Same situation here. Think the update disables jailbroken phones????

 

Not sure if it disables jailbroken phones, but mine wasn't. Anyways, I left my phone alone for like 30 minutes and tried it again 5 minutes ago and it worked! Just give it some time I guess

 

no

 

mine just started working as well

 

So where do you get to your notes that you sync through iTunes?

I checked stickies and checked the notes widget, nothing.

 

anyone getting an error that says the iphone activation server is unavailable?

 

I do have a question. If I were to put my SIMM into a different phone, would that chafe the AT&T thing to allow me to send mms? I know that with swirlymms, that is something that you had to do to enable mms.

Just a thought.

 

it's in iTunes where you select email accounts, etc. to sync. It's not over the air though, just through iTunes

 

Yea, I've already done that. I saw that you go into the info tab and choose "sync notes" but where does it store the notes you sync? I've already looked in the Stickies app and in the Notes Widget in dashboard and my notes aren't there.

I always thought it was going to be kinda retarded that there simply isn't a "notes" app that it syncs with.

 

oh sorry misread that...they are in Mail under Reminders below your mail accounts.

now the real question is why does Apple think someone needs 3 places to save different notes...now they should all sync.

 

Apparently some people are having trouble with the update. It's seems that yet again Apple's being a little overwhelmed right now. I now realize why they chose release the software update two days before the new hardware so that their servers wouldn't get thoroughly destroyed by both old phone and new phone activations at the same time. Seems like it didn't work.

If in windows and you get an error -9808, try this

 

I'm liking the smooth browsing in Safari... No more waiting for the white and gray crosshatch for a few seconds when scrolling fast... it's still there but loads much quicker.

Not much else I've played with...

 

^uhh what? the cross hatch is definitely still there

 

I think he's just saying you can scroll through it to the bottom of a page and wait for it to load. Instead of scrolling and then getting stuck wating for more to load etc.

 

Can't wait till Friday to get the iPhone 3.0 OS

 

flawless upgrade this evening...

 

LOL.. even peeps on the Christian radio station here in Houston are talking about the update this afternoon!!!

Sounds like many peeps are really happy with this update! How about yall here?

 

I think I got the update done OK....it took about 20 minutes and I also got the pop-up message that Stunna showed above. But I had 12 apps to update. I did them while plugged into my MacBook Pro. They were updated with my iPhone plugged in. But when I unplug the iPhone, the Apps Store still shows (on the iPhone) that I still have App updates to do....yikes.

 

Ahhhh, thanks for the info. Having the notes in Mail is absolutely

There should have been a "notes" application that allowed for quick note taking. I don't use Mail and don't ever plan on it because I use Thunderbird. So much for utilizing the notes sync feature. BLECK!

 

I had mine jailbroken and had an app called categories. It put all my icons in folders. Well after the update, all of my app icons were gone and I had no way to get to them.. So I had to a complete restore. Oh well..

But the update went fine. Can't complain.

Edit.. After the restore, all of my app icons are still missing. They are installed, but still missing. I am going to have to do a restore and not restore the back up.. SIGH...

 

^Swervin, I'm having the same problem. The update wiped out all the apps I had in categories and I can't get them back, even though it says they're installed.

 

was categories from the app store? or jailbroken software?

 

Jailbroken.

I fixed it. I had to do a restore, but I chose the option "Set up new phone" or whatever the one that is the opposite of restore from backup is.

When you choose the first option, you can still import your contact, but nothing else comes back. Also, when you sync your apps, they will re-download from iTunes.. This has been the most painless update. A little bump, but it was self induced. I really liked that all the apps re-downloaded themselves. That was nice.

 

 

I'm working on a way to enable MMS and tethering on AT&T right now, I'll let you know how it goes...

 

wait? so i can update my jailbroken iphone right now and still be able to use it?

fyi, my iphone original has never been activated and i dont have data service for it.

 

I think I can wait a week before I upgrade & jailbreak

 

Question:

If the iPhone can be jailbroken and unlocked at the current moment, what is this "release" on Friday that I'm hearing about from the Dev Team?

 

^ I'm hoping for a one-click kind of thing Less chances of something going wrong.

 

alright bitches this is for you adventerous mo fuckas only. How to enable tethering (and possibly MMS) on AT&T w/ iPhone 3.0.

You're gonna need a couple things first itunes 8.2 pre release and AT&T carrier files version 5.0 (links provided)

1. uninstall iTunes 8.2 then go to the iTunes music folder and move the itunes library files to another folder.

2. download iTunes 8.2 http://www.iphoneheat.com/2009/04/do...2-pre-release/

for you windows x64 users like myself the pre-release version linked above will install and work fine even though it gives you a warning.

3. download AT&T 5.0 carrier file.
for mac users the files is here: http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/iphonetetheringfile.dmg
for PC users, PM me your email address and I'll send you the carrier file.

4. open itunes 8.2 pre-release (will only work if you've already moved the iTunes library files to another folder)

5. connect iPhone then option-click (for mac) or shift-click (for PC) on the "check for updates" button and then choose the AT&T.ipcc file and it should update your phone in just a couple seconds.
for PC users make sure you choose ipcc from the "file type" drop down list on the right.


6. Restart your phone.

7. once it restarts go to settings > general > network > internet tethering

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25469567@N06/3637961614/" title="IMG_0188 by klxz79, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3637961614_da06a78501_o.png" width="320" height="480" alt="IMG_0188" /></a>

8. connect your phone and in Windows it'll look something like this (I'm running windows 7, Vista is slightly different)

then your phone should look something like this

here's the walk through guide to enable MMS but I can't do it cause I don't have another AT&T MMS capable phone (required).
http://gizmodo.com/5202406/how-to-en...e-30-right-now

 

WTF! when I plugged in my phone to the iMac and tried to go through the process of tethering to a Mac, I connected the phone and turned on tethering and then it asks me if I want to use usb or bluetooth then I tried to setup the new network adapter that OS X found. Then out of nowhere it canceled and the iPhone tethering screen disappears as does the tethering option in the iPhones network preferences. I then restarted the phone and the tethering option is still gone from the preferences screen.

I'm gonna try reinstalling the carrier file again but my phone still says it's carrier 5.0.

 

HAHA! Fuck you Apple! I got the tethering option back by reloading the carrier files using iTunes on Windows. So I guess it might be PC only!

 

^

 

So still no support for MIDI ringtones? Or does anyone know of a hack or a way around it?

 

Don't use it too much... Gotta think ATT will trap abnormal data users.

 

I just updated my 1st gen iPhone a few hours ago with the new 3.0 software and it's nothing too special. The copy/paste thing is cool, but I doubt I'll ever use it.

The main question I have is why can't the original iPhone have MMS? Are the internals/connectivity of the 3G THAT much different than the original? I paid $500 for my iPhone when it came out and I can't even send/recieve MMS

 

Has anyone else noticed improved battery life? I charged mine yesterday for about 30 minutes (at about noon) to top off the battery and I went the rest of the day and all night then this morning. I have been using SMS a little internet and I was listening to XM on it for the better part of yesterday afternoon and my battery is still showing as full.

I hope.

 

Updated to 3.0 on the wife's phone and the my touch (for $10). Pretty neat, I like the shake to shuffle and my wife likes the landscape keyboard.

 

I have been listening to XM on my phone for the better part of the morning over Wifi and my battery bar has not moved at all.. Since I charge it yesterday. I am starting to think that my battery bar is not working..

 

One question , I have to lines on my plan one of them is eligible for a discount on the iphone , I was wondering if I order the iphone as if I was buying it for that line and when I get the iphone I just stick the sim card I have for my current original Iphone would that work ?
