Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Now that I have one...' the **** am I supposed to do now?

Any good/needed apps or changes or anything that I should know about?

Also, I know you can make your own ringtones with the iPhone/iTunes...so, yeah, how?

xilisoft ringtone maker is a great program to make your ringtones. I have it and use it quite a bit. As far as apps just depends on what you want justin.tv is good if you want to keep up with your finances see if your bank has an app MLB at Bat, espn, just whatever you like. NBA 2k12 is even available on the iphone.

Got my iPhone on Sunday and I love it. I was on BB for a while and then Android for the last couple years.

Around the same time I got the OG Droid, I got an iPod touch and knew then that I wanted an iPhone. I just refused to leave Verizon for AT&T.

How intuitive is that iMovie app, Brett? Looks awesome, but I have never been good with editing software before.

Would love to try out Super Stickman Golf MP at some point - anyone interested?

Maybe I'm late to the party but when did they add MP?

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I don't know. I installed this update and I feel my battery life is worse.

I charged all the way up to 100% and sent a few texts and I'm down to 94% already?

Yesterday, the same and by mid-day I was already below 50%.

Not understanding why this is the case.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I used my phone tons from 7 am to 11 pm and was just at 24%.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I read, the update actually didn't fully fix the battery issue:

http://www.launch.is/blog/fail-ios-5...-contacts.html

Some iPhone 4S owners are still having issues with battery life and some are reporting issues with contacts, despite the recent iOS 5.0.1 update.

"The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices,” Apple said in a statement to AllThingsD. “We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”

Apple released the update yesterday, after testing it with end users and developers in the past couple of weeks. Apparently, they didn't test it enough because now the company is headed back to the drawing board.

"It seems like the major issue where people's batteries were draining at about 10% an hour on standby have largely disappeared," user robhoward88 writes in the Apple Support forum. "However, my issue has not been solved! Since I've had my iPhone 4S the battery has been a problem. It hasn't been draining at warp speed but it is definitely going down faster than it should, like 1% an hour on standby. Much quicker with usage, 1% every few minutes of browsing."

He continues, "My iPhone runs warm-ish and is definitely not putting in the performance advertised by Apple. 200 hours standby? No way. 6 hours of video? Not a chance. If I got an hour of video out of it I'd be surprised."

Another user, fatfergus, writes on the Apple forum that the update made his battery worse.

"I was just about to embark on deploying 100 iPhone 4S units in our company but I have just put a halt to it as there is no way that our users will tolerate such poor battery life," he writes. "Apple had better come up with a fix and pretty darn quickly."

Users have also complained about the update screwing up contact information.

"My iPhone could no longer remember the names of any of my contacts!" Paul Hontz wrote on the Startup Foundry. "I opened up the contacts app on my phone and discovered that all of entries were still there but if I got a text or a call my iPhone would have a sudden bout of amnesia and forget the contacts name."

It seems that iOS 5 has been cursed since its launch where users ended up with bricked phones, experienced activation issues and more.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I definitely will get more than an hour of video in. It's not that drastic, but I do feel my battery life is worse.

It's manageable. I can pretty much get through a day with one full charge, but the rate at which the battery is depleting is worrisome.

Truth is, I was forced to use my phone less in the evening, away from battery life, because I worried I wouldn't have it later that night when I needed it most and that's where my concern comes in.

Perhaps coming from an iPhone world where I didn't have percentages (only had the battery bar on the 3G) is skewing with my perception, though I still do think the battery life is worse since I installed the update on the 4S.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Yeah I haven't noticed as bad as an issue over the battery as other people are saying with the 4s, of course I'm still running ios 5.0 I didn't upgrade to the 5.0.1 because I'm wanting to jailbreak when it comes out. And I'm sure that there will be an app in Cydia that will fix the battery issue as well. I don't have anyone to compare with but I've been up since 6 this morning and have used my phone quite a bit for texting, web browsing, some games, and phone calls and I'm currently at %59. Maybe it's just me but I don't feel like I'm having terrible battery issues.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Pre 5.0.1 I was getting good battery usage. Now it's not getting anywhere near how good it was.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Just got my 4S! My first legit iPhone experience. I'm loving it so far. If you're on Gamecenter, my ID is the same as my PSN and Gamertag. Peace! Super Stickman Golf is the ****!
