iOS5 Question

[DeeKay86]

Nope, no different to just rebooting the phone, it's a 44mb update, just like applying a windows update really.

I think I read it reduces your message limit down to 1000 on the phone and if you have more the phone explodes

Lol you b@stard! :rofl:

 

[paddymph]

How do I download the update then if I don't need to plug the phone in? I know it's over the air but how do I initiate that?

 

[paddymph]

Found it.

Settings > general > software update.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

ooo my first OTA update! Hope it goes smoothly!

 

[Millsy]

Anybody have any issues with the update? Mine updated fine but lost half of my music, had to reconnect it to the computer and sync the music back onto it.

Pain in the arse tbh.

 

[Kane.]

Do you have to have the computer on? How long does it take? Will it do it over 3G?

 

[DeeKay86]

Has to be done over wi-fi as its a 44mb download.

Took me a total of 6 mins to fully download and install the update. Did not lose any data etc. Thank f*ck.

edit: its completely independant when updating over the air. Your computer does not have to be on or anything.

 

[Jaff.]

needs at least 50% battery or to be plugged into the wall too btw

 

[Gally]

My cloud isn't working. I failed hard!

 

[N0ddie]

Why is the update so big through iTunes?

 

[Revels]

Because you get the whole thing again. This is just adding the little bit on.

 

[Kane.]

I was hoping they was going to do that. iLike.

 

[sneeks]

Safe to say the update has made no difference to my battery life, still unable to last a day.

 

[dk]

hmmm, i'm the opposite, rolling with a classic iPhone 4 and after a busy day have 80% left.

I would normally have around 30-40% since iOS5 came out, so i'm happy so far.
phones a lot quicker too

 

[Herr Flick]

I've just updated my misses' iPhone 4 to the new software but it keeps crashing. When she tries to text someone it will go back to the home screen and lose all the text. Any ideas?

 

[DannyR]

Mine seems the same as normal. iPhone 4.

 

[Leeshez]

I have just started the download. See how long it takes.

 

[dk]

I have just started the download. See how long it takes.

Mine was downloaded and updated within about 3 mins.

 

[Gouldy]

I used the install via handset, I'm impressed that a phone can update itself.

I'll see if the battery fix has worked over the next few days.

 

[ado]

I'm on 6% now with

12hr 37min standby
5hr 32 min usage

Lots of youtube upload, vid playback and video using flash.

+1

 

[Al_G]

Would you say this is pretty good?

I've got a 12 month old 4.

 

[Jaff.]

helped my battery slightly, still not awesome tho but at least its lasting all day now so its charging at night

 

[Gouldy]

My battery life has significantly improved today. So has my mrs 3GS, although bizarrely her 3GS battery life life is slightly better than my 4.

 

[eugegall]

iOS 5.0

iOS 5.0.1

 

[jesus]

I've not got ios5 and I want it. My 3GS is jailbroken with ios4 with a programme called sn0wbreeze which I believe is from the makers of redsn0w. What do I have to do, step-by-step? I'll give anyone that can help a hug

 

[DannyR]

Plug it into iTunes and update

Hug?

 

[fletch8]

ive heard of a lot of problems with updating to IOS5? any truth?

 

[VeinAST]

ive heard of a lot of problems with updating to IOS5? any truth?

Nope.

 

[AK]

No issues.

 

[Gouldy]

My first charge on on IOS 5.0.1 has essentially doubled my battery life from IOS5.

Yesterday I got 5 hours use and 14 hours standby before my handset switched itself off, it's a very good update IMO

 

[Ads_172]

My battery life is much better.

CBA to paste a picture but I have 46% left with usage of 4.5 hours and 1 day 4 hours standby.

My iPhone 4 has never gone 48 hours between charges. It might today.

 

[dk]

What determines usage in the stats, how are people actually using their phones for 5 hours a day?

 

[jam.]

Has anyone noticed wifi intermittently dropping on their iPhone recently? (not necessarily since the update)

I've had O2 send me emails twice in the past couple of weeks saying that I'm very close to exceeding my 3G bandwidth. When I'm at home, where I should be connected to my wifi. I don't think its a problem with my router as everything else is not having the same issue.

Mine was the odd phone call and mainly texting / browsing the web

 

[MaLicE]

4s 64gb white, baller spec.

 

[jesus]

Plug it into iTunes and update

Hug?

Then re-jailbreak it? Is that all I have to do?

 

[DannyR]

Why re jailbreak it?

 

[jesus]

I don't know. It's jailbroken now, will it just download ios5 and stay jailbroken?

 

[Munson]

No. You will lose any jail break and/or unlock. I think the question was more "why do you want it jail broken?"
