iOS5 discussion thread

Glad other people were trying to hide newsstand.

Safaris good. Just took me a minute to notice I have tabs now! Was so natural feeling that I forgot.

However, I'm a little stumped by something; reminders. It's got a built in calendar. And yet it diesn't sync with calendar. What's the point of that? Unless it does somehow link, and I've not found it. Otherwise, I can see that you put "general stuff to do" in reminders And proper appointments in calendar, but it does strike me as duplication that could have, perhaps, been dealt with by one app.

How to put newsstand in a folder, works after a few tries

Well I had a text call from my missus at 0640 this morning, after me badgering on at her to get it updated because of all these new features shes more than annoyed at the amount of free space shes lost...

The poor little thing didn't like me opening Newsstand within a folder. It crashed, restarted and vibrated for about 2 minutes before it knew what it was doing.

As it’s a bug, the trick has a catch or two: Newsstand not only becomes completely non-functional when tucked into another folder, but it’ll actually make the homescreen freak out and quickly reset if you try to open it. Still, it’s better than having an icon you never use on your homescreen until the end of time.

Still an improvement for me

I lost a fair bit too but not a massive amount.

Think she said she went from 14gb to about 10gb..

[Rob_B]

eeww.thats a lot, my available space on my 16GB dropped by about 300mb IIRC

Anyone heard the voice you get to confirm your call when using voice dialing?

I don't like it

[mikerr]

lets hope its 3gs friendly and does no make phone unresponsive and slow like os4 did for 3g

It's fine on my 3GS (and on my iPad 1) - no slowdown.

Best things so far ?

• tabs on ipad safari
• wifi syncing
• copied-from-android pull down notifications
• free iphone-iphone messaging merged into text message app (they just look blue) ..and yes "copied from blackberry"

[[GSV]Trig]

tbh I havent had a play with it yet, she wont let me near her phone, shes still moaning about the Win8 beta I put on the laptop she uses a month ago so fair to say I wont get to play with iOS5 for a good few months yet

[AdamHiggins]

I'm definitely a fan of the BBM style free messaging now. Seeing as I'm nearly always connected to a WiFi source on campus I can now message a lot of people completely free

Been using it on my iPad since Beta 1, but not put it on the iPhone yet - I need an untethered jailbreak for ultrasn0w unlock. Although I'd like to think I'm patient enough to wait, I'm really not haha.

Yep, no issues on my 3GS either. The pull down notifications are great along with iMessage. Have to say though that WiFi syncing seems to take an age with me, much quicker just to plug it in to USB. Also found WiFI sync seems to drain a fair bit of battery as well.
