APPLE IOS 7 question

[grobb]

I just upgraded my iphone to 4S. It came with IOS7. I have not had any luck finding information on closing open apps running in the background. I can't close them as I did with my previous IPhone that used IOS 6x.

Anyone have experience with this and an answer. I have searched Apple.com and IOS7 manual. Thanks
Gary

Double tap the home button and swipe the review screen above the app icon (not the icon itself) up in order to close the app.

Double click button on the bottom of phone. Swipe each open app upwards to close

IOS 7 is horrible. Battery life went down, and their is lots of security issues. I went to an android.

That's really cool how that works! Why did they mess with my calendar?! Getting new iPhone 5C today........ I won't have to look through a cracked screen anymore!

Thank you. I really appreciate it

The flashlight is now build into the control center. Access the control center by swiping up from the bottom. You will see an icon that looks like a flashlight. Use that icon to turn the flashlight off and on. You probably hit the control center and flashlight by mistake and did not realized that you turned it on.

This link (http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/90_ios_7_tips_and_tricks#slide-2)shows you a picture of the control center.

The flashlight comes with iOS7. When you swipe up from the bottom on a screen, a quick link to the features come up. Across the bottom is a flashlight, timer, calculator and camera appear. Just click on the flashlight and it will go off. Hope this helps.

Worked for me to. Thanks!

Another question?

I had my flash come on accidentally like a flash light. Couldn't turn it off, had to shut the phone down to get it off. I don't have an app for a flash light, any idea how I turned it on and how to turn it off again? It was dark when it came on accidentally.

I spoke to a rep at my local Verizon store and he said a fix is coming in the next "2 to 3 weeks". Hopefully this will solve a lot of the bugs.

is there any way to go back to the old version if we dont like 7? I really am having problems with it. Phone seems to be running very slow.

That was my first reaction and the answer is NO going back.

You will also find after a couple of weeks you will be used to all the things you currently dislike.

Art Fenn has a IOS club which meets the first Tuesday of every month at Colony Rec Center at 1:30. Very informative. Basics and more. The apple club also has IOS meetings the second Tuesday at 6:30 at Saddlebrooke. Both clubs are very informative.

What about the IPad?

Ipad. double hit button and then drag Icon up with finger.

I don't think the new I0S7 is very compatible with the older Iphones. I bought a new Iphone and now my speed is good, but my old Iphone became slower with the new operating system. I'd love to go back to the old operating system too, but as they say, you can never go back. Onward and upward!

Double tap the home button and swipe the review screen above the app icon (not the icon itself) up in order to close the app.

Thanx for all the info on the new iOS7. I love everything apple and really like the new iOS7.

[delima2000]

Thanks Gerald. That works.

Check Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh

Turn off all apps running in background that you really don't need. This will speed things up.

[Maiercab]

Swipe up and there are lots of 'useful' tools like the camera, volume, timer, etc and a flashlight!

From what I've read on Apple's site you really don't need to close apps.

Has anyone lost the sounds for videos after installing ios7?
Thanks! Karron

(I can here the sound on videos if I put the ear pieces in.......)

I have updated both phone and iPad. No problems and I love the upgrade

What about the IPad?

Interestingly enough, my Ipad has not been affected like my Iphone has
