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

I wonder if 3.1 will fix the high pitched whining noise that everyone is going to use when 3.1 comes out to complain on this forum.
 
Wi-Fi Authentication working better (for my situation)

At work we have wi-fi that requires signing on using an intermediary web page (like Panera, Caribou Coffee, and other public wi-fi hot spots often do). Note that I am not talking about WEP or WPA authentication.

In 3.0 and 3.1b1 things improved because Apple added the new wi-fi authentication system, but I still had to enter the username/password every time I connected.

With 3.1b2 I'm happy to report that it now offers me the option of saving the credentials. Not sure how many others this might effect, but it makes me very happy. :)
 
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.

There. Fixed that for ya. ;-)
 
That's very rude - we ALL have quirks, and a slip of the mind/finger/tongue is easily done, but I suppose you never do that do you?!. Pedants... pffft!!

I used to spell "Whoa" as "Woah" until someone corrected me. Now I know how to spell it. I was just letting him know that he spelled it wrong. Maybe now he'll be more aware of it.

Just out of curiosity, if you had enabled Auto-fill in Safari in 3.1 b1, do you think that it might have still saved your information?

Actually, yes I am more aware of it now. Your shows possession. You're does not. Anyways, I am not sure what it is with the internet and people's latest fascination with correcting people using the words you and you're incorrectly. Seems it is the latest trend. Wonder when people will start correcting me when I use its instead of it's.

Also, Woah or Whoa is acceptable. It's actually 2 different sounding words. One long, one short.

Actually "Woah" is not a word. Look it up.

Woah is an internet word. Just because it's not in the dictionary doesn't mean it's not real. If you feel necessary to continue your word and grammar dictatorship, best to find another site for it. Pretty sure constant correction of others would not be wholly tolerated here.

A lot of words aren't words. If someone can say it and someone can define it and other can agree on that definition then it's a word.

I highly doubt "jagbag" is a word but I'm sure you can get away with calling someone one without Webster stopping past your house to criticize you.
 
I'm so glad this thread hasn't deviated from the topic
of Beta 2 release.

Is there any possibility of getting back on topic now?
 
It's sad how this thread is becoming a dictionary or how to spell thread.

Let's keep it on topic shall we? I'm kinda looking forward if Apple is gonna add AVRCP in the near future of their betas.
 
so... is anyone finding any more features in the new beta 2 that was not in the beta 1????? So far i only really noticed that my wifi has been much much better, and my maps gps is much faster and more accurate... Anyone find anything else that has not been mentioned already????
 
Just updated and had the 5.0 carrier file before updating. And now. I still have the 5.0 carrier file and mms still doesnt work. Any ideas?

I hate it how all of a sudden new iPhone software threads turn into "tethering and MMS workaround" threads.

Hardly anything discussing the minute details of actual features present in the new software like there used to be for the 2.x releases.

Yeah - get a phone that does MMS out of the box or wait. Otherwise, go read and post in the 100 billion other MMS ONLY threads.

Jeesh. I never seen so many people so NEEDY for outdated tech. It's pretty sad. :(

Just a heads up for TheSpaz:

I noticed that you typically use proper capitalization in your typing, but you twice typed eBay without a capital "B" in the post that I'm linking below. You might want to watch out for that in the future.

Thanks. I'll try to be more careful next time. Sometimes I forget that even though the logo looks like "ebaY" it should be typed "eBay". My bad.
