  1. Has any one been reading about the motion sensor issues? Quite a few tech sites put articles about it out today and posted pictures of them testing it against ip5 without m7. I of course thought BS, always something these people wanna complain about.
    Till I came home and compared the level in the compass app on my wife’s old 4s to my 5s. And sure enough the level was off on the 5s. I downloaded real racing 3 and the car goes to the left while I have my phone on a flat surface going straight.
    This has been being talked about for a week in macforums. I heard about it on ilounge earlier today and clicked the link cuz I read about it at cnet a few hours earlierr as well. I read 25 pages of people with the problem. People claimed to have even gotten replacements with the same problem. I thought, nine million iPhones, of course there will be some issues. Or like antennagate people just like to bitch. But I confirmed it on mine. I’ll check my wife’s 5s when she gets home from work in the AM.
    I’m just a lil worried some are saying its possible hardware issue and not software. I hope it’s software cuz I don’t wanna give up my 5s.
    I mean Would apple fix it in future 5s’s if it’s hardware and if they do will they replace a phone under manufacture warranty for a phone that’s a few degrees off? You’d think they gotta fix even if hardware cuz a lot of apps and games depend on the gyro and all the motion controls. Then there’s the people who actually use the compass and level. Who cares about them, Honestly. But all the other stuff it’ll effect is what worries me.
    Sorry to discuss this in another topic. This place is the only place I comment and lurk usually. Got sucked over to other sites reading about this darn issue. Can someone just tell me it’ll be ok? Maybe hold me? Can this be actually fixed in a update? I don’t know jack but this seems like more then software.

  2. I run Verify Disk Permissions after the installation of new software. I did a clean install with this latest Supplemental Update. And, as with the recent version of iTunes, version 11.1.1 , produced over two-hundred lines of disk permissions that were different than what they were supposed to be. Both in Safe Mode and from the Recovery Disk, I ran Repair Disk Permissions without success, even after running Repair Disk from the Recovery Disk. Apparently, there are still problems with iTunes which Apple has not fixed. It will be interesting to see how many iTunes users run into problems that were supposed “fixed”!

  3. Same thing here, numerous permissions problems with Safari and ITunes that now reside permanently in my disk utility.

    I try everything. Thanks you Apple – I’m not switching to Maverick until I see this resolved
