How do I downgrade my iPhone 4 operating system back to IOS6? I cannot stand IOS 7. (Vanity)

I just downloaded IOS 7 on my iPhone, and I cannot stand it. It is draining my battery. I cannot delete messages or voicemails easily. The calendar function is difficult to navigate. I just plain don't like it. I tried to restore a backup, but that only restores contacts and music, not the firmware.

Thanks.

I don’t have an iPhone, so I didn’t pay much attention, but Rush spent a long time last week or the week before explaining the go-around for the battery drain. It’s on his website with pictures.

I'm with ya. I HATE iOS 7. I've tried "downgrading" and it didn't work.

The main thing I hate about iOS 7 is its "Droid like" UI. I really liked the older iOS interface.

I've pretty much put down my iPad Mini and gone back to using my original iPad. Stuck at iOS 5.3, but it's jailbroken and does everything I want it to do.

I pretty much feel Apple screwed the pooch on iOS 7 (gee, like MS did with Windows 8) and my iPad mini is for all intents and purposes, "a brick."

My very large fingers are just too big for iOS 7. I just got too sick and tired of "pressing the wrong thing" and having to carry around a stylus.

Dammit Apple, if I had wanted a Droid I'd have bought one. Oh yeah I DO own a Droid. A Google Nexus 7. Even Google was smart enough to know that "underlined text links" suck and largely doesn't use them anymore. Apple? MEH.

Anyone in the market for an iPad Mini 64gb WiFi model contact me via Freepmail.

Following to see if it’s possible, can’t stand the 7 either.

You must be doing it wrong, I suggest that on Monday you call their spokes person, his name is Rush Limbaugh and he can tell you all you ever wanted to know and a boatload more about Apple products. Oh that is is if you can catch him between Tea and Book monologues.

If it’s draining your battery, it’s probably because it turned Wifi or Bluetooth or GPS on without your knowing. Try checking them and turning them off if they are on.

I read somewhere that you cannot revert.

Bummer, right?

The best way is to buy a Samsung.
