Did anyone have any issues with installing the new ios5 on their iphone4? I upgraded tonight but it appears to have wiped out all my programs and the itunes store wants to charge me to redownload them

No issues with my 3GS, or ipad 2. I had to tick all the boxs to sync (when in the itunes sync page) all my music etc.

I've updated both my 4 and my other halfs 3GS and had no issues.

Are your apps still in iTunes?

I've heard a few people grumbling about iCloud problems, I opted not to use it.
Although sometimes half the problem isn't the program, but the person using it

I did on my work ipad2.

it removed all my apps. Unfortunately I also had to format my HDD before I had chance to resync so i didnt have itunes to put a previous save on. Lucky I only had one app that was a dev app that I needed to save. All my other apps are free ones, re downloaded them and the app info was still on the ipad so things like game progress was saved... thank god, spent aaaages playing contract killer!

this is one thing I havent had to do on android. It always keeps your apps on the phone after an update. Controlling Apple if you ask me ;)

Iso5 is great! You just need to re sync your music and apps after installing it.

Most technical issues exist between the keyboard and chair.. PEBKAC..

I went and got mine, just to make sure. It's awesome! Huge step up from the 3GS. Screen is awesome and boy is it fast. Siri is good fun too, ask it to play a song and away it goes.

Stop giving me reasons to upgrade

sxckevo · 14-10-2011, 09:19 PM

Glad to hear it's a big step up from the 3GS. I'm going to try and upgrade as soon as possible and also leave the pathetic excuse for a communications network called Vodafone...

Telstra and iPhone 4s should be a life changer for me.

My 3gs and the girlfriends i4 are on the same computer.
No loss of contacts from each phone at all..?

Yep, i ditched Optus and went with Telstra for IPhone4 and it was like night and day.. the extra cost is worth it if you rely on coverage and reliable service with your mobile......

The ultimate reason why I have stuck with Telstra over the years. Coverage of service.
What's the point on being on a cheap service, if you have no connectivity/speed?

I have an iPhone 4. Best phone for my use, that I have ever bought. I bought 2 x Sony Ericsson's previously, worst decision I ever made. Was a glutton for punishment on the second one.
I was a Nokia man, now Apple. Thought about the other phones, but for my use-why change.

Same here, was Telstra all my life except for 1 sad year, will never leave Telstra now, was also a massive nokia fan but IPhone 4 is simply better for business use.

sxckevo · 14-10-2011, 09:56 PM

I can honestly say, i am probably out of reception more than i have it with Vodafail. It's a sorry excuse for a company.

Telstra's plans don't seem too bad now.
My Vodafone one gives me: Unlimited calls, unlimited text, 2GB internet(which runs at slower than dial up speed...) and an iPhone 3GS for $70 a month.

The Telstra plan i'm looking at gives me: $800 worth of calls, unlimited text, 2GB internet and an iPhone 4S for $83 a month.

I would pay double the $13 difference to not be with Vodafone again!

Nope, different.

Bucknaked · 15-10-2011, 06:06 PM

I bought mine yesterday. At lunch time I walked over to the shopping centre, stuck my head in to Virgin ( ok, that sounds rude)and asked if they had any left. 64gv all sold out but plenty of 16 and 32. So I grabbed a 32. No queues or lines.

Siri works well. No trouble understanding. It's a nice upgrade from my 3GS. Very simple setup. Restored from backup. So simple. Only trouble I've had is getting my ringtones to copy across. They won't install. Will have to into it.

Same, had probably 6 or 7 Nokias in a row. Just loved the nav features of the original Nokias and every new one meant another charger to put into a suitcase or back pack so that you did not have to remember to take the usual one from home but my last Nokia, an E51, was the biggest most frustrating piece of doggy doodoo known to mankind. There is still some things I do not like about the iphone but ios 5 has actually solved quite a few of them for me so far. I wont be going back any time soon.

It has taken a year but I must be an ifan boi now too!

I think time and time again it's been proven that the market is more than happy to buy their product(s). I can't ever remember seeing people lining up for the latest Nokia or news stories about the latest Samsung.

The disappointed people are the ones who brought into all the rumours that circulate about what the iPhone 5 (now iPhone 4S) was suppose to have.

I have an iPhone 4 and can't see the sense in upgrading to the half life cycle model. I previously had a 3G and didn't get a 3GS for the same reason. Some people just have to have the latest and greatest though.

What about Optus? I'm now on the $59 cap which gives me $750 worth of calls, unlimited text and 2gb data as well as the the 32gb 4s for $6 a month.

$65 per month and with the 4s and I now have 3G reception at home where I didn't before. My phones net is now so much faster than my adsl.

I looked at Telstra but they charge so much for the handset.1

KR1STO · 16-10-2011, 11:36 AM

Anybody else having problems with email not being pushed to phone since going to iOS 5..?

Actually Optus may be the best option for iPhone. They are not long range phones so will not work well in woop woop regardless of network.

I need to get one for work as we will have to help attach lots of them to remote systems and on that $60 plan it costs about the same as outright buying the handset.

Some people are reporting it but I use fetch.

The fix may be to remove and add the account again.

KR1STO · 16-10-2011, 12:46 PM

Tried removing and re doing twice now..
Still no good..
Oh well, hopefully just a bug they will fix soon..

Hmm.. i had nothing but coverage issues with iPhone on Optus in both Melbourne and Sydney.. Intermittent Low signal strength and call drop outs were common with Optus but 100 times improved with Telstra.
Optus still has lots of coverage black holes.

If you move around allot and spend considerable time relying on the device Telstra is worth the extra costs, on the other hand if its just a social toy Optus will do...

It will never leave the salt mine and there is good coverage there. Its sole purpose will be a tag along for the techs to try and work out what the customer is actually doing. I have an iPad, Xoom & Blackberry for exactly the same purpose and will probably grab something like a Samsung as well.

Apple seem to be becoming more and more popular with non technical but also non "social network" and non "apple enthusiast" people so like all things, you need the tools to do the work.

Agree.. as a long term "apple hater" i must admitt the iPhone is a great business tool and ive begrudgingly abondoned nokia.
I just hope for 5 they solve the poor battery life.

I had coverage issues with my 3GS but the 4s seems to have solved them. As i posted before I now get 3G where is struggled to get reception.

Agree with Telstra if your relying on 100% coverage. I just couldn't justify the extra cost.
