So here we are, with the GM build. So what bugs have you found? I am still updating my iPhone, so I'll return with bugs I may find. Please share your findings.

Personally I am hoping they have fixed the Safari bug where if I visit any page, when I press back, it loads an older cached page. It's at least 2 days old in my case. If I clear the cache, it's not a problem until a few days later after visiting sites frequently. It's been a problem since the original 4.0 release.

Please understand that any current JB method already works on 4.2. However if you have a carrier unlock, it will break it.

As for me, I haven't found any bugs that affect my daily use. Battery life has improved slightly.

Remember most people don't know that 4.2 is mainly a IPad only update. And the few actually new Iphone features are for Iphone 4 only. Like new text tone alerts.

The only real new features added to the Iphone on 4.2 are ......

Assign different text tone alerts to each contact (iPhone only)
2 new fonts for Notes in Settings (Helvetica and Chalkboard)
Ringer & Alerts on/off switch (Settings > Sounds) for volume buttons (iPhone only)

The other stuff is stupid stuff like a new voice memo icon and a new birthday icon in calendar, lol, oh a a few new wallpapers.

And these aren't anything special

GM build is the same as the one the will release to the public right??

There *may* be a slight change, but this is 99.9999999 and 9/10ths% final. What kind of changes? Well the 4.0 gold master build included gamecenter, but it was removed when it was publicly released.

Let's please keep this thread about bugs.

also I am beginning to notice that apps that have to pull info from remote servers, other then gamecenter, are taking much longer or don't load at all

examples: netflix and ngmoco games

That may be because the dev hasn't updated their apps. Then again, I'm still waiting for some programs to update to retina display.

If the Elite Pro HD theme will not look properly with the 4.2, then I am not going to update just yet.

Oh no! I just got my phone replaced and the sensor is working. I had hoped that it would not fail again.


its really bad now. it managed to put someone on hold and dial someone else while i was on a call. the worst it ever did before was mute someone. i might just deal with it till the official is released.
