Version 1.0.2 available

Apple either needs to fix the broken update process or give us a reliable way to back things up (i.e. integrate notes with the computer).

This is great. I had so many work notes, names, to-do lists.

Not sure what I'm going to do now. They are gone forever.

I do love the phone but do agree that usiing iTunes as the synch application for the phone is a serious gap. I could care less about hacking or games, I just want to be able to easily synch ALL of my data to whatever PC or MAC I choose to connect too. Applie needs to buy a Motorola phone and get Motorola phone tools. With all of its early problems, it has always been a fantastic application for syncing data, all data, from its phone to your PC/MAC.

So, I say Abandon iTunes and create a reliable iPhone Synch Application.

I don't recall it there before actually...have I lost my mind? I think this is new.

not new, i have two phones one updated one not and it works on both

 

[tooshaggy]

well gee.
So restoring and re-sncing all the info including ifuntastic on an 8 gig ihone takes about 1.25 hours. Big deal.
I dont mind rehacking the phone after an update.
I figure "be happy we have the ability!!"

Bad update!!!

After updating, my iPhone is now in a perpetual on/off loop. Even when shutting it off it turns right back on. No hacks on this phone. Restoring now.

Regarding time release:
-Anyway to update the iPhone system clock to 2008 and find out?

Regarding flash:
-I think that since Flash player 9 will support H.264 the iPhone may support flash enabled sites that are made for Flash player 9 only. If this is the case then it's going to be a looong time before iPhone's safari starts seeing flash sites. Probably right around the time the 2nd version of iPhone is released.


Regarding scrolling with 1.02:
Hands down all the way, unquestionably an improvement with 1.02 . I have a huge contact list and scrolls much much smoother now. It used to stutter for some reason before.

another find, i'm not sure if its been in the previous update, but when you go to your voicemail and hit greeting, there are new buttons at the bottom, record / play, and when you hit record, you get a signal meter that goes up when you talk, kind of like in ichat. cool nonetheless, not sure if thats been around. but that was my first time seeing that.

2 new wallpapers. A quality update all the way. I've been waiting for this.

I don't remember the old ones so I can't tell what the two new ones are.

Not having this idea myself is why I'm sure I'm not a genius.
But surely with the incredible secrecy Steve normally requires it wouldn't be this simple. Are we sure that button appeared during the Stevenote, or was it there before and we just didn't notice?
Perhaps the phones don't just add features when the time changes, perhaps they check an Apple server for permission to update, thereby guaranteeing the features aren't released prematurely.
All speculation at this point, but worth investigating.

I'm pretty sure the advanced options for Mail were there. I seem to remember that's where you add the IMAP prefix.

As for the wallpapers, I too thought they had added new wallpapers, but then I found this image pre-update:

I don't get that at all.

What's supposed to be new in advanced mail options? looks the same to me.

 

[asherman13]

Has anyone noticed if the saved dictionary words are still saved after a restore?

 

[Wyvernspirit]

I hope this makes it more stable. My "iPod" and "Safari" has been craqshing on me the past few days. More annoying then anything, but its been happening.

 

[macridah]

when will I be able to use custom ringtones!

there are saved dictionary words? How?

EDIT: By the way, just finished the update and its working, not sure what might have changed if anything.

 

[killmoms]

I appreciate bug fixes as much as the next guy, but two months in, I'm about ready for some actual improvments to the phone. New apps, copy and paste, custom ringtones, IM, general enhancements and fixes to apps already there, some kind of audio compression/boost in software to bring call volume up as loud as playing music... Any/all of these are things that could be done in a software update.

I guess we won't see real enhancement until around Leopard release time.

 

[liberty4all]

Installation went fine, Safari feels much snappier, the UI feels more responsive.

I wish they would fix the problem with when you have a low WiFi signal and strong Edge signal, and it seems to be held up by the weak WiFi signal in page loading and doesn't know when to switch to the strong signal :-(

When are we going to get some substantive updates, Apple? Like iChat AV? ;-)

 

[liberty4all]

Is there a way to specify the Outgoing and Incoming servers' port numbers? do I just add for instance :994 to the Host name? Anyone know?

With no front facing camera, how do you figure iChat AV would work?

 

[mobilehavoc]

Is BT pairing with a desktop new??

[newtxmgf]

agreed

I had noticed this too...it annoyed the crap out of me...glad to hear its fixed.

***Edit***I am noticing that when I visit certain site it now defaults to the "mobile" version rather than the full webpage...example being http://www.tbo.com***

They fixed a small but annoying bug I had noticed ever since I first got the phone.

Sometimes you couldn't close vertical tabs while in landscape mode because the title of the pages would block out the close button.

Now, if you switch modes with multiple pages open, the tabs automatically change to the correct mode and you can close them properly! Yay!

 

[sh4ners]

just noticed that when you click to shut off the screen and you come back by hitting the main button it just shows a blank screen and if you hit it once more it comes up fine.

anyone else?
