iOS 5 beta 4 is an OTA update... if you can connect
It looks like the just-released iOS 5 beta 4 is an OTA update, with Apple pushing the bit-differential/delta file over the air, over 3G... if you can connect. Lots of people can't, according to Twitter, and are getting "Try Again" errors. When it does work, however, it seems to work well.
Also, many of you are telling us you're having no luck updating via iTunes or Xcode, with "this device isn't eligible" errors cause all manner of frustration.
If you get your update on using either method, let us know!

I tried it 10 minutes ago and got errors, just tried it again and its working :)
iPhone 4 - Mine is stuck at the end with '<1 minute remaining' message for most of the download, have tried quitting settings and restarting the device to no avail. Progress bar seems to move forward then rolls back in a loop (70% - 90%) - could be validation. Waiting...
It's gonna sit at <1 for a while. mine sat there for a good 15 minutes.
cheers its installing now :)
Mine has said <1 minute for quite a while and I am using a wifi connection. My status bar never said anything other than <1 minute either. Any advice?
Not working
works now!
It works with OTA, but iTunes don't show my iPhone in the sidebar
Your welcome for the screenshot :)
I am still getting errors on 3G.
Now I get not connecting to the internet for the message when I press install. Anyone else get this ?
not for me. mine is downloading, about 3 minutes to go :)
ios 5 beta 4 falied vertication because your no longer connected to the internet
Yep, I'm getting same message when I click "Install"
Glad I'm not the only one think it's because the server is being slow bit like the first bit of the download. Should be ok soon.
It worked the download now waiting for the bar on the update screen.
Anyone getting ios 5 beta 4 falied vertication because your no longer connected to the internet
It seems to be stuck? towards the end of the download, I have about 3-5 percent to go and its been like that for 10 mins.
Mine is stuck at < 1 minute. It's been like that for about 12 minutes now.
That's what happen to me it takes some time then You 2 now I get the message below.
same
It worked the download now waiting for the bar on the update screen.
How big is the update?
130MB for my 3GS
i got mine using OTA . at first i tried itunes but it said this device isn't eligible but now it's working finally
Update: installing as we speak! wooo!! took forever..
Same but I got it working very slow but worth it.
I just downloaded and installed... All is well... This process is awesome!
Plug the device in, looks like mine is working now that I have. It has the usual bar while updating
iPod Touch 3G is 130 MB.
iPod Touch 3G??
Mine is installing right now.
Is anyone experiencing the inability to edit their contacts?
Also bank of america app closes all the time
Skype is not working in multitasking
yes to all of the above, some apps are not acclimated to work on ios 5 yet so they will be glitchy.
It's all done wow It's just the servers that are slow but it's the first time Apple have ever done this so it will be slow look at Lion.
less than a minute left! SO SICK!
it only took 4 minutes to download! that's great
Hope they fixed mail since it didn't show in the notification bar in previous builds.
Its version 9A5274d and GSM on AT&T code is 10.2.6
If u r getting verification error then try and restart the phone it should work. It worked for me.
Worked for me After a few tries after getting the internet error
Post-Install notes: Much less lag in my opinion. Mail notifications are stable. I had issues with the previous builds of not always displaying. When unlocking the phone and directly opening to a text message, it no longer locks up for a few seconds. Overall, I like the process, albeit a little slow.
Downloading right now, another 3 minutes remaining
It doesn't show in the bar even if I accept them for Gmail ?
I was waiting for beta4, didn't do the 3rd but i now just did to try the OTA option and worked the minute i was done restoring to beta 3. Sweet deal!! Does netflix work now?
Settings notifications ?
It took 5-6 tries but downloaded the software in about 10 minutes and installed without an issue. I was actually very impressed how smoothly it went just being released.
It is working OTA for me! :)
Just installed beta 4 went smoothly
My iPad was very buggy under beta 3. Almost unusable. I just updated to beta 4 OTA, and I don't feel that "new beta freshness" you get with a clean install through iTunes.
Is this now like Mac OS? A fresh install will yield less buggy results than a delta OTA update?
Anyone try both?
Me too :( still waiting for it to download!
Uploaded for me, looks like they added Documents & Data feature to iCloud settings.
No problem so far.
Looks like my albums are gone now, but I can always add them back
Worked fine for me on first try. Walked away for an hour and it was like nothing changed. Much more smooth in my opinion
Gonna update when I get to iTunes.
Would it mess with a jailbreak? My jailbreak is the only thing that activated my phone and iPad
It will not work with a jailbroken iOS 5 beta.
I installed over Wi-Fi. Had errors about 10 times then connected. Didn't have to be on 3G
first times a charm......worked well for me :)
My device was updated like a charm!!! :)
Update could be found at www.smirksblog.net
I want it now for iPod touch but I am not a dev !
Ask me for my apple ID?
I just installed on my iPhone 4. It took about an hour to download on a 3G connection.
Once downloaded it said that it would not install as my battery was below 50% and not on power source. I plugged in and then installed, took about 10 mins.
All seems ok, some things noticed, photo albums are gone and you can't forward an email with an attachment.
Everything else seems ok.
2 different experience:
1) on iPad 1 like most others I initiated manually the update, it got stuck in the downloading < 1mn for a long while (more than 30mn but it was done when I went back from shopping)
2) on iPhone 4 I didn't ask for anything then got a notification that the update was available and when I went to the settings it was already downloaded (must have done it automatically) and install could be done without plugging it in and fairly quickly (10mn I would say I didn't time it )
i check this site. direct links are herejailbreak ios5 b4 with redsnow
