    What about location-gate? Signal keeps dropping when searching for current location. Fix that apple!

      That happened to me twice as well. It seemed to get fixed after reset network settings and then reset all settings. Seems to work fine after that. …at least for a while.

  2. My Home Biz says:

    I noticed that it takes a bit longer than usual to get a signal when first booting up, but once the signal is acquired, I haven’t had any problems with it.

  3. Brunotuga says:

    Mine is the same! Takes long to get a signal!

    Its funny how “bad design” is labeled a “bug”

  5. Melvarius says:

    apple are certainly taking the piss out of customers. what with all the test betas that were released prior to the launch of ios5 or is it just cheap and nasty components that are being used in the 4s production models? not too impressed with either of the latest offerings from the big a.

  6. Mattk says:

    Steve jobs would be rolling in his grave if he knew how shoddily these updates are being thrown at the public, without full QA testing to
    ensure all problems are resolved before official release.

  7. mohgui says:

    SBSettings will be of little use if Siri can toggle WiFi, 3G, BT, etc.. On and Off.

  8. Anonymous says:

    Who cares! As an iPhone 4 user, I feel totally robbed by Apple! Not including Siri, a SOFTWARE update! Look, I know they really wanted to push those 4S’s out, which really didn’t have much going for them alone, but still… At least give us the native speech to text that every other phone in the world already has! Common, Apple! You’ve already shafted me with this 27″ iMac dust issue!
