Can you respond to messages when they pop up, or do you still have to go into the actual messages app?

No, you can't. What it does is tapping on a notification leads you straight into the Messages app and the reply field.

Loving it so far, but I'm disappointed as well that iPhone Safari does not have tabbed browsing. Kind of boneheaded on their part.

Well the update deleted some album artwork...lame. Looks like I know what I'll be doing over the next couple days.

I think it's a significant enough upgrade to lose the jailbreak over. Mine was JB'd on 4.2.1 until iOS 5.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

All of my ringtones are gone, but they are there when I sync on my computer.

Wireless syncing isn't working, keeps timing out, not sure what I'm doing wrong there.

And iCloud keeps failing and won't work either.

This after it took 13 hours to update.

I do like the update, but having 3 more devices to do, it's not looking super promising and more stressful than it should be.

I had no problem wireless syncing last night. Didn't realize at first that I had to have phone charging. So I was plugged in to my laptop syncing wirelessly. That was silly bit it did work.

Took me about 3 hours to do my phone but that's because I had the errors at the end. Worth it though.

With iCloud, will it back up all my music/movies? I realize I only get 5GB for free, but if I can put up all my files, rendering my PC useless, I would in a heartbeat.

And if it does do all my music/movies, how?

I still can't get icloud to even work, so any help would be appreciated. And can I share my iCloud with my wife's devices?

Thanks!

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Couldn't even download the software for my iPad. At least I got it on my phone, I'll try again tomorrow.

i tried about 35 times to download the iPad update yesterday after we updated our phones, no dice. it would just get a download failed message or something.

i then tried again when i woke up, it was all downloaded and upgraded in 20 mins.. lol.

All of my ringtones are gone, but they are there when I sync on my computer.

a few of our ringtones were missing as well, even though they appeared in itunes etc. i then removed and re added them, but 1 of them just dont show up at all. very weird..

IMO iCloud is very cool, but since it limited with 5gb, im just sticking with the old way.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

So much stuff......so far I am digging it. My sister in law hates it though, too much change for her LOL.

Weird, because it really isn't that much change function wise if you use it like iOS4. Women, SMH. Wait, sister in-laws, SMH!

Very helpful video

Video is cool and all for a rundown, but it would be better if he walked you through how to set up a bunch of those things.

Love the notifications addition!

Like adding Wi-Fi/AirPlane/Bluetooth/etc... to your Notification Center?



Or is that a Jail Break feature?

I am still trying to figure that out myself...

UPDATE: Yes, Jailbreak feature...

Why Apple? Why do you fail where others easily exceed just like that? Great stuff added, but always feels like you hand out scraps instead of the whole meal

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

The lack of wi-fi button is still ridiculous. That was the one thing I was hoping they would add to 5. Maybe in one of the future version of 5.

Automagically?
