I think they automatically download it at least once you're on wifi. But you can choose when to install it because it would require resetting your device.

So I lost some storage because Apple forced their cock in my ass? Lame.

oscar dawg, I haven't defended nintendo in a while.  I'm thoroughly uninterested in the wii u at the moment.

The LTE thing is valid, I agree, but I'm just happy I have it now.

I really, really dislike the map app. It doesn't matter if its getting some results wrong while the rest is rest, the bottom line is that ain't damn reliable and I wouldn't trust with my life like I did with google's. And now they're telling me to be patient, but for how long, and with what metric should I measure its accuracy? When I stop arriving at the wrong airports or train stations?

They say that they need to put it in the public's hands to work out the kinks, I'm wondering how could that help? Will people just manually update whenever POI or street names are wrong?

Yeah, you can report errors directly in the app. My colleague did this the other day when he realized AppleMaps didn't get the location of our office right, and it was fixed the day after. So at least they do seem to have people working on these database corrections.

I decided to update to iOS6 too.  Might as well get used to it.  Can't say that there's anything else to complain about besides the shitty maps app.

I really, really dislike the map app. It doesn't matter if its getting some results wrong while the rest is rest, the bottom line is that ain't damn reliable and I wouldn't trust with my life like I did with google's. And now they're telling me to be patient, but for how long, and with what metric should I measure its accuracy? When I stop arriving at the wrong airports or train stations?

Do the following:

-Go the App Store and download the free MapQuest app.
-Open Safari and go to maps.google.com.
-GoogleMaps will automatically prompt to set itself on your home screen.
-You'll now have a shortcut to the Google Maps page on your home screen that looks just like an app.
-Use it and MapQuest and pretend that the Apple Maps app doesn't exist.

Man, I am such a dumbass. I'd rolled back to iOS 5.1.1, but I was reading all these "solutions" around the internet, and since Apple force-downloaded that 2GB  iOS 6 file to my iPad, I figured I'd upgrade again and give some of them a shot. No go, on any of them. I can't even roll back again, it's giving me some "unknown error." So now I have a pretty much useless iPad.

 

I read somewhere on the Apple board where someone actually suggested buying a new router as a solution.

 

...

 

Yeah.

Yeah, right at 2GB, I had 6.9 GB free space before the update, and 8.8 GB after.

Get the ipsw file for iOS 5.1.1 here:

http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/07/ios-5-1-1-download-links/

then, in itunes, hold down your shift key when clicking restore and from the pop-up window find the folder where you downloaded the ipsw file and select it. That's it. You may have to rename the file extension, Win7 turned mine into a .zip file after it downloaded, and it needs to be a .ipsw file for itunes to see it.

Probably, lots of folks are having it with different routers. I've gotten it to where it gives me an hour now before it craps out, then i have to reset my network settings and input everything again. Can't chance doing anything wifi related that i might lose, though.

Eel, if you downgrade to 5.1.1 do you lose all your apps, settings, etc.? Or can I reverse-migrate those?

If I don't "lose" everything definitely going to downgrade. iOS 6 maps are embarrassing and I NEED good maps for the next few weeks.

Man, the Japanese maps are so goddamn bad, compared to the Google ones they look like they were mapped out like 50 years ago or something, there's barely anything there.  There's no consistiency at all with the characters, it's half English and half Japanese, and the searching is completely screwed up, some things can only be searched in one language.  The level of detail is random on what shows when you zoom.

Half of the businesses in my neighborhood have been long since out of business, there's a McDonalds listed there which was closed before I even moved in several years ago and had been converted to a supermarket.  The McDonalds near a station is listed twice in two different buildings, as is the actual station name.  The Family Mart down the street closed a long time ago and changed into a Lawson.  Major attractions like the Round One nearby are missing.  The big department store near my place only shows up as a bank, probably due to having an ATM for it.  The nearby river and bridge are completely in the wrong spot, located right in the middle of a residential area.  There are really bizarre points of interest shown, for some reason they mapped out several "Parking Meter" spots.

What an embarassment.  Siri is also worthless here, still can't give you local directions or assistance.  She also can't help you with information on Japanese sports teams, asking for the score of the Tigers game gives you the MLB team.

I've been using Swiftkey X since I got this phone. I'll try out the default keyboard to see if it's better.

Opening an app pops it up from the bottom based on where on the screen it was. When taking a pic, the pic zooms out and to the right before the live camera feed slides back in. That kind of thing.

The ICS keybord was also predictive and it wasn't very good compared to Swiftkey. Swiftkey can practically read your mind even when half your letters are typos.

The JB keyboard is different from the ICS one in that it will try to predict the next word you'll type before you've typed a single letter, based on what you've typed so far.

So, typing "the quick" will pop up "brown" as one of the next suggestions, then "fox" after that. It lets you bang out often-used phrases very quickly.

I typed that example up without knowing if it would actually work, but I just tried it and it does.

Yeah that's what Swiftkey also does. I can often type a text message by just pressing the space bar.

I need to try the JB keyboard. But I've got a Sprint GS2 which will probably never get it and a Transformer which Asus is dragging their feet on updating.
