Tim Cook just announced the long awaited iOS 5.1 will be available tonight. This is a great news to us with iPhone 4s poor battery life. Hopefully this will fix the draining problem.
I will post an update here as soon as I upgrade mine.
Good luck to anyone with the draining issue.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Wait...i didn't have my glasses on...5.1? Oh no, not for iPhone? Why Appleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Thank you for good news..i used my iphone with ios5.0.0 for 4 months i have no problem at all but after upgrade to 5.0.1 for 2 weeks ago my phone look like dead phone(working sometimes, no service, usually searching, calling faild/no response, changing sim/not work, reset for 100times, contact carrier/no fix) after trying to fix every ways..
right now i have been just kept waiting for the new ios../hope it can be fixed.
Hopefully I will be able to feel the love again.
Really?????? What time did he say that?
Right before the iPad 3 was unveiled. Marvelous piece of gadget...:đ
The upgrade will be available for download tonight. Can't wait.
Can't wait for the iOS 5.1 update.
A word to the wise:
Do not try & update today, tonight or tomorrow. Every time Apple releases a new iOS, the whole world tries to update at the same time, servers get overloaded and a mess is created...there are more iOS devices out there than ever before...wait.
Update iTunes FIRST...make sure it's running properly.
Backup your phone AFTER you update iTunes...make sure the syncing/backup process goes without a hitch.
You can now update your phone.
If anyone would like to volunteer to be a guinea pig, 5.1 is now live for over the air updates. My 4S shows it to be 189 MB.
Let us know how it goes...
My iPhone is downloading it as i type, I will inform of any noticeable improvements etc.
Unfortunately i was too late to heed wjosten's advice about waiting, i'd literally just pressed "agree" when i read his post haha. Oh well, i'm sure it'll all be fine. On iTunes however, when i search for update it says "The iPhone softare update sever could not be contacted" :/,
bit worrying but hey ho

Probably either still updating those servers or they are just getting hammered right now.
iTunes says pretty much the same i.e. The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your Internet connection, or try again later so updating iTunes to 10.6 is a no no at the moment.
I finished downloading and installing. Looking at it quickly, the biggest change in this update is the addition to the camera icon in the lock screen WITHOUT double tapping Home. It's always there. Only this time you swipe upwards to initiate the Camera App. So far, that's it.
I'm in the "unwise" camp, but just did the 189mb OTA update (not even plugged in, but with 98% battery) and its just this minute finished installing and rebooted.
No problems at all.
STILL no location/business based searches for Siri in the UK. :-(
The list of improvements and bug fixes includes "Addresses bugs affecting battery life." One can only hope.
Risked the OTA route and it has taken around 29 mins to update/install/reboot but the last 2-3% took around 12 mins but I guess that was due to the servers being hammered as you say. Everything appears fine so will see how it goes. I never really suffered with the battery issue but the fact I always have my iPhone lock itself after a few minutes of non usage could have helped.
Attempting the iPad 2 update now and been running for 34 minutes so far đ
iOS 5.1 announced by Cook few moments ago.
