No common sense in iOS 7

I can't say how dispppointed I am with iOS 7.
The UI is so obviously flawed in design, I just can't believed it went through with any one at Apple having the common sense of stopping this.
There are ensledd issues :
- The sliders that now answer to a simple tap (Come on ! the whole point of the slider was that it would NOT answer to a tap thus making difficult to activate by mistake !)
- The UI colors : if you have a dark color background then SIM unlock has transparent numbers and you get ... black on black. If you have a light one then everything else if white on white and you can't read **** either
- When you activate the slider the animation is so artificially complex without any purpose (slide, button dilates laterally, then does a rapid reverse motion and comes back the direction initially intended, turns grey, then turns white)
- The calendar app shows half as much info on the screen as before : in day view (portait) I see just about 4 hours of my day but then I have a huge space wasted to display TWICE the date, TWICE the day in the week, TWICE the month.
- Sliding from week to week seems to hardly work if one misses only a tiny fraction of the screen width : if I don't slide on over 90% of my screen it just won't slide,
- in calendar in landscape view : I see only 4 hours over 3 days : it is next to impossible to have a decent overvien of teh week,
- and the reminders : well it is so sluggish, it just DOESN'T wotk anymore.
And the list of proffs of a complete lack of common sense go on and on and on ...

I must have filled 20 bug reports at least is teh last 3-4 days (since I upgraded).
In my early time with Apple products, I used to find one bug per month.
Came Apple maps and that became once a day (including with wrong locations)
Now comes iOS 7 and it is ... once every hour or more.
I just can't believe it !!

A Common Sense Solution

From a photographers perspective, I think many complaints about Photoshop CC are coming from people who have previously paid for the full version of Photoshop AND upgrades after that.
First, the price for Photoshop is doubling for loyal users who upgrade each time, and increasing even more for casual users. Previous upgrades average out to $11 per month for consistent upgraders ($200 upgrade / 18 month product cycle). A permanent $10 per month would be fair. So, Adobe would be giving loyal users a DEAL to join the cloud version. And when factoring in people who upgraded infrequently and now join, Adobe would be making MORE money from them than their previous upgrade model!
The second major issue: no matter how much money you have invested in Photoshop, no payments mean no using the software. How about every $200 in payments would lock upgraders into that current version and the software would not need to phone Adobe and feature updates would not download. If you want the continued new features, then you can pay more. This would give Adobe more incentive to innovate to keep people subscribing for updates. If you stop payments after $200 and want to come back later to upgrade, you would need to pay for what you missed.
To summarize, $10 per month for upgraders and after every $200 you lock in the current version.
Personally, I bought Photoshop in the mid-90s and have paid a lot of money over the years to upgrade every single time. I would be comfortable with the plan I outlined above.
For new users, $20 per month and they lock in the current version when they reach $600. This would be a $100 savings off the boxed version, thus an enticement to join. After paying $600, they would then be considered an upgrader and their monthly fee would be $10.
I think this is a common sense solution that would be fair to Adobe and the wide variety of photographers who use Photoshop.

a very reasonable set of suggestions. in the U.K. I am sure this would be acceptable given the prices presently charged! my 18 month upgrade cycle has increased by 240% here due to this model, rising from £350 to £850

Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
The arrow, however does not open the link.
On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links. Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

I have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

Account locked by Skype WITHOUT using common sense

I made an account for a friend and bought a voucher for him. After his first call, the account got locked. Here is the discussion I had on Skype`s live chat. It`s quite hilarious how a multi billion company like Skype hires cheap support from the Phillipines. Why would they do that unless they don`t want people using their service.... Please read on as it is quite hilarious. Oh, can someone ( a NATIVE English speaker prefferably) tell me what in God`s name is the "speciality group" and what is his role?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.
Cheers,
Rob

Can I speak with someone that has some common sense? (Overage Charged)

My name is Nigel, I have been with Verizon Wireless for about 7 yrs. Last last month I seen that our minute usage was high and we were about to go over our monthly plan. I decided that it would be best to increase our plan to a higher allotment of minutes. Since I have been encouraged to take advantage of the online features that Verizon offers, I decided to change our plan using the website. In doing so, the website provided a "Retro" plan which I thought I selected. Apparently, there was a mistake and the wrong option was selected. Now, Verizon has charged me $150.00 in overage charges on top of my normal bill, and no one from Verizon seems to understand that I am not a Verizon Technician. Surely it is evident that my intent was obviously clear and that the error is a simple mistake which occurred. I am not sure if I was at fault or Verizon's systems are to blame for this issue, but at a minimum, Verizon should honor my original request and retro the bill thus reducing/removing the overage charges.
As soon as I became aware of this issue I called Customer Service. As of now, I have spent over 3hrs on the phone explaining the situation to different supervisors, and I have even requested to speak to their higher-ups. Currently, I have waited for 72 hours without a returned call. I have yet to resolve this issue.
I am considering changing phone carriers, but now I have a penalty if I leave, what is the fair thing to do? Why won't someone with common business sense call me back? This company is Mickey Mouse!
Please have Ivan Seidenberg or the current CDO call me on the 8164 number.
Thank you,
Nigel

2Cool4School,
The fundamental business practice for a telecommunication vender is to recognize and acknowledge system related errors. In this case, Verizon is liabile for systems errors that disadvantages it customers. After speaking with several Verizon employees, including supervisors, the systematic flaw inherent with their web based services and its possible error ratio has not been acknowledged. Furthermore, nothing is absolute and it is possible that this error was not cause due to any fault of my own. Thus, Verizon should understand their accountability in the matter. I guarantee that Ivan Seidenberg is interested in learning about this matter which could turn into a potential turn class-action lawsuit.

Why can't Verizon and Asurion use common sense!

I have had Verizon for years. I have had insurance for years. Luckily I never had to use it, until today! I had a beautiful red Windows 8 HTC 8x. Well I dropped it and the screen smashed, ugh! Anyway, I was like no problem I have insurance! Well it is a problem! Seriously Verizon get a clue on how to do things in a simple manner! I called Verizon they were very nice (Enterprise, AL store), but told me I had to go through the insurance company. Ok, all good until I called Asurion! Not helpful at all! 1st off they don't have my color, ok not happy but I can live with it, then the 1st girl lied to me, she said they could have a black phone overnighted to me and I would get it tomorrow, I said well I am not happy but fine, hang up (she put in her notes that the call was lost, yeah right) anyway I called back. Spoke with Tabitha and she told me they actually didn't have my phone in stock and that it would be 5 to 7 business days before I could get one! What!!!!!!! Really not happy now! She said well, since we don't have it in stock we can offer you a comparable phone, I said ok, what about the Nokia 928, she said we don't have that in stock either, but we have the Samsung Odyssey, my husband said NO it was junk. I asked them why I couldn't go to the store and get a new phone? That seems like the simple thing to do, they had them in stock they even had blue? That is not how they work! Seriously, that is the simple solution! I pay Verizon every month for my insurance, why shouldn't I be able to go get a new phone, I would have my new phone today! Asurion told me I could go to the store and pay full price for my phone and then they would reimburse me, they said after I filled out the paperwork, mailed my phone back to them, they verified all my information was correct they would mail me a check. If I had full price I would just go buy the Nokia 928, but the reason I sign up for contracts is that I get a discounted price on the flipping phone! Why couldn't I just take my broken phone to Verizon, they have all my information, get a new phone and Asurion pay Verizon for my phone. I take my car to a shop and file on my insurance and the insurance company pays the company not me, so why can't Asurion do that?

I feel your pain. I had a technician come out twice, my moden replaced 3 times, and now my monthly cost has gone up but my internet speeds are not much improved.

The info you put and the year you put in the info section of a movie you've ripped into your library should appear in the empty space on the left as you scroll down your list. It just makes common sense.

Seems like Apple would use the empty black space on the left, that appears while scrolling through your shared library, to display the info you enter in the year and comments section. For example: I should be able to put the synopsis to each of my movies in the comments section and see it on the left as I scroll through my list. Get on that. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple does use tht space for info about the movie, you are obviously entering it into the wrong places.

Probably the app developers fault but then Apple needs to warn people about compatiblity of apps... I will add a review note to TOP 3 to warn people
If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.

[iOS] Sort Artists with the prefix "The" based on the 2nd word in app

This is something that drives me nuts, especially since it's done correctly on the desktop app. Why are The Strokes sorted under the "S" category but under the "T" section in the app? It's especially a hassel for bands like The Cribs who would be significantly higher on the list if the sorting was consistant. This is a small, almost common sense change that I think Spotify should make.

IOS 8 3G to 2G toggle missing :(( please fix it

Hi,
I just upgraded my iPhone 5s 16GB to iOS 8. Everything seems ok but for one problem.
There used to be a "Enable 3G" toggle in the cellular data menu. It is no longer present and has been replaced by "Enable LTE".
Charge quickly empties please help..hey apple please fix it

even I was surprised seeing the 3G toggle is missing from setting on my iphone 5 after updating to iOS 8, I don't get it hoe can that be carrier related when the same thing exists in iOS 7.. stop fooling us apple. Having that toggle is a must every other phone on market has it. It benefits a lot if you are in WiFi zone whole day to save some battery. It was the only reason I downgraded to iOS 7 because I cant afford to plug in my device for charging 3 times a day!! where has your common sense gone apple? after steve jobs this company has only degraded.

Excuse my ignorance as I'm not sure what you meant by "1 of 5" optimization. Did you mean median of 5 ?
Regarding swapping pointers, yes it is common sense and rather common among programmers to swap pointers instead of swapping large data types, at the small price of indirect access to the actual data through the pointers.
However, there is a rather unobvious and quite terrible side effect of using this trick. After the pointer array is sorted, sequential (sorted) access to the actual data throughout the remaining of the program will suffer heavily because of cache misses.
Memory is being accessed randomly because the pointers still point to the unsorted data causing many many cache misses, which will render the program itself slow, although the sort was fast!!.
Multi-threaded qsort is a good idea in principle and easy to implement obviously because qsort itself is recursive. The thing is Multi-threaded qsort is actually just stealing CPU time from other cores that might be busy running other apps, this might slow
down other apps, which might not be ideal for servers. The thing researchers usually try to do is to do the improvement in the algorithm it self.
I Will try to look at your sorting code, lets see if I can compile it.

I can't get ios 4.3.3 to load on my ipod touch gen4 8g

When prompted i click to update to 4.3.3 and it goes throught the whole download process, and during the "finishing" or "completing" something like that, it stops the update and says the software is corrupted. I have checked to make sure i am using the most current itunes. Is there a way to fix this without wiping the ipod and reloading ios?

the status bar at the top center says "processing file" and I get a small popup with a red X of certain doom. In the pop up it says the software was corrupted during the download, and then i has some different instructions, like disconnect and reconnect, make sure network is active, or try again later. I have tried a number of common sense solutions like disconnect/reconnect, reboot my pc, make sure I am running current itunes, disconnect every other web related program, and yes even try again later, and alas no success yet. I have tried nearly 20 different times to get this update and it always says corrupted during the "processing file" stage

No common sense in iOS 7
