    BTW - never had a battery problem, anyway. I'd changed back some of the location settings which seemed to be different after the original download.



    Had beaucoup fun teasing the sole member of our group of blog editors who is down in Oz about reason 4 - about corrections made to ease dictation problems for Australians. :-]



    He hadn't yet done the upgrade; but, his comments ran to:



    "I wonder if it now understands common words like mate, digger, cobber, fair-dinkum , galah, bilby, strewth, no-wuckers and pommie bastard.



    I can never understand why Aussies are regarded as incomprehensible."



    Har!



    Don't come the raw prawn with me, mate or me an' me china's will be roun' to give ya a bit of the old biffo.



    Bloody septics, takin the piss, anyhow I'm off to the rubitty to down a couple of skewies.

    It says that you should be plugged in, but you can ignore it if you have a full (or mostly full) charge.



    Mine was at 88% when I started (not plugged in) and 87% when I finished (after rebooting).

    OK. The first thing that I've been really impressed with, software-wise from Apple in the past couple of months.



    Nice. Smooth. (Makes you wonder why they didn't/couldn't do this a while ago).

    Went real smooth. iPhone was on 55%, It said to plug power in, but I ignored it and it only went down to 53% when finished.



    Now let's see if it helps battery life (on my IP4).

    This worked out well, though whilst in Beta I did have OTA update issues.



    I think they could have done it earlier, but there are reasons not to jump too fast into this feature. For starters, if your delivery method gets compromised you could have a a single person initiate an update that bricks or steals data from millions of devices within a short time. They might not eve have to be in the country they execute the infected update. If you look at how many different exploits in different areas of the device had to worked to initiate Jailbreak Me 3.0 then I don't think it's too much of stretch to see how tricking the device that there is an update to install could be harmful for users. I wonder if Apple has a hidden kill switch to disable any OTA updates if the issue ever arises.

    Ota worked fine on my 4s, started at 72% went down to 70%



    Half hour later it is warm to the touch and has dropped to 66%. It may be residual heat from the install or there is something running in the background. Anyone know how to see what could be running?

    Was a 38MB (approx) update for the iPad2. The progress bars are scary during the update.

    Was a very smooth and enjoyable experience, just like the beta.

    The 5.0.1 update OTA to my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 went very smoothly. Now, however, when I copy text from, say Evernote, and try to paste it into iMessage or Mail there is no Paste option presented. Interestingly I am also unable to paste into Notes unless I create the text in Notes itself, then I can copy and paste within the Notes app. Can anyone else confirm this is the case ?

    Obligatory it's snappier! on iPhone 4S... Not showing up when I tried to check with iPad 2 though. \

    I just installed the update. It's nice to update this way, but I found out like other people that you need to be at 50% battery charge or better or you have to plug the device into a power source.

    Why is wireless download smaller than the wired download? Anyone have a reasonable explanation for this?

    Strangely enough, although you cannot download the update over 3G with an iPhone at all, you can download the update with an iPad connected to the same iPhone's Personal Hotspot when the iPhone is on 3G, even if the iPhone only has 10% battery left.

    HUGE difference in battery use this morning. I only lost 1% last night, from 100% to 99% for 12 hours of standby.



    Nice

    OTA (Over The Air) updates use deltas, so it only updates the bits that have changed. I can only assume the iTunes method of updating does the full monty so that you have the image file available to use the 'restore' function.

    On-air update worked fine with my 1st Gen iPad.



    AND, all my iWork documents which had just disappeared from iCloud over the past several days suddenly re-appeared in a "Recovered Files" folder!



    Yea!!!



    Thanks, Apple.
