Hello,
Well, I was too impatient when my phone sat at 96% for about 5 minutes. What made me wonder was the fact that the status line did not indicate any network activity, so I turned my phone off and restarted. When I went back to Software Updates it told me my 5.1.1 was the current version so I just hooked it up to my computer, opened iTunes and clicked on "Check for Updates". iTunes told me iOS 6 was available, I clicked "Download and Install" and everything went without a hitch. It still downloaded slow, but the update went fine and after my iPhone rebooted iTunes told me that updated carrier settings were also available and did I want to download them. I have an unlocked 4S on the Canadian carrier Koodo which is owned by Telus, one of the 3 major carriers here. I told it to go ahead and update. Then I unlocked my phone, it asked me to accept the licence agreement, I had to put in my Apple Id password for iCloud, iMessage etc. and eventually I was back on my home screen. Only new app on my first home screen was Passbook which caused the last app that was there previously to be bumpted to page 2, but it was by its lonely there and everything had been shifted another page, not a big deal. I also noted that Voiceover was using the compact Voice even though I previously had been using the high quality voice, but since I had it plugged in the high quality voice came back suddenly after about 8 or 10 minutes. I was just exploring the new settings and had just gone into the Voiceover settings to check this out when it switched, I guess it has to redownload for the new iOS. Now everything is working perfectly and I really have to get to work, I guess I might even try out the new maps on my way. From what a few people reported it seems that doing it via the computer may have saved me some troubles in the end and I think I'll remember that maybe to do the next major update that way again instead of over the air. Good luck and enjoy everybody, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
