If you are running Beta 2, make sure you update your devices by midnight tonight or they will stop working.

"iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2 will expire Tuesday, July 28 at 12:00 am"
 
1 - SMM works elsewhere (Europe etc) - its an ATT thing.
2 - works that way on 3.1 for me
3 - never going to happen. Thats a 3GS feature only.

@#3 - It gives people more incentive to buy a 3GS if the 3G doesnt have it. Either that or the 3G hardware prob couldnt handle it? :confused:
 
How about if it just fixes the Nike+ issue that freezes the phone if the screen goes to sleep while doing a workout. That would be friggn wonderful
 
For those who have 3.1, any updates to the GMail mail handling? Messages being pushed?
 
I am thinking 3.1 will be out in September to give AT&T time to get MMS and tethering ready and to coincide with the new iPod Touch and its camera and mic. I also think the new iPod Touch will have a compass chip so it can utilize the Augmented Reality APIs baked into 3.1! :D
 
Number 3 isn't happening, you can forget it. But as a play on number 2, I would like to have the option to have text messages show up as a badge instead of a notification. It would also be nice to have the ability to tweak each system sound individually. In other words, I want the text message sound at one level, ringer at another and VM at another. Doubt it will happen though.....

AMEN to the customizable volume tweaks!!! I have wanted this for nearly two years. It's so annoying that everything is affected by the volume control. Ringer volume up, speaker volume has to go up too. WHY??? Asinine. :confused: Apple, make it happen.
 
In General -> Usage, there's now a meter for Tethering Data as well as Cellular Network Data.
 
That SUCKS !!! I am out of home and gone be back may be day after tomorrow and i wont be able to use my iPhone after midnight...

Is there anyway i can download it on pc and extract dmg file and then update it to iPhone 3GS..

you can use 7zip to extract it. i do it that way all the time and it works fine.
 
No data or details to support this, but I think this will be the final release before it goes public the first week of August. At least I hope that is what will happen.

MMS is ready, AT&T is just needing to unlock it. Tethering is just a matter of releasing details of how much money per month.

I update mine on a PC. I use Ultra ISO to extract the DMG file, its a free program if you just search for it.
 
Can anyone check if it supports the AVRCP Bluetooth profile? (Fast forward, rewind etc)
 
I hope this really takes off. I think it'd be cool if they used it for other things than finding subways, etc... Like maybe pointing it up and it telling you constellation names and stuff like that. Should be some interesting stuff coming our way.

I think that's one of the most exciting aspects of the technology - it's so new that we can't even imagine what uses developers are going to dream up for it. Same with the GPS apps that have come about in the past year - there have been quite a few uses that weren't immediately obvious to me when it was first made available.
 
New Feature in iPhone OS 3.1: Failover support for HTTP live streaming
New Enhancements to Core Audio in iPhone OS 3.1 (Beta 3)
New Feature in iPhone OS 3.1: Instruments over Wi-Fi
New Feature in iPhone OS 3.1 with Snow Leopard: VM Tracker
Is that VM as in Virtual Memory, VM as Voice Mail?
 
I hope it speeds up and isn't as slow as 3.0.0 on 1st Gen iPhone devices.

Please god. My phone lags.

Isn't it such a crock that they left out video to all of us? I think the faster processor warrants the 3gs' price tag alone, not video. Oh well, that is why there is cycorder. :D

From what I saw, even cycorder couldn't match the speed that the iPhone 3GS's camera had going. It is possible Apple just don't want people bitching about the choppy and bad quality videos that it would've generated on the first two iPhones.

Scheduled for when, exactly?

Mid August to Sept.
