Apple and AT&T Preparing for iPhone 3.0 Launch

Jeremy08 said:
Don't know if any of you are familiar, but i have a 1500 text for 8.99 plan i found on another forum on this website. It is a text plan, for fan discount members. I am wondering if I will get free mms or if I will have to change my text plan? Any ideas?

I'm a FAN member but I don't have access to that plan, can you point me in the right direction pls?

What did you expect?

Anyway I've had 3.0 since last week and it's frustrated me incredibly. At random times 20% of the left side of my screen will not respond to touch. Meaning I had to change my passwords for apps I could not log into with a landscape keyboard because I could type a "1". (I realized after I can copy and paste a 1 in). I'll be restoring with the firmware apple officially releases and if that doesn't work I'll take my phone in for a replacement. This is bull!

This may have already been asked, but I haven't run across it.

Will the 3G iPhone do voice dialing with the new firmware?
Click to expand...

I believe not. They may have built it specifically for the capabilities of the new CPU? It's listed in the 3GS pages, but not in the OS 3.0 pages.

(There are some limited voice dialer apps for 3G though.)
 
This is really funny. People can't wait 2 days for the Apple launch of 3.0. I will gladly wait a couple of months before thinking about putting 3.0 on my iPhone. My sincere thanks to all the beta testers out there.

Can anyone please post a link to 3.0 download for 3G?
Click to expand...
Sure let me first download it, patch it with some malware and then I will post a link to the patched version for ya! ;)

Seriously wait a couple of days for the official release and for it to show up directly from Apple.
 
For those asking how much MMS will be, O2 have said the following...

"You can use your text bundle to send picture messages in the UK and abroad. One picture message equals four normal texts, or if you've got no bundle texts left, they cost 24.47p a message (21.28p excluding VAT)."

Quick question for those who have updated-- does the update wipe your phone, requiring you to re-sync all the data?

The only computer I have access to right now isn't my "sync" computer with all my music, apps, etc... If that data will go away I'm going to hold off on installing as I can't recover it at this moment.

Thanks!

I don't know--probably not a full wipe I'd guess--but I'd STILL hold off. It's a big update, and a bigger change than your phone goes through normally. You never know what MIGHT happen, so I'd play it safe.

I plan to back up my phone as usual before the update, AND copy the pre-3.0 the backup someplace for safekeeping. It's in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, FYI. (Otherwise the next 3.0 backup will overwrite it and I'll have no fallback if some important app gets messed up by 3.0. Or if the backup itself does.)

I just completed mine this morning and everything is still there, all previous text messages, 7 unread emails, it's all there.

The whole process took about 15-20 minutes I believe.

Did you still have your music and all your applications?
 
Anyone else notice the price differential on the 3G model on that ATT link? 499 vs 299 now? Bummer, man.

I take it that it will not be released til June 18th in Australia, NZ and east Asia... that's one disadvantage of being ahead of the rest of the world :rolleyes:

I wonder what time on the 17th? I bet the ops people in charge of their download servers are already bricking themselves over the traffic.

9am - release
9.01am - update servers are dying

So wait, the 3G-S and 3G are not going to be using the same firmware? :confused: So, for those of us with an iPhone3G, we cannot download OS 3.0 ? :confused:

And AT&T has posted that tethering will be available "later this summer" ?
Click to expand...

you're just getting confused. there are five different "versions" of 3.0. a different one for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, original iPhone, iPod Touch 2G, and iPod Touch 1G. what it's saying is that you can't install the iPhone 3GS version of 3.0 on the iPhone 3G, you have to install the iPhone 3G version of 3.0. both the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 3G will get tethering and MSS later this summer
 
Find my iPhone isn't working for me.

Am running the iPhone 3.0 GM on a 3G. Restored my 3G to the GM perfectly, runs great.

I do have a Mobile Me account. I did restore my info from a backup, not sure if that's the issue...

...but when I log in to my MobileMe account online (Find My iPhone is turned ON on my 3G, just checked), I'm told "No devices registered."

Huh?

I do have Location Services on, full 5 bars of AT&T 3G where I'm sitting...have tried at home and at work, and I can't find a screen where I can actually register my device with MM.

Maybe because I'm not a "developer" I can't register my 3G until the "official" release day of June 17th?

Anyone?
 
Fan Member as well

Im a Fan Member too and I dont seem to have access to this text plan either. Can someone point me in the right direction as well please?
 
Any ideas as to what time it might be out on Wednesday? The servers are going to be hammered to get the download

Turn it on in the iPhone itself. It should be listed under your mobile me setting on the phone.
 
Very curious

Out of curiosity how many members have jailbroken iphones?
I myself have one , because of applications like Cycorder/qik to name a few good ones that I use on a regular basis. I guess the real question is , if you have a jailbroken iphone are you going to wait until there is a jailbreak for 3.0 software?

I personally am going to wait, because I do love using the features of cycorder/qik and pdanet (which allows tethering with the iphone)

I also already have the software to use landscape keyboard/copy,paste/bluetooth file transfer (not ad2p)
all via Cydia

I guess I really want to know who has a jailbroken iphone that is going to wait or is going to upgrade

Did that. It's set to on. Still the "No Devices Registered" on my MobileMe homepage. Location Services still on. Nothin'.

Odd, it works jsut fine for me (on my iPhone1,1).
Le Big Mac said:
I understand that. The point is that in addition to the $30 data plan one needs to sign up for text plan to get MMS.
Click to expand...

Oh, yeah that is the case, it happens to be the case in all 3G/3GS iPhone plans. You need the text plan to get text as well.
