who have problems after ios5.0.1 updated?

I have a similar issue, updated to 5.0.1 and saw zero batter improvement, but lost functionality of the phone. WIFI shows connected but the server is unavailable, I have gone from great 3G to occassional connectivity to 3G. If I use the supplied weather app the phone locks up. If I try to access a missed call the phone locks up. I tried restoring the phone with zero improvement. Not a happy camper at this point.

My 4S was working fine until I upgraded to 5.01. Even the battery was working well. I used (combination of standby, email, facebook, SMS, MMS) my factory new Iphone for 4 days before I had to charge it. After the upgrade the battery has gone for 100% to 0% in 8hours just on standby.

4 days!!!! Wow. Ive shut most things off and thought 24 hours was good.

I'm going in on Monday and see what a genius can do.

My situation was resloved by doing some work on my end, I know this does not apply to all those who have had there battery or signal messed up due to the update. I was able to get my home WiFi back by boosting my output from 54mbps upto 300mbps. This has solved my problem up not being able to get WiFi from my iPhones.

I hope Apple can solve the rest of your problems and fix all the issues that are happening. I wish you all the best and Keep this thread alive and hopefully Apple will hear your complaints and take action. We are already at 4 pages and counting on this thread alone. I'm sure Apple is buring the Midnight oil to get a fix to the issues that were caused by the 5.0.1 update. This will hurt them for a little bit, unless they can't solve the problem and then it will realy start hurting when people switch to Android or Windows.

I'm personnaly waiting to see what Windows 8 will due to the Phone, Tablet and PC when its finaly released. This will be a game changer and Apple will have to follow suite or be left in the dark again. I'm waiting for Apple to bring a full OS to the iPad so its a table Apple. that is what Microsoft will be doing to Windows 8. I would suggest Apple better have there game together...

I wish you all the best of luck and I pray Apple can solve allot of the problems everyone has been having.

To Apple supports that are monitoring this discussion

I live in Indonesia and I purchased my iPhone 4S from Australia. I've been using it for 2 weeks flawlessly and i updated with 5.0.1, then all the problems start to happen.

1. battery drop

2. unstable signal ( from signal loss, searching and no service )

3. invalid SIM out of the blue ( happened like twice a day )

These issue rendered my iPhone useless. I'm using a lot of function from the iPhone eg. the corporate calendar for scheduling, VPN and many other things, whereeas those function require connectivity and in this case the 5.0.1 rendered my conectivity useless.

The bad things that iPhone support is handled by local carrier that partnered with apple which they are not aware with this matter and iPhone 4S is not sold yet in Indonesia. Tried to contact Austrialian support but the line is always enggaged.

help!!

I have 2 issues. 1) Battery life... I have an iphone 4... and battery now is draining at least 25% quicker then before... 2)If I try to hang up on a call and quickly hit my home button, the call still shows as if its connected.... then I lock the phone and lock it.. and it still shows dialing... or what not... then after 30+ seconds.. it finally goes to normal....

Actually, in my case I was able to restore the phone functionality by going into Settings->General and restoring default settings for everything. Then, after resetting the language etc. it all started functioning. Try this, guys.

i am also having this problem. before the 5.0.1 update everything is going ok. when i updated to that, i cannot read one of my email account which I configured for push mail. I have 3 email accounts in my iphone. i corporate account, a personal yahoo account and another yahoo account for my own business. my corp email and personal yahoo mail is working fine but after the update my other yahoo account cannot be downloaded. what seems to be happening??? my phone is a 4S...tsk tsk

Having the same issue with contacts after after update. Will not display name when receiving calls and having trouble with imessage. when i reply it does not go out.

Updated to 5.0.1 via my Mac on both my 4S and iPod4. Neither will synch via cable. I get a dialog box saying:

The iPhone [iPad] " . . . " could not be synched because the synch session failed to start.

That's not exactly helpful when the devices are being used for business on a daily basis.
