IOS 5.1 Update suddenly morphed iPhone 4s into 4G??

Ok, what is up with the 4G icon?  I have an iPhone 4s 64GB, and after iOS 5.1 update, the 3G icon is now 4G.  Is this an error that has somehow cropped up, or is this a nice easter egg from Apple .....Surprise, you now have 4G?  Ha Ha, Not likely!
Has anyone else had this issue?  My wife has an iPhone 4 32GB and her's is still 3G.
It doesnt affect anything, calls ok and all functions work.  Just interesting.
On a side note, Summary screen in iTunes after iOS 5.1 update lists Phone Number as n/a????   But like I said, the phone works fine.
Thanx for taking a look!
Later

iPhone 4S has supported HSPA+, and the update just updated the indicator to show whether you are using 4G or 3G.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • HT4623 trying to download ios 6 software update to my iphone 4s. While it is downloading it suddenly pauses and knocks me out of my wi-fi network. I then can't access the network in order to continue the download.

    I have a iphone 4s.
    I was trying to download ios 6 software update.
    Put in a wifi network and plugged in before starting download.
    Soon after I hit download it paused and said to choose wifi network before continuing.
    It had knocked out my wifi connection.
    When I turn the wifi back on and ask it to choose a network it can't find it anymore.
    Meanwhile I can't get it to continue to download the ios 6 update.

    Instead of trying to update OTA connect your phone to your computer with USB abd have the latest itunes open and do it that way. If it says you are not connected click cancel and see if the download continues.  iOS 6.1.3 is now the latest so that is what you will be updating to

  • Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

    I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update.  This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby.  Has anyone else noticed this?  This only started once I did the update.  Any solutions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • IOS 5.1 update drains battery iPhone 4s?!

    I updated my iPhone 4s 32gb from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 a couple days ago. Before I updated it l would usually have around 50% of battery left by the end of the day (fully charged in the morning). After I updated to iOS 5.1 my battery gets hotter than usual when I would use the phone and the battery would be dead by 9pm (fully charged in the morning). If it was only one day then I'd attribute it to chance but it has occured every day since the update! I've disabled wifi and all that fun stuff to try to preserve battery life but it still doesn't help. Any fixes or suggestions?

    iPhone 4S has supported HSPA+, and the update just updated the indicator to show whether you are using 4G or 3G.

  • IOS 5.1 update causes my iPhone 4 to reboot in multiple applications

    Ever since the 5.1 update, my iPhone 4 reboots in the middle of trivial tasks (Messaging, for example). I performed a reset, and it rebooted when i tried to put in my passcode.

    I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
    Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you!

  • IOS 5.1 update bricked my iPhone

    I have a 3GS that I tried to update to iOS 5.1 and like the thread title says, it completely bricked the phone.  I left it to update and came back an hour later and it said it had failed to restore.  Now it's stuck at the infamous USB cable -> iTunes screen.  The phone won't connect to iTunes at all.  You can hear windows recognize a new USB device, but iTunes never does.  I've tried all the solutions I've found on the net so far for entering/exiting recovery mode with no success(holding down the home button and connecting to itunes, holding power and home for 20 seconds then releasing the power button and bolding home for another 5 seconds, etc).  I can't even power down the phone.  If you hold the power button, it never even brings up the power down slider, so it makes it hard to even test the solutions I've found.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    I took it to cell phone repair shop and they were able to fix it by re-flashing the firmware. I lost everything on the phone,
    Along with the warranty.  "Flashing" the firmware - i.e. hacking it - other than by standard restore methods usually results in an iOS - modem baseband version mismatch.

  • Incompatible iOS 8 apps updating on my iPhone 4 that only supports iOS7. How can I keep the correct Apps?

    My iPhone 4 is running iOS7. When updating the apps they change to the latest version (8), not supported by my OS. Where are the iOS7 compatible versions? Why can't we keep versions that work? There should be a way that iTunes does not allow updates if there are compatibility issues.
    My device functions ok, so there is no need to update and financially I can not consider a change at the present time.
    (I am hoping other angry users having same issue, so we can unite, rant and create enough publicity to force Apple's hand. Power to the People! =D)

    Ranting is always good... gets it out of the system =)
    I understand what your saying... all apps are saved to my library. When I click on update however, it just updates the app with no consideration of compatibility. Yes, they're third party. iTunes however is not.
    Apple does have control of iTunes, so theoretically could write simple code to determine version numbers and compatibility. It could then simply stop the updates that write over apps in the library. (It may be that the previous versions still reside on my system... I would love to know how to find them if they do...).
    By allowing 'no control', it then means that devices that are older will not be able to run functional apps. That is counter productive from a consumer base that can not keep up with the latest 'of everything'.
    Thanks for the reply.
    That works if your only device is an iPhone 4 and you never plan on adding a newer device. However, I sync 5 devices with iTunes on my computer. I certainly want the latest version of apps for the devices that support it.
    You have the option of restoring an older version to the iTunes library from a backup (if you back up your computer regularly). With a Mac and Time Machine it's just a couple of clicks. Also, it's worth knowing that when iTunes updates an app it deletes the old version to trash (or recycle bin), so you can recover it from there up to the time you empty trash/recycle bin.
