Apple Releases iPhone OS 3.0

Good grief Apple, fix your iPhone activation server already! :mad:

I can download 2.4 GB of data from your servers in minutes, and you can't do a simple activation?!?

Chalky, I just got my iPhone to update with the error -9807. The answer is posted here in MacRumors

You simply have to log into your guest account on your computer (or create another user) to activate and then go back to your main account. You can read the above link for details. I used the guest account and it worked.
 
finally past activation (in belgium)

After clicking at least 30 times on update i finally past the activation server error. It took me 45 minutes clicking.

So for all people, keep trying !

Good luck !

A few pages back in this thread, someone said he updated his 3G and he has the %s.
I updated my 2G last week and I don't have them.. I also don't have YouTube and My Location doesn't work.
 
Bt

Trying to pair with my PC via blutooth. Vista Can't find the drivers... any ideas?
Dose any one know if any bluetooth apps are in the works that will let you send photo's and contact details ect??

I stopped the backup it was taking to long.. I synced the notes but have no idea where they are synced?

I don't know why I would need push on Tap Tap Revenge 2. Didn't even check it out, but it has push. And tell me again why AIM wouldn't? Goodness...
 
This is why Apple should've released this thing at midnight not when the entire planet would be aware and pushing that update button at the same time!. You'd think they'd have learnt from their mistake with 2.0 but noooooo
 
What's up with this nonsense of the activation server not being available?? Arrghh, I can't update my phone, dammit!!

Ooops, finally got it to work, pardon my whining :)
 
'Shake to Shuffle' is a horribly lame idea, hopefully it can be disabled.

They also have 'Shake to Undo'?? Jesus Apple, shaking is not a desirable input method.
How many times is something you did going to disappear without you even knowing due to the phone being moved around?
 
Screwed, Blued and Tattooed

Great, I don't get off work for two more hours. Servers should be nice and constipated by then. That is unless they have caught on fire and started more California wildfires! I agree with the others, release by region or just go at midnight and spreadout the downloads for those of us who can't stay awake after 10:00pm :)

I am on T-mobile in US, and I had the same issue.

After a bit of research, you have to actually turn on MMS first. To do this go to:
Settings -> Messages. But Lo! Turning on MMS was not there!

After fiddling, I discovered that if I entered the MMS apn, proxy, etc details in the Settings->General->Cellular Network-> MMS settings, and restarting, I had the option of MMS. Just tested by sending to myself -> works fine!

Unfortunately that's not an option on my iphone for some reason...
 
Multiple Alert reminders

Any way to setup multiple alert reminders in the Calendar?

Loving that I can now invite people to meeting from the phone.
 
After 4:30 hours I finally got thru.

Been trying to update since it came out at 1PM EST. Finally got thru now at 5:29PM EST. Its in the process of updating now, I'll update this note when its finished.

Update: Updating process completed and I'm now going thru the initial backup. Its been going for about 45 minutes now. My guess is its backing up a lot more than previous OS's used to, maybe even in-app data.

That stuff is controlled by an ipcc file bundled with the update that is carrier-specific. Supposedly (I don't know how to do it myself) you can change the ipcc file for AT&T with one for O2 (for example) and magically those options appear and work. My understanding is there is nothing technically stopping those functions from working on AT&T's network (seeing as how other phones can do it). Two reasons for this come to mind; first, for tethering, AT&T hasn't figured out how much they want to rape customers for the service or whether their network can handle it. Secondly, for the MMS, I think they need a way of knowing if your phone has iPhone OS 2.2 or 3.0 installed so that if someone sends you an MMS it can be sent either directly as a regular MMS or translated into the viewmymessage bs.

So basically us AT&T saps will need another update to activate the camera icon and the internet tethering option at that point, correct? I don't know how else it can remotely just start working like that otherwise.
 
I would have thought developers would release updates in time for 3.0, but all I got for Push is TTR.

You can it turn off, yes.
 
I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. The update worked perfectly on my 3G and took right around twenty minutes.
