iOS 7 is in a very early phase and although we can already download the first stable version and complete, that does not prevent errors from appearing that will be corrected in future updates. Many Internet users have realized that there is a security related bug, specifically with the Find my iPhone option.
With iOS 7, Apple has introduced numerous security improvements and in case of theft or loss of our iPhone, the person who has found or stolen it you will need our Apple ID and password to be able to activate it again. The Find my iPhone function is also activated by default to be able to geolocate it while it is turned on and with an available data connection.
The problem is that now through the control center you can turn airplane mode on and off. If the iPhone is stolen, they can deactivate all the connectivity of the terminal with a simple gesture made from the lock screen. It does not matter if we have a numerical code to lock the iPhone since the control center is also accessible, in addition, we can also invoke Siri to do the work for us.
The temporary solution to this problem is to disable control center from the blocking page. To do this, we go to the Settings> Control Center menu and deactivate the "Access with locked screen" option.
We don't know how Apple will manage to fix this bug But perhaps it will eliminate the connectivity buttons when we are on the lock screen, only then will they prevent an outsider from activating the airplane mode to prevent us from locating our iOS device.

Madrid Spain. Update to iOS7 of my iPhone 4S. In correct time, less than 1h. Problem: now I get a black screen every so often that warns me that the marked destination is not allowed. What destiny? I have not marked anything! And it forces me to press a red OK banner several times. It's very disgusting. Any with the same? Solution?
Thank you

How weird, make a backup and restore.
How can you remove the lock with code in iOS7? In settings it only gives the option to change the code.
Do not leave me. If I click on Lock with
code, directly I get "enter the code" and the numbers
below, and above I only get the option "cancel", which is to return
behind.
menu blocking with code - you put the code you chose to block it - and it gives you the option
Cesar thank you. I finally made it ...
It turns out that even if FaceTime is deactivated, you have to activate it in settings-FaceTime and then uncheck the email accounts that go out or have. Then you deactivate again (the scrollable key now with IOS7 is green) and solved.
And that? If you can always turn off from the lock screen ...
Since the first beta I had noticed this detail, the solution that I do is to disable access to the control center that is on the lock screen, another serious question, to be able to disable the shutdown button while on the lock screen
Disabling the power button on the lock screen would be useless, because if you hold down the "home" and "on / off" buttons, it turns off suddenly. And if it is not always left to remove the Sim as the companions have already said.
Is that a bug? I suppose that it is also a bug that they turn off your mobile or remove the SIM. That is not a bug gentlemen. The important thing is that the new system will not allow you to erase the terminal or restore it without entering your password. If they steal it, they steal a brick from us. Another issue is that they turn it off (which is the first thing they will do)
It is very true that if we lose it and activate the airplane mode with the control center, it automatically stops using the internet and therefore can be reached with Find my iPhone.
Even so if you try to restore it always asks for the Apple password and to deactivate it you have to be connected to the internet.
The effect of putting it in airplane mode is the same as if the SIM card is removed, in both cases it is left without internet and therefore without the possibility of being located.
But it would be a useless object, because the moment you try to restore, you would have to connect to the internet and the iPhone would send a signal to its owner that it is located.
greetings.
And why is it not prevented from turning off the mobile with something as simple as asking for the password? In that case, I would have to stay with the "located" terminal until the battery ran out, a precious time to locate it, right? or am I wrong with this solution?
put a thousand passwords to not turn it off, that I take the sim off and I pass them all through the lining ... and try to locate me nice
Without SIM you have wi-fi ...
If you have not selected the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to (or you have selected it previously), it will not connect .. which will not be of any use ..
Man, SBSettings also did the same and nobody ever complained and you can also remove it, and if they also say that when you restore, when connecting to Apple it will not allow you to restore it because the sausages will have a nice paperweight.
Apple was not responsible for the SBSettings.

Another serious bug detected in ios 7.0 on an iphone 4 and 4s is the failure of the control center and the notification center that when you want it stops working and for it to work again you have to turn off the iphone and sometimes it doesn't even work like that
I do not know, that does not happen to me, I have a 4s, I have been with iOS 7 since yesterday. maybe you have to restore. Regards.
It is not removed or restoring in its day I installed ios 7 beta 3 and the problem already appeared to me and since then I returned to ios 6 and when I left ios 7 update and the problem I see that it persists and there are more people who it happens but not to everybody
As easy as blocking the IMEI and so, if that would be a nice paperweight for those who have taken it from you 😉
Personally, what I did was with Jailbreak in IOS 6, I installed a tweak that disappears the option to turn off the device with the lock button and to avoid removing the SIM so easily I have a cover that covers it completely and has small screws to keep it together, I know you could remove them, but at least in what you try it can be located, at least with these measures you do not prevent it from being stolen but there is a great probability of recovering it, since you save a lot of time
I have been on the battery for 10 hours and it is in half what a wonder
A question to see if someone else happens to him, when you look for images in Google having the mobile vertical change it to horizontal and then the images are seen in the middle of the screen? It happens to me from updating to iOS 7 on iPhone 5!
Okay, but what use would a brick be to the thief? It is supposed that he steals a cell phone to use or sell it to other people, at any moment you put another sim or you connect to a wifi and there they detect it, or am I wrong?
See if someone can help me yesterday, update my ipone 5 to ios 7 and install my apps and everything is fine, what happens is now every time I enter WhatsApp or Twitter, give me a message that says (connect to iTunes to receive notifications. whatsapp can include sound balloons alerts on the home screen) and in twitter the same and the message is never removed always that there will be any of those apps I get the message, someone knows why itunes can be connected to see if it was solved and nothing everything remains the same
uuuu! Thanks for the data. I did not notice it! Luckily I have you! I already deactivated it !!! Thank you, I hope this will improve it, there can be no gap.
After much research into the problem of the failure of the control center and the notification center on the iPhone 4 and in some cases the 4s, the solution for it to work is by disabling access to the control center and the notification center from the lock screen as well. The bug is solved even if you click that sometimes it fails too but much less than if you had access from the lock screen, I would still like apple to solve it because I like to access the control center from the lock screen
You can deactivate the control of all that in Settings ... so when your iPhone or Ipad is locked it is not possible to access that. 🙂 Greetings
