How can I change back from ios 5.0.1 to 5.0?

Just got the 4s yesterday and when I transferred stuff on my computer it updated to supposedly fix a bug but now my texting is weird and my microphone to speak texts is gone. Don't even know what else. How do I switch back without losing my pics and contacts?

Re: How can I change back from ios 5.0.1 to 5.0?

  • iOS 5.0.1 fixes battery life - you don't want to roll back to 5.0.  I would recommend restoring your phone in iTunes to get a fresh start, especially since you just got your phone and presumably don't have much to lose.

  • Go ahead and email yourself all of your photos.

  • okay itunes newb here, if I restore to original settings do I lose contacts and pics or does it just change the ios back to what it came with?

  • You should sync your phone and then click restore, and then after that it will be able to sync back to your last back-up.  My phone got wiped after my sister tried to guess my password 5+ times (work security setting), and I was able to restore it successfully from my last back-up.

  • Does restore go back to the original iOS that the phone came with too? Ever since updating to ops 5.0.1 Siri doesn't work well at all and my mic for speaking texts is gone. Not sure what else since the phone is new to me and it automatically updated right when I got home with it.

  • Ideas:

    Siri must be enabled for that mic button to show up, make sure you haven't disabled her.

    Under General settings, and Keyboard, make sure you have English QWERTY keyboard selected.  Also make sure you have Language and Voice Control set to English under the International section there.

    Turn the phone off (hold the top button until a slider appears to shut the phone off), then turn back on (top button).

  • No, it won't restore it to the original OS, but it will reinstall it.  You may have a bad install, and a restore should fix it.  If not, take it to an Apple store.

  • Thanks for the tips. Somehow when it upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.1 Siri got disabled. Apple store said once you upgrade you can't go back. Good to know.
