ios7 keeps refreshing apps after switching

Something in your message kicks off the autocensor. I reported it and got deleted as well. Everyone is talking about 7.1 and Debinlee didn't get deleted for talking jailbreak. I don't know.

I meant to type "reposted" it but autocorrect got me.

You can throw rolls of tin foil at me but i don't think that there's an AUTOMATIC censor...

For all who don't have a mail subscription (to read the deleted posts) here's a possible solution:

1. Go to Google and search for "Background Manager"

2. Help yourself

And thanks to all who wrote to tech magazines - great job!

Yeah. I don't even know about stuff you are not allowed to talk about. To my recall, this is not the first time I bring up 'j ail bre ak' and didn't get caught. Update about background manager: You don't want to choose" forced"under " globe" coz it hurts battery. You may want to add items under " each app" and choose " forced" under specific app

It is not related to old devices only though. I have 4 older idevices I have not upgraded (until they fix the stark white/neon colors which triggers my headaches).

I was forced to use iOS 7.0.6 on my 64GB iPad Air as it came preinstalled and Safari refreshes the page every SINGLE time I switch tabs inside the app. It also does it if I switch to email or another app like notepad or pages.

I never leave apps open unless I am using them so memory is not a cause.

Waiting on 7.1 with bated breath.

In regard to Safari pages refreshing whenever you switch tabs inside the app -- I've heard people suggest that this is a different, separate and additional problem to the main problem we're dealing with here. Is this right? Could someone more knowledgeable than me comment on this? Thanks.

All the web apps do it, but I like Safari. I have Chome and Puffin too and they do it as well.

I don't want to do anything to my device not approved by Apple. I think it is crazy anyone would have to to fix a bug that Apple should have fixed in 7.0.1.

My Apple Maps is still useless too. When are they going to fix that? It regularly sends me to addresses miles down the road from the actual location where Google sends me and I have reported my entire subdivision being named wrong about 20 times in the "report a problem" and they still haven't fixed it.

Here's my input. iPad2 IOS 7.0.6 - 11+GB free space. All apps have been updated. I reboot frequently, but it doesn't solve the problems.

Absolutely everything regarding app switching worked perfectly BEFORE upgrading to IOS7. Every single app I used worked flawlessly. Multitasking and several apps do not work correctly since, and I am now on 7.0.6. I've tried all the recommended settings to get rid of parallax, app background updating, etc. Nothing works.

Examples:

Word Numbers: They freeze up EVERY TIME I open or return to them. There is a five second or so lag - frozen.

(Tried turning iCloud off, but that didn't solve it.)

Safari: Will just close itself several times a day. I also experience the multitasking issues mentioned in this thread.

I love my iPad2. I absolutely hate IOS 7. It ruined a wonderful tablet. Besides the issues in this thread, the update brought my spiffy iPad2 to a crawl.

I'll wait for 7.1, but if this persists, I'll be buying an Android tablet. It might not be any better, it might be worse, but at least it isn't so boring looking.

Forgot to mention - my iPad2 is 32GB, have 11GB free.

Also, I never keep more than five apps 'open' at a time. Every night, I close them all down.

I just got two posts deleted, both of them related to settings of background manager

Yes my description about the right configuration got deleted too.

Not only that there is absolutely no help from Apple but they also delete useful posts.

By the way, the "Do it yourself" solution doesn't fix the safari tab refresh problem so it seems that this is really i different problem.

EndOfInfinity,

I heared you about the right settings of the Manager. Yes, the "Forced" mode is REAL backgrounding mode and the"Native" is IOS standard. The thing is I just activated the "Native" mode globally and everything works perfectly and the battery is better than that of "Forced"

I was thinking, with "Native" mode, the Manager is bringing the "Normal IOS standard" back in some certain ways. I do experence REFRESH under "Native" mode but in a way the Norma IOS standard does.

Hi DebinLee,

native mode does not work for me - there's the same refresh problem so it really brings back the "iOS standard" which causes the problem.

But even with forced mode it doesn't reallx fix the problem because the lack of free memory is still there. So with three or four apps running under forced mode my safari is refreshing the page EVERY TIME i change a tab. So it seems safari has only enough memory to keep one single page open.

I guess this is a basic problem of iOS7 so it's unlikely to get a fix.

It's just like running Win7 on a machine with 512MB RAM - you can install it but you can't use it.

Hi EndOfInfinity,

I've tested it on my girlfriend's iPad 2. Yeah, it doesn't work.

Does any device with 512MB RAM work?

But forced mode for specific apps works really great.

So there is a solution for all of you: Help yourself!

(I'm sorry, but i can't tell you more to avoid yet another deletion of my post. Google is your friend!)
