Anyone having battery issues?
I've only used my phone about 2 hours max today, mostly browsing and Facebook and its used the entire battery
Usually with an iOS update folk moan about battery issues, these are often caused by Apple setting everything to ON when you phone reboots. Just go through your settings to ensure it's not now running something you don't ordinarily use.I've only used my phone about 2 hours max today, mostly browsing and Facebook and its used the entire battery

I installed swiftkey on my iPad 4 and there appears to be no gesture typing? I couldn't see where to switch that on.
Besides, since the update its like everythings running about 10 frames per second. Slow and jittery.
To be honest, I don't see why swiftkey is so popular. Even on my HTC One M8 its dog slow. The google gesture keyboard is much better.
You have to download swiftkey and enable it in settings.Besides, since the update its like everythings running about 10 frames per second. Slow and jittery.

Predictive is bizarre; it only suggests up to three words. No option for scrolling through a list (as you can on Symbian, WP and Android).
It is a useless "feature", so I will be switching it off.

On the contrary. I've used the predictive keyboard to type a few sentences where it's predicted the entire sentence. It is a useless "feature", so I will be switching it off.

Perhaps I'm just very predictable though
You have to log into your itunes account to get the 'free' U2 album...so if you don't want it, don't log-in. 
Just upgraded both my 64Gb ipod touches and it's both good and bad.
Good - Selecting 'Larger text' in Accessibilty, now works on Lyrics. Previously lyrics was displayed in ultra-small 5 point text, even if 'Large text' was selected. Also if Lyrics overlay was selected and track was skipped, lyrics of previous track was still displayed. Correct lyrics are now matched to correct track. \0/
Bad - 'Invert Colours' is still broken. It should only work on the UI and NOT on content. 'Invert Colours' should NOT invert colours of Album Art.
EDIT:White text on black is easier to read but the inverted colours on Album Art should not be happening.

Bad - American-ism's still in Settings. 'Invert Colors' in Accessibilty despite UK English being selected and 'Center' instead of 'Centre'.

Overall its a pretty solid update. Don't have quite the same urgency to upgrade my 4S
