iOS5 is HORRIBLE

I haven't noticed battery issue on my phone. I have way too many others and I want to throw this thing in the trash or better yet out the window of a moving car at 80MPH.

At first it seemed cool but using apps. Some just hang up now or run slower. My "home" button seems very unresponsive now, the iheartradio app buffers a lot while pkugged into car radio..and to get it back I have to disconnect cable and restart program.

I did notice Pandora was cooler and it displays the info on my car radio now. At least that's a positive? Not worth all the other headaches I'm having. Mostly the unresponsiveness of home button.

So with that in mind can I revert back to the old operating system? Or do I just go buy a droid since that's what it seems Apple wants to be now?

iPhone 4, iOS 5

You cannot revert back to the old operating system. It is not supported.

If you're that unhappy, it's back to a droid for you.

Good luck.

I heard that going in to the Settings App, holding down the power button until the power off screen displays, and then tapping the home button consistently until it returns to the home screen is how you reset the home button.

That's just what I heard, it could be complete hoopla.

You mean actually try troubleshooting? Nah, easier to complain.

tes complain is easier when I'm in forums looking and find everyone having same issues or more. Steve Jobs told me years ago to go with Droid..I didn't listen.
