[tundra]

Thanks for the heads up. Will update now. Darn I hope there is something in there worth while lol.

[gregneedham]

Downloading it now....course my mods mean I have to restore and update, but I am in the process...

[ilLegalBeagle]

Well, I've already updated, but nothing looks different on the surface. I figured someone out there who was a detail-oriented person might have already identified the minute changes to the interface.

I'll poke around the screens in mine and let you know if I see anything different.

[Darth Veneficus]

[ilLegalBeagle]

Gah! I clicked past that note. Oh, well... No substantive changes this time, either...

Maybe we'll get something useful in the next update...

ilLegalBeagle

[GeorgeStewart88@gmail.com]

Im going to update mine...


whats the worst that could go wrong? They stop our third party apps?

It has to do a complete reset since my iphone is custom. Ill let you know of any changes...

[hexonxonx]

My update was quick, it downloaded a file that was about 3.7MB and then installed it. My iPhone wasn't modded in any way so the update was finished in just a few minutes. I haven't noticed any changes yet, hopefully the few bugs in the iPhone have been fixed such as the speaker sound.

[adseguy]

Coders usually denote like this:

1.0.* = bug fix/minor update

1.*.0 = moderate update with major bug fixes and maybe a few features

*.0.0 = major update with features and maybe a new way to navigate/operate

Apple's website doesn't have anything listed yet....

:2cool:

[sunshineprincess]

Downloading it now....course my mods mean I have to restore and update, but I am in the process...


oh shoit...love the update. my first one. I am no longer an update virgin!:laugh2:

[ahduke99]

mine is modded. i dont know if i want to bother with such a small update that will just wipe away all my mods.

[ATT*Mark]

i have heard this closes the jailbreaking window......

[rocco]

There is a new update. I just pluged in my iphone and it gave me a software update.
but it only fixes bugs:frown:
But it is and update:laugh2:

1.0.2

minor fixes

[wildonrio]

i have heard this closes the jailbreaking window......

Can someone please verify this? Because I really don't think I'll do it if this is true. My NES is way too cool to lose for some dumb bug fix update.

[Sdog]

No help for speakerphone:frown:

[Fred87nc]

man after the first update wiped out all my mods I hadn't nodded my iPhone again, that is until 2 days ago , now do I really want to update again ? Is there more estability in this update I still can't surf and listen to music for a long period cause the music stops. Also the first update made my email account take ages to get a new email. What's good in this update ?

[GQmacguy]

I'm a little afraid about the update and my jailbrake'd phone... Oh well i guess I'll bite the bullet :tounge:

[veedubcos]

whats new in this update... I dont notice anything different... anybody else discover any new features or what the bug fixes were?

[scrowner]

I am curious why apple does not release what was fixed. Why do we have to guess for a number of days till it leaks out what was fixed? It certainly is known what was fixed by apple. So, I am reluctant to update untill I read that something was actually in the update that I desire. I have everything working and looking very nice. I will wait for some list of bug fixes.....

[Arcangel2176]

ummmm yea i just updated now it seems itunes can't find my iphone???

[DanUC6]

Had to do a restore...what a pain in the a@@!! I think I am giving up for a while, it was nice to change stuff but not necessarily worth it to have to sit through another restore:angry:

[robd54]

The update failed for me, made me do a restore and i have NEVER modded my phone at all! It's doing the restore now, what a pain, now I have to resync everything. Anyone else have issues updating a NON modded phone?

[coasts]

no trouble here...went as quick as i could imagine. that said, nothing lost, seemingly nothing gained.

[Redfor]

Just Completed the update on mine, been browsing around... Havent noticed any changes yet... Will yell if I find anything.. But I bet they're to fix the jailbreak...

[geordisjd]

Has anybody installed it yet? My iPhone refuses to be upgraded (I have some minor hacking on it) and I'm not sure I want to go through the restore/reinstall-everything bit again.

OK. I missed this thread. What does the upgrade really do? Can somebody sum it up? My phone is being forcefully upgraded by iTunes right now. I swear I didn't ask it to. My contacts better be in there.

I had minor hacking with the system sounds and ringtones that's it and now my iTunes won't sync any of my contacts, music, music videos, photos, etc. Does anyone else have this same problem? I'm wondering how I can fix this, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[tdefriez]

First of all the update failed.... Restore, re-activate, sync and then fixed email (I use Entourage, sorry). Then fix settings (ring-tones etc.). Then tried iFuntastic, no issues, ring-tone download OK, menu rearrange OK - have not got any further. So on Mac 1.0.2 does not kill Jailbreak on Mac but seems to fail and require restore. Not certain if it was me (can't remember if I did it by hand day 1) but email setup required manual or Mail sync (I seem to remember this was not possible day 1, you had to set them up manually if you did not use Mac Mail). I see no other changes.......

[geordisjd]

I did and had to do a restore! :angry:

Here's an explanation from iPhone Atlas: we are being forced to upgrade and erase our hard-to-acquire hacks:

"Apple has released iPhone Update 1.0.2, which can be installed connecting your iPhone to your Mac or Windows system, then selecting the iPhone in iTunes and clicking the “Update” button.

Apple’s cryptic release notes state “this version of the software includes bug fixes and supersedes all previous versions.”

The download is 3.7 MB, and will be automatically applied by iTunes.

Will erase hacks"


Note that on one of our in-house iPhones that had been hacked to allow third-party application installation via the Installer.app single-command method failed to properly receive the update. The phone was forced into recovery mode, after which it had to be restored. This eliminated all non-Apple-sanctioned modification on the device, including the presence of Installer.app and other third-party applications

This is because the iPhone software update performs a validation process on the device, which will fail if it has been jailbroken (a required step in the hacking process). When validation fails, the phone is put into recovery mode, and a restore must be performed. This will also force iTunes to download the “restore” version of the 1.0.2 software update, which is just under 92MB.

Now, if I really knew what that update did other than getting me frustrated...

[eric325]

Just updated mine with no problem. I still have my ringtone from iphoneringtonemaker. Takes about 3 mins.

[OJsakila]

man there is no way I'm doing that update. If you guys say I just HAVE to do it, then maybe. But Ive got that simpsons theme on my phone and it took DAYS to figure that stuff out. God I don't want to do that stupid "update" that updates nothing.

[tarfan]

They Broke mac account upload to web gallery

[coryt87]

I agree with OJ, I am not updating with all of this negative feedback I'm hearing. I like my ringtones and such :)

[seb481]

I've been looking for an hour and I haven't found anything new. I suggest that anyone who notices something new (hopefully an improvement!) posts in here.

[geordisjd]

You know, it really pisses me off that PC users are getting a better deal out of this. I've been using Macs since 1994. OK, I've used PC's, and it still won't make me change platforms, but why is it that "they" have a better deal with the iPhone than "we" do. Hey, Apple, wake up and tend to your children!

[Kev1000000]

Wifi seems much more reliable.

[jwall]

Grrrrrrr not happy about it

J

[Eiko]

WiFi is WAY faster ... 2x here as a matter of fact. Was getting a typical 1,400 before, now over 3,500.

I've tried to crash Safari, no "luck" so far.

switching between apps "seems" faster/snappier.

[tdefriez]

And still it forced me to spend 2 hours recovering, syncing etc..... I had once used Jailbreak to change nothing (just to set it worked and put the system back in to the clink) and, like I stated, iFuntastic still works... If I could find the benefit.................

[SF_VR6]

That's because we have 3G now! Do you see the 3G icon on the upper left?

j/k. how are you guys testing your wifi speed?

[geordisjd]

I've been looking for an hour and I haven't found anything new. I suggest that anyone who notices something new (hopefully an improvement!) posts in here.

I've noticed that I'm more irritable in the past few hours, clenching my teeth, and occasionally voicing colorful metaphors. Does it count? (I got forced to restore without asking for my opinion first, then I had to reinstall everything, including my beloved ringtones).

[Matt]

Installing right now. I will post if I notice anything.

[SF_VR6]

Here are some tidbits regarding this update. (http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/08/21/apple-iphone-update-102-released/)

[Zorn]

The update erased my contacts in the process of applying/syncing, even though I haven't done any hacks of any sort on my phone.

[SF_VR6]

I notice that music can be played much louder through the external speakers without much if any distortion at high volumes (EQ is set to off)

before I would hear distortion at high volumes.

check it out, is it just me?

D-

[geordisjd]

Here are some tidbits regarding this update. (http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/08/21/apple-iphone-update-102-released/)

So, if I read this right, the updates brings on:

1. Possibly louder volume (not that I've noticed)

2. Possibly smoother Safari scrolling (not that I've noticed)

3. Various problems on all kinds of phones, including hacked ones and non-hacked ones

4. Forceful push into recovery mode and restore-without-asking (my experience)

Somebody better come out with some wonderful enhancement that nobody has discovered yet.

Was it worth wasting all my evening going back to what I had before?

[rondz]

Here are some tidbits regarding this update. (http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/08/21/apple-iphone-update-102-released/)

Very nice, that's some cool stuff to know.

[rondz]

So has anyone with Windows XP/Vista tried re-modding their iPhone yet using jailbreak (custom ringtones & system sounds)? Will it allow you to or is it now restricted?

[geordisjd]

I Just Synced And The New Update Is Here 1.02! But It Just Has More Bug Fixes...

Sooo sooorry. Missed the OTHER threads completely.

[slick__deals]

I cannot see number of contacts now in Address Book. That was the only way I used to verify my yahoo and iPhone sync :embarrassed:

[drivefast]

after 1.0.2 update, ibrickr installed and worked flawlessly. i previously had problems with winscp ("connection refused") but didnt insist too much - at that stage i was happy to get my phone back alive. all i can say is that 1.0.2 + ibrickr shock treatment preserved my phone calls and my safari histories. but i had no contacts in my phone book, no music in the ipod, no mods at all, so i cant tell about those.

Yes, we all know what we have'nt gained, what we have lost and sometimes regained...but, please, WHAT have we really gained that we can rejoice about?

[rondz]

So is it safe to re-mod the iPhone with custom ringtones & system sounds with jailbreak? I have a PC running Windows Vista.

i had to do a restore and lost all my mods but i just put jailbreak back on and put all my mods back and all is working :laugh2: i have a laptop with vista

[RTpics]

i remodded my phone with ifuntastic 2.5 no problems (intel mac only):laugh2:

[iBrad]

So far, Ive seen one visual change. While viewing an email. If you look to the top right of the screen, you will see an up and down arrow, so you can see each email without going to the previous screen. I think its new atleast? I dont remember that being there.

that's been there since day one.

[Beau]

hmm... The ability for the iPhone to auto connect to my Linksys router was really shaky. I pretty much always had to manually reestablish connectivity after waking the phone, turning wifi back on, or coming back into range.

Now nothing I do seems to shake the connection, it reconnects automatically with ease.

[wildonrio]

I think I'm gonna pass on this update guys. I just modded for the first time last night and it took me hours to figure out. I'm really not in the mood to lose all my hacks to another one of Apple's famous worthless "updates".

Good idea if you don't mind the minor bugs. Mine was running solidly on 1.01 but I decided to update off impulse. I lost all my hacks, now I gotta redo them, damnit!

[megapopular]

Ha! There is a "Clear Cache" Option Under Safari Settings... Wasn't there before!

I think I'm seeing something similar. WiFi seems to be much more reliable. But maybe it's just because the iPhone was just completely reset and updated and now it feels better. :laugh2:

I actually think there was. Not sure though.

Just updated my iphone. My unhacked iphone performed it flawlessly.

Now how about some real/major update/additions cupertino?

[joe]

While some may be disappointed that there are only bug fixes with these first two updates (I feel that way a little), I think it's great Apple has delivered two updates and the iPhone hasn't been out for two months yet.

Uhm the first updwte wwas for security which did nothing and the second one didnt do much either

[RyanFavre]

Not entirely true. The first one fix wifi issues.

[RyanFavre]

I've noticed that I'm more irritable in the past few hours, clenching my teeth, and occasionally voicing colorful metaphors. Does it count? (I got forced to restore without asking for my opinion first, then I had to reinstall everything, including my beloved ringtones).


Should have known that this was possible when you modded your iphone.

[iCop]

Things I have noticed:

1. Music and web surfing work together without music crashing... ITS ABOUT TIME!! (thank you apple)

2. Wifi seems to connect MUCH faster and stays connected.

3. I was able to remod my phone with no problems

4. My phone was well modded before the update and I didn't get a single error (I made sure to restore BEFORE I even tried to update because I knew it would make me do that anyway).

5. Scrolling in safari is MUCH SMOOTHER while pages are loading
My phone looks like it did before now that I modded it again (I am getting pretty quick at modding now) and has the new update.

6. Speaker volume is MUCH louder and clearer (at least for me)

[joe]

Uhm the first updwte wwas for security which did nothing and the second one didnt do much either

You sure about that? Might want to read through the 1.0.1 Update thread.

If 1.0.2 Update didn't do much, what did it really do? I betting that "bug fixes" can cover a lot of things.

[macgirl]

i had no problems with the update. i synced my iphone beforehand (just in case i did have to do a restore), downloaded the update and installed it. NO RESTORE for me, though i didn't do anything special to avoid it. i had not modded my iphone in any way.

[Tinman]

Very LITTLE was changed with this update.

"Alright, here's the skinny on what's changed in the new iPhone firmware (1.0.2):

- /private/var/db/localtime has been changed from a file to a symlink, looks like a fix related to time zones.

- The kernel caches in /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/ have been changed. So a few changes in the kernel. The new kernels are actually smaller by about 6 kilobytes.

- The Info.plist for the Multitouch driver in /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMultitouchSPI.kext has been changed. This corresponds with what appears to be reprogrammed multitouch firmware, possibly fixing some multitouch issues for some.

- A few files have been rearranged, for the IOKit, MultitouchSupport, OfficeImport, and System frameworks (/System/Library/Frameworks). Looks like they've replaced some static folders with symlinks into the Versions folder of each framework. Possibly a backward compatibility move? I'm just thinking out loud here. Might just be a "prettiness" upgrade for the iPhone devs at Apple.

- dtmf-#.aif and dtmf-*.aif in the TelephonyUI framework have both been changed. I have no idea why; the sound files that play when you hit * and # on the phone keypad are in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds, not with the TelephonyUI framework. New files are about 4kb smaller.

- /usr/libexec/lockdownd has been changed, now it's 8 bytes longer. I'll infer that there was only one bug fixed in the Lockdown daemon, possibly addressing some synchronization or activation issues.

What does all this mean?

- No new application features, and no new applications.
- A few bug fixes but nothing major.

All in all a disappointing update. Let's hope the next one brings us some more finger candy to chew on.

Lastly, I have updated iBrickr (http://ibrickr.com/) to work with the new firmware. Check it out if you have Windows and want an easy way to install ringtones and apps..."

http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/iphone-firmware-102-released-and-analyzed-hopes-for-new-features

I installed it, and of course had to restore because of mods. But this time I used iBrickr to get it out of jail. Worked well.

I just sent a photo to my .mac web gallery - worked fine. What is the problem you are having?

[Paul830]

I downloaded 1.0.2 last night. My phone did the usual power down and re-boot after the install. It seemed to go ok... made several calls... looked at all aps, no changes noted. Put my phone in it's dock... the phone alarm went off this morning at the usual time. After I turned the alarm off, the phone locked up... nothing... home key didn't work, sleep key didn't work... Called Apple support. They had me do a "soft" re-boot and all seems ok now. They didn't seem to have a clue as to what might have happended. Anyone else had this problem. BTW, the "soft re-boot" doesn't erase any of your data.
Thanks, Paul

I seriously doubt the "prettiness upgrade" for apple dev's comment. A company like Apple would not release changes to the phones of the masses at this early critical stage just for the sake of code prettiness. I suspect it's prepping for changes to come (e.g., support for multiple versions) or that it is fixing a bug (e.g., some code relied on the the specific version directory scheme and was not working properly because the directories weren't set up properly).

[Silverado]

I am curious why apple does not release what was fixed. Why do we have to guess for a number of days till it leaks out what was fixed? It certainly is known what was fixed by apple. So, I am reluctant to update untill I read that something was actually in the update that I desire. I have everything working and looking very nice. I will wait for some list of bug fixes.....
Many companies do this. They figure if the problems fixed weren't highly publicized, why publicize that you had them when you fix them?

Even when you hear announcements of what's been fixed, those are usually the big, known problems. Many other small fixes get slipped in without being announced.

[JeffBobula]

WOW! MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SUPPORT AND iChat Mobile!

Holy crap!

...getting really sick of these unclever, unfunny, braindead posts.

[Silverado]

Just because the update doesn't do anything very visible, doesn't mean that it did nothing. There is cost as well as risk involved in releasing updates (i.e., a small percentage of users might have update issues and require support or at the very least be very upset), so companies are not going to release updates that are worthless. They could be fixing security problems or performance/lockup problems. They often do not publicize the issues fixed if they weren't highly publicized to begin with.

[Silverado]

...getting really sick of these unclever, unfunny, braindead posts.

I agree. The less noise and mis-information the better.

[JeffBobula]

Im still on 1.0 and that feature is still available. :smile:

Nope. I have not updated yet and I have those arrows.

I am still waiting to read about some improvement that makes this update worth while to do. I am sticking with 1.0.1 and the mods I have.

[aggieman]

no noticeable differences here. i have noticed my phone runs slightly less sluggish than before the install, but that may not have anything to do with the update.

[311miT311]

someone said their update was only like 3.2 MB? the one ive "been" downloading is like 91.2 MB and its taking forever....not enjoying this...

[Eiko]

All I can say is as of the update, the wifi speeds are in fact better, unless the two tests I use were changed in some way on the same day as the release. I've checked speed 10+ times since the update and the results are the same... 2x (or better) than the week before, on the same network connection (with no changes).

[aggieman]

someone said their update was only like 3.2 MB? the one ive "been" downloading is like 91.2 MB and its taking forever....not enjoying this...

have you installed the first update? maybe it is downloading it as well as the second update?

[311miT311]

have you installed the first update? maybe it is downloading it as well as the second update?

no i alrdy downloaded the first one.... maybe they are givin me all the cool apps noone else got!? ahaha doubt it but still, this is a big update apparantly

[aggieman]

no i alrdy downloaded the first one.... maybe they are givin me all the cool apps noone else got!? ahaha doubt it but still, this is a big update apparantly

haha yeah maybe that's it. actually this update is only 3.7 MB. If i were you I'd close out iTunes and start the download over.

[311miT311]

haha yeah maybe that's it. actually this update is only 3.7 MB. If i were you I'd close out iTunes and start the download over.

son of a b*tch haha
after waiting for like 45 minutes, i decided to close down itunes and reopen it.... just pressed restore cuz i was doing that anways... and now im back to waiting 45 minutes for that 91.2 MB update... aggie- u rock! haha just messin

[311miT311]

wierd.. i cancelled it again, and just clicked update not restore.. and voila! 3.7MB of update almost done! wonder if thats just how it is during restore...

[aggieman]

wierd.. i cancelled it again, and just clicked update not restore.. and voila! 3.7MB of update almost done! wonder if thats just how it is during restore...

that is weird. mine just downloaded and was done in about 3 minutes. i haven't done any mods to my phone, not even ringtones since 1.0.1 restored my phone. maybe that has something to do with it.

i have no idea, i dont have any mods or anything so who knows.. just finished the update though and its all good... still having trouble connecting to my wifi at my house though:frown:

[Hawk]

I'm thinking that the new update might be to address things like the shaky bluetooth connectivity some users seem to be experiencing. It's pure speculation, but would make sense since they just released the Apple headset just a couple weeks (or less) ago. Remember a lot of people were complaining about static and unpairing. I am curious to see if anyone is still having those problems after the 1.0.2 update. That's lost revenue when your trying to sell an expensive accessory, and they keep getting returned due to piss-poor performance.
I also think that there might be a little better battery management code in there. Again pure speculation, but would make sense.

Unlike Microsoft, I believe that Apple is going to address everything with the core OS first, before putting any additional apps or features out there, so I highly doubt that there will be anything noticable for the next couple updates - unless they actually publicly announce new features with the update.

Ok for those with modded phones who did the update, did you lose your contacts? Is there a way I can back up my contacts before updating so I dont lose them?
I dont mind remodding the phone again since now I know how to do it, it will go alot faster than the last time :) But I do NOT want to re add my contacts one by one again, that was a pain in my butt!

You can back up your contacts in itunes. Simply, look under the info tab of the iphone and check the contacts box. When it asks, select MERGE info do not replace anything.

[HDS]

Ok, I think I have found a change the update made.

Email: I have 3 accounts setup on my iphoine but I check them individually so not to have to go through them all. Well now when I go to the root email list it auto checks them all without going into the accounts.

thank you soo much! I will do that tonight when I get home

[umcanesin08]

well i just took the plunge and it is installing, im affraid to check back because I used Ifuntastic but will have to eventually. Did anyone else who used that just for ringtones have to restore? please say no

EDIT: well apparently i didnt get lucky, it says there was an error and the iphone has to be restored =(

[rasputinj]

I will wait until tonight to do the update, I just finished installing apps last night and will need to have an hour or so to do ringtones, custom dialer, icons, ringtones, alerts, and apps again.

When I did 1.0.1 I lost EDGE and Visual Voicemail for a day.

[shawnhimself]

For those on the month-to-month plans, the account balance used to flash after every transaction and it was extremely annoying. Mine hasn't done it since the update...

[mediarite]

Looks like some CSS rendering issues in Safari have been resolved.

[fosterhere]

man there is no way I'm doing that update. If you guys say I just HAVE to do it, then maybe. But Ive got that simpsons theme on my phone and it took DAYS to figure that stuff out. God I don't want to do that stupid "update" that updates nothing.

This whole thing baffles my freaking mind. WHY WHY WHY is a silly ringtone so important that anyone would spend so much time and effort only to have it reset every time a valid OEM update becomes available. :gasp:

I mean if you told me there was a hack that gave me C&P, or a hack that would support flash, or picture messaging, or download content directly from iTunes, then I would be hacking my ever loving A$$ off. But for a simpson ringtone naaaaaaaaa I don't think so.

My update took 30 sec, no noticeable improvement but then again I never dread updates cause I have not hacked my iPhone ;)

[darrinsden]

one of the big things that I have noticed, is the suppression of att messages for data transactions

on a goplan for the moment till we switch to a family plan, so hated everytime i checked mail over edge, i would get a message saying that i had used $0.00 in that transaction and would have to dismiss it..

still get it with calls though..

I seriously doubt the "prettiness upgrade" for apple dev's comment. A company like Apple would not release changes to the phones of the masses at this early critical stage just for the sake of code prettiness. I suspect it's prepping for changes to come (e.g., support for multiple versions)...
Seems like splitting hairs to me.

[rondz]

I don't know about you guys but this is what I've noticed:

-Better wi-fi speed, stable connection, less Safari crashes

-Late night/early morning (lengthy phone sessions) more stable, less failed calls (usually at certain times in the late night/early morning I'd get "CALL FAILED") It might just be my neighborhood, I live like 5-10 miles away from the Oakland International Airport.

-Louder speakers with headphones during phone session

I haven't installed 1.02 yet, but mine has been doing that same email check all along. Sounds like a setting may have simply gotten changed on your phone during the update - this apparently is not a new feature.

I have 5 mail accounts and for as long as I can remember it has always checked all accounts when going to the root screen.

mine also checked all my accounts at the same time since 1.0

[cdbeckman]

Things seems a lot snappier, particularly with safari. Crashes in safari happen a lot less. Brightness seems to be a little higher than what it used to look like at the same point on the slider, but that could be just me, it's pretty hard to tell. Last, and this one I'm very sure on- it's using a lot less battery than before, I'm most of the way through a day without it leaving full charge.

Personal preference maybe? For as much as we have spent on these phones we should be able to personalize our phones as we want. I could care less about the visual mods but the ringtones suck. They are not near loud enough. Besides the ability to use mp3 ringtones has been available on even the most basic phones. You would think a $600 phone would allow this. Myself, i havent installed any ringtines since the first update. I dont have the time pr desire to keep doing such. But its unfortunate apple is witholding this feature from us and even more unfortunate that they are probably doing so so thst they can force you to buy them via itunes in the future.

Tell ya what I wish ATT would make an update :embarrassed: so I can GET and MAKE a call never mind a ringtone. Hey but to each his/her own.

[monkeysrock0622]

well i have pretty much noticed the same things as everyone else except i had ringtones on before i updated and i still have them on. I used iphoneringtonemaker to make my ringtones which was talked about in a thread somewhere in the discussion forum. I suggest using that if the only "mod" you have is ringtones and you are willing to pay $10 for the program. It works good and I only downloaded the test version of it.

[HDS]

Update change found: Afte the update, the update changed my mail settings :laugh2:

[edmartin]

At least one thing that's not fixed in 1.0.2 is that when you delete a message on the iPhone on an Exchange account, it still does not delete it on the Exchange server - it just shows it as read. Argh.

[antithetic]

This is an at&t change which is not related to the firmware update. Just concidental timing.

[brojimh]

Ha! There is a "Clear Cache" Option Under Safari Settings... Wasn't there before!
Clear Cache button has always been there.

[ATT*Mark]

its funny to read everyones "wishfull thinking" changes.....

90% of the "updates" people are seeing , were there from the beginning and the other 10% is pure speculation lol.

[greenjbhsd]

So far, Ive seen one visual change. While viewing an email. If you look to the top right of the screen, you will see an up and down arrow, so you can see each email without going to the previous screen. I think its new atleast? I dont remember that being there.

That has always been there for me. I don't think that is new.

[greenjbhsd]

Opps double post.

Since I use that ring maker mod that does not seem to be impacted by this change, and it seems it will not need to be restored as well I will take the plunge. If it does anything with snappiness and anything with edge or wifi performance I am so there.

Anyone notice if the signal strength fluctuates less? I am one of those people that can have my phone in one place on my desk and have it range from no service to 5 bars without touching the device (or changing what around it is blocking signal). Just curious, that is one of my biggest annoyances with the device. Well, that and the fact that it seems when it is in standby mode it really powers down the antenna (assumption) since I sometimes have to sleep wake cycle it once or twice to get any bars.

He said it was a Simpsons theme, which sounds like a lot more than just a ring tone. Themes usually involve changing all of the icons as well, which (if he designed them) could have taken him hours or even days. I agree with him that this small update would not be worth the hassle.

[mileshb3]

Not sure what fixes were definitely included with the 1.0.2 update, but my You Tube never worked. It would find and display the various films, but as late as yesterday afternoon would not run them. Had to hit the play button every couple of seconds and I was wondering if this was ever going to be a feature I would use...

With the 1.0.2 update, the films actually play without further intervention.

Miles

[tc2000chartreader]

I could barely hear my music using the speaker until this update. Now if I make it full volume, it is way too loud. Very nice.

[greenjbhsd]

Well it sounds like this might be worth updating to then. Good info, keep it coming!

[Iceblinkluck]

For those testing wi fi speed, are you using an actual website to test download speed? Or are you just citing a anecdotal information? I found that before and after the update I was about the same speed: 1031 KBs on wi-fi.

This is on http://iphonenetworktest.com.

[mogz]

OK my phone is modded and I updated fine, but now the iphone tab on my itunes shows nothing...

I can't sync back stuff that I have because when I click on the iphone tab nothing happens...

Anyone with this issue?

[TomTomTuning]

I just updated mine..

I got the error and i had to restore my phone.
Now i am syncing every thing back up and its taking for ever.

lol to much music/video/podcast's

I haven't gotten the chance to try it out since the update.
But once i am done uploading then i will give it a shot.

Sucks all my hacks are gone, but nothing serious.

[Crash Override]

I noticed a big difference in call volume through the earphones while at the gym today.
Not sure if it's related, but when I called the Wife's work # from my iPhone, she said I sounded louder to her as well.:laugh2:

I know, it's pretty funny. It's like a bunch of villagers seeing the Virgin Marry in tree bark. :tounge:

lol true enough but you really want an update to do SOMETHING noticable. Especially with so many obvious things that could be fixed or improved. People may or not be patient but you can't blame them for having hope when an update finally does appear. This one appears to do less than the first. I have no problem if it fixed some infrastructure issues only. It would have been nice if we'd at least been thrown a small bone...

[eric325]

Updated mine last night. browse through it - did not notice anything. I know for sure the speaker volume is still the same as before.

[mittenman]

My iPhone can now sustain a cold fusion reaction, it totally couldn't do that before!!

[Rapidfurious]

Ive noticed a change.

Throughout my use of 1.0.1 safari crashed twice at most. Today, in 1.0.2 it crashed 3x's. :tounge:

Coincidence I'm sure, but an inconvenient one at that.

[rittchard]

This may be one of those placebo efffects, but so far it seems like my email is running much better than the last update. I can't quantify it exactly, but I was having a lot of hangups and freezes in the last patch. And I would constantly see the little spinning wheel going even after the message said it was done updating. Sometimes it would freeze up, other times it would just keep spinning a while and then stop, then start up again kind of randomly. Now it shuts off and everything seems smoother once it's stopped. We'll see how long that lasts or if it's all in my head :2cool:.

I'm hoping that the email issue was also what was causing what seemed like worse battery times during that last update, and that it will improve closer to what I was getting with the original release.

[snowcrash]

This may just be me or something going on in my area or with my iPhone (starting to think i got a lemon) but my service has gone DOWN HILL. I live in an area where we have a weak signal anyway but now its gone to almost useless/unusable since the update last night. My brother's iPhone even while sitting right next to me isnt having the same "issue" and he didnt do the update yet

[brojimh]

my phone was jailbroken as well.
I restored first, then it automatically downloaded and installed the updated version of software.
Then it asked if I wanted to restore the backup. I clicked yes.
Restored my phone, rebooted, notes there, contacts there, favorites there.
It erased my email passwords--put them back in.
It even told me the phone was activated.
But everytime I try to use EDGE (Safari, YouTube, Email) it gives me the following error message: "Could not activate EDGE. You are not subscribed to EDGE."
It worked fine before. . .any ideas?

Alright so please excuse me if I missed something within' these last couple of threads. So if your iPhone was Jailbroken and you restored it first, does that mean you were able to install the update problem free without any of those errors people are talking about? Or was the forceful restore & recover inevitable to all of those who Jailbroke their iPhones? That's my main concern, I just need a head's up for the next update that way I can restore first next time, instead of doing check and install updates right away.

No, I restored FIRST before I upgraded. When I did that it automatically began and downloaded the new version to reboot with.

I did it with NO errors whatsoever.

But, then look what's happened now. . .No one can tell me why.

UPDATE:

well, well, well. I called Apple Care, they had me cycle Airplane Mode, then power cycle the phone. Then they told me to call AT&T at their special number directly to iPhone Support (877-777-4192), which was not a valid number.

I then called AT&T myself, after a few things (same as before) they xfer me to Apple Care. Then not long after the Apple Care guy xfer me to AT&T but stayed on the phone with me.

They took my data plan off then added it back. . .still didn't work. Hung up with them and the Apple Care guy said the following:
There's only 4 things that can be wrong with this problem:
1. The Data Plan/EDGE Provisions aren't set correctly (they were)
2. The EDGE Service is out in my area (according to AT&T, it isn't)
3. Bad SIM Card
4. The antenna in my phone that picks up EDGE & Wi-fi not working.

It still makes/receives calls and sends/receives texts fine. (I did not know there was a separate antenna for EDGE/Wi-fi!)

Sooooo, I have to get a new SIM Card from AT&T and activate. If it still doesn't work he will make an appointment for me @ the Apple Store to turn it in for repairs while getting a FREE loaner.

Nice guy, even sent me an email w/ his contact info.

He would NOT admit that it had anything to do with the upgrade to 1.02.

Kinda strange that RIGHT before I updated the software (I'm talking about seconds before) it was working fine then all of a sudden. . .poof!

[up10ad]

I don't understand all the comments about wifi being faster; wifi speed is ultimately limited by the speed of the connection to which the wireless router is connected. In other words, if my home network has only 512K DSL, then the wifi max will be limited by that speed.

The edge connection is totally different story. My edge has always tested at about 56 to 70K, no better. I test using DSL Reports iPhone test which can test moibile or broadband (wifi). It is located at http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html. It shows that overall edge tests averaged 124K (over 5,000 tests) but the most recent 24 hours average is 164K.

Don't really know what to make of that, but there it is. :confused:

[geordisjd]

I Just Synced And The New Update Is Here 1.02! But It Just Has More Bug Fixes...

I already told the sad story of wasting my evening yesterday, but today it was worse.
I connected iPhone to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it. It wanted me to restore again.
I did. Then, it told me I couldn't sync because my total capacity was 265 MB!
I had to restore again, and then sync again.
I still have my contacts, but everything else is gone: favorites, all my mail, SMS, all preferences like weather, stocks and more important, ALL MY NOTES.
And I faithfully sync'd every day, so "I wouldn't lose anything".
Not fair.

Tell me again what this update is supposed to do, short of erasing everything?

[up10ad]

Um... in San Diego I can get cable access with Cox at 12 Mbps.
That's great, I'm limited at about 6M. If I test from my wired PC (bypassing the wireless) I get 5410Kbps. If I test via a wireless laptop I get 3505Kbps. If I test via my iphone using wifi I get about 3133Kbps. So, I see a fair decrease in throughput just by using the wireless and an additional small decrease using the iphone, but I don't thinhk it is significant.

I'm pretty happy with my iphone wifi, but the edge connection certainly sucks. What are others getting using the DSL Reports (http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html.)iphone test using edge? My 70K is slow.

well, I went by and got a new SIM Card, came home and activated/synced it. Still no luck--NO EDGE. I am emailing the Apple rep tonight and should get an appointment tomorrow to go to the Apple Store here and get a free loaner while they send mine in for repair. Will keep everyone posted.

Yes, it is very good to know that they stand behind this phone.

To be honest it has made me even less afraid actually. . . because I know that they will do what they can to help me out.

The Apple Care rep I got told me that he's seen several phones have this issue and all but about 4 have been fixed just with either a power cycle on the phone or AT&T taking the data plan off and putting back on.

He said my problem not being fixed was very unusual.

[JiggyMatt]

many people said they noticed no changes but I can say with certainty that my volume in calls, speaker, video, audio ECT is at LEAST 2x as loud more like 3x. Either that's a testimate to how low my volume was before(most likely) or something was changed internally to make it louder, possibly by accident (not as likely) either way, I am thrilled that my volume is so much louder!!!

On calls tonight I had to turn it down... actually hurt my ear.

[hexonxonx]

Ha! There is a "Clear Cache" Option Under Safari Settings... Wasn't there before!

Yes, it was there from the beginning. I remember reading that it was a good idea to clear the cache out every so often to keep Safari working good.

[snowcrash]

So I my service went to crap after the install like mentioned in my earlier post. All day it was unusable. I just tried a restore and for the last 30 mins i've had NO SERVICE at all. Not sure what this update did to others but it messed up my phone to the point of it being just a widescreen iPod. :angry: I'm really about to toss the thing out the window!!!!!

[SkyyBoy]

I had absolutely NO mods on my phone.
Update DID not go succeed, and put my phone into "restore" mode. I had to do a FULL restore. After the restore I had 1.0.2, but it did NOT restore my notes, stocks, weather cities, mail accounts, clock settings, etc. I had to manually re-input ALL of them. It was easier to update my WM6 devices (and they were a PITA to update!)
what a waste of time and POS!!! :angry::angry::angry::angry:

[OJsakila]

man I am so sorry to here about these bad luck stories. I had my phone nodded with ringers system sounds and that simpsons theme. Update took about ten minutes but I told it to do full default restore. Of course I lost my music but everything else was replaced with the backup files on my pc. I then added ibrickr and re installed the theme and sounds. Went smooths as silk with no problems. I did do the update and restore in the middle of the night when there might have been less traffic....

[JiggyMatt]

Yeah that sucks that everyone is having trouble with the updates. Are you guys that are having trouble modding?

[Silverado]

Seems like splitting hairs to me.

You think that "prettiness upgrade" is equivalent to "fixing directory structure to fix a bug"? That would be splitting hairs. I see these two statements to be considerably different. So I don't see my comment as splitting hairs.

[PhatKid]

I'll wait.

My beef is really in the restore process. I accept that there is a need to restore but what annoys me is this:

Synching does not auto save the following, so last night i synched the iphone before upgrading, the following were gone afterwards:

1) Camera Photos
2) passwords for Wifi
3) Passwords for email accounts
4) Notes

The Wifi wouldnt connect so i cleared all network settings and soft booted a few times and then reset up my email accounts and after about 3 hours everything seems to now be where it was. (except for the missing items like Device photos and notes which im afraid are perm gone..) I know i should have manually saved these off (well the photos), but i forgot that step. But why wont the synch process handle this for me!!!

Surely this is an easy fix? why dont they fix that first and then most folks wont mind the restore process.

[PhatKid]

I don't understand why people are losing their notes when they restore. I've had to restore my phone several times for various reasons and I have always gotten my notes back.

Well the WiFi and email passwords is normal: they aren't backed up (understandable, I suppose--it took me maybe 3 minutes to set them back up).

As for camera photos, if you are going to mod you need to understand to get the photos off the iPhone before updating. I lost a few photos this time around. Fortunaly I didn't lose any that were important, but next time I'll know better.

Although not as easy to back up as photos, I do regularly backup notes.db to my computer. I have tested it, and this file can be restored just fine (var\root\Library\Notes\notes.db). Before applying the next update I will be sure to backup notes.db first.

That's great, I'm limited at about 6M. If I test from my wired PC (bypassing the wireless) I get 5410Kbps. If I test via a wireless laptop I get 3505Kbps. If I test via my iphone using wifi I get about 3133Kbps. So, I see a fair decrease in throughput just by using the wireless and an additional small decrease using the iphone, but I don't thinhk it is significant.

I'm pretty happy with my iphone wifi, but the edge connection certainly sucks. What are others getting using the DSL Reports (http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html.)iphone test using edge? My 70K is slow.

If you can configure your router to G mode only instead of mixed mode B and G you should see some improvement in speed.

[brittt1]

if you are going to mod you need to understand to get the photos off the iPhone before updating.

People that havent modded have had to restore and could happen at any point to any of us...there is no excuse that these are not synch'd!! as for the passwords why wouldnt these get synch'd? they can easily be stored encrypted...Like the iphone is any safer than my home pc!

Photos and notes are never synced, so I don't know what the point is here. Seems pretty simple to backup photos before updating. And I explained how all you need to do is copy one file to backup notes. You can sit here and whine or do something about it. I chose to do something about it so will now backup camera photos, Notes, and anything else I want to keep before updating in the future.

That said I haven't seen too many non-modders that have had to restore.



as for the passwords why wouldnt these get synch'd? they can easily be stored encrypted...Like the iphone is any safer than my home pc!Email and WiFi passwords do not get backed up. I don't know what else to say other than it is obviously by-design.


Finally, if you really want to have the upgrades go as smooth as possible restore your iPhone and don't mod anything afterwards. It's as simple as that.

After reading the forum the last day or two I was extremely hesitant to do the update. I finally decided after getting home from work yesterday that even though there were a few people that said their phones were unmodded and still had problems with the update, (mine's not modded), I'd take the plunge. It took about 3 to 4 minutes with no problems whatsover. OTOH, I'll also say that I've not noticed much difference in performance, but my battery, Safari, ringer & speakerphone volume, etc. has always seemed to work to my satisfaction, and so far I've been very pleased with the overall performance of my iPhone. Hopefully there'll be more significant updates in the future that most everyone will be happy about. Cheers !!

ANOTHER UPDATE:
well, I went by and got a new SIM Card, came home and activated/synced it. Still no luck--NO EDGE. I am emailing the Apple rep tonight and should get an appointment tomorrow to go to the Apple Store here and get a free loaner while they send mine in for repair. Will keep everyone posted.

NEXT UPDATE:
Got the new SIM Card last night, went home and activated it, still no EDGE and will not go into wi-fi mode. It recognizes my home network and joins it but it will not go into wi-fi mode even when I have no AT&T signal at all.

Been back on the phone w/ Apple Care today. They made an appointment for me at 8:00pm tonight to put my SIM Card in a loaner phone. If it works then it was my phone, if it still doesn't it is AT&T.

If it's my phone they will either do a swap for a new one right there or give me a free loaner and send mine off for repair.

Will keep everyone updated.

i am 'whining' if thats what YOU want to call it, about the fact that if all of a sudden you or anyone connects to Itunes to Synch and an error occurs and unfortunatley it forces you to restore (MOD or NOT) you lose ALL that particular data.....if you had read my first post, you would have understood when i said ' I accept that there is a need to restore but what annoys me is this' thats right I accept it as I have modded. But some folks havent modded and for various reasons have had to restore their Iphone, (without knowing it was going to happen, thus losing photos or notes). So i was questioning why they (apple) dont synch all data which to some people is equally as valuable. btw I wasnt looking for you to agree with me.

[jeffprobertson]

WOW! MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SUPPORT AND iChat Mobile!

If this is true that is great!

[Skipper]

Well, not sure if it is related to the update, but I updated and restored last night... Now when I am on a call and put the phone to my ear, the screen stays on the whole time as if I am using a regular app, then after a minute it goes into auto-lock. Therefore, when I finish the call and pull the phone from my ear, the screen is still off as the call goes on. It comes back when the other party hangs up or I press the sleep button.

WTF???
Is this a setting that I have to reset after the update? is anyone else having this problem?

[wildonrio]

I haven't read this whole conversation, but may I suggest always syncing, restoring, and THEN updating instead of simply syncing and then updating, or even worse, just updating? This avoids all problems, no matter what the case - modded or unmodded.

I really appreciate the info but I need you to walk me through the process; if you will. I really want to backup my notes. Thanks

[snowcrash]

Photos and notes are never synced, so I don't know what the point is here.


Notes dont sync? Thats news to me. Well maybe to the point that you dont "read" them on your computer, but they DO GET BACKED UP. As long as I sync before I do a restore once the restore is done EVERYTHING is back the way it was. (other then Wifi keys, e-mail passwords, and photos taken with the iPhone)

When I sync then restore (just re-did it before i posted to double check what I still had and what i didnt have) My phone is just like it was 20 mins ago. Everything from my old txt messages, NOTES, recent calls, bookmarks, etc. Not one thing is gone from my phone. Yes if you dont save the photos (taken with the iPhone) those will not be back on the phone.

[Tinman]

Notes dont sync? Thats news to me.
Why would it be news? They have never synced.

As far as being backed up, I wouldn't rely on that as I and others have lost notes after a restore. The only foolproof way to backup noted is to make a copy of notes.db.

Well I guess we are playing semantics then. Backed up / Synced. Ok I got you and yes the only "foolproof" way would be to make a copy of that file but on that note the only foolproof way to back up anything is to make a exact copy of it (twice in case the backup gets messed up, then you have a backup of a backup). I have modded my phone, synced it, backed it up, everything restored it many many times and never lost my notes. So if we are splitting hairs then YES they dont sync but they DO get backed up. And YES the only foolproof way is to back up the notes.db file itself.

[x999x]

I've never backed up my notes manually, however they were retained after the update. I synced, then clicked the restore button when I did my update. Itunes prompted me to "Restore and Update?" to which I answered yes.

The only thing i backed up was my camera roll, it was the only thing mentioned worth doing over at tuaw.

[mittenman]

Anyway, back to the topic. Just updated earlier with no issues. Took like 3 minutes and having no problems thus far.

[coryt87]

I restored than updated on my already modded phone, synced everything back on and jailbreaked it and modded it again. No problems thus far. Speakerphone may be slightly louder, but I probably wouldn't have said that if I hadn't seen this thread.

[x999x]

I had 2 iphones side by side, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, I did not notice any difference in the speaker volume when they both handled the same tasks.

The "only" thing I have noticed, and I'm not even sure it's new, is the magnifying glass on emails that contain image attachments. Click and hold to bring up a magnifying glass.

[Arcangel2176]

ok WTF!!!! all of my photo library pics are gone!!!!

[brojimh]

HOPEFULLY THE LAST UPDATE:
Got to the Apple Store, waited on the Genius Bar guy about 5 minutes. 5 minutes later I was leaving with a brand spanking-new iPhone.

It works. I just got finished activating, updating to 1.02 & syncing and all appears to be well.

EDGE and wi-fi are working properly. Talk about GREAT customer service!

Way to go Apple. . .I am very impressed!

[iLLGT2]

Another fast and flawless update for me! :laugh2:

[junkie]

if only I could connect to the damn restore server from work.

Websense and the fricking routers here SUCK !!

[Fafafoooey]

12 megs is weak, I get 20 megs here in the Chicago area. ;)

Well, I get 30 in NJ. Optimum.

[spyrwebs]

I dont know what im doing wrong but i did two restores in the past and i never had notes, photos, emails, passwords, and sms restore itself. I dont get how others are getting their notes and sms back. I back up my phone and synced it before the restore. After that it woud ask to restore from the backup. It seems like people are getting a split outcome on this. I went through every little thing in iTunes for this option but theres nothing for this. Mayb because im running XP.

[Tinman]

Well I guess we are playing semantics then.

No. I wanted to make a distinction as in my opinion there is a big difference between backing up and syncing. To be sure I would much rather the iPhone truly did sync notes.

Ok I got you and yes the only "foolproof" way would be to make a copy of that file but on that note the only foolproof way to back up anything is to make a exact copy of it (twice in case the backup gets messed up, then you have a backup of a backup).

That's great, though others have reported losing notes. That said I ain't the one complaining about it anyway.

I really appreciate the info but I need you to walk me through the process; if you will. I really want to backup my notes. Thanks
Easiest method:

1.) Download iBrickr and unzip into an empty folder on your computer (e.g., \ibrickr).

2.) Start up ibrickr.exe inside the folder created in step 1.

3.) Follow steps in iBrickr to jailbreak the iPhone.

4.) When finished go to Files (within iBrickr) and on the fact iPhone screen navigate to \var\root\Library\Notes.

5.) Click the notes.db file and choose to Download.

In the future just use steps 4 and 5 (no need to go through 1-3).


If you are on a Mac instead of iBrickr use Breezy instead:

what dose jailbreak do??[]

[SmartAlx]

Does this update fix the Safari crashing bug? People said 1.0.1 fixed it but they were wrong! Wrong wrong wrong. Safari still crashes just as often as it did before the first update. And I turn my iPhone off every night.

[tharmsen]

It gets your phone out of jail, of course.

:2cool:

It's used to unlock your phone so you may install 3rd party apps dude.

[Lacrosse4life31]

This is pissing me off, I can't download the new update at all because I "lost connection" or whatever, I can't even dowload the new Itunes! my internet is obviously working fine and this is the only problem i'm having with things! this is pissing me OFFFFF.

[nobbie]

Oh great. I tried to update and iTunes thought the phone had gone into restore mode. I had to force a restore. Now, youtube freezes up! :angry: What do I do now????

[177ike]

Only thing I noticed when I updated from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 was that my battery meter started running down a lot faster than before, probably twice as fast. Interestingly, I performed a hard reset and the battery meter runs down at the same rate it did prior to the version upgrade, if not better than before.

[snowcrash]

Well a couple posts back I said that after the update my iPhone it was just about unusable. Well here is the story. I crushed my iphone in the door a while back. It was fine but service s*cked. I blamed it on just "Well thats ATT over VZW" type of thing. Then after the update it was worse. It might have just been a coincidence but i do think the update changed something. Well a couple days with the phone being unusable i asked my brother if he was having the issues and he said no (he also didnt do the update) then I made him do it. Well come to find out his phone is FINE. When I had "no service" he was at least at 3 bars if not more. And when I had one or two bars he was full service.

Well to make a LONG story short, I went to the apple store today and told my friend about and he hooked me up with a new phone. Came home did the update and the phone is ROCK SOLID. I also got the "better screen" one which was a nice added treat. So i know that the iphone update didnt cause my bad service and it was slamming it in the door, but whatever the update did to my phone did something to make whatever i did worse lol.

Shiny new iphone in hand and cant believe how bad mine was. This is like night and day. Now even thinking about keeping it and not giving it to my youngest brother and getting myself a blackberry (though i still need some BB functions that this cant do)

PS.
I also bought a screen protector and the black rubber incase rubber cover thing. This way hopefully my phone will take a little more abuse then what my last one did lol

[Citsur86]

What the hell! Yours wont connect to internet and they give you a free phone! What is with Apple? Are the people at my stores just big A holes? I had no calls coming through, a 1 inch chunk of the screen not responding to touch. And they tell me, well sir your phones not broken, its just not performing as optimally as you would like it to. What the helll. I am really, really, really, unhappy with apple right now. I had to pay $30 to get a loaner while they send it in a fix it. Meanwhile somewhere else, you drop it, it wont connect to service, and you get a rock solid new one. Not that im mad at you or anything, hell you got lucky, but APPLE :angry:

I "know a guy" basically. He is like a high up Apple guy and he called the store for me. Normally they wouldnt have given me a new phone because "accidental dammage" isnt covered. I could tell the people in the store really didnt want to give me a brand new phone, but like I said I called in a favor. Esp since mine looked liked i beat it with a little hammer.

[Doc Holiday]

I can hear music and sounds through my Apple Bluetooth Headset via selecting the headset in the phone's audio output select. Has this always been possible or new with this update?

[Vpeach]

how do I get a screen capture of my lock screen and battery charging screen.

I tried a few times with taking a screenshot of my lock screen, but the picture would show a black background with no icons.

[tintin]

The one change I have noticed since upgrading to 1.0.2 is that when I post photos to Flickr, the site no longer recognizes that my photo was taken with an iPhone. Consequently, none of the camera EXIF data shows either.

I don't know whether this camera recognition blocking is an intentional change made by Apple or whether it is the result of a bug and/or security fix.

Ha! There is a "Clear Cache" Option Under Safari Settings... Wasn't there before!

I did not and will not update, "Clear Cache" is already there and has been there from day one. I have to many sweet hacks to update for such a limited update offering, sad, sad, sad. I know everyone is disappointed about the update. I guess all of you shouldn't have expected the world. You would think that Apple would have at least released a document explaining what the update included. I'm getting very sour about this whole deal:angry:. M

Everyone is NOT unhappy with this update. I am actually very happy with it. I was waiting and waiting for the iTunes update although I haven't bought anything from it yet, one day soon I will. I love the iPhone.

I've not hacked mine previously and don't care t do so.

[azballbusters]

Couple things I have noticed with the update which may have been there before and I just missed them:

1. Settings: Selectable sound for text messaging
2. Hit space bar twice and it inserts a period
3. efksoft ringtone maker does not seem to work any longer

It still pisses me off that Apple is intent on squeezing every dime from consumers and blocking third party software. You think they would of learned many years ago with their computers that consumers will go elsewhere in time. I understand trying to block people from hacking the phjone to work on other carriers but blocking people from using apps like ring tone makers just so they can rip people off for a buck for a ring tone is insane. FU Apple!

Hi friends,
I bought an iphone which is already unlocked and i have upgraded my iphone to version 1.1.1 which is available in itunes, now my phone displays a message saying that the sim is blocked, is there any source to activate my iphone again? please suggest me. i have searched in the ebay for the unlock software and i finally found a software which unlocks the iphone permanently. it costs 69.5 $.
