I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS5 to5.0.1, How I can return to iOS 5?

When I bought my iPhone 4 (last May), came with iOS 4.2.3 and in my opinion the battery did not last long, when I upgraded to iOS 5, the battery life was much, much better, but now with the new IOS 5.0.1 the battery does not last long, lost 8% in 10 minutes playing vz Plants Zombies without modifying any settings in my iPhone. Before upgrading, I could play up to 30 mins and the battery just fell + / -10%.
Is there any way to return to the IOS version 5?

I think that the person above is wrong. There is no way to go from iOS5 back to 4. But I believe you can go from 5.0.1 back to 5.0 if apple is still signing the firmware. I dont think they would have stopped so quickly. Try and download the 5.0 firmware from the internet and when you go into itunes, hold shift and press restore. It will then ask you to locate your firmware file, pick the 5.0 file you downloaded and it will restore from that. You used to be able to do this, so unless they changed it after 5.0 I think you still can.
Give it a try. Unfortunately for me my battery is absolutely terrible and drains at an alarming rate on both 5.0 and 5.0.1 ... I'd LOVE to go back to the last version of iOS4. It was a million times better and my battery was the best I had ever seen from a phone in my life running iOS4 on my iPhone4. Now Gone from the best to EASILY the worst battery experience.

After I updated my iphone 4 to ios5 I cannot send emails

I cannot send emails after I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5. I can get them I just cant send them. I use comcast account. HELP!! Also safari is running REALLY slow.

I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option though.
1. go to settings
2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
3.delete your email from device
4. click "add account"
5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
6. chose "add mail account" and do so
You should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates. Certain email options used "push" which lets you know you have a new email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
8. there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

I have just update my iphone 4 to ios5. i cannot find my photos anywhere can you help? Thanks

i have just updated my iphone 4 to ios5. i cannot find my photos anywhere can you help? Thanks

Hey Kate
if you have backed up your iPhone, photos that were taken on the iPhone will be in the back up file. Any photos synced to your iPhone from a computer will need to be synced again. To restore your iPhone from a back up right click on the name of your iPhone in iTunes and select restore from back up.

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.

Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
"Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
Thanks for any help with this problem

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?

Hi Team,
I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1. While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected. Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.
and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?

You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives?

With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.
