really , it may build the new and complete iOS file image in memory before overwriting the previous version. It probably means that if it fails it can revert back rather then adding the 17mb and then failing and leaving a corrupt OS.

FaceTime , my wife uses it to check the student is looking after himself.

Gary · Nov 14, 2013, 21:11:08

I used facetime to chat with friends that have moved abroad who have iphones, quality leaves skype in the dust.
