Facebook connection errors
I would say it's a recent server issue, in the last few weeks, on 3G mind you.
Most people are unaware of bad software design (of websites or apps), requiring faster threshold speeds, which need to be sustained to parse the data.
3G data comes in bursts with latency depending on your location, so really it's a crapshoot save for WiFi which hopefully isn't being fed off a 3G network.
Previously Facebook wouldn't refresh if your memory ran out, so only solution was to close other apps.

I may have to, some reason "General" in my settings crashes. Tried resets, etc. It's also impacting my Visual Voicemail. Would have to lose the JB but if it's effecting normal usage I can live without it for a while.
Now, main question, iTunes is only listing 5.1 as an available update. Checked my ADC accounts and no mention of 5.1.1. Odd.
Would it kill Apple to fix the playlist bug on the iPad? It just doesn't work, plain and simple.
If you mean did they close security vulnerabilities that may or may not be used for JB, I hope so.
Unfortunately, we have no idea "why". It was not in 5.0, but then it was back in the 5.1 betas, but then disappeared again in 5.1 final. We know they "can" do it because it worked fine in those betas. And most if not all of the international carriers support it. I started a thread some time back trying to figure it out and we discovered it was basically just the 4S on AT&T that lacked it. Very very strange, and horrible for me personally.
Same problem here UK 3 network, it is very annoying
Finally...I hope they addressed the infamous "could not activate cellular network" bug - this was driving me crazy.

3 primarily run a 3G network. Their 2G access is leased from Orange (or at least it was) and they started switching 2G off completely in the areas where 3G cover is adequate.

Doesn't really make sense for them to have an option to switch off 3G.
On topic though, just installed on my 4.
Might be a placebo but everything seems so much faster for me...maybe it just needed a reboot haha. But still, just feels really optimised.
Anyone else noticing a speed improvement?
Thats because 3 UK doesnt have an EDGE network they use oranges 2G network and they dont want you constantly roaming on it
Edit:I see someone beat me to it already
. well if you were tethered you did a partial charge!

apple software is bloated. that's why the iOS are so slow with anything higher than 4.xxx. the iPods just don't have the ram to handle the bloated software. the updates should have never been released for the iPod. it's ok for the iPhone as it has double the ram, but with every new update it gets more bloated, so unless there's a extremely important software update that address this issue, I never update. I don't want to ultimately have a brick
Just wait until you see the open tab sharing feature in mountain lion. It's reading list without having to manually add the sites to a list!
When you do the update from iTunes, the download is the whole OS. Wifi update from the iDevice is just a delta update, that is why it is smaller in size. What was reported when you selected General -> Software Update from your iDevice? A Wifi update does not require a connection to iTunes.
EDIT: I just tried and when I hook a iPhone 4 to iTunes it will download a 793.1MB update vs. when I do the update from the iPhone over WiFi the update is only ~47MB.
