IOS 7 problems

Also Settings > General > Accessibility: Bold Text and Increase Contrast may help. The first is a system wide change to the fonts and will reboot the iPad. The second makes the Control Panel and Notification Center a bit less transparent so the fonts show (slightly) better on them.

IOS 7.0, iOS 7.2, and iOS 7.3 End Results?

Hi Folks,

The good news is that my iPad 2 is finally working as good as or better than it was 3 weeks ago with iOS 6. The process 0f installing iOS 7.0 through iOS 7.3 has cost me many hours and most of the extra energy that this old man has to spare over that time frame. My IPS guy doesn't want to talk to me any more or any of his other Apple customers.

I have learned the following lessons the hard way:

1) Always have your iPad backed-up to iCloud

2) Connect your iPad directly to iTunes and totally reinstall everything including the update. This resulted in normal
operation, speed and feel.

3) Even with everything else working I still couldn't send e-mail. Trial and error in "settings" for another hour or two and Finally it worked!

Thank God that I had my PC for backup!!!

My impressions for the iPad 2 are:
It runs faster, not sure whether because I totally wiped out everything and started as a new iPad
Smoother layout
Refreshing look, already got use to it

Minus points:
Battery seems to lower faster, but in stand by all night it stayed on same Lvl. My brightness is set to the lowest.. I am wondering which settings to change to keep battery longer.

Look at this thread: http://www.ipadforums.net/ios-7/114204-how-save-battery-life-ios-7-complete-guide.html
It may help a little with the battery.

Hi
Since updating my ipad to ios7 it has become unstable. If I carry out a Reset All Settings or Erase All Content And Settings, I assume I will have to open a new account. Does that mean I will not be able to get my Apps back.
Thanks

Your iPad will be reset back to factory settings. When you sign back in using your Apple ID you will be able to get back your apps purchased. However, important documents and pictures will be lost if you have not backed them up to another source (emailing it to yourself, Dropbox, etc.)

What is it that you are trying to achieve when you reset and erase all settings?

I wonder if "reset all settings" would eliminate the random freeze-ups I've been having since the IOS7 upgrade? About 2-3 times per week the screen freezes, and I need to wait a few minutes before even the power-off button will respond.
Once I have the iPad 3rd gen up and running again, I'll normally check and notice I have too many apps open (double-click Home button). Odd how re-starting does not kill all background running apps?

If you have background app refresh on, restarting the device will automatically restart the processes that are under background app refresh.

Background Ap Refresh... Hmmm. I will change this now. Thanks

Despite the 7.0.4 update, the problem with sound going off is still there. I wonder when this will be finally corrected!!??
