First time trying OTA. Dire to see "Require WIFI Connection"... like WTF...
I never have stable Free WIFI connectivity outside and my data plan cap at 12GB~! I won't even care if the update were a full 1GB download as long as it allows me to do it thru 3G...
The only place I get good stable WIFI is at home, and well, I rather plug it into my computer then...
Pretty useless stuff to me. a total piece of hurt.

As much as it was a douchy thing for Charlie Miller to do it does show a significant weakness - why doesn't Apple just admit they need help and hire Charlie Miller? it seems that he does a pretty good job finding these vulnerabilities so why not give the man an offer of employment? let him sit around in the office hacking Mac OS X and iOS to pieces, let him scour the source code etc.
Same for me, but not sure. After I left my work location it seemed to do well connecting to 3g. At my work location I was getting only 0.04mbps. It was killing my battery. Fortunately I was able to restore it to 5.0. Not sure how long Apple is going to continue to sign 5.0, so if you want to revert, better do it soon.

Just wondering if anybody else updated and now their iMessages pop up as the persons number and not their name. I'm not a fan... I want the names back...
This happening to anyone else?

OK, so here's an interesting unexpected twist. I had forgotten about the OTA update capabilities of iOS 5 and I started downloading the update on iTunes after it told me an update was available when I plugged in my iPhone. Then I saw this post and decided to unplug my phone and install the update OTA. It worked great. Then about 45 minutes later, my phone went black, rebooted, and showed the 'plug into iTunes' symbol. I thought to myself, 'oh no, what the heck just happened, is the update bad??'
No, the update wasn't bad. I have my phone set to sync wirelessly with my Mac. So it appears that iTunes finished downloading the update on my Mac, then proceeded to continue to install it, albeit wirelessly, on my phone, even though I had already installed it OTA. Now as I am writing this, my phone is in recovery mode and it now seems I have to do a restore. Grrr. I'll post back when I get the phone back up and running...
UPDATE: So the restore is done, now iTunes is copying all my apps, data, music, etc. back to the phone. Sigh. Latest backup was from yesterday, so I lost a little bit of data and a few settings (like password). Apple needs to add an extra check right after the download completes to confirm the device did not get updated (in some other way like OTA during the 800 MB download) before it begins updating the device.

Still sucking battery pretty bad on my 4. 11% in about a half hour. Just doing a little email some productivity apps & MR. Usually would have been maybe 3-4%... Right?
Oop - 12%. Oh well, keep bringing the charger to work.

I have a weird issue with the update. My favorite list is all phone numbers even though they exists in my contacts. Should be names not just numbers!

Mine now shows OTA update in New Zealand on an iPod Touch 4th gen at 40MB.
I'm a bit concerned because while I was downloading it, it said it needed 600MB of free space to install and I only have about 100MB on my 8GB.
How much space did the update take up on your device? Thanks

I've had a similar issue - not in relatio To this update tho. It is in relation to the Mac app store and the app store says I downloaded angry birds (which I did for iPhone but not Mac). It says there is an update, but when I go to log in to update its some .ru email address (I'm in the states).... I guess I need to look into that...
Crap! I forgot MR mobile doesn't copy the original message!

Too bad they can't fix the Lion battery issue, I've lost 2-3 hours from a charge since upgrading. To test things out, I went back to SL and got my 3 hours back.
Oh well.
Oh well.
how soon do you think we will see a 5.0.2 update? i think there should have been a beta 3 of iOS 5.0.1.

fully charged my 4S this morning, installed the updated, and the phone has been on standby pretty much all day, i've done 2 emails and a SMS. and i'm down to 79%. is that good or bad for 5 hours? I wouldn't know as I've never had an iPhone before.
Mine dropped wicked fast during the day after the update (80% in 4 hours using only texting and some Facebook), then automatically switched off at 9%, but was able to turn it on half an hour later and get another hour of usage out of it. Fully charging it now, hopefully tomorrow will be a better indication of how much it helped now that it will be calibrated better.
I hope their quick fix didn't involve clocking down the CPU to save battery life! That would really be the wrong thing to do. It's a shame that they haven't invested some of their billions on new "overdue" battery technology. Still using the same crap battery with poor battery life. Oh well maybe next time.

Phone Numbers instead of Names
That is generally because it has not finished redownloading your address book. Just give it a few minutes, should resolve.

Not sure what you have turned on, but 21 percent for doing nothing all day basically? Bloody hell that's pretty crappy.
