Anyone notice the stock wallpapers are missing from this beta? Just something I noticed.

Ive downgraded baseband from a 4.0 beta before to 3.3
As said. DFU Mode

Which is all well and good but that's the exception, not the rule.

Have it on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 now! Works perfectly on the iPad. Some stuttering on the iPhone, but that is it.

Stuttering disappears after a reboot

worse case you cant downgrade but you can keep it on iOS5? I dont see what the problem is. Ive messed with my iphone enough times. got stuck enough times but always got it working

Quite like it on my 3GS. Seems smoother than some of the older iOS's as well which is a bonus, but there are a few noticeable bugs that can cause problems. But who cares, this is a first beta after all.
I love the notification feature so far, news stand I have yet to have a use for as I don't own an iPad to read the paper (yet) and imessage is no use to me as I'm the only person I know who has a developer apple account.
I do like the dictionary addition and the camera volume button fix is a very nice (but very late) feature.

Betas expire without warning so you'll have to keep going through each version.

Just a quick heads-up on a couple of things:

- Bypassing the activation via bugs/exploits/etc is pointless as iTunes refuses to sync until the device is officially activated, so unless you like playing around with a blank profile I wouldn't bother.
- It's possible to downgrade back to 4.3.3 as long as you can put your device into DFU mode and use the shift/option+Restore to select the old 4.3.3 IPSW file from disk once downloaded.

Found another bug - gallery thumbnails sometimes display the wrong thumbnail for the phone taken.

Anyone know if you can send pictures via iMessage (instead of using MMS)?

Trick · 9 Jun 2011 at 10:25

yes you can (i think!)

n111ck · 9 Jun 2011 at 10:36

Ah cool thanks.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 9 Jun 2011 at 10:42

I'm gonna have to downgrade anyway as I am going to sell my iphone 3GS in a few weeks

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 9 Jun 2011 at 17:07

I'm also going to have to downgrade because it has become far too unstable.

Anyone with a developers account care to activate my UDID?

Flying_V · 9 Jun 2011 at 18:22

Sure, email in trust and i'll sort it.

iDroid, it's done - no worries about payment.

thanks!

Just to confirm I have backed up my SHSH blobs and the IP4 can be downgraded including baseband from iOS5 Beta?

Flying_V · 9 Jun 2011 at 19:19

Yes I think so

For anyone else who is thinking of upgrading to the iOS 5 beta, make sure you remember that your baseband will be updated, affecting your ability to unlock. Downgrading your firmware will not downgrade your baseband. So update with caution.
