Apple Releases iPhone OS 3.1.3: Addresses iPhone 3GS Battery Level Accuracy, App Launching Issues

[toolbox]

WARNING FOR JAILBREAK USERS! Do not update.

Snap, i just bought one and updated it. LoL Ah well. Guess i gotta wait.

What will happen if i really continue the update ?

It will maybe knock out your current settings and not allow you to jailbreake it again.

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

Mine is doing this too.

Ever since the update my battery life is about half (3G iPhone). Used to get through a day with about 40% remaining. Now have to recharge by noon. Nothing else has changed.

Time to revert....

that has been there since they introduced "live updating" for smart playlists back in 3.1 i think. the solution is to add the following rule to those smart playlists in iTunes:
Playlist > is > Music

that reverts the playlists back to the way they behaved before. This works for Recently Added, Recently Played, etc.

Nice try, but I used to have a playlist that included all my latest podcasts as well as music additions in one handy self-updating playlist. Now I have to check and uncheck 'live updating' before I plug in my iphone each time. It really does suck. C'mon Apple. You broke it now you fix it. That's the deal!

Was very happy this rolled around! Previously my battery levels were all over the place. I'd leave my iPod Touch in the dock overnight, with my computer off, and in the morning it would be flat. All seems back to normal now!

Would be nice to have a battery utility showing the cycle count.

..

anyone finding that battery life decreases even faster after the update?

My 3GS crashes more often now, rather annoying it has to be said

Tethering works with swedish operator Tele2 (not an official operator) after the update. Didn't work with 3.1.2.

How did you get it to work? I noticed the network settings and have entered an APN but I do not understand how to connect it via the USB cable.

Solved. After resetting the network connections the dialog to choose USB or Bluetouth suddenly appeared. Great. Tethering works with Tele2 Sweden. Factory unlocked phone.

Hi,

updated to 3.1.3 and have everything working but the Voicemail button. It worked before. This is on a factory unlocked phone and I'm on Tele2 in Sweden. Any hints?

3.1.3 made my phone's battery percentage accuracy worse. Over 15 minutes of usage and it still says 100%.

My iPhone 3GS's battery has always lasted me all day with room to spare. Ever since this update, it seems as if my battery is draining 50% faster.

It's almost 3pm here and my battery is at 19% and all I've done is listened to music for about 2 hours or so, sent about 5 text messages and read a few emails. I took it off the charger at 7:15am this morning and it was 100% charged.

I have two email accounts (Gmail) using Push. I have my brightness set at 25%. I have 3G turned on, WiFi and Bluetooth turned off.

This is crazy, but this is the first time I've ever had to charge my iPhone 3GS at work since I bought it the day it came out.
