How can reducing brightness take longer when you just have to swipe up and then drag left?

Is it just me that finds common things more difficult than before?

Reducing brightness takes longer, as does changing apps. Two things which I do a lot.

It's ****ing annoying.

I can't see how either of those two things are slower on iOS 7. Both work faster for me.

The drag up is less reliable than the old double click home or 4 finger drag up.

Anyone installed it on Ipad2, worried about it slowing it down even more, than it already is.

Runs very well on mine, though I didn't think it was slow to start with.

Well here goes, been having problems today anyway, cant even close apps, even after softreset. Click the cross and nothing happens. Youtubes decided to stop playing any videos as well.

Runs very well on an iPad mini, which is the same as an iPad 2 pretty much.

my iPhone 4S had a totally flat battery this morning. It had a full charge are 7PM and by 8AM was so flat it needed 20 minutes of charging before it switched on. Looks like it downloaded 7.02 all by itself overnight as it then invited me to install it. Glad it was via wifi and not 3g.

Like most here, I find the colours of ios7 very odd. I also hate the words chosen in things like deleting emails and SMS where it invites you to trash them.

Have to say my iPhone does not feel so special anymore.

I've got a jailbroken 4S and tempted to give iOS7 a go but reading things like this does make me have second thoughts.

Is it possible to put iOS 6 back on if I don't get on with it?

Omg wtf have they done, before i can even explore where have they moved the lock rotate to.

Edit never mind found that, nice control centre, swiping upto close apps is nice, how it only shows three per screen is horribale, and everything in the os is to bright and to spaced out.
And more baffaling is the icons and keyboard they just look nasty, going to take some getting used to visually.

humph why did i upgrade.

Control centre.

Has the calendar changed? I used to just tap a day and it lists what was on at the bottom of the screen. Trying to find when I was next meeting with a client earlier involved going in a day, scroll, out the day, and so on, for 3 weeks of individual days. Am I doing it wrong?

Click the magnifying glass top right for a decent condensed view of upcoming events. A bit odd but not terrible.

Something I've picked up.. If you type a message in landscape, then switch the phone to portrait it will lose your half of the messages until you tap the screen.

It's not too annoying but it happens more than I would assume it should. 7.0.2 (iPhone 5).

Does anyone have any recommendations for dynamic wallpaper sites? I find the bubbles stock ones a bit boring.

Somnambulist · 4 Oct 2013 at 18:56

Dynamic wallpapers are locked off only to Apple at the moment, so until they open that up you're stuck with the bubbles.

That's great, much easier. Thank you!

Maybe I'm a bit weird but I rather like the calendar app!

Just realised, but if you want to bring the buttons back up in Safari, you don't need to scroll up slightly, you can just tap the bottom of the screen. Everybody probably already knew that however

Md you can swipe left/right from the edge of the screen, to go foreword/backwards.

Any news on when 7.03 is going to be released, its such a buggy os its doing my head in.

Within the next week or two I've read on the news sites.

I'm amazed that some of these issues were not picked up in the beta testing. What on earth was everyone doing?!
