well this was a rather pointless update. not only does my phone not find a 3G network to latch on to, it now has a fondness for telling me no reception. everything else remained the same.
if rumors are to be believed, how complicated is it to dial up the sensitivity on the 3G radio?!

Ok, I just wanted to be sure. Mine is super slow in backing up. Mine has been backing up for over 20 minutes and the status bar is only between the "n" and the "g" in the word "backing" just above it.
Some companies like to keep it a secret for some reason. Tivo is the same way with their software updates.
No changes for me that I can tell. On a side note I have noticed that I get more 3G bars when connected by USB to my Macbook Pro (3 bar).....when I disconnect it goes back down to 1 bar or Edge. Anyone else notice this?
yeah, i really hate to say but i agree. i really wish i could figure out what exactly Apple considers "important" on their things of list to-do. no one can figure it out.
i thought i was impressed by Bill Gates' cross examination by the Attorney General but i think Apple's vagueness is beginning to top that.
Your understanding is incorrect. Higher frequencies can penetrate dense objects better than lower frequencies, but they cannot travel as great a distance as lower frequencies.
Sadly, after the update my Safari is NOT snappier. Quite the opposite. It is completely frozen. Stuck on a login page, and there's no response to anything touchscreen. The Home button works to get me back to my home screen, but thats it. Every time I open safari it just goes back to that same login page, stuck, frozen.
No other discernible changes. Wha??

Wow, that was incredibly insightful. It looks like you've answered all of his questions and we can all power down our computers now that you're on the case!
SHIFTLife - Thanks for the reply.
I had to end up killing the iTunes process on my laptop. Luckily a friend had their HP laptop with them. I ran a restore with the 2.0.2 update on that and it brought the phone back.
Now doing contents restore from the backup I did on my PC just before the update. Uggh. Whether it is just my laptop or not, Apple should do better QA on their updates.
Thanks again.
NO!!!! Not again. I just updated to 2.0.2 and now I am back to where I was with 2.0.1, it kills my apps and Ipod media. Now I will have to go back and delete all the apps again and bring it back. This is such a PITA it isn't funny. I should have just stayed with 2.0.1. I don't think they fixed a damn thing.
Anyone know where the backups are kept in Itunes (in Windows) so I can restore to where I was before it tried to re-backup and mess up a perfectly good backup?

Sorry to read all the trouble 2.02 has caused people.
For me it has helped; Safari hasn't crashed yet and the contacts lag is virtually gone (mine was really bad, was 10 seconds whenever I switched groups). Haven't experienced the typing lag yet either.

No change here. 2-3 bars EDGE, and "Locate Me" had me in Boca Raton, FL, and I'm in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area...
heh - I just got home with a brand new 3g, locate me has me in New Jersey, I'm in Michigan. Tried with wifi on and off. Downloading update now.
2 3g's updated and backed up in under 50min. No issues at all. Not sure why so many have problems.
Mine downloaded in under 2 min and is installing as I write this. I will run some side by side test's with my wife's 2.0.1 3G when the update is complete.
Same here. Probably a combination internet issues or computer issues - more RAM and processor means faster backups and updates.
As a Mac user, I expect things to "just work." Releasing updates for the heck of it is not cool and I just don't think Apple does that kind of thing - at least I hope not.
Just stop the update. You can disable it by following these steps.
Yeah I feel bad with the bad luck everyone seems to having. As for the tests, I seem to have half a bar more 3G than my wife's. I will test dropped calls. Everything else seems to run the same speed as 2.0.1 phone.
I hope the fix is the 3G update.
I just got this on my phone ... and I must say, it seems pretty improved.
Typing seems much better (thank god), the contacts app doesn't seem to lag as bad (thank god again), SMS seems good and things generally feel a bit faster.
But, as with anything, I'll have to giv' 'er a go 'round the block befo' knowin' fo' sho'.

we need to pitch in and upgrade this fellow to 56k!
don't worry, the lag will be back.
Always back-up before installing a firmware update. Don't listen to people who say not to. I would have had to have done a lot of hunting, installing, typing when my iphone update stopped half way. Remember, this is an Apple iphone 2.0 firmware...treat it like you're holding plutonium and take every precaution.
