Anyone else's iPod Touch get renamed back to: iPod touch?
First time that's ever happened to me.

Besides paying for it?
If your carrier doesn't support it, yes. Reds0w was just updated to activate it while jailbreaking. So a pretty convenient all in one.
Great news for users of factory unlocked iPhones. This update reenables tethering. I am actually writing this post from my MBP which is connected to a factory unlocked iPhone 3G (carrier is o2-Germany) using USB-Tethering! Thought some of you might find this interesting! I love it!
I have a factory unlocked iPhone and I had tethering since 3.0. That has to do with your carrier, not just the OS.
I'm starting to wonder if 3.1.2 will be the last version of the iPhone OS that can be jailbroken, even with the enormous talents of the Dev Team and Hotz.

That is VERY interesting. I'll need to post about this on an NZ forum and get some non-Vodafone users to try it
OK, so *still* no fix for that extremely annoying bug that have many peoples iPod Touch playing random music or podcasts when the device "sleeps" or on wake-up when the Apple Headphones happens to be connected... Thanks Apple. Great work. Maybe you should check your forums to see what people are really ****** off about.
Yes.
IMO, jailbreaking is well worth it anyway, although I know some here will dispute that.

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.
Anybody else still have that ANNOYING bug that gives you a normal keyboard when entering a phone number to text to instead of the numerical keypad???
Uhhh...
Is this in jest?
When you are composing an SMS/MMS and you are in the To: line, it will use the alphanumeric/QWERTY keyboard, not the number/phonepad keyboard. This is normal, and it's supposed to be this way. It's so that you can type in the NAME of a contact in your contacts database to look them up instantly, instead of needing to know their phone number off the top of your head or force you to scroll through all of your contacts.
Not a bug.

Not really. It became an issue with iTunes 9, which was released in October, I think. Feels longer though if you face the issue. There are some workable solutions.
Temp solution for Smart Playlists not syncing in Iphone/iPod Touch
thanks a lot psywzrd, it worked a treat.
But really why do we have to add this for syncing to work?? It has been waaaaay too long and I remember using my smart playlists without a problem before.
In any case, adding: "playlist is music" like you suggested worked.
Rock on

What was the problem with the battery levels? Were they showing too full or too empty? Or, will this add hours to my phone?

Hopefully this fixes it!
That may have started with MMS to allow you to send a message to an email address. If you turn off MMS and reboot it will come back.

yes!!! I so hope this is true!!! will try asap.
(Funlocked Italy 3GS, o2 Germany (dataflat for 5
(reduced speed after 200MB (but in reality not happening)))) THIS FIXED IT! Thank you psywzrd. Was getting really annoying having to toggle 'live update' every time I wanted to update my phone.
edit: I wonder if any ruleless playlist will end up garbled if live updating is enabled. Maybe I could add any rule and not specifically 'playlist is music' and it would work. Not going to try since it's working now, though!
Sorry but the list "recently played" on your iTunes resembles the machine where your iTunes is installed on. Every device has its own list of recently played songs, so your iPhone has one and for example your girlfriends iPod also. Even if you synch all those devices with only one iTunes then they keep their own recently played lists. So actually, it is a bug that iTunes offers synching for that list as that list does really exist but is very dynamic and device dependent. (Actually its like /proc on a Mac, there is nothing there like a file but you can read from it
because those are actually pipes undercover )So sorry to say that, but you might want to look into creating another smart play list best matching your preferences.
It's possible that Apple just decided to enable Internet Tethering support by default for non-official carriers that Apple doesn't distribute carrier bundles for. But that doesn't mean, for those just tuning in, that you'll be able to tether using ANY provider on an officially-unlocked phone...the OS comes with the complete list of carrier bundles, and I'm sure that if you were to, say, put an AT&T SIM card in an officially-unlocked iPhone and use it on AT&T in the States, the phone software would consult the AT&T carrier bundle, see that it does not allow for tethering, and block its use, just as if you had an AT&T-SIM-locked iPhone purchased from AT&T.

It did for me, and several other users of the "non Apple approved" carrier o2 in Germany.
