I've just put 5.0.1 on and done a full charge. Lets see how it goes.

 

[dfarrall]

Were did you download it? can't see it on the dev site?

Don't know how to go about installing it though?

 

[Shadowness]

Hold a certain key (can't remember which one) then clock restore. Then navigate to the specific ISPW file.

think its shift, or ctrl

 

[Solus]

The file linked above is a dmg, would the file be within the dmg?

EDIT: To answer my own question, the file is within the dmg, i extracted it, opened itunes, shift clicked Update and located the file.

Updating now, I'll let people know how it is once i've used it a while

 

[Deku]

Is there going to be any adverse effects to using 5.01 before it's released to the public?

I've read before you early birds getting stung when iTunes and iOS updated when you were using the Dev builds.

 

[Solus]

I don't know, but I can always just restore from a backup.

Bad news regarding the Setting Time Zone. Take a look at proof:

I'm installing now too, worth the risk I feel, as you said I can always restore from a previous backup.

Edit:

 

[Solus]

Odd, i did an update though, not a resore and was successful

 

[Rameses]

Ordering a 16GB 4S soon! YAYYAYAYAYAYAYA!

Just thought I'd say and join in on the thread.

Ah yes, worked for me doing it that way too.

Time will tell if this is a fix or not.

Battery drain seems worse since this, perhaps best to let it run down and charge to get an idea though

Been reading that the timezone issue is still in this build. I think that is the cause of the battery life being a bit gash.

 

[Mr.Stu]

Managed to reserve a 16gb one

Roll on tomorrow!

One question, can I tether it via usb and wifi out of the box?

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Yes

 

[oli356]

Network might not allow you/charge you though

 

[Mr.Stu]

Cool thanks. Network is all good, tethered on my android phone(s) for past few years.

 

[Berserker]

I tethered mine before I'd even left the Apple store. Beware that it eats the battery though, almost on a par with Sat Nav.

Simple fix for the time zone 'issue' is to turn it off, surely? That's why there's that option. Unless you're travelling every day I doubt it'll be any inconvenience.

Mine still gets through 25-30% on a quiet day. Mostly that's down to having wi-fi on and syncing with six email accounts. Fair enough I suppose.

 

[Solus]

No, the whole point was to say that i have upgraded to ios 5.0.1 beta, the time zone issue is still there. I have disabled it, it was only a quick test. The battery is still worse than 5.0 for me.

To the poster about tethering, if you were using android 2.1 or below the networks cannot lock the tethering. In android 2.2+ it allowed networks to control tethering. Beware that ios may allow your network to block tethering if you were using android 2.1 or below.
