[eugegall]

Took 50 mins to download at 6pm tonight with virgins 20mb

So whats new then?

 

[VeinAST]

Only took me ten minutes with BT. Thanks.

All the new textones are too long except Noir.

 

[Tonys]

Dont seem too much on a 3G. And the iPad hasnt added too much for me either. Looks like Airtunes wont work with the original Apple TV.
Pretty disappointed, was expecting more.

 

[dk]

Hmm, ok, so on theipad I see shitter wifi, web pages are struggling to load, keep getting server was reset messages (there is no issue with Internet, there never was and it's fine on my not upgraded iPhone) and a nice new shadow on the onscreen keyboard lol.

Folders, can take them or leave them, multitasking, again, overrated IMO.

Where's this mobile me feature in the menu now, can't find it?

 

[dk]

Ffs, wifi in unbearable (iPad), I thought this was delayed to fix this issue?

 

[chris_p]

Mines been downloading for around 3 hours, another 3 or 4 to go lol.

 

[Danny133]

[Lou]

[Danny133]

[dk]

Glad I'm not the only one then, hopefully it will get sorted as web browsing is very frustrating, and I have 16 apps to download and I've got one down in the last hour.

Anybody having wifi issues on the iPhone with the update please?

 

[Dave.]

No wifi probs for me, disappointing update but if it has sorted proximity sensor when on a call it's worth it!

 

[VeinAST]

updated and i have no new text tones? or mobile me? :S

Scroll upwards rather than downwards

 

[Will.]

Thank f**k for this! Sorted my 3G out.

I now no longer want to throw my phone at the wall.

Can't find new text tones either.

 

[john.med]

^iphone 4 only

 

[Will.]

Gay.

 

[john.med]

What OS were you running prior? The new tones are shite BTW

 

[Will.]

Can't remember tbh. All I know is that it made my 3G run like a bag of s**t.

 

[john.med]

I've got the wife's 3g on 4.1 I think, works fine. Just wondering whether I need bother update it for her. The previous iOS made it slow as f**k

Reset network settings.

 

[dk]

Reset network settings.

Thanks, but on the iPad Tom?

I can't see a reset like on the iPhone, its the ipad i have wifi issues on, pages not loading, apps not downloading and i know my conenction is ok as the iphone and laptop are having no issues.

It's funny that the release was delayed because of a wifi issue on the ipad, and yet thats the only issue i seem to be having.

 

[LiquidRich]

So glad iOS 4 is now on iPad, it was starting to get annoying

Reset your network settings – Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.

Does that work?

 

[MaLicE]

this airplay thing... does that mean i can stream a vid i have taken on my iphone to my mbp? or a vid from my mbp to my iphone?? if so how lol? iphone4 btw

 

[Revels]

You can't do it with vids you've taken yourself. It's strange, but I'm sure it's something they'll add.

If you have vids synced from iTunes, then you can airplay them.

 

[jimbo666]

Oh great, only 10 printers supported. All HP too.

I hope more will be added.

 

[Tom]

You can add more than that, but you need 3rd party software

Only with the ATV, you cant airplay to a mac. And Airplay is one way only Device (Mac, iPT, iPhone, iPad) to Apple TV/Airport Express.

I was about to ask this question. I fear you're psychic. Thank you anyway Tom.
