Apple sends out iOS 6.0.2 to fix bugs, but some are unable to close the deal

0. phoneArena posted on 18 Dec 2012, 14:31

While Apple has sent out iOS 6.0.2 to fix some bugs including one that plays havoc with Wi-Fi connectivity, iOS users are having a problem connecting to Apple's servers for the update; the update isn't working for a number of Apple devices, so it is not a problem limited to one model although some are having no problem installing the update...

sheesh byt he size of your comment and your going out of the way just to prove your point...i think you're the one buddy who neeeds a chill pill man! and yeah one more thing why did you have to take tghe example of a GS3 only :)
anyways calling my comments thoughtless isnt cool bro...especially if you're an apple fanboy...we all think and are entitled to our opinions...so thoughtless is akin to name calling and you dont wanna go down that road on PA...trust me!
so unless you've a valid point or just a genuine opinion which I respect...dont bother to troll on my commetns!

Knowing Apple, they'll soon send out 6.0.2.1 with the advertisement: "With a new and improved update, you can now update your update to update! This changes everything again!"

Best iOS 6.0.2 update since 6.0.1 or Best thing happened to iOS 6 since iOS 6.0.1

3. theoak posted on 18 Dec 2012, 14:50 4 1

The update is only for the iPad mini and the iPhone 5.

7. big.e927 posted on 18 Dec 2012, 16:04 1 5

If it truly were only for the iPad mini and the iPhone 5, why did the article have to mention the iPhone 4&4S? Oh, that's right, because they can receive the update too-- that's why.lol

Download first time via Settings and install ok for me.

I used to enjoy getting updates when I had an Android, there were IMPROVEMENTS and fun stuff. iOS updates are bug fixes and boring s**t.

10. scorpio1646 posted on 18 Dec 2012, 16:36 1

Grrrrrrr....this update does NOT fix the problem of not being able to send images through SMS!

12. Droid_X_Doug posted on 18 Dec 2012, 18:15 3 3

Get a GS III. I can send photos by SMS message all the time.

15. christianqwerty posted on 18 Dec 2012, 19:23 1

yeah, its great that pictures on my gs3 come as videos multi media messages.

17. sithvenger (banned) posted on 18 Dec 2012, 21:05 2 1

So can I on my ip5, and I can even edit the vids and preview what I edited it to before I send it.

13. christianqwerty posted on 18 Dec 2012, 18:25 3 1

I wish samsung would push these updates so quickly. Too many bugs after jellybean.

24. rcrider4 posted on 19 Dec 2012, 11:19

And let's not even mention what their ICS update did to our Epic 4G Touch's (it shuts down a lot. Apparently it's a bug in the software that reads the battery level. It thinks the battery level is low and shuts down the phone. It won't restart until you stake the battery out and put it back in)

14. christianqwerty posted on 18 Dec 2012, 18:26 8 1

People bash apple for these updates, but hey, at least ios receives updates.

21. iDroidWin posted on 19 Dec 2012, 01:51 1

What matters to you? Getting these updates or features which are far better than included in iOS. I would choose Custom gingerbread/ICS or Stock Jellybean over iOS 6.

29. CRICKETownz posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:36 1

"far better" isn't factual buddy...its opinion-based so asking a person a question then answering that question w/a response about something you prefer was kind of pointless.

30. iDroidWin posted on 20 Dec 2012, 00:57

Irony buddy. You didn't back it by fact either. Fact and points, you have it. Now give me your PoV, and I hope you reply to this one, with fact. Except for smoothness (my 2.3 custom ROM was smooth enough for me), give me one thing that iOS does as an OS and ecosystem. iOS 6 features reject and sms, I had it on my desire 2.3, MIUI Rom. I didn't even notice it. And it looked similar to what it looks in iOS 6. Maps? You tell. Extra row of icons? Nah. An advanced notification center for iOS 6? Nah. I had swipe to remove individual notification in 2.3. Toggles? Slider for brightness or volume? Customizable Homescreens? Resizeable icons? (i think iOS hides the wallpaper and its beauty with its icons). I could have that shiny bulky icons on my droid, in fact I did, chose not to continue.

Put the blame for this on Google :)

28. CRICKETownz posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:32
