3.1 Beta 2 is out now

[Ronnoco]

Maybe I shall do that 🙂 thanks

That looks like the zoom feature is enabled. Weird. I saw some iPhones in the Apple Store like that and one of the employees said it's just kids enabling the zoom feature. Weird bug. I'm sorry for your trouble and I hope your return goes smoothly. Cheers.

Well, that would be the idea of a beta test. 🙄

As stated above, if these builds were ready for day to day use on production phones they wouldn't be in beta. I think that with gmail etc. having beta slapped all over them for so long people have forgotten what it really means...

p.s. good luck making phone calls on your new Mini. 😀

pretty tough sittin behind your keyboard. Pipe down squirt.

Cute. How old are you Georgie?

Rather than trying to belittle or insult me perhaps you should take a couple minutes to peruse the history of the thread so you don't make yourself look stupid by dropping random comments like the one I commented on.

If it were the zoom function, the rest of the screen would have scaled proportionately, so no - it isn't.

As I mentioned, if you'd have taken the time to read slowly and thoroughly, the majority of these bugs ALSO happen on 3.0 final (3GS comes with it). I can make calls on the Mac using Skype, VOIPCHEAP, and Sipgate, ALL Mac compatible. Out and about, I can use my old Nokia, so I'm fine 😀 I just begrudge paying this amount for a half-working iPhone. The best thing about it is the camera - NO doubt, and I don't NEED one, I just liked the idea of trying it out to see what all the fuss was about. At the end of the day, it's just another overpriced luxury mobile device that I can live without - a computer is slightly more useful tbh.

How do you activate/deactivate the zoom functionality?

"Great" would have sufficed - are you filled with awe?. LOL.

Much Better Battery after 3.1 update

Getting much better life out of the battery since upgrade.

Yeah, I noticed this also.

Im getting much better batter as well (sorry, 3g so no battery percentage)

I do not see the accessibility option in my settings under general??? I am on the 3G not the 3Gs... Any ideas?

i dont think the 3g has the accessibility option.

Ah, 3G does not have that option within. I'm not quite sure that's hardware related, but I guess it may have something to do with the graphics processor.

New feature:
You can now change and disable pin code.

That is not a new feature - it was there in 3.0 from the start

I just updated to beta 2, and now, between the "AT&T" logo and the Wifi bars, i have an "M-CELL" logo, anyone else? screenshot attached

I assume this has something to do with the upcoming Micro Cell, to boost ATT reception via wifi? but its not out yet.... Anyone?

Thanks!

i have the exact same thing. no clue why it's there.

Any idea why I do not have the accessibility tab in 3.1b2? 😕

I very much doubt these are widespread issues on 3.0 final, or posts about it would be all over here (which they aren't).

If your on a 3G - it's not going to be there. It's a 3GS only thing. If you have a 3GS and it's still not there, bug.

It's "you're" not "your".

Oh no no, unfortunately there is no Apple-native way to zoom on the camera, although with a 3.2MP camera even a slight zoom would be nice. The Accessibility gives the functionality to the actual phone (i.e. zoom in on actual screens that are hard to read, or make the text white on black). It's great for those with disabilities, but for the most part, they won't get any use from the majority of iPhone users in my opinion.

Agreed, not very useful for me, but thanks for clearing that up for me!

I did not know that. Oh well. Thanks!

I wonder if Radtech's Ice Creme would take of the coating... hmm..

Can you buy iPhone 3GS parts on ebay yet? Just buy an oleophobic glass replacement on ebay for a few bucks and see if you can get it to rub off with something.

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

I dont suppose 3.1 fixes the high pitched whining noise that comes out of the 3GS everytime it makes a sound?

I see what I did there... I missed an "f" in the word "off". I didn't use "of" because I didn't know how to properly use the word "off". Mine was a typo... yours was misunderstanding how to use the english language.
