My iPad 2 was ready to install when I woke up. It installed without a hitch, no errors at all. My iPhone 4 didn't download until now, it's been stuck for at least 1 hour. I tried rebooting, plugging it in and still nothing.. Anyone know how to fix the stuck at downloading issue?
Got a tip for us?

I bothered to get out of bed and sync my iPad to see if the Events in the Photos App were back in order. They are, but now they display in the wrong chronological order (oldest to newest), which is back to how it was in Beta 2 for me.
Is anyone else seeing this issue, before I submit a third bug report regarding this error?
Perhaps it's worth noting that I don't have the beta version of iPhoto installed.

Are we talking about the same OS here? I don't think its unusable garbage. Some features don't work but thats because its a beta. I don't really expect betas to be fine, flawless masterpieces.
What about iPhoto albums which are manually sorted? I've been using iOS since 2007 and have never had an issue with pictures not syncing in the correct order until iOS5.
Yes. In fact, I started the OTA update, but then killed off the System Preferences to stop the downloading (or so I thought) because I was going to install the full updated image (I didn't trust OTA updating yet). I plugged in the phone to charge, and noticed that a little while later it rebooted itself as part of the update process.
Seems to happen when you turn off the display with the standby button then close the smart cover. Also various issues with video playback in YouTube etc. Same on the 2 iPads (video issues only) and 3 iPad 2's we have (powering off). Submitted to Apple in during beta 3 will test on beta 4 on Monday.
I had problems with photos syncing as well. Do you have the option checked to include videos? iTunes is not recognizing how much space your recorded videos are taking up. Once I unchecked "include videos", my photos synced fine. A little annoying, because I wanted some of the videos I recorded on my phone. Might have to remove some things to get them back on.
Far more important than the space saved is that I don't have to resync my phone for nearly an hour to get back my photos, music, and applications the way they were before I moved to the new system.
Uh oh your gonna upset the people here who don't understand the word BETA and think everything is suppose to work just like 4.3
Interesting issue of note...
I wasn't aware that an iOS update was available until I woke up this morning. Looking at my phone, the screen indicated the update was available and I initiated the update... which had already downloaded automatically during the night and was awaiting my OK to install it.
The problem? My phone was out of range of my wireless signal so it downloaded via cellular data. As I am on a 200MB data plan, I received a notice from AT&T that I had reached 90% of my monthly data. Personally, I think when an OTA update is available, YOU should have the option of downloading it instead of downloading automatically.

looks like they've slightly tweaked the notification lock screen again.
compared to iOS 5 beta 2 and 3, where the notifications did not have any borders on the sides (see image above) for the notifications stack, beta 4 seems to have added borders to the sides of the notifications stack on the lock screen... a tweak i don't necessarily agree with -- looks out of place, imo
regarding photos:
- as mentioned before, photo albums will need to be re-synchronized with iTunes
- camera roll seems to have been added back (i'm assuming it's because i've done periodic iCloud backups)
- photo ordering in the albums and camera roll seems to have been corrected.
other than that, iOS 5 beta 4 seems to be pretty smooth so far; no bugs/crashes yet. we'll see how it goes, as it has only been a few hours with the new beta release.

camera roll never left, what do you mean?
as for the notifications, they were like that in beta 3 afaik. any new notificaton is in the black bubble on its own, then once screen goes you get the stack. unless you mean something else as not too clear
weird. after the install, i instantly checked the photos app to see if the photos have disappeared and i got the generic "no images/videos" screen. however, after a few minutes, i loaded the photos app again and my camera roll re-appeared.
regarding the notifications, i probably didn't explain myself clearly, but i'll try again.
see how the image above shows the lock screen notifications stack on the image to the right? notice the borders/lines above/below each notification separating them from one another? there is now an added border to the sides of these individual notifications.
does that make any sense? if not, i'll try to grab a screenshot of mine and upload a pic later to compare with the one above.
oh that does make sense now, sorry. i've not seen that yet as not really left it alone long enough to see lol
After installing it to a 3GS and a iPhone 4, as new phones (NO restore at all), here is what I found:
Bluetooth stack is messed up. With beta 3 my Sony headphones MW600 used to work flawlessly. With beta 4 it is absolutely impossible to listen to any song without the sound cutting off.
By monitoring processor usage with iStat, I could see a constant Load Average above 1. With bluetooth headphones and iPod running, it increases to more than 2, which explains the choppy sound.
Such high processor use of course means an excessive battery drain. And I tried disabling each and every setting such as wifi, location, push, etc. Not even in airplane mode it gets down to beta 3 cpu levels.
For those unfamiliar with the "Load Average" index, it means that if it is 1 than the processor is in full use. It if it more than 1 the processor is overloaded, with a queue of instructions waiting their turn. Beta 4 had it always above 1 while beta 3 keeps it very low (around 70% load with bluetooth+ipod).
Since I also greatly depend on the disabled tethering functionality, I decided to go back to beta 3.
