Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

hold the option key on your keyboard and click restore. It will open a windows and ask you to choose the file to use. Google for the restore file.

The problem is not so much whether they will fix this or not. They probably will.

The problem is that they used to release products that just worked.

"It just works."

And now they don't anymore.

What they have released (iOS 7) really is a mere half-baked product.

And then they ask us to "bear with them" while they fix it.

The premium they charge for their stuff is only worth it because afterwards it is supposed to be trouble free for the user.

If it is going to be as bad as a Samsung, one should better by a Samsung and spare !

And that nausea issue though annoying is not the worse.

For me, the worse bit by far is the reminders.
Come on ! That is just as fundamental (and as basic / simple) an app for a smartphone and they release a product where the reminder app is just not working AT ALL and completely stupidly designed (soslow to respond it is almost useless, nightmare to even add a reminder at a specific date, etc, etc.)

The longer we go the less faith I have they will fix it. They immediately put out a statement about fixing the imessage problem but have said nothing at all about this problem. Apple is known for ignoring things in hopes they go away, I hope this isn't one of those times.

I have the restore file, but after I loaded it in iTunes, Apple server did not sign it. It seems like they're not signing iOS6 anymore or is it still possible?

There's no way it's possible. Maybe if you do it immediately, but I've spoken with a few Apple customer support reps, and they said you can't switch out once you've dont the download to 7.

I think this ties in to why the 5 is now off the market. If you want an iPhone, it's gonna be on 7.

Could someone please tell me how to go backwards with the software.

The IOS 7 is causing huge problems with myself and as my phone is so old i have no option to reduce the motion picture.

I do not want to replace my phone as i have a lot of other i products and this will cause another problem.

Apple will not advise a downgrade. What do i do. ???

Well, this problem can go away with either of 2 sacrifices by Apple: invest the resources needed to go back to iOS6 incidence levels, or lay off all affected customers... they surely well to do enough to opt for either strategy. That is of course disregarding the option that IMVHO is/should be open, i.e. to provide a way for users to downgrade. It'd be interesting to know how many users would be willing to pay for that to be handled by Apple...

As to downgrading: you also need the so-called SHSH blob for your device and OS version. Those you can save yourself as long as Apple signs a specific release, or with luck they can be found via the alternative app store for jailbroken devices. I have no idea how to proceed exactly and if this requires jailbreaking; when I saw that 6.1.2 (sic) was no longer signed and I didn't have the corresponding blob I decided to hold off on upgrading until I'm **** sure I won't regret it.

Yea for you the nausea problem isnt the worst. I skipped dinner last night and slept from 7pm to 6:45am this morning because I felt like crap. Yes reminders is somewhat crappy as I rely on it but I will take the reminders app over this vertigo any day. I can't even use my phone.

I'm with you khabd. this is bizarre and frustrating. i never thought i'd contemplete getting an htc or samsung, but...here i am.

The one positive from this entire experience is that I am now using my iPad as little as possible. Its a return to a less-connected life 🙂

That being said, I'm truly fearful that the next MacOS will look like this IOS POS. I've been holding off purchasing several MacPros but I don't know what to do if the next MacPro comes with a IOS 7 look-alike.

Methinks I discovered the reason for the percieved problem.

In the old applications, as in other programs (Android, Win et al.), the action

of zooming in/out is performed in a similar way, e.g. 'standard by convention' -

The focus is zoomed in/out from a center spot on the screen.

When the zoom occurs, the eye is fixed in the center of the screen, and does not

move it's focus, the eyebal is stationary (no muscle action on the eyeball or

refocus of eye's lens). Thus no muscular activity.

The Apple marketing/scientists decided it would be cute to zoom in/out from the

position selected (tapped) on the screen, so that the application zooms in or

out from a visually non expected location. Often this is from the sides

(upper/lower corners).

This ever slow and slight motion from a new spot on the screen causes the eye to

quickly search or twitch while relocating focus, as this is really an

unexpected movement.

Think of it like a DSLR camera's auto focus mechanism.

Even though focus on the same visual depth plane, there is a side to side shift

that the camera (eye) needs to accomodate, and a lag. This is heard by the

slight lag and focus motor grinding. In the eye the trauma occurs from

repetitive side shift and refocus

This was compounded by the fact the zoom is slow, so the eye tries to adjust

quickly.

Maybe the quick and programming easy fix would be to accelerate that zoom, so

that the eye does not have a chance to physically move.

This feature is implemmented in high end cameras. When in continuous auto focus

mode, you set a delay in the focus/refocus mechanism. This is useful in sport

events, when someone crosses in front of the field of view, the focus stays on

the selected spot.

Can the iPhone be considered a sporting tool?

Can I get a Nobel prize??

Yes! I will vote for you!

On top of that the zoom isnt equal on the app vs the background. The background zooms x amount but the app zooms a different amount at the same time. Also the zooming sometimes curves and comes in a weird motion. It feels like looking through bonuculars which are glued to your head while on a really rough boat ride.

iMessage white screen is also a problem not as bad as the zooming for me.

Yesterday I began using siri much more. I am not sure if I should dump this 5s and get a replacement iphone 5 os 6 or use siri and hope for an update. Outside of that I am barely using the phone until I decide what I will do.

I totally agree liquidstereo. I feel like my phone I was pointlessly using it, I think life will be more enjoyable being disconnected for a couple weeks here and there. Of course once in a while if I need instructions on fixing something etc using or calling someone it will be nice.

Why would you be looking elsewhere than near to where you're tapping??
