For me the best part of this update is the ability to delete individual pics on photo stream!

Made a lot of people's battery life worse including mine. This is just rubbish apple.

Battery usage seems sorted on my ip4.
2hrs standby and 45mins usage and im on 98%.
Before 5.1 I'd be down to the low 90s easily

Yep, me too. Normally at this point of the day after a couple of texts and a check of share prices I'm down to low 90s. Currently at 99%.

That's after a full charge over night btw.

Wonder what it was causing the drain?

Andrew Moore · 8 Mar 2012 at 11:35

Im down to 93% so I think you guys have just not used it as you normally would OR your remembering it being worse than it was before and over emphasize that its a smidge better because deep down in your heart that is what you want.

My battery is neither better nor worse

:/

territt · 8 Mar 2012 at 12:43

Iphone upgrade fine but the ipad just says unable to check for update

any ideas?

Marky · 8 Mar 2012 at 12:49

How anyone can possibly comment on battery life when the update has been out for just over 12 hours is beyond me...

Kainz · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:02

Hmm. My iPad 1 seems to be a bit more jerky on the animation end with this update. Too early to say just yet. Not updating my JB'd iPhone4 just yet either.

Belloni · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:04

So, i had to restart my phone and now I get the message "Could not activate cellular data", i'm on Orange, any help?

Very much hoping 5.1 solves the low memory Safari crashes on my wife's 1st gen iPad. She's all but stopped using it recently because it crashes so frequently.

Ah my Mrs is getting that as well and a stack of others on apple forums using the ipad 1 and 2.

The quickest website I found to make it crash is the sun website. Which I will use to demo it to them in the apple store if it isn't fixed this update

People who look at their battery throughout the day perhaps?

As by now my battery would be in far worse state than what it is currently. To the people that were suffering with the problems it would be quite obvious to see the improvement.

I agree that not everyone might have had problems but to those that do/did then the difference will be seen quickly

My mrs is on Orange reporting same problem, she has not updated to 5.1 though so must just be a general service issue.

Belloni · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:35

Well, i've lost 9% battery already after taking it off a full charge at 12pm basically, i'll give it a few days to compare properly or i'm selling it.

I really like the static camera button on the lock screen. Really nice to use.

PaulyD said:
Can pull it down afterwards too to go back to the lockscreen, i like that

Indeed, it's excellent!

Yep, exactly the same here too - The Sun website (her guilty pleasure) consistently causes the crash (although that's not the only one).
