iOS 4.2 Now Available

[MacRacer]

I wonderful if after I update my 3GS it will help with reception issues. Ever since the first ios4 update, I haven't been able to use my phone from inside my house (in San Francisco). Before the update and with every other phone i have had over the past ten years, reception was perfect. I've been on many calls with ATT iPhone tech support with no luck. Changed sim cards. re booted, re set and so on. My friends with non iPhones talk perfectly from my house.

Oh well...

I having the same issue as you are. Apple is say to us older iPhone user to upgrade and you won't have this problem. I had perfect reception everywhere I went. Now where I used to get 4 bars, i am getting 1 or non.

Favorite feature: you can now search within a web page. I think I like that even better than folders!

How do you do this?


I've been wanting such a feature.

4.2

thanks!

Weird...... I hadn't updated to 3.2.2 yet (I was still on 3.2.1), and when I hit update, it showed that the update would be to 3.2.2. I tried a few times, and then just figured that I had to go to 3.2.2 before going to 4.2.1.

I updated, but it actually updated me to 4.2.1 instead.

I should have taken a screenshot, but this isn't important anyway, now is it......

3 - Has Safari stopped reloading every page when moving between them?

Would love to know this too.

Any word on when the updated SDK will be out for developers?

What's the build number on the public 4.1?

How do you do this?


I've been wanting such a feature.

Do a regular search for the word in the google search field, then scroll to the bottom of the list of what comes up.

Downloaded in less than five minutes. Gotta love Virgin broadband.

Mine was going pretty fast, then once it gets to just over 300MB, it slows right down. Anyone else having this problem?

Build 8C148
Version 4.2.1

Build number is 8C148a, the a is an addition from the 4.2.1 GM released. It shows as version 4.2.1

SIMPLE QUESTIONS BEFORE UPDATING:

1 - Is battery life affected?

2 - Is multitasking exactly the same as iPhone 4?

3 - Has Safari stopped reloading every page when moving between them?

#3 is a function of memory limitations. When Safari exceeds its allocated memory, it will reload the next "tab" that you already had open. The phone doesn't have unlimited memory to keep web pages open, and some pages will use more memory than others.

#2 yes, as far as I can tell.

No problems here, make sure its not near any metal!
