iOS 7 lag on iPhone 5

[anon(2254645)]

I haven't noticed a lag in replying to emails, but I haven't shared any photos either so I can't comment on that.

I restored as new and then set up all my apps again. I didn't restore from backup afterword as some on the support forums did. All claimed it didn't help doing it that way. FYI.

what do u mean by restored as new without backup? i also face the same problem with u, my iphone lag with ios 7.
did u mean that i have to restored as new phone with my ios 6 backup? then upgrade it back to ios 7? or back up this ios 7, and restore it as new?

Updated mine and wife's iP5 OTA. I haven't noticed anything lagging or rather, I haven't been looking for anything that lags. Happy so far.

If you're on iOS 7 connect to itunes and restore as new. Do not use any of your backups to set the phone up. This will cause you to have to enter all your settings and lose your saved game levels, but it will make ios 7 on your iphone 5 work like its fresh out of the box.

If youre on ios 6, update to ios 7 and restore as new when it prompts you.

No lag here and I restored from a beta 6 backup because I was so lazy to start from scratch..

I don't really have any lag per se but I do feel like the icon transition when you unlock the phone could be a touch faster. Not really a complaint though...

It may be unfair to categorize it as lag per se. There are some transitions that aren't quite as smooth.

Example, when I hit the button to reply to an email, the pop up menu come up just a bit choppy. Same thing when I hit the share button in Photos. The menu transition is just a slight bit choppy. It could just be me.

I tried this and I didn't get any lag. So that's good for me. Maybe try restarting your phone. Maybe that will fix the issue.

I did the OTA update, backed up through iCloud then wiped my phone and restored. I don't know why I didn't just restore through iTunes like I know is best to do. I had to wipe my phone three times on launch day to get everything working right. If I didn't hate restoring apps, layouts, and media with a passion I would've just started as new. I did reset all settings after restoring though.

Everything is ok after three days now, not happy with the slight increase in time with the transitions and occasional lag but my fingers are crossed that gets fixed. Battery life is the same as with iOS 6 after turning off parallax, background app refresh, and most of location services. It seemed like it was draining more then usual with wifi on in standby but that seems to have settled down now too.

I had the GM installed and from time to time I did notice some lag. I restored to the public official and the lag disappeared. Had the same issues withe the GM and my mini.

sorry too much question. i dont understand, why cant we use our backup? well, my last backup is ios 6 file backup.

Only issue I had after install OTA was a message telling me to connect my iPhone to iTunes to allow for push notifications. A quick reinstall like new and restore backup fixed the problem. Now it runs smoothly. Still testing the battery out though. Went down to 88% from 100 in a couple hours and all I had done was text for 5 minutes. Don't know if that's average or if it's draining too fast?

If anything, I have had an increase in speed, loving it so far. Just took some getting used to.

I out the phone in DFU mode and restored as new. Seems to be operating a bit more smoothly.

Awesome. I'm glad to hear it.

Hoping they reduce some of the animations in future revisions. The OS runs great, but it feels like it takes longer to do things like unlock the phone and get to the homescreen due to waiting on animation.

The animations give appeal.

Few battery cycles later first day woes greatly reduced

I agree. I think the animations are way too long. It seems to take forever to do anything on my iPhone 5 now. It's working great; nice and smooth, no stutter or lag, just way too much animation. I wish iOS gave the option of turning it off.

Turning on *Increase Contrast* in Settings/General/Accessibility worked for me. My iPod touch 5 works like a charm on iOS 7 now.
