Unbelievable. 5.1 OS versions later and we STILL can't delete ANY pic from our phones, only ones taken with the camera. STILL can't choose a "check all" option when editing email messages -- forced to select each message individually to delete/move/copy, etc. STILL can't add attachments directly to a message while in the mail app. And now comes the latest farce from them in the form of YET ANOTHER incremental update to a product and calling it new instead of introducing fresh, innovative features. I'm fed up.

What the hell was all that "we're finally allowing you to cut the cord" crap about when they introduced 5.0 if I'm STILL having to connect to my computer for anything?!!!!!!!

They've got one more chance with me in the next iPhone. I've tried my damnedest to be loyal since 2007 only for them to try to screw me outta my money by releasing these half-baked updates to both the hardware AND software in order to boost their profits and reputation. I can't possibly be the only one who clearly sees what they're doing...am I?

The competition's way too stiff at this point. This ain't 2007 anymore when they truly were revolutionizing things. More often than not with EVERYTHING they do these days they're just playing catch-up to what Android has already done, especially on the software side of things. And coming soon, with the new cameras and related software on the HTC ONE-series phones, once again they'll be lagging behind in the feature department.

Not only did I not upgrade to 4S, I'm surely not buying this "new IPad" just for a bump in screen resolution. And it's thicker and heavier! It seems trivial but if there's any tell-tale indicator of where this company is going after Steve's death that would be it. When in their history up to his demise did a new product come in that wasn't thinner and lighter?? Spare me the crap about the radios necessitating the extra bulk. Excuses, excuses. I'm so done if they release another 3.5" phone in the next update. I truly hate Android but just to demonstrate my frustrations with Apple I will switch so help me god. Are you coming with me?

Hell no. Been there, done that. Had Blackberry, then Android, now iOS. Not going back to the half-finished-always-feels-like-a-beta Android world. No Way!
 
So after update the phantom usage was gone completely. Then I restarted iPhone, set iPhone idle for 20 mins and got 5mins of usage....not as bad as b4 ios5.1 but still not fully fixed
 
There are new wallpapers on the iPad. I noticed one used in the keynote today on the new iPad and it's there now in iOS 5.1.

Of course I could just be horribly out of date and missed them in the previous update.
 
can't even get the update, even through direct download. Guess I'll have to wait until next week to do it because Apple could give a rats ass about their servers.
 
I think the issue with the 4S and AirPlay is fixed. First streamed Pandora, and now Music, to a Zepplin Air. First time I've been able to do that for more than 60 seconds. Fingers crossed, this seems fixed in 5.1.
 
AirPlay

Am i the only one that Cant find the AirPlay icon after upgrading to 5.1?

It's a bit soon to judge that, I think. If it hasn't crashed after a few days I will be VERY happy. It's be great for whoever gets my iPad 2010 when I get my iPad 2012.
 
Definitive answer about 3G toggle on iPhone 4S

Hey all

So far there has been a lot Of info thrown around. I'm wondering if someone can definitively say if their 4S has the 3G toggle to manuly switch from 3G to 2G/EDGE. I'm on Rogers in Canada and ive only seen someone in the Netherlands who has the switch. Thanks for the help and it would also be great if someone could say if it's possible to not have the camera slider when the device is at the lock screen. Thanks again!
 
There was a 3G toggle in one of the beta's, I'm surprised this was removed based on some accounts.

A side note: A friend of mine was/is having issues with his 4S battery (in Los Angeles, where 3G service is terrible). As he isn't tech savvy I went with him to his genius bar appointment. I was surprised to learn that in Diagnostics and Usage, Facebook is known for low-memory issues on the iPhone. Apparently this is a well known issue within Apple and one that they have been on Facebook's case about. As an ex-AAPL corp guy myself I was disappointed to learn this as everyone, myself included, generally has Facebook running in the background. His point was proven when he closed just the Facebook app, as memory was freed and the iPhone was much faster.

From that moment on, I refuse to keep my Facebook app open unless I need to use it. Then it's closed.

Hope that little bit of info helps some :)
 
The 3g toggle switch has definitely appeared on my 4s. I'm on o2 in the uk.

don't see the Facebook integration in :apple:iOS 5.1 :confused:

I don't believe we will until Facebook makes a better app that doesn't eat up resources. This may be the reason Apple opted for Twitter integration instead of Facebook in iOS.

- Review error logs in "Settings" -> "General" -> "About" -> "Diagnostics & Usage" the finally "Diagnostic & Usage Data".

Also, check "Don't Send" diagnostic data to Apple if you want to save battery life. I realize Apple could use this data to improve future iOS releases, but if battery life is imperative leave that to the developers.

Why? (Help)

Why do I get a message in iTunes when I have my (iPad2 or iPhone 4S) connected and trying to download the update it says "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPad (or iPhone). The network connection could not be established."

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Agreed. The Facebook app sucks on iOS. Not sure about Android. It frequently crashes on me and sometimes it freezes when I open it. I'm surprised with all the programming talent they should have, that they can't make a good app :(

This update makes it read 4G in the title bar if you're on ATT's HSPA+
Click to expand...

I have to wonder if the 4G indicator just replaced the 3G regardless if it is HSPA+ connection or not. I updated to 5.1 and went just outside my house and it says 4G. I ran a speed test and got only around a pathetically slow .5 MBps (same as I did before around my house). Not that I was expecting any speed increase after the software update, since it all depends on the cell tower you are connected to, but it is very misleading for them to just make everything say 4G now if that is what they are doing.

Thank you both. This helps a little, it seems that internationally the 3G switch is there but ATT in the states is excluded for some reason. If anyone from Canada or rogers can chime in on this that would be great for my situation but it does appear the 3G toggle IS in 5.1
