iPhone 1.1.2 Firmware Released

I am also having a problem adding ringtones to my phone. I know SFC Archer was helping me over on apple support forums but I'll give it a shot here too....

1. I converted the mp3 to AAC using iTunes
2. Renamed it .m4r
3. Dropped it in iTunes
4. The ringtone showed up under the ringtone section in iTunes and in the Ringtone folder of my iTunes music.
5. The ringtone did NOT show up as a syncable ringtone in my iPhone Ringtones Tab
6. I told iTunes to sing my entire ringtone library to my iPhone
7. It did and now I can see the custom ringtone under the Ringtone section of my iPhone (but still not under the Ringtone Tab)
8. I go into the settings of my iPhone to set the custom ringtone and it is not there.

Any help?

Try this and see if it works:

Spotlight search .AIFF

Copy any of the files to your desktop.

Drag the file into iTunes.

Command (Apple) click on the file and change the time to under 30 seconds in the appropriate panel.

Convert to AAC.

Drag the AAC file to your desktop. Rename the extension to .m4r.

Drag back into iTunes. Then sync your phone (be sure to check your ringtone settings as well to make sure you have selected it to sync).

Try closing iTunes, let it set for a few minutes then reopen...also check the Ringtone folder in your iTunes Folders in your file system...make sure the ringtone is there and is only 30 sec long. It may have transferred to a different folder such as "unknown artist"

Hope that helps...I am helping you both places now. lol

Jack Pot Baby!!!

I think the ringtone was too long. I looked at in and it was 34 seconds. So I cut it down and now it synced perfectly.

Thanks so much! :D

For me, there is a noticeable performance increase in speed. I think this alone was enough for me to upgrade...of course the only 3rd party app I use is iToner...so it's not like I was worried about anything else.

Hmmm... My iPhone *always* seems faster after a full power cycle. Perhaps that's all you're experiencing?

There's this upstart OS called Linux, you may have heard of it.

In a desktop or server it's rare to really run out of RAM, since you can make use of disk for swap. Linux by default (probably other systems too, but Linux is what I know) will allow allocations that it doesn't have the space for. Part of the reason for this is that applications regularly ask for more RAM than they every actually use, so the kernel oversells the capacity (kind of like your bank does with money). This leads to a need to kill processes if space runs out.

You can change this behavior so that the kernel will guarantee that RAM will be available if an allocation succeeds, but there's not much point. Very few applications are really written to handle a failed memory allocation well, and tend to abort -- well written apps do so cleanly.

Load of crap. The reason Linux and other UNIX's can allow an app to request more memory than there is physical RAM in the machine is because of the concept of Virtual Memory which allows pages to be swapped when not in use. But definitely it's the new process that tries to allocate beyond available VM that will fail to get the memory. The OS doesn't go killing other processes to satisfy some new process's request for more memory -- there'd be no way to protect that certain processes should never be killed and that'd result in a very worthless OS due to unpredictable behavior w.r.t. production services.

What you may have experienced is that some process that was started before is also asking for more memory and can't get it and doesn't deal with it gracefully so it bombs.
 
After updating to this firmware, now iPhone has only 1 or 2 bars, where before i used to be nearly full all time time!
I've tried resetting and nothing has worked. Not sure what's going on...
I did the upgrade using my PeeCee running Windows at work - I'll try restoring it again this afternoon when I get home from my Mac..
:(

Where are you located? I ask because my 7.5 iTunes "Check for Updates" STILL doesn't have 1.1.2 listed as current. I'm in the Midwest, USA
 
I can confirm that DIY ringtones work for me w/ 1.1.2 and iTunes 7.5.

I have made two ringtones with QT Pro:

#1
32 sec long
128 kbps mono
496 KB

#2
10 sec long
128 kbps
110 KB

Both were originally MP3. I opened up in QT to edit and saved as a MPEG4 movie, changed the extension to .m4r ctrl-click to opened it up in iTunes. They both automatically went to the "ringtones" folder.

And they show up on iPhone too?

Same here, Southeast US. Strange some people are getting them through iTunes and some not. But of course, Apple is anything but consistent.

Virtual memory has zilch-all to do with it. You guys have no clue what you're talking about.

Here's a nice link: http://lwn.net/Articles/104179/
 
Ok everyone...

Let's go around the horn...1.1.2 update availability in iTunes, please sound off! (Location, Mac/PC, yes/no)

I'll start:
Midwest USA, PC, no
 
1.1.2 jailbreak unsuccessful so far...

Updated to 1.1.2 from download and manual restore -- all AppTapp Installer apps are gone, and Oktoprep did not help, no SSH installed after update. I am unable to downgrade to previous firmware versions on iTunes -- must require a special technique now...

Need to find a new jailbreak solution, as this did not work per TUAW's limited details... They claim to have done it, but more detailed steps are needed.

I really don't think this has anything to do with where one is located, but...

California, Mac, no.

I was able to load the new firmware using the link and instructions in this thread.
