iPhone Update 1.0.1 Released

[yagrax]

Email delete on a POP3 email account.

I use GoDaddy's email for my wife and my business dealings. They have a POP3 server and I normally view mail using MS Outlook Express (MS Outlook regular is for my corporate email account at my place of employment).

Not sure if this changed with the new release, but maybe has something to do with the "delete off server" setting that now gets set instead of reverting back bug that it's been verified that Apple fixed with 1.0.1.

With my setup now, if I get email on the iPhone and I haven't run MS Outlook Express for awhile (let's say overnight before I boot up my laptop at work in the morning), any messages I delete on the iPhone are getting deleted from the POP3 server as well. Then when later I run MS Outlook Express, those messages are no longer on the POP3 server, and don't get downloaded into MS Outlook Express. This is the way it should work, and thanks to Apple, now it actually does this.

Still can't create folders, and iPhone doesn't see my MS Outlook Express mail folders from a POP3 account (don't think it ever will), but at least the delete emails is working like it should.

Maybe GMail or YahooMail folders work...I hear that they do since they're more web-based than POP3 obviously.

Yeah, I agree but it amazes me at how people think a software update will also update their hardware. It seems like everyone has gone hysterical over a little "security" update. Actually i'm not talking about two little speakers. I'm talking about 1 little speaker and 1 little mic.

Update 1.01 was a software and firmware update, it states that when it starts updating.

Didn't you notice the new button that says Transport Now....

I'm writing this from the third planet of Alpha Centuari .... Trying to get apple or att support line .. 4.2 lightyears from the nearest apple store, to find out how to get home...

No , all kidding aside, as advertised the update was firmware and software, bugfixes, a few cosmetic items but nothing major.

People are complaining that if they modded their iphone they had to do a complete restore.

But need to look at this from apples point of view, if large numbers of firmware or software updates fail than apple could have a mess on their hands, I agree with their approach, take the safest route and restore the unit back to the oriiginal.

They could of been real nasty about it (aka Sony PSP) and easily break the mods. From what I understand you can just run the mod scripts again after completing the update.

Damn, yours transported you??

After my update, my phone started saying something about the rights of sentient beings, transformed into a Mack truck and busted through my living room wall!!

 

[cbrain]

Yes

has the date on the iphone calendar always reflected the current date?

Yes.

 

[porter]

update went smooth for me, nothing happened to any of the stuff on my phone. just wondering when we can get some flash support and custom ringtones?!?!

Good points. I would just point out one thing. Firmware is basicly a program. Firmware is not hardware. It just indicates where the program is installed. Firmware is basicly a program that is stored in a Read Only Memory unit(ROM).

Would differ from you, there are some fixes that seem more than just cosmetic. My large post on page 11 states most of the confirmed and rumored fixes.

Most notable is server mail folders appearing which should mean users can move from inbox to these other folders, less crashing and the email delete setting sticking. I personally really like the increased speaker volume, which is a MAJOR issue with me, attended too many Rush concerts in my early years. And my iPhone so far is recognized 100% by iTunes.

Here's a list of confirmed by more than one iPhone user.



iPhone update 1.0.1 User Reports 8/1/2007


Main fixes verified by multiple iPhone users with this release:

1) 4 Apple security changes.

2) Option to CC changed to BCC instead.

3) IMAP Subfolders appearing.

4) Calculator input changed on start of new calculator, resets input to "new" entry.

5) Many users reporting built in speaker, not external headset, volume seems to be louder in visual voice mail and iPod features.
This is even with users not using the EQ settings.

6) "My AT&T account" bookmark added to end of main bookmark page. Not really a "fix", more like "spam".

7) Server delete option now sticking, was being lost before when exiting screen.

8) 25 more messages to load message is gone. This is a change or a fix depending on how you view this issue.

9) Many users reporting less crashing, not no crashing, but less crashing.

10) Multiple changes to WiFi connectivity, but nothing too specific.

iTunes update today - 7.3.2

Apple released iTunes update today, check the main macrumors page.

Apple says version 7.3.2, but some of us got 7.3.2.6.

Some Windows iTunes users state that the update is not being recognized by iTunes via the iTunes->Help->CheckForUpdates menu item. In that case, go to Apple's website and download to install.

"25 more messages to load message is gone. This is a change or a fix depending on how you view this issue."

I still have that.

Volume has been increased...

I saw some posts that indicated people "felt" that their phones got louder after the update. Being the geek that i am, out came my trusty Radio Scrap sound level meter.

I put the meter right to the earpiece with the max volume set and repetitively got 84-86db on a ring of another line. Once I ran the 1.0.1 update, the volume went up to 92-93db. That's about a 6-8db volume improvement.

So, no more guessing or gut feelings... Both the earpiece volume and the speakerphone got louder. While 6-8db isn't a huge change, I always felt my phone was just a bit too quiet at max volume when i was in my car. Now all is well. Thank you Steve!

I haven't played with Safari much, but if it really is more stable, that really is a welcome change.

While not discounting your findings..I seriously don't think any volume issues have been solved on my phone. Of course it would help if apple indicated such an adjustment rather than 'bug fixes'. I hold out hope for a better update??

Yes I believe I can confirm your findings... I just did the update today and the volume was actually louder afterwards simply by recording the exact same song at same volume levels at the same position with garage band and comparing the heights. However the mic is not used as a speaker in ipod mode, which would have been a good idea for apple to include but no, its not working as a speaker.

Definite improvement in volume including through my Bluetooth headset. No way to confirm, but I haven't had to find a quiet room since the update.

 

[Electro Funk]

no mods for me, and i had to do a complete restore

Lost all the notes i had on the phone and even lost some recent contacts that were added to the phone manually and then synced to address book. They are now gone from both??? weird...

oh yea, also lost some manual appointments that i added to the calendar. it seems as though my last sync, didn't really sync. Then the update added insult to injury. ouch...

Don't notice any volume change - 2 iPhones side-by-side

Update took about 5 minutes

I was really hoping for volume changes but can't say I've noticed anything dramatic. I put 2 iPhones side-by-side and couldn't tell the difference.

As the release number suggests - these maybe very minor "functional" changes. I suspect critical bugs were fixed and performance was tuned.

 

[megfilmworks]

A microphone and a speaker are essentially the same thing. It's definitely plausible. You've never used your headphones in a mic jack before?

So is the Twilight Zone plausible.

Volume increase? not sure...

I saw some posts that indicated people "felt" that their phones got louder after the update. Being the geek that i am, out came my trusty Radio Scrap sound level meter.

A 6 to 8 dB change SHOULD be quite noticeable! Remember that -3dB change equates to half the power. I sampled (by ear) a 1.0 and 1.01 iPhone side-by-side and noticed little if any change. Definitely not a 6-8dB increase. Strange..Do you guys make sure the main volume setting (in general settings) is the same?

 

[megfilmworks]

Thanks for the test results!

And really...who cares if you have to sign up for an iTunes account to do it, it's not like they force you to buy music once you sign up. And let's be honest here, how many early iPhone users don't already have an iTunes account?

I only used iTunes for my iPod after they dropped support for MusicMatch. I don't recall having a iTunes Store account until I bought the iPhone, and even then, I didn't register a credit card because I don't believe in the DRM crap that they ram down your throat and would rather purchase a CD that I can rip to MP3 instead.

I think that it is slick that they check your firmware automatically, and give you the option to download but not install the update. I HATE how they changed iTunes to not allow you to drag and drop your music to your iPod/iPhone, and also won't let you copy your music back off your iPhone/iPod to your computer. I have about 10 gig of music, and I don't put all of it in playlists. In fact, I only add play lists for media sets, not artists or genre. How am I supposed to get only the music I want on my 8 gig iPhone? They really piss me off on this feature change.

Yeah, I agree but it amazes me at how people think a software update will also update their hardware.

You are fooling yourself if you do not think that software updates can activate hardware features that were not previously activated. Most hardware manufactures now use generic programmable hardware "chips" that can be programmed for a multitude of uses, and updated by firmware (and sometimes even software or microcode) updates. Is it feasible that a software update could change the way that the two audio devices at the bottom of the iPhone work? Sure. Did they? No. Will they? Unless you have inside hardware design information, or knowledge from inside the minds of the Apple developers, it's really hard to say.
