Another iOS 7 lockscreen vulnerability - this time in 7.0.2 - Polidicks

Why would you ever want a protected lockscreen? To prevent your girlfriend from reading your messages? Lol

[QUOTE=qwerty000;42366579]Why would you ever want a protected lockscreen? To prevent your girlfriend from reading your messages? Lol[/QUOTE] How about if somebody steals your phone because you left it unattended for a minute. Would you really want them to have total access like that because you couldn't be bothered to put on a quick lock screen?

[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;42366430]That's what BETA testing is for. But I don't know anyone who has had [B]serious[/B] issues with it, the worst issue is that it is sluggish on the iPhone 4[/QUOTE] I know several kids at my school who payed the $100 or so fee to become an "App Developer" just to get into the iOS 7 beta. These idiots spent a benjamin just to have a sleek UI a month before everyone else. I have a feeling most beta testers don't even bother to send bug reports.

Everyone wants the hardware just so they can be first, but not report anything back. I hate those people.

Well I never leave my phone anywhere, and I recommend you to do the same, so yeah

[QUOTE=.apex;42366363]atleast you CAN Apparently there is no way to downgrade ios 7 unless you had a backup of the old one or something. Wouldnt be surprised if they add in something to prevent downgrading even if you have backups[/QUOTE] yeah but most of the files are on the internet and if you're not careful you could download the wrong file

How do people even find this shit, you can't really do that by accident

[QUOTE=.apex;42366276]I still find it really dumb how Apple doesnt allow you to downgrade iOS7 anyway. I like iOS7 and all but it's pretty dumb to not allow it incase you have serious issues with it[/QUOTE] if they allowed you to downgrade then more people would be downgrading to versions that can be jailbroken piracy on android is fairly widespread, so it makes sense for apple to want to avoid that, along with other issues that could arise from people jailbreaking

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;42367336]yeah but most of the files are on the internet and if you're not careful you could download the wrong file[/QUOTE] In my experience in the past 4 years of owning Android devices, that is a really, really hard thing to do. That is, if you actually have a clue of what your doing. All the top results in Google are usually legit. Stick to trust worthy sites like xda or goo.im and you won't have that issue. And hell, most of the phones and recoveries won't let you flash ROMs for the wrong phone, and even if you do, they never touch recovery or fastboot so its always recoverable.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;42366728]Funny thing is you could just download the firmware and shift+update it on itunes onto your device without paying anything.[/QUOTE] you have to register the device's UUID on the apple developer portal otherwise you can't use the phone also ios 7 is just better than 6 in every way one thing I've been wanting for years in iOS is a way to see timestamps on text messages because i'm anal about that shit finally they have included timestamps in text messages (slide your conversation to the left and times will show up)

They have been a thing on pretty much every other mobile OS for years.

yes, but at least they added them (even if it took too long)

[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;42366430]The worst issue is that it is sluggish on the iPhone 4[/QUOTE] I thought IOS 7 wasn't available on the 4th generation?

[QUOTE=Bernie Buddy;42375795]I thought IOS 7 wasn't available on the 4th generation?[/QUOTE] only the ipod 4

[QUOTE=Mors Quaedam;42360427]iOS 7 was the worst mistake Apple ever made. [sp]Yes, even worse than Apple maps.[/sp][/QUOTE] Last time I checked iOS 7 didn't instruct you to drive off of overpasses.

[editline]2nd October 2013[/editline] I did have to restore to update to the real one which is the only downside.

So with my iPhone 5, if I have SHSH blobs for 6.x, I still can't downgrade anyway? Or is there some way I'm unaware of? I thought Apple recently made it so that SHSH blobs don't even help anymore.

-snip very late didn't read previous reply-

Shit I tried this and got my phone stuck in a springboard reload loop.

[QUOTE=MattJeanes;42383982]Shit I tried this and got my phone stuck in a springboard reload loop.[/QUOTE] Time to restore then.

For those that didn't watch the video, using the emergency call for anything allowed him to go into system settings and all that jazz

No it didn't. Just the Clock app (or any of the apps available from Control Center).
