From iPhone 3GS it was a natural upgrade for me to 4S. I was so happy to be getting the 4S mainly because of the camera and #Siri. But not anymore.
- Battery drains too quick. I keep it charging the whole night and when i take it to office the next day morning, it lasts only till 3.00pm to 5.00pm. Yeah.. yeah.. i did remove the location based services and all.
- iOS 5 hangs frequently. Unfortunately this is the least I would expect from #Apple’s software.
- When you are on a call and then you open Camera, my phone almost always goes into “dead” mode. The only way it comes back is when all the batter is drained. Till that time I can not even force restart. None of the buttons work.
- At times I see funny scroll of numbers on the event notifications. I attached my company outlook to my 4S and during certain situations, the time on the event notification message just rolls randomly.
- I was very exited about Siri initially but not anymore. Especially, for my Indian-English accent, Siri is not the best voice recognition software that i would rely on. Instead, when i use my wife’s #Samsung #Galaxy S 2, I thought #GoogleVoice has a better capability than Siri.
May be i should have got the Samsung’s Galaxy S 2 ? I am still confused.
Interesting. My iPhone 4s doesn’t cause any problems. Battery lasts 9hrs or more and has lasted longer on occasion. I only charge for about 1 to 1.5hrs (until the battery is charged). I was told its not good to charge overnight daily and to do so once a month.
IOS 5 has worked well for me also no real problems. I must be one of the fortunate ones. Even on my 1st generation iPad I have not noticed any slowing with the new operating system.
