iOS5 is out

[DanNG]

iOS5 is now available for download via iTunes. First impressions are positive - I recommend backing up photos etc and then removing all media and apps (by deselecting the sync check boxes) from the iPhone before doing the update.. Some people have had issues when trying to restore.

I just jailbroke my phone a couple of weeks ago. Looks like I'll be restoring and going to iOS5. How much better is it? Do you notice in the iP4 without the A5 chip that iOS5 slows it down a bit?

For some reason, every time I try to restore my iPhone on my PC, it gets stuck in restore mode. I'll have to wait until my GF gets home with her macbook.

Yeah, it looks awesome! I am having trouble Restoring and updating. I keep getting message that says the connection keeps timing out when it is downloading the new software. Getting very annoying.

Are you doing it on a mac or a PC, Ned? Once you finally get a chance to restore your phone, if you're doing it on a PC, let me know how it goes. Every time I try it on my computer, my phone gets stuck and I have rectify it on my GF's computer.

 

[Ned_fisch]

I'm trying to do it on an old computer. Im not sure why it does it. I can transfer music, back it up, and all the rest, just not restoring. I have to used my girlfriends laptop to do anything with it. One of these days I'm going to get a Mac, to make it easier.

I will let you know if I find the solution.

It's a fair bit quicker.. has improved the speed / response of the ip4.
Browsing speed increase is very noticeable - new notification system is really great (you have to turn it on..) and access to the camera from the lock screen and volume up as the shutter button is great. (bout time)
iCloud is going to be huge... Very seemless

I might be getting a 4S next week. We have a couple that live in the next room to us, she is getting an iPhone4S, but giving it to him. She is getting a 3GS in return -.- She pretty much jumps when he says how high.

ANYWAY, I said to him that I'd trade him my iPhone 4 and my Associated TC5 electric drift car for the 4S. He seems pretty keen, so I'll hopefully have a 4S soon.

omg! i restored and still dont work :x

 

[kawasakirider]

Do you still have your old OS, or are you stuck?

I think I just stuffed up... My phone is jailbroken and I've just started to update without restoring. Guh...

 

[DanNG]

omg! i restored and still dont work :x

Do you have iTunes 10.5 installed?

Call quality seems remarkably improved... wasn't expecting that...

 

[Tassie97]

Yes i installed 10.5 before hand and plugged it in and you click check for new software or something and it says 4.2.1 is the current one. man :/ hope i can get it to work :/

 

[J-A-X]

the "4.2.1" wont change until the update is full downloaded and installed. i've just done my phone & ipad with no hassle.
just so you know ....... iCloud only gives 5Gb free space, if you want more space you will be charged a yearly subscription !

the only 'issue' is that i cant see the camera icon on the lock screen, (ip4) but then again I havent been into all the settings etc yet either.... thats next.

EDIT: stop looking, i found it.... you gotta double tap the home button :lol: I love being a geek

I sold my iphone 3gs today.. Updated it to ios5 before sending it off but i didnt get a chance to try it out lol... reason i sold my phone was i was getting the iphone 4s tomorrow.. but My mum screwed me over and now i have to wait... probably to next week but the lady at my local telstra store said they will probably be sold out from tomorrow til next month

To get the camera to come up you have to double tap the home button. I like how you can rotate pics on the phone now, that was something that always bugged me.

iMessage is cool, a few other features are great. Fingers crossed I score a 4S next week

Enjoying mt 4S that I picked up at 8:01 today was the first in the regoin of Albury-Wodonga (100k people) so I was pretty stoked. Got there half an hour early and was the first through the door and out of it again.

Very happy with the 4S, sold my 3GS straight away for a fantastic price and it's been a great day in ALL!

Do you know anyone with a 4? If so, could you take pics of the same thing and post them please?

it wont mater if you restore, the phone will do it for you. just remember that when you jail break and then back up, it will only restore your phone from the last time you backed up BEFORE jailbreaking. i learned that the hard way... was jailbroken for a year and a half... eek lost contacts photos apps.. sheesh
