Having the "enable 3G" option is nice to have. Saves my battery seeing as my home and job both lack 3G coverage

When I access the camera from the lock screen, then close the camera app, I get the location arrow, and that's fair enough but when I check location services it says the camera hasn't checked location in the last 24 hours..... Weird.

My home screen is going funny when I hit the camera button. The button doesn't work and the screen just jumps around.

Edit, push it up - yes I am an idiot:)

Wifi or 3G browsing? If its the former definitely not.

I'm interested in this too as the battery in my 4s is brutal compared to my old 4. Your battery life above though seems worse than mine. I went from 100% to 98% with 28 mins usage and 37 mins standby when browsing. Left it on overnight and it's now at 90% with 1hr 19mins usage and 8hrs 52mins standby. I guess thats ok but wonder why the usage increased so much overnight. I wonder is it the push email and notifications? I keep Bluetooth and location services off. Wifi on. Only got 2 mails overnight.

Do you have to do that through itunes.

No, if you have iOS 5 you can now download the software update from the phone if connected via wifi

Make sure your iOS device has at least 50% charge
Connect to WiFi (You can't download this over 3G, sorry)
Navigate to Settings -> General -> Software Update
Click install update and wait for it to download
Your iPhone will automatically restart and apply the firmware. This takes around ten minutes.
Your iPhone will reboot and appear to be applying again, this will take around five minutes.

I like that they now allow you to delete photos from the photo stream. They should have allowed this from the start! Now I can finally delete the stupid accidental photos and screenshots I'm prone to taking!

Other than that, apart from the camera shortcut always visible, I don't see any difference.

3G browsing is a bigger battery drain.

That's really bad!

I now have 90% battery and have 32 min usage and 2 hours 30 standby. That's with Bluetooth enabled and connected to car kit for hour and 3G enabled.

when i got my 4s first the battery was brilliant. anywhere from 28 to 35 hours on a single charge. in the past month i'm now getting 24-26 hours. my usage habits havent changed.

Since I took my phone off charge,I've been browsing here for about 20mins and I've used 4% battery connected to wifi!

It seems a slight improvement!

Also it's good to have the 3G switch back!

For an iTouch G4 user I can't see anything new apart from the camera button on the lock screen.

I've noticed the Bluetooth icon stays on the status bar on the home screen now regardless if it's paired or not. Like this on my iPad, not on my 4S though

I would say from the Camera Roll, yes. But the iCloud Photo Stream, we couldn't before the update.

Not from the Photostream album you couldn't.

What's the permanent camera option? I'm not updating to 5.1 but interested in what this is!

AFAIK, it just means the camera icon will always be available on the swipe screen - not just when you double-click the homebutton in lock mode.

Lads,
I have the the current software and when i try and dowload the iphoto app in the apstore its telling me that i havent ot IoS 5... anybody else come across this problem?

keith_d99

Just deleted a photo from photo stream - says that "This will only be removed from photo stream on this device"

So does that mean the photo still exists on iPad photo stream for instance?

Hasn't this been an option for a good while now? It was one of the first things I switched off when I got my phone.

It wasn't available on the 4S until now.

It was missing from the 4S.

Ah, I see. Strange that they had left it out for the 4S as it really does help with the battery. I think I'll wait a bit before I move to 5.1, just in case there are any unforeseen problems.

reception has improved, where i work i now get 3 bars of 3g, before today it was full bars edge, also a notorious black spot on my commute where i'd get 1 bar of edge i now get 3 bars of 3g, very doubtful that meteor updated their network at all.

Hi guys. I have both my iPad and iPhone 4s jail broken and when I try to update via the software update tab, it gets to the very end of the progress bar and then says an error occurred downloading iOS 5.1
Anyone having the same issues?

Your hosts file was likely changed to direct away from Apple's update verification servers by your jailbreak software. In Windows open C:\Windows\hosts in Notepad and either remove or add a # before any line that refers to apple.com. I can't recall if you will need to restart the computer for the effect to take hold.

reception seems to be better for me too.

altho' my wifi and bluetooth shortcuts from this site have stopped working

I just tried there. There was no # in front the apple line so I added one but this doesn't help at all. I can't update either device from the devices themselves or via iTunes.
I really hope I'm not stuck with this now.
Has anyone the same problem??.

Same here

Although I like the way if you open safari and don't have a page loaded it doesn't pop up your bookmarks. That used to annoy me everytime.

Same here, although it looks like my battery has improved, almost 4hrs usage and 16hrs standby and I'm at 45%

Battleflag

My battery seems to be alot better after the update

74%
Usage: 4 hours, 10 minutes
standby: 11hrs, 38 minutes

that was listening to music and streaming radio over 3G


though I keep getting a message about Facetime incurring charges from my operator, got it about 6 times now....

As Aidan said, restart the computer or just delete any entries referring to apple in hosts. And reboot.

It feels like I don't have to charge it as often now.
