iOS 5 is released

[x_Stricken_x]

A lot of mine were apps from Cydia and I haven't synced my phone in a long time...

Ah, I don't know how that will go for you then Luckily, the main apps I use (Facebook, Facebook Messenger, etc) found an update before I upgraded, or were already compatible.

The first thing I intend to ask Siri tomorrow is "What is Xenforo?" I'll post the results.

So will this run like crap on an iPhone4? Similar to the last issue with IOS4 running on iPhone3?

So...that upgrade went horrible...I only have the default apps . Ah well, guess I will just have to start over. At least I still have all my notes .

No, iOS 5 runs just fine on iphon4

Apple this is strike 3 for you.
I'm looking for a smarter smartphone.

Android + XDA.

I finally got the update to work last night on my iphone 4 and I did the new alerts and text options
That's about all I've seen of the "200 new features" though

 

[iTuN3r]

LoL brandon ...i finished updating 4 phones and restoring everything from backup too . Took me couples of hours to finish all 4 of them .

Can't update.

I used this TinyUmbrella trick to get the Update to load.

It still had problems.
I got the 1604 error.
Then I had to restore the device.
Now iOS5 is loaded.

I never have found a complete list of those 200 new features.

It makes me wonder if they'd forgotten the iPod functionality bit...
iOS5 + 3GS = Coverflow jerky slowness and app crash. :roll:

Edit:
Yes, I've done a few hard resets.

Just found a solution to this.
[iPhone]>Settings>General>About>Diagnostics & Usage>Diagnostic & Usage Data
Low memory reports. "LowMemory-2011-10-13-xxxxxx"

So, thinking what could be gobbling up memory? Ah, checked some of the covers used in the album coverflow and they were massive.
Resized them all down to 400x400 at 72dpi and hey presto, smooth scrolling of coverflow returns.

covers in what album coverflow?

 

[trilogy33]

covers in what album coverflow?

Yes.
In other words, the CD front cover pictures that you'd assign to albums.

Thanks Floris.

Some of those features must be just for the iPod? Because I've been all through the settings and quite a few things on that list, I haven't see.

I also haven't found the split keyboard or figured out the twitter stuff. But I will!

Ye i don't see most of the things listed out there like
iMessage
Notification System
Keyboard
“PC free”
System

 

[Trombones13]

a. Does iMessage work at all with non-iProducts, then? I read one source last night that said it could, but I don't think it was right.
b. Is there any way to import Facebook contacts (I see that Twitter will do it, but who lists their phone number in their Twitter profile??) into Contacts and/or Messages, or do I have to awkwardly ask for people's contact information? lol

On a completely different note, I hate that I can't watch Hulu on the iPad without a Hulu Plus subscription, even for free content...and getting to it in other browsers makes the quality awful.

Thanks Floris.

Haven't spotted any tweet buttons yet, but you can undock or split the keyboard by holding the button in the bottom-right of the keyboard that hides it.
