New 3.0 Build SDK and Firmware!

[dhy8386]

Some welcome new fixes:

1) Bluetooth is much more stable. A2Dp works nicely now. I am using a Jabra BT3030 and before using the stereo audio, if you did anything else on the phone it would skip horribly. So far, very very little skipping and working great.
2) Also now the play, pause button works on the stereo bluetooth devices. Couldnt get skip and rewind to work although by bluetooth was out of juice so could be that. There was a 3 second delay between pressing keys and it actually happening on the phone.
3) SMS and email feel snappier. Keyboard rotates more smoothly also. Search is faster and I am using an exchange server with 1 month of mail (about 650 messages)
4) So far all the same apps that worked before work now, including youtube (although like before, i set my phone up as a new device, did not do a restore)
5) Cut and paste (and copy) is slightly less flaky but still so. Seems better in safari.


Thats all for now. Big test is battery life which i will test tonight.

Your gonna get all my testing done for me...just post it all in my thread...lol
Thanks for the A2DP update, that was one that was annoying me. I just completed my battery tests and posted already...now will have to start over.

Still waiting for my Dev to get online and send me the update.

 

[Fraghax]

[renewed]

Then get the developer to send it to you.

And for those of you saying it is not illegal, it really in fact is.

Quoted from colonels1020

You need to download it from http://developer.apple.com under the iPhone Development section.

we live on 2th generation internet. p2p is more efficient.
less overhead. my device is registered. nothing personal.

 

[JerFresh]

Is anyone else having a hard time downloading this from the developers site? I have been downloading it for over an hour and it says I still have 12 hours and 7 minutes to go! I downloaded the first beta in under 30 minutes.

There is no NDA on the NDA itself. Stop trying to cover up people asking for software illegally.

mms working

I just downloaded and updated to the new beta and my MMS is currently working. I didnt do anything at all other than update to the new beta. I didnt change my files in the last beta either. It just started to work. Who knows for how long? I am on a 3G.

That message is not the NDA, but simply a reminder that you previously signed the NDA when you registered and all communication is covered. It is most definitely something that is covered by the NDA.

Yeah, strictly speaking is illegally to ask for a software link on internet but i can open a weapon store for the bad asses.

 

[NT1440]

Can anyone see if this version fixes the force quit issue? Holding down the home button never quits me out on 3.0 b1.

Yeah I'm an idiot! I didn't even realize I was downloading the entire thing! Problem solved! Thanks for the help

notes sync worked for me now
on beta 1 notes were not synced to mail, now they are.

spotlight is still sluggish for me.

tethering works more stable for me, used to crash in beta 1 when itunes was open. works like a charm now.

c 'n' p is more precise when trying to select only one value out of a table in safari.

 

[abarna21]

IPCC still good

i take it everyone is too busy getting offended to know wether or not the .ipcc works on the new release with att iphones?

yes, the mms and tethering (usb and bluetooth) still working just fine!

Here is an update:

You can now see facebook thumbs/pictures in the facebook app. In the first beta they would not load, for me at least.

 

[MY799]

I am interested in beta testing on the 3.0 software. Any developers need some help? I want to do this legally and am not looking to make any profit. Please email me at my799@me.com. Thanks!

Think that was fixed in the recent Facebook app update, not by this beta2

 

[=MuLti-CeLL=]

Please excuse my noobiness but, what is AT&T 3.5 in the picture?

Thanks.

You're probably right, but the problem didnt start for me until i installed 3.0 for the first time.

Calendar

Can you change the calendar an event is on after it has been created?

 

[brn2prgrm]

MMS now works without a hitch! Now there is no need for a .ipcc file! I just tested it out and it worked perfectly, so I'm guessing that's what the AT&T 3.5 is all about!
