Anyone know how send iMessage from iPad to iPhone?

CrispyXUK · 5 Oct 2011 at 19:28

Just send to their apple Id or phone number

Now running iOS 5 GM on my 3GS, runs very well!

Got it running on my iPhone 4 really nicely. Very happy with all of the improvements, speed increase is nice too. Don't like the fact that they have sneakily put a store button on the ipod feature though!

Only criticism of IOS5 on a 3gs is my god, it abuses battery life something bad

85% battery to 45% from 10am to now with the phone not being used.

I love the split keyboard it come I'm handy and easily merged

Split keyboard?

Rooky007 · 5 Oct 2011 at 21:19

When u got your keyboard up hold down the keyboard icon bottom right till a pop up appears voila

Are you using iCloud etc? And a lot of push notifications?

Officially cheesed off. I had gestures working perfectly on my iPad1 with iOS4.3.3.
Trying to enable it with iOS5 and XCode flat out fails now, so the only real way to get gestures back atm is to JB and edit the springboard.plist file.

I'm buggered if Apple have made this an 'iPad2 only' feature. Getting tired of stuff like that already.

I'm just playing with Photo Stream at the moment! It's good but a little slow-ish pushing photos to each device. I took a photo on my iPhone 4, and it pushed it to my mac but around 90 seconds after I took the pic. Still a very useful part of iOS 5.

You have new iPhoto?

Dewotter · 6 Oct 2011 at 02:12

Is anyone else seeing a lack of a UI for location based reminders?

May be something that'll only go live with the actual release.

Got it installed now on my 3G ipad2.

Very impressed. Seems a lot zippier!

There nothing wow me yet

What happened to the vibration customisation that was in a previous beta...?

Still there, under "Sounds".

From a "what other phones already have" or from a "what my iPhone didn't have" perspective?

Personally I'm fairly enamored with:

Notification centre
Lock screen camera
Custom text tones
Wifi sync
Twitter integration
UI changes to toasts etc..

Looking forward to what iMessage brings more than anything, just need my friends to get the update now.

pioneer2000 · 6 Oct 2011 at 10:43

Unless I'm missing something - there's no option to specify patterns of vibration?

Ah, have to enable it in accessibility first!
