Hi Teresa, I believe that if you left Bluetooth on that it would still be on after the update process although I can't confirm that for sure since I always turn it off. As for resetting the network settings, I don't think this is done during the update process, either, after all you need a stabil WiFi connection during the update. Anyhow, I can only repeat what others who know more about this than me advise, but I think the most important thing is to clear your app switcher and reboot the phone, it's always worked well for me this way.

Doesn't the update reset the phone anyway? I don't suppose it hurts to take everything out of the app switcher, however. Sage advice from the Department of redundancy Department, in any case. :) Teresa On Sep 18, 2012, at 9:50 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > Hello List, > > Thought I briefly outline what I do which is also what I heard Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast recommend before upgrading to a new version of iOS. I have never had issues so I guess it definitely won't hurt to do those few simple things: > > 1. Turn off Bluetooth if it is running > 2. Rob from Today in iOS also recommends to go to Settings" "General" and "Reset" and reset the network settings. I have never done this because I am too lazy to re-enter my WiFi passwords so it's up to you if you want to do this or not. > 3. Clear out the app switcher completely which means from the Home screen double press the Home Key and then double tap and hold on one of the apps in the app switcher, after the tri-tone double or split-tap each app until Voiceover says "app switcher is empty", press the Home Key or tap "Dismiss app switcher". > 4.

Press the power button to turn the phone back on, after it's booted up go to "Settings", "General" and "Software Updates".
