More bars

What is this "more bars" stuff? I mean how easy would it be for Steve to say "just show them a couple of more bars and they will be happy even if the download speed sucks".
 
spoke too soon

ok, i spoke too soon.this backup process is not going fast.It looks like im about 3/4 the way there. my first post was on "03:59 PM" and its now 05:10 PM"
 
Twice the fun

So with a 1st and 2ng generation in the house, iTunes requires one to download TWICE. Comcast is definitely gonna throttle this one. Anyone with a full family of phones should prepare for a long night.
 
Just finished updating, took 3 hours including the back up. I haven't noticed anything different. But who knows, I'll give it a few days to see.
 
Download and backup

After reading about all these problems with the 3G I decided to wait for the gen 2b or even 3 as my 1st gen "original" iPhone works like a charm. E-mail push works, no lag in contacts, stable connections, no cracked case.

My backup takes about 5 to 10 minutes, why is it so much longer with others? I have no movies on my 8GB iPhone?:confused:

Copy and paste works great, tip twice on to the start, than stroke for the text to be copied and tip once.

I get this type of error when I am using media that it is trying to sync with iPhone. Make sure you are not playing any music or media either through iTunes or another app. Try reboot to make sure. I cannot remember my error number but I think it was the same.

That's only because the iPhone and iPhone 3G use different firmware files. If you were to try another iPhone or iPhone 3G, iTunes would not download the firmware again.
 
Seems Faster

the phone seems to respond a lot faster. 3G still sucks. :mad:. When is version 2.1 out?
 
First I had an error installing the update. Now I have been backing up for almost an hour and a half. I never thought I would long for the days before 2.0 when everything was easy and just worked.
 
Full 3G Reception: 5 Bars!

I'm in downtown Toronto, ON with Rogers and at home, since I got my iPhone I was only getting 3 bars. This is downtown Toronto in a highrise. I knew something wasn't right.

In addition, I occasionally got some dropped calls which also doesn't seem right considering my central location.

After installing 2.0.2, I'm getting full power, 5 bars :)
 
Some of you people must have a lot of stuff on your phone for a 3 hour long backup. :eek:

Mine took about 5 minutes to back up. I don't have much on mine though, only about 120 MB worth of songs and about 6 apps.

I am going to go with the theory that they are just showing more bars to trick all of us.
 
this backup time is ridiculous

my iphone is completely uselessss rightttt nowwwww

ughhhh i want to text but this backup isnt even halfway done!

HURRYYYY UPPPPP
 
I did a backup before upgrading to 2.0.2. The backup took less than a few minutes. So far so good, no dropped calls even though I have one bar. For those of you getting Error 19, try hooking up to the internet using a hardwired cable. That seemed to fix my issues.
 
My 2.02 update on my 3G (16GB) took about 10-12 minutes total, including time to download.

Updated and seems to work just fine. Don't notice anything significant yet. Can't check 3G service strength since I don't live in a 3G area (right outside the fringe according to AT&T's maps) - I'll have to check at work tomorrow.
