iPhone : ios 5 - Page 4

With the phone in portrait I need to be on 8th line of text before I can't hide the keyboard any more.
Don't think I've ever written a text that long

I must just write long rambling messages

Ditto!

Well my battery life seems to have been adversely affected by the upgrade, mail fetching seems to take longer... though it's perhaps the FB app and the push data I receive that's causing more of a drain. Down to 65% and I unplugged it at 7am.

can you switch off your mobile data while you're at work? I turned mine off on the s2 from the side button and the battery lasted about 3 days. It completely drains it, even though I've turned off background synching etc. Makes a huge difference, just try it when you know you're not going to look at it for a while (unless you have to leave it on all the time).

Oh yeah I can - I usually turn off 3G when I don't need it - but they've blocked a lot of things at work so I use my phone a lot. I've probably just started to use it more and not realised. I do think a lot of extra connections/data collection is occuring though - I'm going to see if there's a data monitoring app I can install and run in the background to see what's happening. I'm just curious really.

yeah it's surprising sometimes which sites use loads of data & battery. I've stopped using a couple unless I've connected over wi-fi recently.

Had a rather bit of FB time today - but still... losing over 50% of your charge seems a little OTT?

leowyatt · 18-10-2011, 15:15

you have an email account on your phone?

Will · 18-10-2011, 15:23

I have several

It polls every 15 mins - but nothing's changed there. Other than email downloading and mail handling seems slower :/ I haven't received many emails today - though I have used FB a bit. Still, unplugged at 7am, and now I'm at 30% :/

New FB app is about the only thing that's different other than ios 5.

Something not quite right there...

Did you restore from a backup when you updated?
