Re: WWDC 2011

Nice update. I won't talk about it here but it addresses one of my biggest issues with iOS. Very happy

You're up early.....

I'll try this tonight, thanks for the heads up and the change log

Re: WWDC 2011

Just updated to this but having problems with my apps. Backed up. Restored to Beta 3. Restored from backup. On iTunes in the iPhone App Preview section it shows all my apps as they should be but on the actual iPhone none of them are there. Any ideas?

Is it worth me taking the leap and using iOS5 full time now?

Oh go on...

Re: WWDC 2011

It has to be said that these are a bizarre set of updates, Apple seem to be adding long standing "missing pieces" with each beta, I can't remember them doing this before.

Battery life is vastly improved in b3.

What's new?

I've read the link posted but nothings jumping out as new?

Re: WWDC 2011

If the battery issues are cured then I will install b3.

Re: WWDC 2011

Battery is still bad, but nothing like B2.

This looks like a 5 release beta program to me, because they have fixed 85% of the problems already. So GM will be in two releases time.

Re: WWDC 2011

Managed to sort it, don't think iTunes updated properly. Then it messed up my last backup so I have had to start from scratch again which is a bit annoying.

I don't know how but I also missed Beta 2. Wireless sync = awesome.

I think Beta 3 is mainly fixes.

Whats it like in comparison to B1? B1 was fine for me but B2 was a joke.

Re: WWDC 2011

Same if not slightly better than b1

 

[sneeks]

Re: WWDC 2011

I didn't bother to install b2 but I thought the battery life in b1 was terrible.

 

[sn00p]

I'm on 81% which is about what i would be on with iOS4. With b2 I'd have been down to somewhere between 30-40%.

Off the top of my head, individual tones for pretty much everything, seems to be the thing most are raving about. Personally I'll miss everyone in the room reaching for their phone when Tri Tone rings out.

Re: WWDC 2011

Am sticking way Tri Tone.

Re: WWDC 2011

I've always used bell for texts. I wouldn't mind being able to set my own tones without having to JB. Nothing comes close to "You've Got Mail".

[AK]

Re: WWDC 2011

Need to download it from an unofficial source.

 

[MaLicE]

Re: WWDC 2011

Re: WWDC 2011

Anybody else have issues with AppStore on beta 3? Mine doesn't like searching for apps or the top 25, it just says 'loading' until I get bored and quit

Jailbroken?

Jailbroken?

No standard, that's the odd thing.

 

[AK]

Mines doing the same, lol.

 

[The Ironist]

Re: WWDC 2011

Mine has done it a couple of times but a close and open fixes it.

Re: WWDC 2011

Just tried it again now and its working fine.......odd.

Re: WWDC 2011

Wireless syncing is awesome. I even plugged it in with USB while it was transferring some music wirelessly so it would speed up. Thought I would have to restart sync, but it just carried on transferring but faster.

Re: WWDC 2011

^ is it working on Windows yet?

Should do as long as you have latest iTunes beta and iOS Beta 2 or higher.

Re: WWDC 2011

how do i switch back to ios4?? battery life is a joke! 100% to nothing in 4 hours lol!

Re: WWDC 2011

PM AK, think he knows.

 

[The Ironist]

Re: WWDC 2011

Apparently we can't start threads for things that aren't out yet. Obviously different rules apply in Apple than Console...

Mine drains on standby overnight which it didn't do on Beta 1 but does on Beta 3.

Lol f**k!

Just download the 4.3 IPSW from google.

Re: WWDC 2011

Missing LockInfo and SBSettings so frickin' badly. But apart from that iOS 5 is a definate improvement over 4.3.x (not crashing to safe mode near enough daily is good enough for me), don't see it as a massive leap though more like small improvements that should have come as part of iOS 4.0. If anything I'd say it's more iOS 4.5...but I suppose that doesn't sound as impressive in the headlines.

 

[eugegall]

Re: WWDC 2011

a massive leap.

Oh the Irony lol

 

[cava83]

Re: WWDC 2011

I am having issues.

Keeps crashing all the time, randomly. Sometimes it's very unresponsive and just hangs on a screen, which I then have to restart the phone.

Additionally, when hanging up a call, sometimes it says with the hang up screen for around 20 seconds.

Re: WWDC 2011

Not sure what people are expecting for a developer only beta?

It's not intended to be used on your main device.

Officially you can't go back to iOS 4. I'm sure you can though if you try hard enough.

Re: WWDC 2011

Doesn't bother me that things don't work, I know it's a beta and thus, will encounter problems. Was simply stating what was occuring, now that I think about it, was actually a pointless post.
