Yeah. Um. This ipod touch update fixed (via software) whatever negative black issue my phone was having... and it was having it bad. So, yay! and... you were wrong. This is huge news. Mods need to start a new thread for this one.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but homemade ringtones (the .m4r hack) with iTunes 4.0 no longer works with the firmware upgrade. 
The ringtones show up in the phone but won't play.

Just updated to 1.1.1, and as others have reported, any ringtones installed via iToner do not show up on the Ringtones menu. However, I setup a few contact specific ringtonesringtones installed via iToner, and they still work!

Right, but this is the problem -- not everyone has the exact same "want" list. It would've been great to have been showered with more features for this update, but it's rare that one update comes around that fixes every user complaint at the same time. The iPhone's just a few months old now and this is the first major update to the software.
My bet is the iChat App's done. Been done. But they're saving it. For what?
To either combat a "people don't want to update" because they fear an update will break their added software, or to have something to put out when a competitor comes along with something comparable to compete w/ the iPhone.
I set my home button to Favorites instead of iPod functions, but if you turn on, then double click home button without 'sliding to unlock' you get the ipod functions which is a nice way to listen to music without unlocking.

That makes sense; it's just interesting what a big deal Apple made of it.
It's been my experience that even the most insignificant freeware programs have a License Agreement that says something to the effect of, "This software is provided as is and we're not responsible if it blows up your computer."
The fact that Apple executives made statements about this, and that they placed extra warnings in documentation just seems like they wanted folks to see it with big flashing letters and neon signs.
In any case, Apple must have known what the firmware update would and wouldn't do before they released it, so if people are able to keep their unlocked phones at this point, it's clearly what Apple intended...
Has anyone w/ BSD subsystem and or Summerboard had any problems with this update(brick wise) ???? I am considering restoring before i update to 1.1.1
Wait, so contacts can be assigned a ringtone loaded via iToner, but you just can't make a default ringtone loaded via iToner? I can live with that
Is this pre-existing contacts (pre 1.1.1) you assigned, or can you still assign?
No flash support, no right click style copy and paste controls, ......no reason to update.
Folks I don't know why everyone is so antsy to UPDATE their firmware the PSP guys are DOWNGRADING their firmware. Happily I might add! Why? Because the hacks are better than the firmware being put out by the manufacturer.... CLUE PHONE.
Until there is a copy paste command and flash support there is nothing appealing in any way that apple can release that will make an update worthwhile.
Step back and look at the big picture....... Apple ball and chain control with no useable new features or a wide open phone with endless hacks. Pretty easy choice.
PS- has anyone tried restoring from Itunes with the shift method to choose a lower firmware and go back?

i'm sure it's somewhere in here, but i didnt see it after reading 6 pages so....
for those that changed the file name of ringtones to make them work, are those now disabled?
**edit** of course it's on the last page after i post
ah well, guess i might hold off until there's another fix for this and apptapp is back to working.

Well, at least it does 16:9/Widescreen as an option...
It is 480i composite out.
Do you really think a phone would have an HD output? Come on, man ...
Ringtones are sent to the iPhone, but they don't show up on the list.
How did you get your ringtones to the phone? Was it with the itunes workaround or from a software program like itoner? I ask because someone on everything iphone is reporting that his custom ringtones were preserved. He is using 7.4.1.2 itunes and got the ringtones via the itunes workaround method.
Wait, so contacts can be assigned a ringtone, but you just can't make a generic ringtone via iToner? I can live with that
Is this pre-existing contacts (pre 1.1.1) you assigned, or can you still assign?
Only for ones that have been already assigned while on 1.0.x
I dont know what you did differently than me... but I have NO custom ringtones... not even for contacts
No, IMAP on the iPhone is slower and more sluggish. However, IMAP gives you real folders (folders that you create and name), although you do have to pre-create the folders on the IMAP server (you cannot create IMAP folders from the iPhone).
No video downloads on the Wifi store, only music. No ringtones, podcasts, nuthin else except music.
I just updated to 1.1.1.
Whew! I got an error saying my iPhone cannot be restored. I unplugged my iPhone and connected it again and hit restore and it worked.
It is currently syncing my files. I selected new phone instead of update to start from scratch again. I'll let you know it turns out...

Too bad I wish they do something about it. i would love to download and watch a movie when I am away from my computer getting bored.
I will say it again (as I stated in post #269 - I guess you don't read EITHER)!!
I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SO ******* SORRY!
I misread the quote. I misread the quote.
There, you happy??
I was actually trying to respond to you and not Unspeaked. Since Adobe bought Macromedia over a year ago, I guess you don't read much either, do you?
And as far as your last statement goes ("Adobe will need to do some serious work with Flash to continue to be a mainstay in the business.") - where are you getting your info from? Business Week, Wall Street Journal?
yeah, I wonder why they didn't make ringtones available. Seems like a no-brainer, but perhaps they couldn't slim up the ringtone editor enough to fit it in the (153.2MB!) iPhone software.
You know, I was sitting here for the last two hours wondering if it had actually changed or if it was just the new iTunes icon that made things look so different!
