kiddingguy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 With the announcement of the presumably to-be introducted iPad 3 next week, will iOS 5.1 be introduced and released as well? And... what are the new features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPressland Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Slightly better Siri and Bugfixes from what I read. I've not bothered with the 5.1 Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I can?t wait. iOS5 is the buggiest release I have installed so far on my 3GS and they haven?t bothered fixing that many bugs so far. neo1911 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy_Hippo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Needs a lot of bugfixes for the iPad 1 - Safari is just appalling on it after iOS 5 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ntury Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Probably a no-brainer that'll they'll release them side by side. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Needs a lot of bugfixes for the iPad 1 - Safari is just appalling on it after iOS 5 :( Safari doesn't even work on my iPad 2 anymore. I think it's something to do with the iOS 5 + Jailbreak installs. Been needing to wipe it and start fresh to see if it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxomatosis Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm jailbreaked with many tweaks more useful than Siri, that I don't use and is disabled on my 4S. (Springtomize, Now Listening, Icon Renamer, Activator, modified dock, modified hosts file to block ads, etc.) I guess the 5.1 release won't be a big deal for me. iPhone 4/3GS users, don't cry for not having Siri, it's a gadget, it gets old after a week... ;) The only thing I would like Apple to fix is the "art cover" bug with iTunes Match. Even if all the music is tagged correctly, sometimes for a reason the art cover won't appear on streaming files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you mean. Right now iTunes Match downloads files you "stream" on your iDevice and keeps them in a cache directory somewhere so you don't have to redownload them the next day if you listen to these songs again. I know this cache storage is managed automatically by the iPhone cuz after a period of time, some files will be deleted (the files you don't listen to anymore (playcount didn't change for a week)? The files older than XX days? Apple won't say how it works), so the phone will not fill up with songs until there's not more space left. I used iSub (and Subsonic) to stream music on my iPhone before iTunes Match was launched, and it worked like that too (a cache storage where all the files you streamed were copied for a certain amount of time). I understand the logic of this method (would be stupid to redownload the same tracks 5 times in a week cuz you listened to these tracks every day of the week in your car while driving to work), but I understand that it may be crappy to have to use storage space on your iPhone when Apple says iTunes Match uses the "Cloud"... I guess they should allow the user to disable this "caching" system if they want too, or at least give the user the possibility to decide how much space can be used on the device to cache songs. Sorry for my English by the way, not my primary language... :p Shadrack 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! I've been using iOS since v3 when the 3Gs was released, and iOS5 is definitely the buggiest version to date. Same issues on the 4S now. They need to fix those issues, in addition to tighten up the loopholes on the security side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 29, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted February 29, 2012 Apple usually releases a new iOS on announcements, but sometimes it could be a beta (which this won't be) or release it within a few days. I presume apple will go with its 5.1 on march 7, since iOS 5.1 beta has been going on for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myxomatosis Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Your English seems pretty damn good to me (Y)! I did not know that iTunes Match deletes old songs that it previously downloaded on iOS. I figured they were there to stay. Good to know. Thanks Here's the explanation from Macworld.com http://www.macworld....unes_match.html Downloaded songs are automatically removed to make extra space When you tap to play a song on your iTunes Match-enabled iOS device, the song gets cached. That way, if you tap to play, say, ?Je Suis Rick Springfield? by Jonathan Coulton on your iPhone today, the song won?t need to get downloaded all over again when you tap to play it again tomorrow. Similarly, you can tap to download complete playlists or albums on your iOS device; maybe you?d do so while on Wi-Fi so that you could hear all of Coulton?s latest album later during your commute home, without gobbling up your data plan. Of course, one of the benefits of iTunes Match is that you can free up extra space on your iOS devices by not syncing your entire library. Once you start downloading lots of songs as you play them back, does that advantage vanish? In a word: No. In more words: With iTunes Match enabled, your iOS device will automatically remove some downloaded songs over time. The algorithm is smart?older and least-played tracks are removed first. Apple hasn?t clarified under precisely which circumstances songs get removed. Perhaps one day we?ll see an option to control how much storage space iTunes Match can use for caching on your device, but no such option exists yet. So while you can manually remove tracks from your iOS device by swiping as if to delete them (which leaves the iCloud-stored track in place, but frees up the few megabytes the song requires), it shouldn't be necessary; your device will take care of eliminating old tracks automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Needs a lot of bugfixes for the iPad 1 - Safari is just appalling on it after iOS 5 :( The iPad 1 is getting old.... I'm running 5.1beta on my iPad and it's not working any better than 5.0. I guess it's going to be time for an upgrade to iPad 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Suppose to be out today...no OTA update available on my iPhone 4 yet. Seems like the only feature I'll see is the ability to delete photos from the photo stream... oh well, always up for some bug fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packet1009 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 hope they fix the stuttery alert tones did you upgrade from a previous phone version? i had to go and re-select the alert tones and that fixed it for me - persistent across reboots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
