Beta 4 with new features?

[Woien]

A new icon on "desktop" that hides calc, watch, compass and voicememo.

 

[Kahnyl]

It's just a folder, except this one's preinstalled.

 

[angevil]

Also, OS 4.0 seems to produce water drops on the screen. I am off to make a new app to make millions of monies. It is going to be called ″Screen wipe″

Not preinstalled for me.

 

[Kahnyl]

Me either, but I just figured iTunes broke the folder before I had a chance to see it.

 

[GFSarah]

Not preinstalled for me.

Nor for me.

 

[vizkiz]

Not preinstalled for me.

Nor for me.

Maybe it's only preinstalled on the 3GS, with the extra icon (compass).
I see GFSarah has the beta on his 3G, not his 3GS. What about you dejo?

I've a 3GS.

Oh, well then that throws that theory out, lol.

My bad ... I decided it felt good enough on my 3G and installed beta 4 on my 3GS a few hours ago. The utility folder did not appear on my 3G restored from it's backup on beta 3, and it did not appear on my 3GS restored from it's backup on 3.1.3.

And I'm a her ... not a him.

Now off to update my signature.

I noticed one -

When opening and viewing a calendar appointment (being fed from an Exchange 2007 server), the appointment window auto-scrolls down to the Notes section.

 

[dejo]

Oh, well then that throws that theory out, lol.

Here's a new theory: If you set-up as a new phone and not restore from previous backup, it appears. (For me, this time, at least).

 

[fishkorp]

Utilities folder showed up for me (3GS) when setup as a new phone. If restoring from backup the folder was not there.

 

[Kahnyl]

Seriously, iTunes probably broke the folder before you saw it.

 

[anti-microsoft]

Has anyone noticed the different background texture Apple has used for it's folders? I much prefer it.

Ams.

I know the Itunes can/will break any folders....
I really like that feature "folder"..it will really clean up my messy desktop..

One thing I've noticed with Beta 4 is that individual calendar events can be viewed in landscape orientation. I don't recall that being possible with earlier betas or OS 3.X, but I could be mistaken ... ? In any case, it makes me wonder if they're working on a landscape calendar view, perhaps even one that will (finally!) have week view.

You are right..on my wifes 3G the calendar is not for landscape.

It is there for everyone when Beta 4 is installed, but after your phone syncs/restores it removes the folder

Yes..we know..Itunes 9.1 does that..

Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were a guy with a GF named Sarah, aka GFSarah.

If it's any consolation, various people on various forums think I'm a girl named Vicky for some reason.

I set my 3G up as a new phone iTunes didn't brake the folder up on my device, it would only brake when you sync apps, if you sync without apps it stays

sorry for double post just spotted this on gizmodo:

It's about time that the iPhone gets a custom dictionary, and according to this screen from the latest iPhone OS 4 beta, you'll find one under keyboard settings.

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5543010/iphone-os-4-will-have-a-custom-dictionary

and photo app has changed slightly:

There's a tiny change to the Photo app in that you can finally view your Photo Roll in a different orientation—unless you have Orientation Lock turned on that is.

 

[bova80]

i can't find the custom keyboard dictionary...
