[ghostface147]

oops.....I ran the OTA before the reading the release notes....

 

[Fausty82]

I don't see the first instance of launching an app crashing in B5... obviously, still testing/exploring...

 

[ghostface147]

Hmm....the OTA update worked fine without erasing all content. They seem to have fixed the issue where the camera app stores a thumbnail cache of the the most recent pic in the camera roll. However after taking a pic, it takes about 15 seconds for it to save and take us back to the camera. When I tap on the thumbnail to look at the pic I took, well it's been about 1 minute and still says saving photo.

I am going to restore to see if that improves things.

me too... wonder if i should do a fresh install

 

[ghostface147]

Yes a fresh install helped the camera speed. I have noticed they changed the boot animation right before it loads for the first time after a restore. The Apple logo gets bigger and moves out of the way. Kind of reminds me what happens the first time you run safari on a mac.

Another change is that when you take a pic and then go to the camera roll directly from the camera, it no longer shows the blue done button on the top right. It now shows a blue camera on the bottom left.

I am STILL not getting the update. I am on Verizon if that makes a difference.

That's not true. It worked for me, but the camera slowness was terrible. I restored.
