Apple Seeds iOS 4.2 Beta 3 to Developers

[Rhaegar]

I think another small new feature is the possibility to block the invite friends feature in Game Center.

You need to be a PAID Apple developer, this is not a Golden Master Release, this is a developer only pre release beta not for public distribution. Wait patiently.

Not true. The first two betas of 4.2 (for iPad, at least) did not require UDID registration...

Downloading shortly but in the meantime can someone confirm if sky mobile is back working

The last 2 betas were easily installed WITHOUT a developer account, by option-updating (as opposed to restoring). He was asking if this third beta can be updated in a similar fashion without being a developer. Great way to gain multitasking and folders before the official release.

Is starting a Facetime call via Voice Control possible in 4.1?

Man that looks awesome!

So, can someone please confirm that the Option-Upgrade trick still works for non-registered devices?

yes it works! i got it working on my ipad for beta 1 and 2 so i think beta 3 is the same

Um, yes, they did.

I'm very curious as to why I don't see them on my phone. Do you have an iPhone 4, or another model?

You failed to answer the question. I did not need confirmation for the first two betas, which i also installed via this method... but confirmation on today's release. Don't assume it will work...

I am gonna update my ipad tonight...I am a developer too...but I was just waiting till the release..but I have too many apps and I need the folders.

If this beta 3 is stable I am game...

here's the new sounds, on iphone 4.

They suck but there's lots of them

I agree, I didn't think something could suck and blow at the same time but these 'tunes' are it

Updating now! Glad to hear AirVideo works again

Newb question. Is there a way to update the OS without doing a full restore then resync?

 

[GravityEyes]

Um, yes, they did.

Ok, a matter of semantics... they do 'require' you are a registered developer, however, one could upgrade to the beta without being registered. Better?

You can now hide the gray sidebar icons in iTunes. You can't change the color, though.

 

[glenncal]

The new SMS sounds are iPhone 4 only, but perhaps that will change before the official release.

FWIW, beta 2 was stable enough (for me) for day to day use... A few issues here & there but nothing to make me give up folders

Apologies, Im a iPhone developer. For us you needed to have UDID registered to install. Very odd that iPad developers (or not) didn't need any type of registration verification.

Ipad Upgrade

I have just upgraded my Ipad from 3.2.2 to 4.2. So far I am liking what I see nice job apple. For being a beta build its snappy and quite honestly so far behaves nicer then 3.2.2 at least from my perspective.

Great job

Same here. I had a few bugs with beta1 that were fixed in beta2. I've hardly encountered any bugs with beta2. Definitely not worth giving up app-switching and folders, among other features.

And yes, I installed the first 2 betas with no developer account, just option-updated. Very simple and trouble-free.

When I upgraded from beta 1 to beta 2, I just used option+update and selected the .ipsw and it installed and synced just fine. I haven't tried it with beta 3. no restoring needed...
