There was a feature mentioned for IOS6 where you could "lock" an app so it could not be exitted from. Where can I find that?

Anyone else lost most of their contacts?

I made a backup yesterday but I'm worried that that backup was overwritten when I plugged my iPhone in to restore.

Just tried the Maps for the Local area of Nottingham, The satalite view is in B&W not Colour and theres Satalite imagery that's missing, almost like when Google hadn't updated each region of England

The satellite view of my village is very poor, was crystal clear on Google maps.

Hmmmm I seem to have lost 90% of my sounds, in fact the only sound that seems to be working is the ringtone.

No lock screen "click"
No notification sounds, texts etc.
No sound when refreshing twitter etc
No music

Looked through all the settings to see if any things been enabled (almost seems like the "do not disturb" feature is enabled, which it isn't)

Anyone else having problems or am I overlooking something really simple?

iPhone 4 btw

Great.

Update and lose my maps. Or don't update and leave a gigantic list of of security vulnerabilities unpatched.

Thanks, Apple.

Been using it for two days now, impressions:


1. Battery life seems as good as iOS 5.
2. Road Maps looks amazing.
3. Satellite imagary is ****.
4. No street-view.


Otherwise, nothing to see here. (On an iP4 anyway, getting a iP5 later anyways).

Agreed, the Satelite Imagery is terrible

Same, It's kinda missed out the local area

^^ you can still use google earth though ?

iP4s seems a lot quicker. Not really liking the maps app, it's quick and all however the satellite imagery like others have said isn't as good as Google.

It's a nice update never the less.

 

[N17]

And it's slow^^

Bizarre, if anyone cared or had the same issue, plugged my headphones in and unplugged and it all works again!

 

[ShortWarning]

Hmm, so all my contacts show up in my recent call list and text messages but not in the contacts menu?

Anyone got any ideas?

yes but someone moaned at poor satellite imagery

people don't use sat imagery for sat nav do they ?

 

[squerble]

The new range of Emoji's is awesome (and vast), a few funny ones.

 

[Supercow]

Couldn't be more underwhelmed if I tried and doesn't deserve a major release number - 5.2 at best (on iPad if that makes any difference)

 

[Buckster]

updated - all good so far except I can't read my emails off Virginmedia IMAP server

same settings as before - just not working now
