Did everyone who bought a 3G iPhone have the 2.0 (SA345) firmware? If so did you keep this or did you all restore to the 347?


Cheers
 
Mine came with 5A345 and I haven't bothered changing it, haven't had any problems of note.
 
Yeah I haven't bothered changing it either. I will wait for a newer update from Apple.
 
guys, how do i find out which firmware i have? and how do i get the new one > restore?

Go into settings, general, then About.

Yes, restore it. Restoring will erase everything.

I restored mine day one before i even synced it.

Nice one. This version has a glitch on the general>international>keyboard pane.
 
Mine was lagging in a few places the last few days, so I went to do a restore and, sure enough, iTunes upgraded me (hadn't even bothered to check the firmware version before). The file iTunes downloaded was 225MB, and told, the process took about 45 minutes (restore + resync).

It seems smoother now, but I haven't played with it enough since the restore to know for sure that it did anything.
 
You mean 5A345. S != 5
Code:
#!/bin/bash
model='SA345'
if [ $model = 'SA345' ]
then
    echo 'OP made n00b mistake'
fi

Just kidding the OP of course. I got mine with the 5A345 as well but restored to 5A347. Haven't really noticed any changes. 347 is just a slow and buggy as 345. I am really looking forward to 2.0.1.
 
I did a restore and it updated to the 347 firmware. I would suggest everyone do this. I surprised that it doesn't automatically do it when you plug your phone instead of having to do a restore. Weird......
 
347 is nice but I get a nice echo on my BT on about 85% of my calls....


345 didn't have this echo.
 
I take this back....

I just made a call using the iPhone without bluetooth and I had the same echo..... So I guess it's not a BT problem.

Because its still the same version number, 2.0 - its only the build that's changed. Apple obviously don't think it was much different to 5A345 to be released as a new version.
