[SFStateStudent]

Interesting; I'm waiting for the jailbreak and still using the tethering & MMS hack, go figure....:cool:

[shady825]

iTunes 9 downloading now.
Then 3.1

New Black Nano 16GB is on order from Apple. :D

[megatronbomb]

3.1.1 downloaded and installed for me. What's the difference?

[macduke]

I assume this breaks tethering? I don't really need it anymore, though I did use it quite a bit this summer. It does come in handy in a pinch. I guess there is always NetShare or JB.

They need an option for requiring a passcode to turn off the phone or to turn on airplane mode. This would keep thieves from turning the device off, which would prevent contact from being made with MobileMe, unless they used a Faraday cage or similar. But honestly now...

[iPastor]

So nothing was overwhelming, but from the stand point of iTunes and the iPhone, I am satisfied. Secondly, I think I am going to go pick me up a new Nano. Not like I need it, but just because.

[YoGramMamma]

Of course I'm not going to be the one to actually test whether the benm.at hack is broken with this update or not....

so i'll wait patiently while someone else tests that, thank you very much.

I'm hoping this 3.1 also includes some APIs which I heard a while back give special tie-ins to the video camera and some other hardware features so some of these devs can update their apps. cough*i'mtalkingtoyouQikdevs*cough

[NStocks]

How do I get these new ringtones ? From the itunes wireless store ? Where ?

[John.B]

My guess is that 3.1 will break tethering (which I need, at least until the people at the Deathstar provide a supported solution).

My question is whether I can continue to use iPhone OS 3.0 with iTunes 9?

[Abbaspoor]

Direct link 3.1.1 ipod touch link please

[Lixia]

Humm.. update failed, now my iphone is wiped clean. Doing restore but it's stuck on "waiting for iphone" ... dangit.

[patrickdunn]

MMS? Or do we really have to wait until 9/25?

[iWoz]

got itunes 9

os 3.1 - 12 mins remaining :D

[amac4me]

The update to 3.1 on my second gen iPhone went smoothly.

[Stephen1424]

I am getting a 5002 error. Anyone else get this ?

iPod Touch 2nd Gen and iTunes 9.

[DipDog3]

Already testing it out.

Love it so far!

[sauer228]

I see they've also reduced the price for the 3.1 upgrade.

[Kaptajn Haddock]

It actually list the software as 3.1.1 on my iPod Touch

[Eminemdrdre00]

Does this fix the annoying high pitched sound that comes out of the iPhone3GS? I hope so!

[quagmire]

Hmm.... the speaker is a lot quieter now then with 3.0. It is as if not more quieter then the first-gen iPhone.
*

[iphones4evry1]

Is there anything new for 3G users? It seems like everything that is listed is for 3GS users. :confused:

[Chicagomac08]

or did I pay $10 for 3.0 and if I would have waited $5 for 3.1:mad:

[funkdis]

It actually list the software as 3.1.1 on my iPod Touch


. same here

[HiVolt]

I hope they fixed the stupid bug that you cannot switch tracks with Stereo Bluetooth headphones...

[sbbrown333]

Is it there now? Please say yes. I've been waiting on it before I buy the Motorola S9-HD headset.

[fishballer]

i haven't downloaded it yet, but i know
- safari is snappier
- battery is better

[michael31986]

Anyone know if it fixes the sms alert randomly not going off sometimes?

[SSandy]

Sorry to see no mention of better support for Bluetooth A2DP controls. Anyone tested this?

Sandy

[fixmymac]

Hi,

Update my iPhone 3G 16GB. Tethering option was still there. I turned it on and attempted to connect from iMac. Failure message appeared after having to pair the devices. Tethering option then disappeared from iPhone.

Restarted iPhone..... no tethering option.

I was 99% sure this was going to happen. I got a text from O2 LAST Wednesday telling me about a new OS update for iPhone... important features blah blah blah.

I don't use tethering. Not bothered!

[HiVolt]

Is it there now? Please say yes. I've been waiting on it before I buy the Motorola S9-HD headset.

Stereo Bluetooth has been out since OS 3.0 release, but it lacks the capability of changing tracks from the headphones. Works fine for music, play/pause, answer/end calls, just no skip tracks. Stupid, I hope 3.1.1 fixes it.

[NStocks]

Does anyone think the screen looks ' different ' . It may just be my lighting, but the screen seems a little brighter... or more blue.

How do I get the ringtones mentioned ?

[YuriVoorhak]

Threw me into DFU mode, had to restore.
Heckuva job, Brownie!

[michael31986]

OMG! does it really lower the speaker! if so ill be pissed!

[chr1s60]

MMS? Or do we really have to wait until 9/25?

We really have to wait.

[Fuchal]

Does anyone think the screen looks ' different ' . It may just be my lighting, but the screen seems a little brighter... or more blue.

Don't you start that again

[vivithemage]

interesting, was hoping for some better fixes/updates but I guess I can't complain too much.

[lindmar]

Weird itunes update now showing anywhere for me.

[Brien]

Hmm, I wonder what happened to 3.1.0?

Also an FYI, OS 3.1b3 suddenly has the new features (genius etc.) so it would appear the functionality was there, but hidden.

[NStocks]

Don't you start that again

Haha good point....

Really, how do I get the ringtones :S

[mrdean2]

OMG! does it really lower the speaker! if so ill be pissed!

I want to know this too....this was the WORST bug of the original iPhone and MEGA FAIL from all angles. If it is as quiet as the original iPhone, it will but useless to me.

[hanpa]

I want:

- YouTube with decent quality on 3G cellular, I have about 2-3 Mbit/s effective download rate both on Wi-Fi and 3G cellular, why do I get lousy quality on 3G when I have the bandwidth?
- Removal of other 3G cellular restrictions to allow Skype calls etc.
- Possibility to run at least music apps like Spotify in the background
- Correction of the problem with third-party apps that stops working, solved by new app download
- Removal of the bug that stops execution for a second or more (no response) in any app now and then
- Display of accumulated cellular download in the status bar
- Display of turbo-3G as 3.5G or similar in the status bar
- Possiblity to change rotation of the screen when the keyboard is displayed
- Addition of a "go to end of page" in Safari (had to add a bookmark with javascript to get this)
- More home screens
- Naming of home screens
- Removal of 2GB restriction per app, let the user decide this

[Baadshah]

does it mean that crack apps will not work anymore? and what about cydia and cydia apps? Cause it has some genius features.

[fuzion11]

does 3.1 allow us to copy and paste videos into mail or mms?

Well the second part of the question is for Canadians! lol

[nfl46]

does it mean that crack apps will not work anymore? and what about cydia and cydia apps? Cause it has some genius features.

Lol, no they won't work until you rejailbreak your iPhone and download the hack file thingy in Cydia.

[XciteMe]

Can somebody explain to me, the meaning behind the "Safari seems snappier" thing???

Every time there's a new OS update, somebody always says this.

What does it mean??? I mean, I know what it MEANS (faster, duh...) but is it real or just a joke???

Welcome to MacRumors. :D
And yes, Safari is snappier... always is. ;):p

[BigJohno]

Wait so tethering is no more??? I don't even want to upgrade if that is true ....

[fimac]

Updated to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1. iPhone continues to work great on 'FI elisa' with MMS and tethering. :)

It's a running gag that with every software update (doesn't matter what it's for) somebody always commented that Safari was snappier.

I think fishballer is using what we call al little sarcasim...people always seem to say these 2 things after an OS update, usuaually there is not a real difference.

[IronCross]

Soooo does this break the benm.at tethering?

[H$R]

Wait so tethering is no more??? I don't even want to upgrade if that is true ....

The official Tethering (in countries where it was allowed since 3.0) it still works, it's still listed on the Apple page and I write this being tethered.

Don't know about jailbroken phones though.

[Sakura Eclair]

I've just installed both the iPod Touch 3.1.1 update (from 3.0) Didn't see anything particularly special yet. BUt iTunes 9 looks sweet and the App navigator is awesome.

[BrokenRepublic]

Speaker level and quality seems to be the same as before. So, no worries.

[daflake]

Can someone post up the build number?

[Baadshah]

Lol, no they won't work until you rejailbreak your iPhone and download the hack file thingy in Cydia.

which hack file? and is it in cydia now? so does it mean after jailbreak 3.1, i can use crack apps aswell??

[a2gsupaman]

MMS is still not available yet. Just installed 3.1 and still have to go to viewmymessage

[robche]

My backing up since installing 3.1 is taking forever !

Also quick question as its backing up does any one no if the battery percentage is avaliable in this update as they forgot or there was issues to put it in 3.0 ??

I no its avalibable for Iphone 3gs but is the battery percentage in 3.1 iphone update and working for iphone 3g?

[mrdean2]

Speaker level and quality seems to be the same as before. So, no worries.

Thank you for the info. I am about to leave work for the day and update iTunes and my phone, but I was not to keen about lowering my receiver's volume. :)

[SirOmega]

"Remotely lock iPhone with a passcode via MobileMe"

Thats nice. so If you lose your phone but didn't have it passcoded you can push that down and then no one will be able to get into it.

Also I d/l iTunes 9 and its nice. Home sharing is neutered enough where music companies wont get up in arms. Though I can see app developers crying about sharing apps between computers (buying a GPS nav system once and then putting it on many phones).

However I cant seem to get Genius mixes to show up, I get Genius but not Mixes.

[darkfiber]

Does 3.1 include a permanent fix for the camera roll bug?

http://www.tuaw.com/2009/08/26/fix-iphones-camera-roll-display-bug/

I just came across that about a week ago.

[mrdean2]

"Remotely lock iPhone with a passcode via MobileMe"

(buying a GPS nav system once and then putting it on many phones).


My first move tonight!

[SSandy]

Well, I've got 3.1 installed on iPhone 3Gs No evidence at all that control with Bluetooth stereo head phone is any different than before the update. Only play and pause on my Sony and no control whatsoever on the Jabra Halo -- just as before with 3.0. Nuts!

I think that since the upgrades force a restart of the phone, any residual memory leaks or runaway processes are restarted as well. This would lead to better battery life and snappier overall performance. People notice this each time and attribute it to the new OS, when it is most likely just because they needed to restart their iPhone.

[december]

trying to go from 2.2.1 to 3.1.1 and i keep getting a 404 error. anyone else having trouble? do i need itunes 9 first?

[BrokenRepublic]

Thank you for the info. I am about to leave work for the day and update iTunes and my phone, but I was not to keen about lowering my receiver's volume. :)

You're very welcome.

[aphexacid]

Can someone else verify if they lowered the volume of the speaker?

I'm not updating until i figure this out

[Prospekt]

What is the at&t carrier file?

[Rapmastac1]

So let me get this straight. I paid 10.00 to upgrade from my 2.2.1 OS to the 3.0 OS and I could have waited literally two days and only paid 5.00 to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.1? That's BS!

But I intended on Jailbreaking so the point is moot, but it sucks for those who just barely upgraded/bought new iPod Touch's and did the 10 upgrade when they could have gotten it for 5.

[macswitcha2]

This update is for the 3gs too?

[Mr. Zorg]

Though I can see app developers crying about sharing apps between computers (buying a GPS nav system once and then putting it on many phones).
You can already do that, as long as they all sync with the same iTunes account logon. It's not clear (to me anyway) if that restriction exists with the home sharing, but I imagine so -- maybe not though.

[orson3g]

What is the at&t carrier file?

5.0

[Blue Fox]

I would really like to know why it still takes me over an hour to backup my iPhone 3G when I go to update the software. Not that it's a huge deal as it works fine, it just takes forever. Was hoping iTunes 9 was going to fix this (maybe iPhone OS 3.1 will maybe?)

[foureyedsoul]

trying to go from 2.2.1 to 3.1.1 and i keep getting a 404 error. anyone else having trouble? do i need itunes 9 first?

Yep, you're supposed to get iTunes 9 first, then sync and update the phone's OS.

There's a little "Learn How" thing in the top right corner of the main frame that tells you the steps:

When they released 3.0, it took a very long time the first time you synced; after that it seemed to only do delta updates so syncing went much faster. I suspect it is the same this time.

[BeyondtheTech]

Just to clarify,

3.1 (7C144) was released for all three generations of iPhone.
3.1.1 (7C145) was released for all three generations of iPod touch.

You can download them directly from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ (which basically parses the http://itunes.com/version XML feed).

iClarified stated (http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4536) that the BenM tethering hack was disabled back during the second beta of 3.1, so it's almost guaranteed that it's disabled in the final release.

3.1 beta 2 did fix the high-pitch noise issue that occured in many iPhone 3GS during recording of video and voice memos, so I'm sure it also remained fixed in the final release.

so your screwed if you don't have mobile me or if the person already was able to get into your device. not exactly bulletproof

[mrkgoo]

Is it just me or did iTunes9/3.1 upgrade dump all my obsolete firmware files for iPod touch and iPhone? It retained the latest firmware files, but why did it keep my first iPod touch firmware, but dump out all the rest? I guess a restore to factory for the iPod touch needs that first one. But what about the iPhone, then?

[ortuno2k]

Downloaded iTunes 9 and installing 3.1 on my 3G iPhone.

iTunes 9 looks nice! Haven't had a chance to try any "new" features yet.

I am noticing quite a lot of spinning beach balling... * scratches head **

Maybe it's 'cause I'm trying to do all these things at the same time... Now, off to restore iPhone to factory default and start from scratch.

No iTunes 64 though :(

[fishballer]

heh. sorry to confuse the newbies, but they had to be brought into the fold one way or the other, right?

I think fishballer is using what we call al little sarcasim...people always seem to say these 2 things after an OS update, usuaually there is not a real difference.

[thegman1234]

Still drops calls like nobodies business. Very, very, very frustrating.

[alex3d]

Just ran the update and everything seems good so far. But suddenly while I was in the app store I think, a message popped up asking me to confirm my phone number. Did anyone else get this as well? Strange...

[akac]

I want:

- YouTube with decent quality on 3G cellular, I have about 2-3 Mbit/s effective download rate both on Wi-Fi and 3G cellular, why do I get lousy quality on 3G when I have the bandwidth?

Maybe you don't have the bandwidth...

- Removal of other 3G cellular restrictions to allow Skype calls etc.
- Possibility to run at least music apps like Spotify in the background
- Correction of the problem with third-party apps that stops working, solved by new app download

I haven't heard of or seen that bug. As an App developer I probably would.

- Removal of the bug that stops execution for a second or more (no response) in any app now and then

Usually that means something is going on in the background. As a very heavy user/developer I haven't seen this either.

- Display of accumulated cellular download in the status bar

That seems a bit specific and non-user friendly.

- Display of turbo-3G as 3.5G or similar in the status bar

I'm sure if you had that you'd get that.

- Possiblity to change rotation of the screen when the keyboard is displayed

Works for me.

- Addition of a "go to end of page" in Safari (had to add a bookmark with javascript to get this)
- More home screens
- Naming of home screens
- Removal of 2GB restriction per app, let the user decide this
I had way more than 2GB in one app... (voice recording).

[dwd3885]

Still drops calls like nobodies business. Very, very, very frustrating.

ATT is not for everybody. Works perfectly fine in my area. Never had a dropped call.

[akac]

Still drops calls like nobodies business. Very, very, very frustrating.

That's an AT&T thing - not iPhone.

[RMo]

[Am I crazy,] or did I pay $10 for 3.0 and if I would have waited $5 for 3.1:mad:

Nope, you're absolutely right.

[Peace]

I had MMS in the 3.1 beta but now in the release it's gone.

[zax123]

When I installed 3.0 on my 3G 16GB, WiFi stopped working (a bug a LOT of people had). It had something to do with Bluetooth being on the same antenna or something like that. Strange that I didn't have this problem with 2.x. So I waited till 3.1 came out trusting that Apple would see the large number of people having this problem and fix it. Well, for me anyway, it isn't fixed. Has WiFi performance improved for anyone on 3.1 who was having issues on 3.0?

[evilspoons]

The ringtone thing still confuses the hell out of me. :confused:

Why is it you can buy a song for $0.99 but PART of the song costs $1.29?? I know it's still cheaper than most carrier ringtones ($4.00!! WTF!) but seriously, on my BlackBerry I just download the song (iTunes Plus, for example) then crop it and put it on my phone. That cost $0 more than the song.

Does it not seem obvious to everyone that ringtones are the same thing as music files? Gah!

[mikejd1]

not sure if this was mentioned but you can now sync back videos from the photos tab in itunes!

[orangermac]

Maybe this was a bug that only affected me before, but the Double-click home button setting now works with the combination of:

Search
iPod Controls (ON)

Prior to this, the iPod Controls would pop up if these were both selected, whether I was currently playing music or not. Now it does what it claims, defautling to the search unless music is playing. Interestingly, double tapping brings me to search from music when in portrait mode but brings up the music controls when in landscape (cover flow) mode (probably because it lacks the controls in this mode).

[dr_lha]

Yep, you're supposed to get iTunes 9 first, then sync and update the phone's OS.

There's a little "Learn How" thing in the top right corner of the main frame that tells you the steps:

8.2.1 updates the iPhone Firmware to 3.1 just fine.

[darksider]

Does anyone have an experience with the 3.1 and jabra bt620s - bluetooth headset?

Does the "next/previous track" work now?

thank you!

[TrEyHoLyO]

does anyone know if the tethering is still working? I changed the carrier file before to make it work. When you update can you use the older itunes to update the carrier file again if you have too?

[vilasgn]

It looks like the contacts scrolling by alphabet is still now fixed?

Am I missing something?

[WickedRabbit]

I hope they fixed the stupid bug that you cannot switch tracks with Stereo Bluetooth headphones...

Sorry - and someone can correct me if i'm wrong - but this is not an error. This is a lacking feature of the iPhone. The device needs to support the Bluetooth profile of AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) and the iPhone I don't believe does. It only supports A2DP (stereo bluetooth for wireless listening).

[farleysmaster]

Anyone else annoyed that podcasts aren't showing up in the playlists?

And my podcast screen is also fairly jerky...

[akacaj]

Anything new with Stereo Bluetooth? Last I heard you could not control the volume with certain bluetooth headsets. I would love to pick up the Sony HBH-IS800 stereo headphones if the volume control has been fixed.

[Floyd26]

i still don't see the camera icon after my software update, So iam guessing we still have 2 wait until the 25th.

[bacaramac]

Hopefully they fixed the app icon issue for good. I am about sick of deleting app and losing my progress and re-installing just to fix the display of the wrong app icon. Very, very annoying.

[gdhnz]

New update still hasn't fixed the 1 day out of birthdays in the Contacts App.

SFPD :mad:

[jingbugle]

What's with the blu-ray word mentioned in the ITunes 9 about dlg?

[Sonicjay]

So let me get this straight. I paid 10.00 to upgrade from my 2.2.1 OS to the 3.0 OS and I could have waited literally two days and only paid 5.00 to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.1? That's BS!

But I intended on Jailbreaking so the point is moot, but it sucks for those who just barely upgraded/bought new iPod Touch's and did the 10 upgrade when they could have gotten it for 5.

Imagine if you paid $600 for the Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade, then two days later, FCS 3 Upgrade released for $300. It's five dollars.. :rolleyes:

[z4n3]

Love the new tethering data stats :D



:apple:

[dustinizatt]

woo hoo, 1 hour backups are now back with 3.1

I miss my speedy 1 minute backups, but since upgrading, it's back to the damn 1 hour backup problem.

Fetch.

Anyone know how you make one of those genius mixes? i'm in the iPod app but see no genius icon at the bottom?!

woo hoo, 1 hour backups are now back with 3.1

[Insane.J]

Could anyone post a screenshot - category top 25 - from the iphone app store? There is a new button "rewarding" at top?

[aphexacid]

Someone please check the volume of their speaker. That guy that posted a few pages ago talking about it sounds like a 2G has me worried, and im not upgrading until i hear it from a few people.

pleeeease, and thanks!

[Cyroceon]

ok, some i'm not the only one at this point :(

I'm there also.

[A Macbook Pro]

Downloading now. Let's hope this fixed the wi-fi issues with the iPod Touch.

3GS no problems :D



:apple:

[dugbug]

When I installed 3.0 on my 3G 16GB, WiFi stopped working (a bug a LOT of people had). It had something to do with Bluetooth being on the same antenna or something like that.

Well, for me anyway, it isn't fixed. Has WiFi performance improved for anyone on 3.1 who was having issues on 3.0?


Not that this has anything to do with 3.1, but I found after 3.0 I was equally wi-fi challenged (had to be within a meter of the router to get a signal bar on the iphone).

When I configured my router to be "G-only" as opposed to "G or N" suddenly my phone wifi came back to _nearly_ its original form. I have no idea why but it helped.

You may want to check that.

Has anyone tested it with tethering on AT&T? Does it break the benm.at profile?:confused:

[Lycanthrope]

Update was seemingly fine (Belgian 3GS, factory unlocked), but I noted afterwards that my cellular internet and MMS credential were wiped.

Weird...

[arh]

I had the O2 UK tethering hack installed on my non-jailbroken 16GB 3G. I just updated to 3.1 and tethering wasn't working.

I went to settings - general - network and there was no tethering option. I removed the O2 profile provided by the hack and the tethering option reappeared in network settings, but selecting it gave the message to contact O2 to enable tethering on the account.

I reinstalled the hacked O2 profile, back into network settings. As the page was displayed the 'set up internet tethering' option was visible for a split second before disappearing.

Looks like they've well and truly nobbled that hack. It was bound to happen I suppose. It hasn't exactly broken my heart. I'll just go back to using my 3 network mobile broadband USB dongle with my Macbook that is cheaper to use than the O2 tethering bolt-on. I just thought I'd post my experience in case anyone else uses it a lot.

[drewsky5]

Has anyone tested it with tethering on AT&T? Does it break the benm.at profile?:confused:

I am wondering this too....I already updated to 3.1, so I guess it doesn't matter all that much at this point if it doesn't work....

[Lycanthrope]

Could anyone post a screenshot - category top 25 - from the iphone app store? There is a new button "rewarding" at top?

Imagine if you paid $600 for the Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade, then two days later, FCS 3 Upgrade released for $300. It's five dollars.. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure why people keep missing this.

IT STATES ON THE APPLE SITE:

If you bought OS 3.0 for you touch - then you get 3.1 FOR FREE.

If you're still running 2.x - then it's $5.00 for the 3.1 update; which includes all 3.0 updates.

Reading comprehension, ftw.

[aphexacid]

3GS no problems :D



:apple:


Anyone else care to confirm also?

[Brien]

Hmm... if 3.1.1 is iPod touch only, I wonder if 3.1.0 had a camera app for the 3rd-gen, when they had to scrap the camera at the last minute?

If they don't plan on adding a camera this year after all, and the iPhone losing AT&T exclusivity are true, then maybe they're going to phase out the iPod touch in favor of contract-free iPhones.

[Cartoonkid]

The ringtone thing still confuses the hell out of me. :confused:

Why is it you can buy a song for $0.99 but PART of the song costs $1.29?? I know it's still cheaper than most carrier ringtones ($4.00!! WTF!) but seriously, on my BlackBerry I just download the song (iTunes Plus, for example) then crop it and put it on my phone. That cost $0 more than the song.

Does it not seem obvious to everyone that ringtones are the same thing as music files? Gah!

Yep, total ripoff. But I guess they figure they can charge a premium for doing the cropping for you.

I'm still an iPhone noob, so I'll apologize for posting this if it's common knowledge, but here's how to create ringtones from your non-DRM music files.

He's complaining becuase he JUST bought 3.0. if he would have waited, he could have got 3.1 for $5, instead of paying $10 a few days before.

Anyone on 2.x can upgrade for only $5 and that includes 3.0

Um.. actually I think he's got it right. Suggest you re-read.

This person had 2.x and upgraded to 3.0 for $10 a couple of days ago. Yes he can go to 3.1 for free now, but he's already spent $10. Whereas if he'd just waited for a couple of days he would have spent $5 less and got 3.1

[madmaxmedia]

*scoff* well then he should have acquired 3.0 - there's plenty of places to do so. ;)

Yeah, but that would have made the whole $5 vs. $10 completely irrelevant at all- ;)

I apologize, I read his post and it didn't mention saving per your scenario, just that he was complaining that he just spent $10 to upgrade. it could've been interpreted both ways.

[iBookG4user]

I want to keep my tethering, so I'm skipping this. Doesn't look like anything too exciting for my 3G anyway.

[jholzner]

Can someone explain to me how having bluetooth turned on can improve WiFi performance? :confused:

Seems to me the only performance it will affect is the battery performance...negatively.

It won't. They are saying that there was an issue with WiFi while bluetooth was turned on and that issue has been fixed. So, WiFi is now improved when bluetooth is turned on. ;)

[TrEyHoLyO]

Someone is saying that you must have tethering enabled before you upgrade to 3.1. I don't know if someone wants to test this to make sure

http://forum.theiphoneblog.com/iphone-help/177856-how-keep-tethering-3-1-a.html

It won't. They are saying that there was an issue with WiFi while bluetooth was turned on and that issue has been fixed. So, WiFi is now improved when bluetooth is turned on. ;)

Ah. NOW I get it. Sorry, guess I'm a little slow today.

Seems it would've been easier to just say they fixed the WiFi/bluetooth bug, but I guess it wouldn't have sounded quite as impressive.

[ethan028]

For the mobileme lock thing you can just bypass that through DFU :c Well i'll check just to be sure. Because if someone got my phone i don't want them ever using it >:c

[realgenius]

woo hoo, 1 hour backups are now back with 3.1

I miss my speedy 1 minute backups, but since upgrading, it's back to the damn 1 hour backup problem.

I've connected and backed up twice so far. Both the initial backup and subsequent backup took about 10 seconds on my half-full 1G Touch.

[Mcthings]

3.1 bricked my less than 2 week old 3GS. Apple just works.

Home button is also snappier.

[jacg]

Keen to keep my unofficial O2 Tethering going for occasional GPRS email access (it's handy sometimes but not worth £10/month), so I'll wait and see how difficult the update makes this. Most recent posts sound promising though.

However, if I can send mail from mobileme aliases without workarounds, that might get me to sign up for 3.1. Anyone know if you can do this yet? (ie while keeping push on).

[chatoyer]

Damn. Happened to me with the 3.0 update so I'm scared *****less about doing this one.

[Amdahl]

or did I pay $10 for 3.0 and if I would have waited $5 for 3.1:mad:

Yeah, but it is older tech now. Apple is always moving forward, and older products have to be dropped!

So let me get this straight. I paid 10.00 to upgrade from my 2.2.1 OS to the 3.0 OS and I could have waited literally two days and only paid 5.00 to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.1? That's BS!

But I intended on Jailbreaking so the point is moot, but it sucks for those who just barely upgraded/bought new iPod Touch's and did the 10 upgrade when they could have gotten it for 5.
Why are you complaining? Your iThing still does everything it did yesterday. You got exactly what you paid for. Apple has to make progress, and that means leaving older tech behind.

Yep, total ripoff. But I guess they figure they can charge a premium for doing the cropping for you.Well, somebody has got to pay for all the innovation Apple does. And you've got to admit, playing songs when your phone rings is pretty advanced!@

I wish the words EPIC and FAIL could be permanently removed from the online world. ha ha ha

[bmoorhouse]

I am disappointed that with iPhone 3.1, Apple did not give iPhone users the Pedometer, movie effects, and the FM radio that the Nano got.

The pedometer uses accelerometers (that the iphone has as well), the movie effects are simply software based, and the communications chip in the iPhone reportedly includes an FM transceiver that a software update could unlock.

Maybe iPhone users will get these features in 3.2.

"Remotely lock iPhone with a passcode via MobileMe"

Thats nice. so If you lose your phone but didn't have it passcoded you can push that down and then no one will be able to get into it.

Also I d/l iTunes 9 and its nice. Home sharing is neutered enough where music companies wont get up in arms. Though I can see app developers crying about sharing apps between computers (buying a GPS nav system once and then putting it on many phones).

However I cant seem to get Genius mixes to show up, I get Genius but not Mixes.

Yeah but there's a catch...I enabled home sharing and it says you must use the same iTunes store account on the other computers to share so therefore you can't really do that unless you and all your family/friends use the same account.

Damn. Happened to me with the 3.0 update so I'm scared *****less about doing this one.

I thought my 3Gs just bricked too! It set my phone into recovery mode. Just restore it (it takes a long time! it did not react for about 15 minutes). Just let iTunes do its thing and eventually it will restore it. Then I was able to restore from backup with 3.1

I was scared too for a while because this has never happened to me in the 3 iPhones I have had.

I was able to upgrade my 3GS without too much of a hassle, but when I started my wife's 3GS it gave the same error as everyone above and forced me to restore it from its last backup---which takes much longer than the 3.1 upgrade itself.

When we all updated our iPhones to 3.0 a while back, I had a bricked iphone halfway through the update. When all else failed, I called apple and they said the servers that authenticate each iphone update were overloaded and to keep trying. Fortunately I was able to finish my update within 5 minutes or so, but it makes me wonder if they were really prepared for the massive worldwide updates with both itunes and iphone 3.1 today?

Guess I'll just keep reading and find out. I'm sure any problems will be tossed around here like a spinning beach ball!

[SMGreenfield]

AFTER upgrading to 3.1, I spent about 30 minutes re-arranging apps in the updated iTunes Applications pane, pressed "apply", expecting the new positions to take effect -- it restored the positions BACK to the way they were before I did all that moving! (or rather -- it had ZERO effect)...

I haven't found any real differences from 3.0 that I would use daily, or really even ever. Keep in mind here that I have a second gen iPod touch, so many of the changes don't apply... although I hope they fixed the problems 3.0 made withwi-fi

The best things seem to be the iTunes update, which (thank god) is 50 times faster then iTunes 8.

Hopefully this repairs the Bluetooth connectivity on some BMW's.

I have 330i ZHP and the Bluetooth connectivity icon on my OEM navigation screen hasn't been displayed since I've upgraded to the 3G S. In addition, when I make/receive calls; the audio only comes out through the bottom speakers (as opposed to hearing audio through all my automobile's speakers).

[PoitNarf]

I think walking 20 miles should be more like 10 hours....

Average walking speed for a human is around 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. Walking 20.4 miles would take you 5 hours and 50 minutes at an average pace of 3.5 mph. If you can't maintain that pace then you either have some sort of physical handicap or you simply need to lose a lot of weight ;)

[LastZion]

Upgraded to 3.1 first, no problems, then upgraded to 9 afterwards, smooth sailing

[Jamie 360]

3.1.1 downloaded and installed for me. What's the difference?

Can anyone confirm if Itoner still works? I'm wondering if 3.1 might have broken it due to the focus on new Itunes ringtones. :confused:

Just a note to say that I'm very pleased that stereo bluetooth now works properly with my iphone and Philips SHB6100 headset. Previously (3.0) it only worked in headset mode, not stereo music mode.

[dwsolberg]

FYI: I'm on Mac 10.5.8, updated to iTunes 9.0 and iPhone 3.1, and everything worked perfectly.

Backups are just as speedy as before.
iPhone is the same speed as before.
Moving icons around in iTunes worked great.
Scrolling applications in iTunes is now fast and smooth.
Peggle now starts up with having half the screen logo flash at the bottom.

I'm not doubting anyone. I'm just saying that at least one person had a very smooth update.

Average walking speed is typically 3-4 miles an hour. So actually Google has accounted for stopping at a Starbucks, getting stuck at traffic lights and stopping to eat at least one Chicago dog with the works! ;)

Itunes froze on me during my initial attempt to update. I had to force quit. The second attempt was fine.

Backing up still feels like it takes way too long though.

AFTER upgrading to 3.1, I spent about 30 minutes re-arranging apps in the updated iTunes Applications pane, pressed "apply", expecting the new positions to take effect -- it restored the positions BACK to the way they were before I did all that moving! (or rather -- it had ZERO effect)...

Just completed upgrading my 32GB iPhone 3GS under Windows XP SP3 no problems.

can install itunes 9 without updated my iphone and still sync it without any problems
So iTunes 9 installed with iPhone OS 3.0?

[Army of SMASH]

With iPhones used by multiple users in a house hold sometimes. It would be nice that to be able to protect my Mail, Internet, and other apps if needed by a password.

Will I have to wait for OS 6.0 for this little but useful add on?

I don't think it's that common for people to share cell phones...

Sorry -- not following. Are you pointing out something relevant to why I can't seem to get the iTunes icon arrangement window to propagate its changes to the actual iPhone?

[Poncho]

I connected, synced and ejected my iPod Touch after 3.1.1 update and now I have a process called 'Image Capture Extension' running on my Mac.

It's pointing back to an iPod when looked at in Activity Monitor.

Anyone else?

On 3.0, if you were scrolling down the list of updates, the icons for the apps wouldn't load while scrolling which was annoying. Now they do load while scrolling.

What happened to the 1 hour option in require passcode. After updating, I can only go up to 15 minutes. Anyone else find this to be true?

Updated to iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1. iPhone continues to work great on 'FI elisa' with MMS and tethering. :)

Oh no- tethering is still available for the LOW price of $29.99/month with 3.1. It is a great day to be an AT&T customer the representative said at the press conference!

Had they made it $9.99 or less I might have considered it, but how about raping the consumers that have already secured your company's future again and again. Especially when other companies have made it free - Trio. We're just stuck and there's nothing else we can do except jailbreak or not update! Nice! Take a lesson from Sprint, the way they pissed off all their customers with ETFs etc and their downturn and do the right thing?!

Can a company give a little to get a lot anymore? The only one I see taking care of it's customers is Costco (reducing food margins/profits to keep their members caused them to miss earnings/profits a few months back and the stock dipped) and they don't even sell the iphone!

Still drops calls like nobodies business. Very, very, very frustrating.

It's nobody's business how much it drops calls. Stay out of other people's business. It's not your business. It's nobody's.

Hmm... Updated my 3GS and iTunes just fine. I now have a Tethering switch where there was none before!

I haven't actually tried it though.

(no, I never used any hacks to enable it).

Voice control over Bluetooth - about time! With all the features and fixes I figure I'm about a year and a half away from replacing my Blackberry. Still need to see 1) a week view and 2) the ability only alert on messages that are "important".

I have been experiencing an increase of speed.

I love it :)

Did you back up?

[hanpa]

Nothing useful in this OS upgrade.

What about removal of the 3G cellular restrictions and enabling third-party music applications to run in the background?

I don't want to jailbreak my Iphone but Apple will force me to do this.

[Xenu007]

When someone on Exchange sends a calendar invite via email, it still appears as an attachment that you can't import or open in iPhone 3.1.

So much for being business friendly. :mad:
