Double push notification on every app !

Hi,

Last weekend I installed iOS7 (I have a developer account) on my iPhone 5 to try it for a few days.

Then when I restored it to iOS6 (it was possible as it happened that the original .ipsw iOS6 file was still in my iTunes folder), but since I have kept one of the iOS7 bugs !

When I was on iOS7, I got double notifications for the apps I managed to launch (when 1 popped up, a second appeared 1min later).

However this still happens on iOS6.

To restore it, I have used a backup older than the WWDC keynote date, so it shouldn't have kept anything related to iOS7.

Any idea ?

Cheers

I finally managed to solve the problem by myself.

For those who face the same issue than I do, you will need to put your device into DFU mode, and proceed to a fresh install (no backups !).

After investigating a little bit on this issue, it seems that the device has a push notification ID : it remained the same even after restoring with backup. As it received double notifications with this ID, it apparently needed to be reset by a fresh install.

I currently have the same issue. After completing a clean install were you able to restore to a backup?

Hi,

Actually, in my case, it seems like the problem came from the backup itself.

I first tried a clean install after putting my device into DFU mode, and then restored with a backup : it did not work, even with a backup created before the WWDC keynote event...

So I tried again, but this time setting it as a new device, and it now works just like before.

I hope this helps.

After setting up as a new device were you able to restore your contacts, notes, app data, etc. via iCloud? Or can you setup as new device and then restore from backup as usual?

The data related to my iCloud account (contacts, notes, reminders...) was restored without any issues.

All other backups of any kinds (iCloud or via iTunes) did not work though : so I have to put all my musics, photos and apps myself.
