If this helps anyone out great.

I updated to 3.1.3 and after i could not connect to my wireless connection which is about 3 metres from my desk. I turned the phone off and back on and the wireless connection work again.......weird!!
 
Car Interface Fixed

It seems like this update fixed my issue plugging my iPhone into our car's USB port. I no longer get the error message saying the accessory is not compatible. It also looks like it charges now. Nice surprise!
 
My question is...

All that time waiting... for this? I tried it out last night and it's no better than 3.1.2. How lame.

Apple needs to figure out how to make the updates smaller, then enable OTA updating. That way people don't have to plug into a computer to get the updates. I mean these devices shouldn't require a computer to get the latest critical security fixes.

On my 3GS the update was 291MB...

None of Apple's iPhone updates have ever been "updates". They include the entire OS in every update. It essentially overwrites all of the OS files again.
 
Has anyone else been finding that they're phone freezes on unlock?

or some general slow performance when scrolling between pages and opening up apps?

Maybe i should try the update again?

PTP
 
Anyone having update issues besides me?

My phone updated and now no longer loads any apps except the core Apple ones. Everything just tries to load a view and then crashes.

True. In such a locked down OS, shouldn't be necessary. The idea that you are tied to iTunes for even carrier updates is silly as well.

I've had that happen before.

All it takes is a resync. If no third party apps load then it's just the authorization to run them. A quick Sync fixed things. I found that solution on the apple discussion boards and it worked for me.

Reboot the phone. Sync with iTunes again.

Oh, and don't panic.
 
No issues here. India - Airtel. Teethering still ON and rest remains. Snappy i guess due to restore. Am very :D sucker for updates.

EDIT: Not JB or Unlocked 3G and currently on teethered post.
 
My 3G is unlocked but still on O2. When I add the profile, it gets rid of the tethering option. I'm not sure if the profiles on benm have been updated yet for UK

Use the o2 vertigo profile, which is the second profile under UK, and delete any other profiles. The tethering option remains, however when I do try and activate it, it redirects me to the o2 website. Though my phone is LOCKED to o2, so this maybe the problem. Would be good if someone whose iphone is unlocked could try it and let me know. At least then ill know it only works on unlocked iphones.
 
Uhh...huh. Well, I stand corrected, by the evidence of your screenshot.

Interestingly, though, I cannot reproduce this. I tried turning MMS Messaging off, and I still had a QWERTY keypad for the To: line. So I rebooted the phone. Still QWERTYfied.

I still prefer QWERTY myself so I can type in contact names, so no worries there, but interesting nonetheless.

Previous to Apple adding MMS it always was a numerical keypad and they had a bug with it at one point before, so that is why I assumed it was a bug again. I failed to make the connection between that and adding MMS where you might want to send it to an email address or something. So that makes sense.

P.S. I am an iPhone developer, so I have had access to all the OS updates etc.
 
What about poor battery life?

This update sounds like it does nothing to address battery life issues that have been plaguing me on my 3GS since 3.1.1 update. My iphone consistently drains to 30-40% in a day with less than 2 hours usage. I have exchanged my phone and the problem seemed to go away for a about a day then returned. I hope they fix this. On the flip side of this, my wife has an older 3G that seems to last at least 3x longer than my newer 3GS and our devices are configured almost identically and we have many of the same programs.

Perhaps your problem is related to the data you are restoring to your phone? Wouldn't you think if the problem is with the software, nearly every 3GS owner would be experiencing less than 2 hours of use like you? I can assure you this is not the case.
 
Well..by some miracle, I finally got it to restore my iphone after honestly 10 tries, restarting Itunes, rebooting my laptop and doing all those troubleshooting things that Apple's website recommended. The buggiest piece of $%#$% OS that Apple ever release and first time my phone bricked. I even booked an appointment from the Apple Technical Support crew for a new phone, but now that my Iphone is working, will cancel that appointment. Honestly, Apple should debug there OS before releasing it. I'm sure other people yelled at CS reps, who are not at fault but the Apple programmers for not getting all the bugs out. Wish Apple could be like MS or something, that sends an error log for any problems to the Iphone OS and sends a patch to update to avoid this fiasco. Finally getting to my missed calls and messages...thanks alot Apple...

Edit: I have so many applications and song to restore. I'm sure the restoration will take many hours and I'll leave my laptop on..sigh.
 
If Live Updating is checked on a Smart Playlist in iTunes, the playlist on the iPhone bears no resemblance whatsoever to the one in iTunes.

I have a 'chart' playlist on my Mac (sorted by most played) which, on my iPhone, just has a bunch of completely random songs.

It's been like it for over a year I think.

Mrkgoo - am I right with my year-long estimate?

I've never noticed my smart playlists not working. HOWEVER, I do use complicated hierarchies of smart playlists, and there ARE problems if the playlists aren't all on the iPod/iPhone.
 
Tethering won't work with a factory-unlocked phone under 3.1.0-3.1.2 if you're not using an "Apple-approved" carrier. It sounds like 3.1.3 might resolve this issue.

My iPhone is factory unlocked from Australia and I'm using it in Portugal with Vodafone and tethering always worked, since 3.0. I haven't even updated to 3.1.3 and tethering works.
 
After updating I am witnessing Edge connectivity more often on my iPhone 3GS with 3G turned off. This would certainly be good news but could this be true or just a change in the user interface? Is anyone else seeing the same?
 
Hmm since update I get no warning of incoming SMSs and my network connection seems flakey. I get stuck with No Service when there is service and have to reboot to reconnect. I also cannot connect to Mobile me.

Doh
