iOS 5 and iPhone 4S

I played with SIRI the other day on a coworkers phone..that thing is the shit. You can throw crazy math problems at it and will give you an answer

 

Nope - it's integrated into the OS. It should be called Personal Hotspot (IIRC).

does your daddy know your on TW and not working ? better get permission ! Go clean your room while your at it

 

Ask her things like, "What are you wearing?" and "Will you marry me?"

The only reason I would ever use Siri is for pure entertainment...it's hilarious.

I think once the final version of it comes out, it will be even more powerful. Right now it just has to rely on Google a lot of the time when it is presented with questions it can't figure out. Once they build more logic into it, it will really start to take shape.

It's awesome. I love it.

 

^ ^ Awesome.

So maybe I'm retarded, but I just discovered this yesterday: when you're reading something in Safari, iBooks, or your email, etc. and there's a word you don't know, you can highlight it and tap "Define." A dictionary entry will pop up with the definition, synonyms, etc. It's pretty cool.

 

Where is that?

 

cool thanks

 

The new iOS 5 is sweet!

Too bad I jailbroke my iPhone a week before it came out XD

 

anyone know how to switch back to iOS4? ever since I downloaded OS5 to my I-phone 4, my battery is gone by the end of the day and I rarely use my phone in the first place...turned off all that icloud crap and every program that searches for a signal but no such luck...

 

nope, i turn that on only if i'm about to drive somewhere...

 

reset to factory defaults?

i've had no battery issues ince os5. life is about the same if not better

 

X2 Somethings not right with your phone, it's not iOS5. I've had the beta on my iPhone 4 since it first came out and only the first build gave me any battery issues. Do you get a lot of notifications? As in constantly? If so that could be your issue as the screen is constantly turning on. Bluetooth shouldn't be an issue unless you are actually using it all day, mine is on 24/7, but idle unless I'm in the truck and it doesn't hurt battery life.

 

Another feature I'm loving and haven't seen anyone mention - when you're in a text message, you can pull down the keyboard to read your messages on the full screen instead of the little gap between the clock and top of the keyboard! Sweetness!

 

Ipone 4s...first nonstupid phone ever. Love it so far.

 

When you updated your iPhone, how did you do it? Just plug it in, let the computer do it's thing and you were done? Or did you do another Full Restore after that? If it's the former, I would definitely recommend doing another Full Restore manually.

I backed my phone up manually, completely wiped the phone, updated it, and then did another Full Restore and mine is ok.

My battery life is about the same, but I am on it all day long so I can never tell if it's just that I had more calls that day, or if an app is still running.

Another way to help with this is to be sure you close all running apps. Double-tab the Home button and then hold your finger down on one of the apps and close them all. This helps make sure that nothing is running in the background.

I agree with REX and Enigma. Bluetooth will not use battery unless it is actively paired with something and being used.

Like Enigma, I've been running iOS 5 Beta on an iPhone 4 for work since the day it was released and have had very few issues with battery life on it.

I do love the keyboard swipe feature! I also like how you can do rich text. Helps a lot when I am on the road and need to compose a legit e-mail.
