Hmm, this issue was completely fixed for me in the last release (or the one before that?).

was not fixed for me in 4.1, and it does not look like it was addressed at all in 4.2, so it looks like we are stuck with bad proximity sensors (for those of us still affected by it..for me it's horrible, i still am pushing speaker, facetime, etc with my cheek)

i wonder if I can exchange at the genius bar since it's still so bad.

That's not correct. No app on the iPhone comes anywhere close to using 512 mb of RAM. I've never seen Safari allocated more than 30-40 mb.

Try it. Its incredibly easy and elementary to test. When mulitple apps are "open" down in the switcher, RAM across the board is limited horribly. Safari cannot cache more 1-2 pages at a time when multiple apps have been opened and not fully closed.

Close all of those open apps, go back to Safari and suddenly you can cache 4-5 pages or more sometimes. Its a simple fact.

So please explain to me WHY other browsers can keep more pages open at the same time...I've tested exactly the same content on both Safari and OTHER iPad browsers; it's ultimately NOT about memory, it's about app optimization. And comparisons with OS X are NOT applicable here; I am talking about iPad only.

Once more: can ANYONE tell me if this is better/fixed on 4.2?

mines saying that to.. unusable iPad at the moment now.
 
Has anyone checked to see if ANY non-Apple applications (e.g. PBS, TED) support AirPlay video?

I was really disappointed when I started hearing that only Apple's apps supported it. If that's the case, I hope other app developers can integrate it if desired.. I really wanted to stream NOVA and TED talks to my TV.

I'm running OSX 10.4.11 - I cannot update iTunes to ver. 10. Otherwise, why would iTunes ver 9 even SHOW that there was an update to the iPhone and it was available?

I'm in the process of doing the manual install (manually download the appropriate file mentioned previously). Once it's completed, hold option and click the update button, then browse for the file. It looks like it's working great even though I'm on 9.2 of iTunes.
 
Anyone pls help me. I keep getting this error.

That's my big question too. Can't wait to get home from work to test it out.

You're gonna make me run out of breath.. honestly.

There is a HARD CAP on the amount of memory Safari is allowed to use. And no, I don't see any difference with this on my iPad.

This isn't about how much memory your phone has -- it's about how much memory ONE APP is allowed to allocate for it's own use. It's designed to be non-interfering, so that opening 20 pages on your Safari won't start closing your multi-tasked applications, or degrading the phone's performance!
 
Songs gone

It looks like mine updated OK, but when i go in to the iPod section, it looks like all of my music is gone. When it's plugged into iTunes, it shows them all there. Very weird. I doing a restore now to see if that fixes it...
 
can't find new text tones

the new text tones don't seem to be included in my update. i'm so confused. I got everything else...airprint, personalized text tones, etc. also, anyone try word find in safari yet?

any help is appreciated!

I don't know who is gonna run out of breath here, so let me spell it clearly for ya:

SAFARI can't load 2 pages at the same time without reloading; BROWSER XYZ CAN. DOES 4.2 fix this on Safari?

Is it easier for you to understand now?
