Added "ENDS" to events over multiple days instead of just the time.

That's not new.

small update in iPod app.:

Go to 'artist', pick one. Now the artist name will show below the album name. I thing this is new to 2.2 (don't shoot me if i'm wrong).

See the dotted outlined boxes. That's what a screen shot used to look like before importing them into iPhoto.

Now they show a thumbnail of what the screen shot actually looks like!

that's great! will check it out soon, that really annoyed me.

App Store Update Changes

Just my observations:

Update All is back! All app updates can be applied in one click AGAIN. This was removed from earlier firmware builds.

Updates now installs IN PLACE. 2.1 firmware installed in a spare app slot and then replaced the old app. 2.2 now installs OVER the app using the same slot. Great for one you don't have any spare slots.

New update all option in the updates page

Now we have the option to download all the updates available with just one click. Before this update we had to download the updates one by one.

I took a screenshot but don't know how to attach it from my iPod touch.

No 3G networks in the list anymore. Before with 2.1 there was a (3G) sign after the network name if 3G was available.

UK phone numbers -- nice attention to detail

I know it's already been posted that UK phone numbers get formatted correctly in 2.2, but Apple's attention to detail is rather good here (especially as it's a US-based company).

Apart from the standard "01234 ..." set of UK numbers, it also understands other number groups that are formatted differently, such as 0800 / 800 numbers and London numbers (yay!), which get formatted differently for quirky historical reasons:

UK 0800 / 800 numbers

London numbers

I jailbroke and I'm never going back. Apple intentionally cripples the hell out of the iphone and that is pure BS. I encourage everyone to claim ownership of their phone and let it function at full capacity. Apple is turning into microsoft... fight back before it's too late.

Equating jailbraking with 'owning' your phone is bizarre. Maybe Obama will fix this right after he fixes the college football playoff system, you know the important things. I am sure there is someone from the Clinton administration who can handle it.

iPhone 2.2 Line-In Recording using iTalk

All,

I have been very pleased up to now with the new update but I think Apple is moving toward the right direction by making the device a really nice micro computer to have always with you.

One last thing is that Line-In actually works not too good but it does.

all you need is to grab iTalk from apple store and install iTalk sync in your Mac/Pc

now run iTalk on your iPhone, connect your source to the headphone socket, choose the quality and press the big red button on the screen.

I wanted to attach the file sample but i got problems within the post for the upload.

I can just tell you that it does record but with some noise (maybe my low quality cable) and it does record in mono aiff format.

Please try your self and let us know if you find stereo recording or new things on this topic.

cheers

Youtube

I dont know if anyone has noticed but there is a abnormal spacing between "Search" and "More" on the youtube app?

 

[dickwellington]

I usually lock the phone when I'm on a call, three times now it has ended the call. Anyone else experiencing this since the 2.2 update?

Thanks,
cpjakes

Unless you're using the headphones, this was always the case. It will hang up on your call if you lock the screen without using the earphones.

WHEN YOU UPDATE APPS THERE IS AN Option to UPDATE ALL

WHEN YOU UPDATE APPS THERE IS AN Option to UPDATE ALL

When you post there is a button marked "Caps Lock".

Leave it turned off.

Yeah, you can find it here: http://i33.tinypic.com/2lny39h.jpg.
(VMAS 2008).

No photoshop!

The tinypic image includes Photoshop work (bad silhouetting around hair, gradation overlay, fake background). Maybe you were referring to another image.

When the phone is set to vibrate applications are now silent.

Before the vibrate setting had no effect on the apps.


Very useful to me, b/c I go to college and often download new apps during class to try and get me through. I never know if they are going to make a loud sound or not. haha

Video out display

I need to view ALL applications via the iPhone video out cables - it is unacceptable that the entire iPhone interface does not always show! Is there a jailbroken solution fir THIS?!

Wow! I didn't know anything other than the videos would display using the iPhone's video out cables.

Can you give me a rundown of what usually displays? Individual apps, what pieces of the interface?

New App store feature in iPhone 2.2!!!!

I just noticed that the update section of the app store in my iPhone 3G has the "update all" option it once had, but was lost to a prior software update!!! This makes it much easier to update my apps, especially when there are several at a time

Yes, very happy with the ATD on this. 3, 4 and 5 digit area codes are all recognized correctly.

Home page button on home screen returns to first page...

dunno if this has been posted or even if it has been around for a while but i just found it....

...when on any of the pages apart from the first home screen page... if you press the home button it scrolls back to the first main home page.

That's listed as a feature on Apple's website.

Maps caching
The Maps application no longer caches images.

I know this isn't (much of) an issue for the iPhone, but for the Touch the Maps app needs expanded caching. My iPod has plenty of room to cache neighborhood-level maps of my city for offline use, but it keeps "forgetting" them. Oftentimes I can use the Skyhook location service in Maps when I'm not on wifi (but near enough to one to establish where I am)... but all I get is a blue bullseye in a blank screen, even though I'd viewed a downloaded map of the area a week earlier.

Wi-Fi now accessible in Airplane Mode!

You now have the option to surf over Wi-Fi when you are in Airplane Mode! This is great when you want to disable incoming calls but you still want to check your email or go online in Safari.

When airplane mode is first enabled, Wi-Fi is disabled initially, but you can now turn it back on. If you launch Safari while in Airplane Mode, you're prompted with the following. Also, when you shut off Airplane mode, the airplane takes off. I don't know if that's new, but I hadn't noticed it before.

Maps displays KM's rather than Miles

When searching directions in Maps, the are now displayed in KM, the image is 2.1.

Please Can People Email apple to ask them to be able to change the type (e.g. work or home, etc.) when editing an event, it drives me mad!!

This was a 2.0 feature.
