Apple Releases iOS 4.3.1

With the most likely combined CDMA/GSM iPhone 5 the iPhone 4 on Verizon is going to be Apples red headed stepchild.Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting.

Good question! I think it might have something to do with the fast changing nature of the development tools and libraries. Apples input would be nice but I doubt that will ever happen officially. I would like to see them move more of iOS's support apps to app store simply to get the smaller downloads. 600 MB isn't that bad compared to the 4+GB of XCode and XCode is crap.

I wouldn't expect a 'full changelog' from Apple given it isn't something that they really do - to the disappointment of many unfortunately.

I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

This is almost the exact post I wrote yesterday on the last 4.3 update thread. It is driving ne nuts. And I'm sure I was able to distinguish between texts and emails before. I'm filing it under bug too.
Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. I unlocked the features on my iPad 2 with XCODE 3 and will NOT give them up. I am anti-home button. LOL.
It is a different issue. That relates to repeating the tone after a couple of minutes if the user hasn't read the message. The "bug" we are referring to is that the SMS vibrate alert has gone from a continuous pulse to a "double-click" style. It is a positive for some, but for me it's a negative. Seems to be louder, and more obtrusive. Hard to describe.

Battery drain still occurring at the same alarming rate (yes, Ping is switched off).
All I am doing is very light web browsing and perhaps 2 or 3 minutes of Twitter use, per hour.

Not seeing any battery drain here yet. 2.5 hours since I updated and the iPhone 4 is still advertising 100% battery. Granted I haven't used it much.
So its better than the previous version for battery life?
God ****ing damn it.....update keeps failing right in the last few minutes. Of course iTunes won't let me revert to the last firmware that worked, it will only let me try to update and restore. Seriously, what the ****? If it didn't work the last 3 times, what makes you think it'll work now?
app store caching
Does anyone know if they resolved the issue of updates 'caching' on the App Store...i.e still showing the number of updates available badge even though they have been downloaded and installed???

Correct , that building is run entirely on batteries, but you can only work in it for a maximum of 10 hours
It's right across from the Droid building where they only work 3 hours. That's why that group has a hard time catching up in OS development.
Ouch.
I get 36 hours on my Droid X without any issues...
Bricked!
I just downloaded the update, it told me something failed and I need to restore my iPhone. I am on try 3 and it is still failing every time it tries to restore. It's giving me error code 1013. I would stay away from this update for at least a day or two until others give feedback. It doesn't seem to be that critical of an update anyways.

I started to see problems with battery after 4.3 update. done a bit of research, ping trick didn't work for me. but restart did. the truth is that i'm not running 20 apps as i used to and cut down to roughly half.
but this update seems to be ok with battery so far. been on 62% for last 3 hours, been browsing and tweeting a bit.

if you only use it for phone calls and text then it's no problem but if you play a game or surf the web then it may get problematic to achieve a battery life that long
I'm just glad they are not trying to run this on the 3G. I can barely keep the phone running as it is. I wish they would come out with a throwback OS for the older phones. Something to stop the constant freezing.
Just a few more months, then maybe an Iphone 5 takes away my pain.
You guys do realize that your 3G is realistically 4 years old, right? It used the same processor, screen, graphics and RAM as the very first iPhone. They just added the 3G/aGPS chip to make it a 3G device. Four years is an eternity in cell phones.
It's not bricked. You've been using TinyUmbrella, so it didn't allow the baseband to get updated. Fix your hosts file and it will be fine.
Not at all. I surf, call, text and game - not 3D games but Angry Birds (naturally). 24 hours easily, 36 on lighter days.
What helps is the off-peak synching - you can set it to stay online during certain times and not others, so between 12am and 6am it only checks for email every 2 hours, the data connection shuts off otherwise. That helps save a chunk of battery power.
