iOS 4 Initial impressions

Not possible to have any initial impressions yet: download was quick, install is not happening. Even though I already did a backup of phone, install starts over with a new backup that never finishes. Backup progress was only about 2% after an hour..... will try again later when I have time. But this is pretty ludicrously long....

I LOVE the folders. I'm a heavy app user, so I had 6-7 pages of apps. I just condensed that down to a simple page and a half without deleting a single one of my 97 applications.

Isn't that great? This is my favorite feature so far!

D/L'd and installed without a hitch. Set up folders, set up desktop background. Had to unsync and resync photos. Now they're clear as can be.

No issues so far.

Is the battery handling supposed to be better with os4?

One other great feature I love so far... Portrait Orientation Lock. I'm so tired of the screen flip-flopping around as I tilted my hand. This was much-needed.

It did mine for me. all there when it restarted.

?where is Bing?

In the Safari / browser settings in General options

Do you know why my Main Screen wallpaper is also now in the background of my APPS?

Figured out folders - fantastic! Just drag apps on top of each other 🙂

Went out running using GetRunning with a playlist running. On the way back in both paused - but I didnt know Getrunning had paused and I assumed my playlist had ended. This was a first - coincidence with the upgrade?

The extra running wont do me any harm :-D

Greetings,

It's a Great Update, no problems what-so-ever, and everything works perfectly well, and I'm enjoying the new feature set. I don't see any slow down, or any of the other BS Problem stories running around on the forums.

From what I can see, from a network engineers viewpoint, most of these "problems" are self inflicted by not using some common sense, and messing with software, and procedures, they shouldn't be.

I just had one total idiot call me about some issues - he jailbroke his phone, fixed it, and has done all kinds of nasty stuff to it, so now it has bricked. He earned it. It is still fixable, but I'm not going to fix it until I get off. Blasted idiot - thinks he knows more than the Apple engineers. Typical Winblows abuser - they nearly all have a screw loose, somewhere.

Cheers,
M.

Is anyone else bothered by how you have to click and hold on an app in the multitasking bar in order to close it? What if you have like 15 running apps? It's going to be a fuss to close them all...

Wallpapers are nice because you can still have lock screen wallpaper and different home screen background. Just go into Wallpapers and select new image and it will ask if you want to use it for Lock Screen, Home Screen or both. Change the Home screen to one of the non-busy images and there ya go.

There is a bug in the Calendar. The List view is badly messed, events show under wrong days. Day and Month views work OK.
