Apple Addresses iPhone Signal Strength Display in iOS 4.0.1, iPad Wi-Fi in iOS 3.2.1

[dr.S]

Downloading now ..... only a signal strength formula fix

Ok never first..

Technically impossible to be first (unless you are a MacRumors God[ess]) since the first forum post is #2, the news item being, as it should be, number 1.

 

[MisterDisney]

Probably minor fixes with software. The type of things that most users wouldn't even notice, but maybe devs would.

its there!

I know it's an iPhone forum but looks like the ipad got an update too!

 

[born4sky]

anyone with results on proximity sensor?

 

[Master Chief]

Spot one once again...

Here

And I'm out of town for 4 days.

Awesome, it's about time I get to see 5 bars while not being able to make a call.

 

[pitt1717]

yep, 3g ipad has to get it's bars updated too

 

[mctrees02]

This better not be a software hoax to indicate more bars then there really is...

me thinks that is EXACTLY what it is. A software adjustment can't fix a hardware problem.

 

[chrisjarmstrong]

Downloading right now.... Let's see what happens to my 5 bar signal after the update!

I'm shocked this isn't BREAKING NEWS on cnn.com and the like

 

[jaysquires]

Im in the UK mine has finished downloading and is now installing

I love iOS4 in general, but I've been waiting for this update to fix the bad wifi and other problems on my iPod touch, and it finally comes out and it's just for iPhones? What's the deal?!

Aaaaaaaand it's taking forever to download...

 

[Steviejobz]

upgrading now. Looking forward to lesser, but taller bars in more areas

 

[jonhcox]

I'm guessing this update isn't addressing the fact that the OS is so unnervingly slow on the 3G?

The damn phone has crashed 6 times since the update and that is 6 times more than it did over the last 2 years. Apps are crashing. Overall, just really, really sloooooow. Good thing I just ordered an EVO. I'll use this as an iPod. Hell, even iTunes crashed yesterday. That's never happened before.

No, the number of bars shown will be reduced to comply with reality. The iPhone 4 has been showing too many bars.

Thanks for the tip!

My Iphone 3G is still slow, come one Apple get your game up

And my 10 year old Pentium III Gateway 2000 is slow. What's the surprise?

You may have to wait even longer. I think Apple is more concerned about the iPhone 4 right now and making sure it doesn't get a bad rap. Well, anymore than it has right now.

Press conference announcement:

"We have officially discovered how to permanently prevent Jailbreaking, and all of you just downloaded it yesterday. Suckers. Enjoy the reception."

 

[alexph]

Bl***y big download

 

[macus3r]

does anyone know what directory iTunes downloads all these update files into? I want to see if it's overwriting the previous D/L, or if i have a ton of these files sitting in a folder somewhere? if so, gotta delete that crap...

i mean, i have a 180gbs left on my brand new, sweet 2010 17" MacBook Pro, but really... you never know when you're gonna need the space
