Official iOS 4.2.7 Update for Verizon

[moneymike47]

New one because the old one was spammed, I have to say that I updated and everything appears to be the same for me.

Ok stuck this thread

My battery life today is really sucking big time. I'm at 50% 2:30pm. Usually at around 70% this time of day.

Maybe coincidental. Upgraded day before yesterday.

So everything is the same huh? I suppose that means that we haven't received the safari speed up update that 4.3 brought to ATT iPhones?

 

[zerog46]

Is there really that much of a speed update with 4.3.

P@t if you charged your phone via computer then you didn't get a full charge as a wall charge. I also downloaded the update and have seen no problems with my battery charge.

For what it's worth, the day I received my Verizon iPhone (4.2.6) I did a web page loading speed test with my AT&T iPhone (4.3.1). On 3G & wifi the Verizon iPhone loaded pages faster for me. It wasn't a huge difference but it was slightly faster.

I have found my battery life has improved. Not drastically but after two or three hours of usage...and 15 hours of standby, I have 75% left.

same here... seems like battery life has slightly improved since the 4.2.7 update...

After I updated, Safari seemed a little faster for me and my wife's phone and battery life seems a little better, too.

In regards to the question about the 4.3 Safari being faster, a couple of my friends have 4.3 on their AT&T iPhone 4G and we can't tell much of a difference in speed between my Verizon version and their AT&T version. There might be a difference in the download speeds which we didn't try comparing.

My battery was going down quick after I first updated but after a few days it does seem to be a little better. But I was getting pretty good battery life before the update.

 

[jmgilliam#IM]

I think my battery life has improved as well.

 

[luvesuga]

My battery life is no where near what I was getting before I updated. No new apps, and I'm charging at least twice a day. Only 30 minutes of usage today, and I'm at 89% since 730am.

Other than that. Nothing has changed.

Havent updated. Jailbroke and havent seen anything worth making me want to go back. Is there anything i'm missing?

NO! LOL! Stick with your jailbroken iPhone for now.

I have heard that4.2.7 isnt worth the update. Me I wouldn't update yet because I value my jailbreak

 

[soulfetcher13]

didnt think so. going to stick with it then.

I'd try them both on Wifi for a true test. On 3G with the Verizon iPhone (iOS 4.2.7), it works for what I need it to. I had my iPod touch upgraded to 4.3.2 before getting the iPhone and I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference.

I've actually got some bugs after updating... in my SMS app, sometimes I leave a chat and the keyboard stays activated... in the menu listing all of my messages :/ then it will zoom away to the bottom right corner... wtf! I've never even seen that on an iPhone EVER.

 

[moneymike47]

I've got no issues at all actually, that's weird for those who have issues.
