iOS 4.3.1 Due Within Two Weeks?

How about fixing Memory Leakage Issues

How about fixing the potential Memory Leakeage that started to become more and more obvious on my iPad1 after updating to 4.3?

Great, every time I update my iPhone, I have nothing but problems.

I eventually have to restore my phone multiple time before getting it to work. I just updated to 4.3 and after hours of screwing with it, it finally works now. I didn't want to update again so soon.

Apple really needs to update iTunes & the whole firmware update process.

If I was you, I'd do a fresh restore, and not an update. It sounds to me like something is not kosher with your iOS install.

I've never had a problem with any of my iPhones. I've never jailbroken my iPhone 4, but I didn't have an update problem even when jailbreaking my original iPhone.
 
Vodafone.nl has (apparently) been bitten by that SIM bug. Their newer series SIMs -marked with a 7- result in rebooting iPhone 3GS.

I try to update, and it always fails. When an update fails, iTunes forces you to do a complete restore and it takes a few failed restores before it will finally "take".

I always set aside an entire afternoon to do an update, because it is not an easy process. That's also why I hate it when Apple releases a new update after only a few weeks, because I really hesitate to update. I was still at 4.1 when I upgraded to 4.3.
 
In other words, they found a way to block Comex's jailbreak exploit and are using PR to "remedy" minor "glitches".

If it's intentional then there is a case for JB's to bring to court.

So world wide the update to 4.3.1 and future ones that cut out Jailbreaking altogether could cut off a million people from CYdia and ThemeIt and any other non Apple owned App sources, in the USA we call that a Monopoly and restraint of trade........ It's illegal and such can be court ruled that Apple must once and for all "Open up IOS" or leave it so it could be Jailbroken.

I know I know Apple has a right to close the software blah Blah,
in reality no, they do not have the right

Why? The same reason Microsoft has been told over and over it has to stop bundling programs like IE and others with it's software, Microsoft did not close Windows to anything and was giving programs for free, yet courts have said its an unfair advantage to other software.

Apple attempts to completely control the App market with Itunes.
CYdia is a competitor.

Its unfair to all of us to not take this seriously and fight Apple on taking Jailbreaking away.
Jailbreak and Unlock are two separate issues.

Agreed 100%. The irony is that Apple hired these jail breakers to work on their App store before Apple rolled it out.

I know, I know not going to happen and you can't win blah blah, sure some will post this............But and a big but

2% "Abuse the Iphone Data by tethering"

Ok so we know the number of Jailbreakers are at least 300,000 since At&t boasted 15 million Iphone customers, what about the world and people who do not abuse Data per At&t, I estimate Jailbreaking to be at least 5%

so thats 750,000 people at least what about a Million?

There's a court case now over Iphones should be sold as Unlocked, I disagree with that because the Carriers should have them locked till the contract is up.

Jailbreak and Unlock are two separate issues.


Now rip away I know some will.

To jailbreak, one must exploit a hole which can potentially compromise the device. It is Apple's job to patch any known security exploits

I don't really know why you went on with court cases and the like as it is not really applicable at all
 
One issue from 4.3 that I would really appreciate a fix for is the Javascript rendering engine bug. While iOS 4.3 theoretically introduced the Squirrelfish/Nitro high-speed Javascript engine, it is only useable in Apple's Safari, but remains broken in other parts of the OS and in any 3rd-party browser interface. And Safari's UI sucks compared with iCab and AtomicWeb (plus, iCab allows one to download files and export them to other apps...and features a disk cache, tabs, etc).
 
I am waiting for an iTunes update even more, before I try any of this.

US courts ruled that jailbreaking Apple devices is legal. Apple's stance is that it breaks warranty agreements. Yes, it is through an exploit, but jail breaking applications exist to patch that exploit/security leak once jail broken.

The truth, yes Apple needs to break those security exploits. However, Apple would not be aware so quickly if at all of those exploits and it takes a team or truly knowledgable programmer/hacker to know where to look and how to exploit. This is a cat and mouse game going on for years, and the OP is right, it's a business strategy to keep customers locked into Apple's iTunes App Store.

Personally, I am not the least bit interested in jailbreaking. For me it is just a security risk, since the same vulnerabilities that are used by jailbreakers to "free" their devices can also be used by bad guys to circumvent the passcode protection on a lost or stolen device and get to your data. I hope Apple do the best they can to plug the holes.
 
Is anyone else having an issue with MobileMe mail pushing and syncing properly since the 4.3 update?

The act of jailbreaking is legal, yes. However, that does not mean Apple has to continue to allow such vulnerabilities to exist.
 
Laggy iPhone

I would like to see fixed for iphone 4
1: Random lock-screen lockups when someday calls or you get an sms.
2: Camera app snappiness
3: Battery life ;)
4: faster home-sharing connection
5: overall performance, it's like I'm back on my 3gs

(6): I don't want to hear smstones and push notifications through my airplay audio-setup! When on loud volume, It's almost scary!
(7): wifi reception has gone down for me since 4.3.

People have been complaining about battery draining since 2007 and the first iPhone, i think people need to accept the fact that an update is never coming (or just admit that they have a severe case of OCD)

Agreed. However, without the jailbreakers finding these vulnerabilities it is highly unlikely Apple would fix them or find them at all (these guys have been doing this for years). As well, most X.X.X updates don't address anything other than the loophole, and this loophole is difficult to access as it is. So it's a double edged sword, had the jailbreakers not found and announced the exploit perhaps it wouldn't make the device as publicly vulnerable. Given Apple's track record, it is mostly to keep users locked into Apple's ITMS and system, which is their right however one may agree/disagree with it. As a developer who knows the "process" and with friends in Cupertino, these updates are simply clouded in PR. The OP does have a legal point, however of a fine line it may be. There is some set precedent in this area.

Otherwise, those in the know, don't update and make sure to back up your SHSH blobs and you should be fine. Let the games begin...

This is a great update and all....but they REALLY need to fix the battery drainage issue now.

I just don't understand how for some--like you--the battery drains much faster yet for me--my battery life is better. I've been using my phone since 7AM and it is at 69 percent now--before the update it would be well under 50 by now--strange. :confused:

Good question. Are batteries still prone to capacity loss if plugged in when it has not reached a low level/fully drained? I assume not as this was/is an old issue.

If you're trying to place any blame on Windows causing this problem you should get your head out of your ****. If not, then I apologize. It's just getting rather old seeing people on here pounce on MS every chance they get.

He said on MACRUMORS seriously... even if my head is out of my ****, you DO realize that you are trying to stop MS hate on an Apple Fanboy site....
