who have problems after ios5.0.1 updated?

Hi,

Call fails 50% plus. Reception bars look good. Spent 3 days on the phone with Apple and Bell. 2 phones later and 3 sim cards and it still is doing the same thing. Not sure what to do anymore. Almost wish I wouldn't have bought it. Hope the next update fixes the problem.

I am having problems as well since updating to iOS 5.0.1. I didn't have problems with the phone before this update. Now the battery drains very fast. There are times when the phone will shut off at 68%. I am not getting messages or they come all at the same time hours later. Also when trying to send messages I now get the not delivered message most of the time. The internet is slow on the phone now. It won't let me make calls most of the time as well. I wish I had never updated to the new iOS. I hope they fix it soon!

My problem is also battery drainage really fast with the IPhone 4 and the 5.01 OS. The Apple Corp. advised me to make an appointment with Genius Bar which is only available in the USA. I live in Toronto. What do I do?

I'm sure the apple stores in Toronto have genius. Download apple store app and make an appointment.

There are some suggestions in these posts that might help.

Apple appears to be aware of problems and is working on a fix in next couple weeks.

I had no issues with iOS 5 and would charge the phone every night but still had about 30-40% battery left.

After updating to 5.0.1 I have to charge my phone twice a day. I'm scared to go out without my usb cable now.

I'm in the UK. Got a brand new 4S with O2 back in October. I was VERY excited but after a month I decided to post the increasing number of issues I am experiencing:

1. BATTERY: draining very quickly. What's the point of deactivating most of the features (notifications, location, iCloud, etc) if that's why we all have an iphone?

2. SIRI: is useless in the UK for the lack of location services.

3. iCLOUD: won't synchronise bookmarks, iCal or notes. It's a nightmare, instead of "it just works". It doesn't.

4. REMINDERS: by location. Wow! I spent hours creating locations in my contacts to be reminded to. None of them have ever worked. It only works by date/time.

5. CALLS: dropping both when outcoming and incoming at a rate of 30% daily. Best phone ever? I remember 10 years ago my Nokia "brick" was flawless.

6. iMESSAGES: not delivered to other iOS devices (tried 3GS, 4, iPad) and also different carriers. As mentioned in other threads, confirms "delivered" when is not. How could something this simple, like SMS, stop working with the most advanced OS?

7. FIND FRIENDS: did not find them, it got me lost instead. Never again.

I am very disappointed as all the new features I was looking forward to use are nothing but unreliable.

Please Apple engineers, make note of all this issues to fix them and make me (and other millions of users) proud of having the best iphone ever. Thank you!

I am very disappointed in iOS 5.0.1. I have been experiencing major connectivity issues. Most of the time, my phone is either searching or says no service. I occasionally get one or two bars. The "genius" at the apple store was no help. She suggested a new sim card and restore. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T for them to finally say that my phone is just broken.

Is it possible that ios 5.0.1 could cause actual damage to my phone?

Do we really think that the next update will fix the problem?

I can't believe that the Apple store would not even suggest that my problem might be related to iOS!

Was on the phone again yesterday with a senior advisor from Apple regarding my IPhone 4s white 64g unlocked. Long story but they finally believed me. Not fixed yet but they said they would be back to me with an answer today. The lady admitted that it was my phone. They replaced it 2 times already and three Sim cards later. My Son has a IPhone 4 and no problems at all. I have had to put my Sim card back in my Blackberry so that I can work. Tempted just to get the old iPhone 4 if they replace it again. Very Frustrating

I personnally think they know itsa problem with the phone, but have no fix for it and hope it will be fixed with the next update.

i just updated my 3Gs and i could not use my phone again, No service and i could not activate the phone again.

Please who can assist me as i need my phone back, I want to revert to the previous updated. how do i go about that

We have similar problem. I even want to revert back to the former update but i can't do that

Same battery&sim problems here after the 5.0.1(iphone4). I hope they ll come up with a working patch soon...

Not sure if this is a fluke and it shouldn't be the answer but it has allowed all my call to come in or out and messages since I did it.

Turn off you Back up to the iCloud. I also turned off all the sync to the iCloud except for Mail and Find my phone. Since I done that everything works. I tried turning it back on and the problems start all over again. Apple is suppose to get back to me today.

I tried this but it didn't work for me 😟 Don, I'm glad that it worked for you and it is definitely worth a try.

I'm having battery issues!! Draining like crazy and also having loading issues when I'm at full bars and in 3G network!

i'm also having issues with my battery i have a 3gs which was fine on ios5 but since updating my battery hardly lasts a day
