The only thing I'm missing is my photos , I got everything else. So I "restore from back up" and do my most recent back up which was on 5.1.1 , correct ?
Got a tip for us?

Quite useful.

This will probably be addressed before the public release next week. I'm in the UK and the App Store opens but just shows a blank page.
I've had some problems with a 3GS and a 4S upgrading to iOS 6 (option + update). The update method failed and returned an error and put the phone into a DFU mode loop. (Connect to iTunes and just a blank screen). The only solution was restoring from iTunes. Unfortunately the 4S was not backed up beforehand and now we are using data recovery software to retrieve photos.
Any have any issues with updating as well?

No, restored without any issues at all on my iPhone 4. Though I have never had any problems updating to the GM release pre the public launch.
Lesson learnt I guess - ALWAYS back-up. Use iCloud and it will do it for you.
I can do it in iOS 5.1.1. Just swipe to the left and you get a delete button.
Passbook is reliant on devs to update their apps for this. This should start happening soon.
Has the wifi to cellular feature been removed from the GM? I was really hoping that they kept that feature. It's really handy.
Anyone having screen timeout issues on their 4S? Screen dims when in apps but won't dim or turn off at the home screen.

You are kidding, right?
GM doesn't mean it's released to the public.
If it was OTA, everyone could grab it now.
Wait until the 19th and then tell us it doesn't work.
I thought OTA was for delta changes anyway.
Soundcloud isn't working for me on GM. No problems in the betas. Tried resetting phone and clearing the Soundcloud cache. No dice.
Anyone else having this issue?

No, I'm a registered developer and I had access to all previous beta builds. And as far I know, OTA means that I can update my system without having to plug into my computer, right?
So, as I said, am I the only one having trouble to update?
Just wanted to confirm that I now have iOS 6 GM running like a charm. I wiped the device and installed the GM, then from there I restored it to my latest iCloud backup. As best as I can tell for, all of my data survived the trip and the GM is just as stable as iOS 5, at least on my new iPad. I'm not putting it on my 4S until next week, probably, just because there's not a whole lot I can't live with and because it was a little bit of a hassle. Nonetheless, don't be afraid of iOS 6!
Did you miss all the other posts from people in this thread saying OTA only works beta to beta or final to final. It doesn't work Beta to final. OR something like that.
To get the GM, you have to download the full image and do a alt+restore or alt+update (or shift+restore or shift+update for Windows).
Is anyone having battery issues with the iOS 6 GM?
There is something weird going on as my i4 battery took a 40% dive in 3.30 hours from a full charge.
It was 5pm and my battery was at 100% and now it is 8.28pm and my battery is at 58%.
Mind you that I'm not using the phone at all and there are no apps running in the background, it is just standing in my desk while I work with my laptop.
I did a restore rather than update and once it was done I just restored my latest backup to have all info back.
Am I missing something? Any ideas?
Cheers.

So far, my battery seems to be on par when compared to iOS 5.1. I'll have a batter idea come end of the day.
If you've got time, do a back up + iCloud back up and do a shift+restore in iTunes and then choose to restore from iCloud.
Also, I've noticed that some apps are slightly broken in iOS 6. You might have an app that's crashed and sucking up power.
I've had a few "photography" apps that have been crashing since iOS 6. Hope that works out soon.
Installs on my devices went fine, did iPad 2 AT&T, iPad 3 AT&T, iPhones 4, 4s
iPad 3 AT&T now has mobile hotspot and a clock app
Some bugs I wanted to see if others were seeing on 4s AT&T :
AppStore is buggy in spots, in 'featured', in the sliding row beginning with 'AppStore essentials', it doesn't fully slide to all the selections on the right.
Going in to purchases crashed most times for me, when I do get in it'll actually show iPad only apps which of course don't install.
In general AppStore experience has a buggy feel with even a occasional blank app icon.
I absolutely hate how contacts groups works now, so backwards. Before you could go back and forth between groups easily. Now you must , hit group button, select a group then hit done to go in. To change, you hit groups, unselect the group you selected before, hit the the group you want and then hit done. Hope that made sense, it's a very bad change.
Sometimes hitting Siri doesn't get to the 'asking what you want' part, hitting the Siri circle doesn't activate it.
Posting to fb from notification center won't show in the fb app on your newsfeed as if you had posted in app instead. It will show on your timeline.
I'm just picking on negatives I've seen so far, there are improvements as well. Just feels buggy in parts.
