Yes, it sure is.

In addition to these issues, the big thing is that it addresses the

No, just WiFi. It appears under "Settings->general->software update".

Did the DL by WiFi but refused to install with the battery at less than 50%.

Ya think? Point is 20% in this case was enough. It only took a copule
minutes to install after the DL.

My iPhone 4 ran through about 8% including the download. However, there
might be bigger updates down the road.

20% might or might not be safe for this one since battery meters aren't
entirely linear, but larger updates could easily need a lot more. 50%
seems reasonable.

I don't really believe that, (hence the smiley) but I was just firing a
shot across "Lu's" bow.

Attacking a political statement with another is one thing, but attacking
Michelle's politics in two replies to on-topic, informative posts that
didn't mention politics at all was uncalled for. Presumably Lu was
taking issue with Michelle's sig, which isn't relevent.

While my politics mostly lean left, both parties have more than their
fair share of morons and closed-minded zealots. (Though, frankly, good
luck in 2012 kids, if the likes of Cain, Perry, and Romney are your first
string players. The Dems could bring back Dukakis and still beat any of
that bunch.)

Ironically, Nixon was probably the best Republican president we've had in

No, I said best *Republican* president...

If you look past his transgressions, he was remarkably effective in some
areas. And not to start a flamefest, but considering what some of the
more recent office holders have gotten away with, I'm not sure history
will consider Nixon's crimes all that damning... :(

If Michelle puts a political jab in the sig on her message, she invites
the thread to veer into political hot air. Many threads do that
anyway, but in this case we can blame Michelle. Or, if you like, we can
credit Michelle.

Michelle has made her politicial affiliation very clear with that sig. I
have seen other posters elsewhere who make their affiliation with that
other party very clear (or support firearms, anti abortion etc which are
associated with the republicans).

I don't need to harp on someone's signature, but might make a joke about
it now and then.

However, in this debate, I will say this:

The democrats tend to have a more united group of followers. The
Republicans seem to be divided into 2 groups:

-the "true" free enterprise republicans

-the "anti" people who have a pet peave (anti abortion, anti gay, anti
communism, anti-this, anti that) and whom the republicans covet because
the democratic party doesn't cater to them. Often, one such pet peave
is enough to blind the voter into supporting Republicans despite being
against all their other policies. (so n anti-abortion person woudl vote
repulican even if they are also anti war)

The problem with he republican party catering to the various "anti"
groups is that it does taint its image as also being an "anti" party
since much of their message is against certain people.

How would Nixon compare with Clinton at that level ? Close in terms of

Clinton's indiscretion with the pizza delivery girl didn't really affect
the economy of the country (although it can be argued it helped the

Apparently some people are still reporting battery issues. This is from
MacRumors.com's ...

Apple Continuing to Investigate iOS 5 Battery Issues
----------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, Apple released iOS 5.0.1, the first update to the
company's latest iOS 5.0 mobile operating system and one
designed in large part to address complaints of battery life
issues. But even with the update, a number of users are
still reporting significant issues with battery life on
their iOS devices.

Apple has now provided a statement to AllThingsD indicating
that it is continuing to investigate the battery life
complaints in an attempt to determine what is causing the
problems.

"The recent iOS software update addressed many of
the battery issues that some customers experienced
on their iOS 5 devices," the company said in a
statement. "We continue to investigate a few
remaining issues."

Apple has not committed yet to a near-term iOS update to
address any additional issues, but is presumably already
working on a follow-up update incorporating fixes for any
other problems it discovers.

His policies certainly made Obama look right-wing. But even Reagan's
did that.

Exactly... Nixon was certainly the most progressive. Today, he'd hardly
be considered a Republican.

Legacy. Ford really didn't have time to accomplish much.

In my case it actually *introduced* battery issues where I had none with
iOS 5.0. Luckily a simple restore fixed that problem. I've ben at 100%
all day today. : ) If you experience faster battery drainage than
normal, I highly recommend giving a restore a shot.

I agree but I was reckless after reading this thread. I downloaded at 18
percent battery and the OS update downloaded perfectly. The download
drained 1 percent, and I was cuttin' a fat hog, I thought. The damned
download wouldn't update until I plugged in. I'm tellin' ya, I could'a
made it! The update took about two minutes after the plug in.
Everything appears OK. I love life on the edge. I'm still jittery from
the experience.

My experience is the same. I'm sure my battery life is worse after
upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 than it was under 5.0

Just one reason why you should never install upgrades on day one. It's
always best to wait at least a few days to see if any problems are
reported by other people silly enough to upgrade instantly. :-)

Thank heavens everyone doesn't follow that! No one would upgrade then....

That in itself could be a blessing. :-)

The point is that new updates, new software, new hardware, new cars, new
anything will ALWAYS have problems. Sometimes update releases are
"de-released" by the company due to issues and replaced with another one
later.

If you don't mind being a guinea pig, then by all means install new
updates immediately, buy new software or hardware on release day, etc. ...
but do so knowing that there WILL be problems.

If you don't want to be a guinea pig, then wait and see what reports come
back - this is especially true for people who actually NEED their computer
or device for important things (like running a business) where they can't
afford to have downtime fixing problems. That's why most businesses, or at
least those with intelligent IT staff, do not install updates on day one.

FWIW, I'm on an iPhone 4 and my battery life appears to be somewhat
better on 5.0.1 than 5.0.0, but not significantly so. Either way, I'm
charging mid-day, on 4.3.5I only occasionally needed to charge mid-day.

Mid-day?? I get 1-2 days per charge with my iPhone 4 on iOS 5 - just as
I did on iOS 4.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people's battery problems are due to a
specific app ... something like an older version of a Twitter app that
needs updating for iOS 5 because it's mis-polling the servers too much.

You're a gutsy guy! Like those guys in the Lipitor commercials. One even
rode his bike down a hill without a helmet!!

Those commercials are so lame. Here's a graying out guy, like me, talking
about riding a bike without a helmet (or ice-skating near the rocks) when
he was young. When we were that age, nobody wore a bike helmet. I don't
think even the pros had them yet. We're talking dark ages here, I know. Our
parents drove us around while we were standing up on the front seat. My
Gawd! They sat us in their laps and we pretended we were driving the car
when we were on back roads with no traffic.

I'm not advocating that parents should do any of these things today, I
certainly didn't when my kids were little. My oldest even came home from
the hospital in a safety seat long before they were common. But we sure
have gotten kinda crazy with this safety stuff.

That's great! What happens when you take it out of your dresser drawer and
make some calls? Maybe even use some apps?

Yes, but what happens when you take it off the charger?

Anyone whose phone, iPhone or otherwise, isn't using any power, is either
