Upgraded to iOS7 on my 4S, and my "Other" shot to 9.17GB. Nothing I did would make it reduce in size, had to do a full new phone restore  Seriously don't understand how hard it could be for Apple to fix this issue that's been going on since the first iOS.

Looks like 64bit isn't the "gimmick" all the uneducated naysayers were claiming it was.
Several developers have already created 64bit versions of their Apps, and many have added new features that were not possible on the iPhone 5/iOS 6 because the performance simply wasn't there. Moreover, developers have been able to take 64bit code directly from their Mac Apps and port it over to the 5S/iOS 7, bringing additional desktop features to mobile devices.
This is a bigger deal than most people think. Although we take many features on our PC's for granted (the ability to edit photos/video or do 3D animation) many seem to forget that this capability was once reserved for high-end workstations by companies like Silicon Graphics. This is how it's always been in the computer world - as technology gets better and our PC's get faster, software that was once the domain of mainframes or minis has trickled down to the PC. We are now seeing this with mobile devices (phones/tablets).
Apple making a 64bit processor and OS is going to accelerate this on iPhones and iPads since developers can share a 64bit codebase between the Mac and iOS. Developers who have spent time creating and optimizing 64bit code to perform various high-end functions on the Mac are now going to be able to bring some of those over to iOS devices.
I predict Microsoft is going to quickly follow this path as well (64bit Windows Phone). With the huge number of programs running on Windows, developers have a massive resource of code/features they can also port to WP.
Apple and Microsoft are the only two companies who can really make a smooth transition in bringing powerful desktop features to mobile devices. Everyone else is pretty much left out. I'm just wondering how long it will take MS to release 64bit WP.

this whole pro to 64bit is probably in anticiptation of an iPad "pro", thats like 13", and a true answer to the laptop. It will be able to run desktop class apps.

Now I have absolutely no need to upgrade to the 5s, until the 6 comes out with a larger screen.

This makes sense as the paradigms for a touch device and traditional PC are significantly different.
I doubt we'll see Photoshop on an iPad. But I can see Adobe making a "lite" version. And by "lite" I mean that it's a subset of all the features of Photoshop, not that the features themselves are lower quality versions. This will be possible as Adobe can take their existing 64bit highly optimized and fine tuned algorithms and bring them straight over to iOS virtually unchanged.
So to slightly reword your post, I think it's safe to say we'll see Apps with desktop class features, not the entire desktop App itself. Quote:

BTW the 64 bit Exynos is ready, and will be in the next Galaxy phone | Don't need to. What many people don't realize is that Apple made iOS 7 to have the same application binary interface (ABI) as Mac OS. For people who don't understand that term, it basically means that if two operating systems have the same ABI then an App compiled to run on one should also run on the other.
This is possible because Apple's implementation of ARMv8 is slightly different from ARM's standard specification. Clearly Apple has thought way ahead when they designed the A7 in order to allow developers to easily code for both iOS and Mac OS, and to start bringing features (by way of existing code) down to iOS.
As to a 64bit Exynos, the chip might be ready but what OS will it run? Just like there are numerous bloggers intent on minimizing the significance of the A7 and Apple's move to 64bit there are also numerous bloggers claiming that Android can be converted to 64bit virtually "overnight" and that making a 64bit DalvikVM will benefit all existing Apps. It's not going to be nearly that easy or "clean".
And unlike iOS or WP (who have "parents" in Mac OS and Windows), there's no huge library of 64bit software developers can call on to start bringing desktop class features to Android Apps. Nobody's coding Photoshop (or similar high-end software) in Java.

. | Agree! Just look at Win 8 and all the negative feedback it have. Win 8 is good on a tablet/cell phone but not on a PC. I actually downgrade my laptop which had Win8 install to Win7. Took a long time to get all the drivers but is well worth the time.

Not sure if it is the phone or android 4.3 but when I am using wechat and other messages at the same time my Z1 lag like crazy and drains battery too. Phone was sitting at 70% and down 22% in a few hours..... switch back to iphone 5s and no issue like this at all........
My other friend who also message a lot had the same issue with her 4s.

wechat drains my battery pretty quickly as well, using the iphone 5. Feels like it uses more power than whatsapp.
No lag though.

I was having major performance issues with 7, and bad battery drain. I tried a full wipe and restore, but that didnt' fix it. This time I tried a wipe and start from scratch, reinstalling apps. Performance was fixed, but it still drains 10-15% battery a day, and I only use it about 30-60 mins a day. 7.1 didn't fix this either 
It is connected to wifi on idle, and checking email.. if that is draining the battery that much, wow

Is there a way for the default Mail app to automatically download full versions of HTML emails?
5S on IOS 7.1
Some of my work emails are showing up as plain text when it should be HTML and it's really really annoying to scroll all the way to the bottom and pressing the "Download full page"
ps. Lack of a notification LED is one of the stupidest oversights in today's day and age. Not sure why anyone would want to use an iPhone as a work phone (or personal phone) without one

You can use the flash as a notification light. Its in the settings.

^yes but that's only one and done. If you miss it you do not see it. You have to constantly press the home button to turn on the screen to see if you have any notifications or not
Unlike Blackberries and most Android phones where there is a light that beeps every few seconds letting you have a message/email/text/push notification waiting
You can even set different colours LEDs depending on what type of notification

Unfortunately i have not found a setting for it, only for it to use the flash led when the notification comes in. At least not Jailbroken, anyways.
And even if there is some sort of JB hack, it's on the wrong side anyways so you would have to leave the phone face down at all times. Bottom line is no front led notification light is a major oversight.
Don't even get me started on the lack of numbers/symbols on the keyboard w/o toggling. Wow. I knew that not being able to change the KB on IOS is a limitation versus other phones, but I didn't know it was that limited...

if you're so unhappy with it, sell it and get a nexus 5 and be done with it.

There are plenty of other devices I would suggest you to choose from, maybe a Blackberry since you love the notification light and the fact that Blackberry has a physical keyboard might appeal to you more.
I think a lot of iPhone/iOS users are more then happy with a simple notification. I myself have a pebble so I can check notification whenever I want with out touching my phone.

Yeah, you're right. An iPhone is not for me. Unfortunately this is a work phone. I have Note 2 as my personal phone and have gone thru 3 other Android phones (including Nexus 5). Only my first Android phone (original Galaxy S) from 3 1/2 years ago didn't have a notification light, which is why i'm surprised the latest 5S does not have it.
As for Blackerries, yeah have used 4 different ones for work in the past 5+ years and they finally kicked us off BB's. Too bad they didn't really give the OS10 a chance.
I do find that the predictive text (and swype capability) on the Swiftkey (keyboard) on my Android phones work quite well tho
And lastly, a smartwatch is definitely on my "to buy" list. Just waiting on the moto 360
Anyways sorry for the rant, back to my original question. Is there a way to enable auto-download full HTML messages for emails? TIA
