Apple Releases iPhone OS 3.0

Shagrat said:
finally got download to start, but only by going back to my soon to be de-commissioned White book, as the update steadfastly refused to download to my new MBP 13".

Not good.

Hmm... After upgrading to 3.0, my phone signal is significantly worse.

AT&T 3G in our area was not that great to begin with, but now my call outs fail most of the time. Also, I'm getting precisely zero calls at home. How is your phone signal experience in US?

Yeah, it looks like 3G signal is back to the "consider yourself lucky if you get one bar" issue we had with, err, I *think* it was 2.0.0 and maybe a couple more after that.

Any ideas as to where i complain to to get this fixed? Apple have taken my money, and now obviously i'm not going to be able to download this, so has anybody any ideas?

I'm guessing that the download is more than 0.4KB, right?
Click to expand...

That's supposed to happen, it's the fact that a second download doesn't start that isn't right. The 0.4KB file is the one that iTunes downloads and registers as the purchase. This file, once downloaded, then directs iTunes to the actual update on Apple's server, which should then appear as a ~250MB (give or take depending on device) download underneath the 0.4KB file.
 
Got the pip

Hugely disappointed. After downloading, the two features I was most looking forward to are not working. The tilt function is kaput (I know people will say I must have dropped the phone etc, etc but I used the function to look at a pic just minutes before updating) which means no landscape keyboard and the Bluetooth is not "discovering" my Apple iBook G4, so no tethering either I suppose. Sigh
 
Love 3.0, got tethering working flawlessly, now I have no need whatsoever to jailbreak my phone!

:apple:

Typing this from my Dell Mini 9 running 10.5.7 tethered to my iPhone! :D
 
iTunes, App Store & uTube V.V.V. slow to load!

Hi all,

I installed 3.0 on my 3G last night without any problems, however I have since noticed that it takes forever to load the App Store, and it takes even longer to load the iTunes app. Sometimes the iPhone goes to sleep before the stores have loaded.

I have also noticed that the uTube app isn't the quickest of the mark!

Anybody else have these issues?
 
Even though I feel that most of these updates should've been in the more earlier versions of the iPod Touch/iPhone software, I'm very content with 3.0.
Update also worked flawlessly this time.

Cheers! 
 
Rotating video

Hi

Am I the only one who does not like auto rotation of iPod playing video? When I turn my iphone upside down the video rotates. This did not happen with 2.x firmware. Which means you can not watch movies while you are laying. There should be switch to turn this off.

YEP, Itunes and AppStore take forever to load...
 
Tethering works like a charm. So does MMS. Thanks TeliaSonera!

Americans would certainly benefit from more competition on the telecommunications front... AT&T gets away with murder simply because there's nothing there to keep them on their toes.
 
Just fabulous. Discovered that I can get landscape mode - when I turn the Iphone over! Maybe the bluetooth will work if blow kisses at the touch screen. Sigh
 
Jesus! Just read this entire thread! Maybe I should reconsider my life and find something more useful to spend my time on...

Anyway, still waiting for the Dev-Team...
 
ok... i am trying again to reinstall 3.0 ... first time.. i plugged off the usb cable after 40 mins.. thinking.. it is hung... now it is restoring the software... fingures crossed... 15 mins are done..

Still trying to get to the sever (-9807) error, been trying over 9 hours, is this still a problem for people?
Click to expand...

Not sure if you're still having problems but the fix for this specific error was posted several pages back (several hours ago). Simply log into a second account (or guest account) on your mac and activate your phone through iTunes. After activation is cleared, return to your main mac account and connect to iTunes to sync as usual.
 
os 3.0

I am very happy with the update, about time too.

My only gripe is that you cant forward texts!!

Are they planing to issue a new release to activate this basic function?

That is what copy and paste is for.

Just copy the message to a blank sms message.

EDIT:
Just found that there is actually a specific forward function.
When you are in a conversation, press edit and then select the text you would like to forward.
Then press forward down the bottom (next to delete).
 
Well, having spent a day using and testing 3.0 I must say that I'm very impressed. Just waiting for the dev team now to release the jailbreak.

Does anyone know if stereo Bluetooth or MMS will ever be avaliable to us 2g owners once the jailbreak has been released?

It didn't run a full backup before the software update?
Click to expand...

Nope, apparently not. I thought so to but when it was done it was cleaned out and could not do one thing about it. :eek:

I just had enough from Apple the phone company. I'm going to give the idiot-phone one more chance but I sure do miss my SE.
