Hi all, new on here. Just downloaded version 3 software. None of my downloaded Apps will work when I click on them. All I get is the opening page then it closes down.

Any ideas ?
 
Have all your apps been tested for 3.0?

If so - try a backup and restore. That (usually) fixes problems like this.
 
Funnily enough, after I sent the last post I tried the App store, it let me download a random free App.Now all the others work.....weird eh?
 
Since upgrading to 3.0 one of my favourite apps has stopped working: WiFinder, a free app that was far more powerful and useful in finding wireless networks than the settings-wifi standard way. Can anyone suggest an alternative (free) app that works with 3.0 and works well?

Ummm, this isn't WiFinder.

But I can't even find WiFinder in the App store anymore.

Unless I'm going insane, that link was correct earlier. :confused:

Maybe the app just got renamed, but then that'd suggest the new version is out, and I'm not seeing any updates. Since I can't open Wifinder, I can't see who the developer was.

Otherwise Apple pulled the app 'cos it wasn't 3.0 ready, in which case, it'll be back if/when it's fixed.
 
So I think I'm just going insane.

And yeah, Wifinder has definitely gone MIA. :(
 
The same thing happened to me and it eventually worked itself out after awhile.

I am still not sure why.

Maybe something was activating or whatever but after an hour, everything started working

Re-start just to be sure
 
I have had the same thing happen to several of my apps as well. Guess they just need to be updated for 3.0. Hopefully they will get it going soon.

I found this out about why WiFinder is gone and that it is for good. Such a sad thing!

That's a real shame. It was a great app, and handy for sorting out people's wifi problems when they are in congested apartment complexes. :(

Interesting that he states 3.0 basically breaks all these apps, yet, the app I inadvertently linked to suggests that they have a fix in the approval stage.

Let's see how that shakes out.

Thanks for digging that link up though!
 
Wifinder

I cant get wifinder to work anymore.So I test everything I find earlier,they dont work in firmware 3 none of them.I test them ALL but no.I miss Wifinder, so I dont have anything to search after wifi anymore. hmmm
