hey thanks! that is convenient without the cable.

Vetteman · 11 November 2011, 01:27 PM

Done.... Got the notification on the Phone...
And I have noticed my battery time has really decreased after installing 5
I hope this puts it back to where it was prior...

walds11 · 11 November 2011, 04:43 PM

What kind of notification did you get? I didn't get one, but knew to install the update anyways because I read it on an iPhone forum.

It was a pop up .... Like for news alerts... Maybe you need to check in settings to see if you are allowing push notifications... I do not remember if it asked me when I installed 5...

Vetteman · 11 November 2011, 11:24 PM

I've also had some issues with the connection with my Micro Cell and WiFi .... Sometimes they just drop out... If I go into settings they reconnect without any other action..

tattooedfagin · 11 November 2011, 11:32 PM

cheers for the nod, been noticing my battery life seemed a bit pants of late, hope this will sort it out

masterserg · 11 November 2011, 01:29 PM

Thanks for letting us know ... my iphone 4 has been kinda flaky after the os 5 upgrade ... battery life definitely took a hit and speed varies ... sometimes it goes fast, sometimes it goes very slow (e.g. a 5 to 10 seconds black screen when I open the music player) ... We'll see how it goes with the new fix.

threemonkeys · 11 November 2011, 02:10 PM

I just updated without a problem. Thank you for the post.

sherwin · 11 November 2011, 05:34 PM

for those who jailbreak... be careful, because the potential exploit might be closed in 5.0.1

bayerische · 11 November 2011, 06:22 PM

Doing it right now.

Great that it finally is over net air.

steelers · 11 November 2011, 07:08 PM

I went to settings - general ,but did not see software up date. I'am I looking in the incorrect file?

steelers · 11 November 2011, 07:16 PM

Could be because I'm in China now and my phone and iPad 2 is from the USA. Any thoughts on this?

Yes, please can you tell us which version of iOS you have installed on your iPad in the moment ? (Settings -- General -- About)

You should have iOS 5 (not iOS 5.0.1) to be able to use the over the air functionality. If you have still a version like 4.XXX installed, than it would be necessary to update with iTunes to version 5 first, before you can use the "over the air" functionality.

Regards,
Alexander

esm · 11 November 2011, 10:37 PM

thanks for the head up - all done "over the air" now for the iPhone and iPad.

(initially hooked into iTunes, but it was taken a while. both devices over the air was about 5 mins all up).

General - Software Update

steelers · 11 November 2011, 10:45 PM

Alex, Thanks so much for your information. I have the 4.3.3 version. I may have to wait until I return back to the states to upgrade.

Glad to hear that I could help - you welcome.

rr-nyc · 11 November 2011, 11:24 PM

I couldn't notice a difference in battery life yesterday but my phone has been of the charger this morning for almost an hour and its down 1% compared to 8% on a typical morning with 5.

I hope this fix is it. I've been limiting my use to extend battery life

xbox · 11 November 2011, 11:37 PM

Worked, as you would expect.

Hope the battery life improves.

masterserg · 11 November 2011, 11:42 PM

Just completed it over wifi. It took less than 20 minutes without a hitch.

BONUS: it did not wipe out my camera roll this time around (as it happened with the OS 5 upgrade) !!

Thanks again for the heads up Alexander!

iOS is Apple's mobile operating system. (Like Windows on a Computer)
If you update the iOS, some bug fixes will get solved and you get more functions as well.

Alexander

ok, you guys talked me into it...upgrading an IPAD 2 right now. will tell you how it goes. always worry it will brick my device

kcmo · 12 November 2011, 01:34 AM

Installed last night. I didn't really notice any battery issues before and I hope it doesn't get any worse with this new update.

smartson · 12 November 2011, 03:48 AM

I went through with the update and it was relatively quick. However wifi sync did not work immediately until after the Mac is restarted. Other than that, everything as expected.
