I have to admit it looks pretty. No real functional innovation since android has had most of these features in one way or another for a very long time but it is huge improvement for them.

I actually bought my wife an iPhone 5 after her owning android phones since the g1 days. She's still not all that interested in tech but she uses her phone in all the ways that apple operates well. A walled garden means nothing for her but I won't buy anything mobile apple for myself.

The few things they have going for them for me are good messaging, absolutely awesome battery life, good app ecosystem (unless its a Google app) and the best selection of accessories (only because of their popularity and limited devices).

All the things that drive me insane about iOS they haven't fixed so it is still something I'll never buy for myself. Namely third party app integration (without jail breaking you can't change defaults from apple apps to third party so no chrome integration, Google now is a joke, maps etc), no back button, no file system, no ui customization, no widgets, and no home screen.

I do however wish android could achieve battery life like an iPhone without having a 3200+ mah battery and had something comparable to facetime. Facetime with all the I sheep grandparents with my kids is the biggest reason for getting my wife her iPhone. For the record, the wife loathes apple and is already a little frustrated with the phone.

It was the most disturbing thing clicking on an address and it going straight to apple maps. Also really frustrating that unless you are in a Google app it will only point to apple apps like safari etc. I downloaded Google search but unless you click on it you are stuck with siri for voice search which is terrible. It doesn't do half as well as Google for voice message dictation and takes forever. I don't even see the point of having some of the great Google apps on the device because they are crippled without the deep api access that Google apps enjoy on android.

[General Topics] dragon_76:
It is really beautiful, but that is really what Apple does: makes technology beautiful.

I personally think it looks more like Windows Phone running the "Light" theme than Android's "Holo" that is because for the past year I had a WP7 phone and I just came back to Android, so my Phone OS exposure is pretty broad at this moment.

I don't think iOS users are going to like it. The OS has been staid and crufty for so long, they won't like the change. I mean, they got their pants wet when iOS finally got notifications, how will they react when the entire OS looks foreign?

I had an iPod Touch 1G, iPhone 3GS (when they were new) and an iPad 1G, so I am not talking as someone who has never used iOS.
[General Topics] ismethajametovic:
I agree. My friends were excited at first. Now, they're having second thoughts on iOS 7. I think it's just because the change was so drastic and sudden. I, however, like the look (font esp.) and transition animations of iOS 7.
[General Topics] dragon_76:
http://www.subtraction.com/2013/06/14/requiem-for-a-back-button

They are already starting to lose their minds.

It is too bad that Apple didn't actually do anything to update their OS in a way that might interest Android users, because what they did with the interface is surely going to be their "Vista".
[General Topics] ismethajametovic:
Oh, no! Not the back button! Well, good thing iOS 7 is only in the beta stage of testing.
[General Topics] dodgebizkit:
I flashed the beta onto my 4S - kinda reminds me of iOS 6 with a touchwiz skin lol

Its nice although obviously being beta it is terribly buggy, but it is very nice. It is iOS and will always be iOS, very simple and (in its final form it will be) smooth and fast, but still no frills and extremely limited - great for a work/business phone as I use my iPhone for - although the new look isnt so professional as teenage hipster syle as you cant really mess it up, it always works for your basic funtions ect, but to use as a main phone if you are an android tweaker, it will still feel like a nokia 3210 with apps if you try and change to iPhone from android, they really haven't changed it enough to convert lovers of Jelly Bean or even WP8. perhaps people still on old Gingerbread phones may jump for it, or lower shelf ICS phones, but no flagship droider will.

Recent feedback from my iPhone friends reveal that iOS 7 is "overly complicated and too complex, I don't like it ". Seems to be what the reaction is when the average iOS user is exposed to change. Really shows how different we are from them yet we are all part of one huge smartphone using population.

[General Topics] gie62001:
Totally agree, especially after reading Cpawel comments, not even sure how people can waste so much time to write so much nonsense. The level of narrow mindedness is unbelievable ;) and this is all just about back button.

As for iOS 7 it does look a small step forward at least a visual change from old UI, and this is good as it will motivate Google and others to work harder seeing that apple has finally presented a bit different UI.

Funny story though my girlfriend gave up on her iPhone 4s (too boring and limited after years of usage) just few days before announcement of iOS 7 and took my work's phone - Samsung Galaxy S I9000 which I flashed with newest release of 4.2.2 and she's so happy now.

Anyone who has been using iOS extensively knows what apple did with 7. Took interface ideas from jailbreak devs and visual cues from WP. The only thing patently belonging to apple in the entire presentation was their bloody attitude.

At least with a mac, you have something like AirDroid. Give me one such program for a non jailbroken iOS device. Any SSH'ing needs you to be jailbroken. And frankly speaking even then, it's a PITA.

I likemy work iPhone but could never use it as a main phone again, iOS 7 is fun to play with but compared to a nexus on 4.2.2, its still boring if you play too long...all you can do is swipe up swipe down andmove the iCons left and right

Using Nexus4 stock and unrooted.
[General Topics] anirudh412:
That is possible provided either the program is already installed on every computer you would want to connect your idevice to or you have an Internet connection to do so. Many places have firewalls in place so that you cannot install new software on them. What are you gonna do then? Talk to the sys admin and ask him to turn off system protection for a while?

All I am saying is even though there MIGHT be a way, it's quite tedious and roundabout. It's always been like that in iOS because Apple truly delude themselves by thinking they know what users want. It might have been true when smartphones were first introduced. Simplicity was required. Now they are mainstream. Everyone wants to tinker with their phones to make it truly theirs.
[General Topics] italia0101:
Very much this .... Its nice . but after a while its the same old iOS ...
[General Topics] zackvh:
iOS 7 looks nice, make no mistake. But the translucent, frosted glass like notification drawer with the bright neon colors glowing behind it looks too toyish. It reminds me of a cupcake with too much icing and sprinkles. Lots of use of bright colors throughout the OS too. Apple has just played the catch up game though, there was no major innovations in the OS. The "new features" have been available on other platforms for some time. When the next big jump in Android comes along Apple will have to catch up all over again.
[General Topics] Drøid:
the android-filtetransfer program is surely NOT preinstalled on corporate Macs ;)

this discussion does not lead to anywhere useful =( what i wanted to say, was just the fact, that both systems need proprietary software to be accessed.. nothing more and nothing less! iPhone needs DiskAid/iTunes, Google Nexus4 needs the android-filetransfer.. so what? Both ways are "tedious"; but both ways are sort of similar, aren't they? Both worlds know tools (call it jailbreak or root or whatever) to get closer to the core, to tinker, to optimize and/and to correct stuff, to get more options, to... oups.. even more similarities!

but hey.. if mindless bashing without knowing facts is what you need, keep it up; you'll have to live with it! ;)
[General Topics] anirudh412:
No offence man, but do you even know what you are talking about? Android File Transfer is required for MTP connections only. AirDroid does not need it at all. AND you DON'T need root to use AirDroid.

Mindless bashing? I don't work for Google to do that. I own an iPad 4 and a MB Air in addition to a Nexus 4.

Using Nexus4 stock and unrooted, Kii keyboarding it up!
[General Topics] air2k57:
I am actually excited and I was never a fan of iOS. I really liked iPhone 5 build quality and the overall look, display was great too. I have been kind of growing tired of android lately with apps usually getting updates on iOS way before us, with me always reflashing things...

Problem with android to me is just how many devices and skins they are. Devices such as HTC one and S4 both are great hardware wise, but I actually think they are a major step backwards when compared to stock. Sure, they add some functionality and different look, but rarely does it work as advertised and actually slows down device. Not to mention just how ugly touchwiz is these days!

With nexus, face it, you got to root. If you don't, battery is just okay and display is so washed out! And nexus is really the only device that gets updated right away, HTC takes ages and Samsung is only somewhat better. And when you do root, some roms add some issues, there are bugs introduced, and so on. While it is great to have open source device like this, I'm kind of tired of it.

I never went to iOS because to me, some things were plain dumb and outdated about it. With messaging app looking like it is 100 years old, which it is... With safari, to multitasking. With ios7 it is just so easy on the eyes, there is this whole design flow, I think a lot of people who design for a living would appreciate and understand, I love it.
[General Topics] rayiskon:
that's why they are releasing the google edition phones, xperia z, moto x maybe and maybe others are most likely going to be added to that list. so you'll have a non-nexus choice to get stock android with prompt updates on a high end device.

as for rooting the nexus 4, well , either i got a great piece of hardware by chance or i don't know, i like the display just as it is,i don't find it washed out, color representation is great and it's bright enough in daylight outside. rooted stock does it for me.

be sure even with iOS7 , you'll get bored after a while, and you'll be looking for the next android phone to pick up. mark my words :)
[General Topics] bozzykid:
That's because iPhone users are too caught up in the look of stock icons to care about actual functionality. As an Android user, what stock icons look like is of little concern.

Well, I have an idea but you may not like it. You will lose everything on your internal sd if you do this. If you are on the I747, not the i747m, you can flash the LG1 firmware. It will completely wipe your phone. But you will lose everything on your internal sd. External sd well be safe (remove it anyway, just in case)

Lg1, whether stock or rooted, will wipe your phone. It should boot after that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
You have the common odin-back-to-stock boot loop. I think you just aren't booting into stock recovery correctly. A factory reset in stock recovery will fix it.

Also just flashing a stock ROM in Odin will not wipe your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jetlife94:
I am but whenever I go into recovery, my phone reboots. It's like my power button is acting randomly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Normally, you would be right about the stock Odin packages not wiping your phone. BUT, there is one exception to that, UCALG1. It will wipe your internal and factory reset at the same time

flashed stock without factory resetting first. bootloop. yeah...

boot phone into download mode.

flash this CWM recovery attached below with odin in PDA box.

boot into custom recovery.

factory reset.

now either you are done and you can reboot into stock with custom recovery still installed OR reboot into download mode without letting android boot and flash stock with odin again for pure stock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
I'm wondering if any body is experiencing a notification issue/bug like me. I never receive the push notifications like I'm supposed to. I've noticed this happening with instagram, snap chat, twitter, and Facebook so far.

My brother, who has the same phone, receives notifications from instagram immediately. We're on the same wifi too.

I have no idea what's interfering with my notifications.

Can someone please help?

I've even tried flashing a custom rom and kernel. I think it's one of the things I've restored from titanium backup.

Should I try wiping data? Will it mess with my roms, or just all of the data I have on it (like apps and accounts)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] UnitedOceanic:
i am looking for a solution for this as well.

i could narrow the issue down to titanium backup.

wiping the data of the app (via settings not titanium) is enough to get the notifications back. but restoring the data again with tb leads to some weird inconsistent effects.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
I sometimes get all of the notifications at one random time, and then it just stops.

I've tried uninstalling the app, and reinstalling it. Nothing seems to work for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
i also have this problem with delayed/no notifications. any of you using a custom kernel?

i also dont have/use titanium backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:

Not sure if I remember if it worked before I flashed a custom kernel or not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
im also using his kernel. anyone else having this problem and using his kernel.

the reason i ask is because this was mentioned before, and it may be the kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Try the original stock kernel, see if you get notifications
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Did you find a solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abcdefg1234567:
Try reseting app preferences,

Settings/ application manager/choose all /hit menu/reset app preferences.

After you apply titanium backup update... everything is haywire. Usually that fixes alot.. normally youll receive a notif in from RED from titanium backup saying phone reboot recommended.

Just a idea to try:o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
What does it do? Reseting preferences? Reseting all the apps settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abcdefg1234567:

Trust me it does good over harm, its a common practice .
