Just updated my Iphone to iOs5 and got to be said its a decent upgrade. What do other Iphone users think?
Won't be updating due to it still being a worse option than a jailbroken 4.2 iPhone. Still n flash, still no tethering, still stupid video formats, same boring old home screen, same locked down system. I would like to upgrade because there are a few apps I'd like but what I would loose easily out weighs what I would gain. Yakumo PS: bfore anyone says anything, a jailbreak isn't for running pirate apps ( if there is such a thing). It's to open the platform to make it more flexable to the user.
I upgraded a few days ago and I have enjoyed all of the improvements so far. I really enjoy the custom vibrations, so when I am in meetings I can tell who calls without having to check my phone. I really want to jailbreak but I have held back since I had such a bad experience with my 3g and the constant crashing.
Just getting to grips with the custom vibrations. BTW this inst on a jailbroken phone. Im on 5.0 GM I just restored using the ios firmware. Yak, Yeh its well locked down but I don't mind that when the app work so well. Android phones seem unpolished and not as fluid. Plus the build on most Android seem well a bit naff. I used to run a Jail broken 3Gs it was the same unpolished apps that liked to crash.
Not sure what its like over where you are but here 02 were unlock iphones if you had a contract. The did my iPhone 4 even when I was on a 30 day contract. I still want a 4S..
Been running the Beta for a few months now. Absolutely love it. iCloud is fantastic too. iTunes Match however is even better!
It's alright. I could live without the small changes but whatever. The ability to sync wirelessly is what drew me in, although I feel cheated. I didn't mean iCloud syncing when I wanted to sync wirelessly - I want to sync to my OWN computer, wirelessly EDIT: oops, nevermind, I found that setting Overall I'm as happy, no hitches, it even managed to backup my manually added music without any issues and it restored everything just as it was - phew.
Keeps failing to update for me It just won't bloody update... There is a IOS5 jailbreak, however just like 4.3.5 it's tethered.
Updated to it a week ago, like every major release, it drains more battery.. =/ But it runs even smoother and faster than iOS 4 and has some really cool features. (running on 3GS)
Have you used tiny umbrella at any point? Check your hosts file for entries about apple and delete them
Try restoring from DFU mode (backup everything before doing that, after the upgrade to iOS 5 is done (hopefully!) restore from the backup)
I had higher hopes for notification center but it doesn't add much. What good is a pull down menu when i've already unlocked the phone. I'd hoped we'd get the pull down notifications and weather and the like from the actual lock screen so i don't have to unlock my phone. custom text tones at long last and safari seems to be quicker/smoother. All in all a descent update but not the promised mind blowing world changer. Now if Siri was included in IOS5 rather then 4S exclusive it might have been better.
