I'm sorry it's in the 3GS forum. Whoops anyway I'm on 3.1.2 and it also included a carrier update to 5.6.

So, did the carrier update enable tethering?? (just curious)
and have you noticed any improvement at all in performance?

I actually want to know this from a 3G owner that has it installed.

Just update your iphone through iTunes. It's totally different to Restoring, you wont need to re-sync your stuff back on.

Very doubtful. AFAIK, AT&T has no intention to enable official tethering anytime soon. Your best bet is to stay on 3.0.1 and unoffically tether.

I'm doing that as I type right now however I'm considering restoring it again.

I had updated to 3.1 and was getting terrible battery life and horrible signal performance none of which I experienced before the 3.1 upgrade from 3.0.1.

So I restored 3.1 yesterday and the battery life was excellent yesterday as well as the signal strength, texts no longer took a couple minutes to send etc...

So now I just upgraded to 3.1.2 and I'm thinking I should restore it just for good measure, sure it's a PITA but it ensures the purest form of install so nothing can possibly be messed up.

Hawk I don't see that it allows for tethering. I'm not sure but battery life may be better. I charged it to 100% after the update and it's only been 25 minutes but it's still reading 100%. Seems like it usually would be 98% by now. Again it's way too early to tell.

Seriously, do a hard reset or a reboot. Sometimes the battery jailbroken or stock doesn't always tell the truth.

I did a hard reset as soon as it finished the updates. Yes it has dropped to 99% and it has been 45 minutes. I know way too early to be sure.

Just give it time, it'll probably go from 99% to 76% in no time at all.

John quit being a PITA! Think positive.
