iOS5 installed

**Zoots** · 7th June 2011

Got this installed now. Looks great. Notifications are spot on - nice animation.
Cloud has a non-working button at the mo that says "Buy more storage". Nice to go into the app store though and connect to the cloud and see aaaaaaall my purchase history. Jesus. Never knew I'd got that much.
Location services is out on it's own menu now instead of in General, reminders and Twitter all looking good. Choose any photo /web page or whatever and tap the options button to bring up a nice little tweet box with a paper clip showing the attachment and an option to add location. iPod icon gone - now called music with a music note icon. Tried the OTA software update over wi-fi and it said the network is unavailable but it had a good old try anyway. Usage has a storage section which shows the Twitter app I just installed as 10.3MB. On off buttons in menus are rounded now not square. Cloud backup works flawlessly and quickly over wi-fi has it's own manage storage section where you can see what's up there and how big it all is. Notification centre allows you to choose apps that will have notifications as banners or normal alerts, how many items to show and if to show on the lock screen. Option also for a badge app icon on or off. Keyboard menu has a shortcuts section where you can add abbreviations and the keyboard will type a phrase - the built in one is omw (on my way). Emoji is in there too. iTunes sync isn't working for me - it says it will sync when my PC is next available. That might be a setting in iTunes for wireless. Camera's HDR button is now an options button which has on/off checks for HDR and grid. Camera shortcut from home screen is brought up with a double home click along with the iPod controls. Oh, albums in the photo app. Add new albums and move photos to them on the iPhone. Nice.
Think that's it I can see at the mo.

Cheers zoots, a nice list there. Looks like apple are finally catching up with some cydia utilities.

Mac owners only though

As goes the old beta adage - it's truly for devs to work on their apps. But I was eager to fanny about with iMessage and the cloud stuff. Curiosity satisfied though I'm reverting back to 4.3.3 today as this build and particularly apps not being ready for it, it's just that little bit too buggy for consistent use. For example, after I've posted this in Tapatalk, I'll probably have to force close it down as half the time half the screen goes blank and it's unusable. Also badly missing SBSettings & RemoveBackground and though it's pretty good being able to swipe the SMS notification on the lock screen to open up the message app, I'm really missing the quick send of iRealSMS. Battery life is dreadful as well - lost 38% overnight with all push and location etc switched off.

Oh, and I can't stand seeing TESCO at the top of my screen for a minute longer..

i've been pondering the same zoots, thing is im not having a lot of problems with any apps to be honest, its mainly battery life that killing it for me. Other than that I think its all pretty cool. Some of the probs I had stopped after I rebooted the phone too.

I hear ya mate.

I'll probably end up banging it back on when the next build is released. I did all this with the iPad betas.. For now tho it's good to have Infinifolders and Gridlock on. Hate not being able to have what I want where I want it. If I could be arsed I'd go with the tethered JB but the way it was eating battery I'm certain I'd end up with it flat somewhere.
