iPhone 2.1 Software

[Bigpig]

Nothing technically wrong with the phone. If it did what it was supposed to then I'd have no issues. What are these 'so many' problems you speak of?

* I've complained about text/contact lag like everyone else.
* I've lost about a dozen emails because this thing can't decide weather it is connected to the net as described on MacRumours as a BUG.
* I've complained about a crap signal in areas like London.

Oh wow, 3 problems in which almost everyone has complained about. If I've got a dodgy phone, then by your words so does everyone else. I use this phone to keep in touch with suppliers and I am losing business and work time because of it. This iTunes issue is just like text lag that people said they 'weren't getting' - and then it suddenly hit them.

I agree with the buggie phone

But why on earth are you still using it if its costing you time and business?

Can I go straight from 1.1.4 on my ziphoned 2g iphone to 2.1? I'm assuming winpwn works with this still as super_tigers mentioned his is 2g?

I don't think 2.1 is able to be pwned yet?

If your not using any apps from installer then pwn 2.0.2 and then update to 2.1

Il save my opinion for a week as the text lag and contact problem always seem go away for a few days after an update. Everything seems fine so far anyway. This is probably what 2.0 should have been.

My main problem was with MobileMe not pushing emails to my phone but this seems to have more or less fixed itself over the last few weeks so cant complain really.

Just a update lad's iTunes 8.0 has had a soft Re-release.

The new version specifically addresses a Blue Screen error when connecting an iPod to a Windows Vista PC as detailed in this Support Article.

The old iTunes 8.0 file size was 64.6mb the new file is 64mb

Easy, because as I've mentioned in the main 3G thread I wanted to see how this update panned out before I would opt for an N96.

Put 2.1 through its paces yet then?

So this is sort of last chance saloon then ?

Kinda yeah. 2.0 just brought out so many issues it was unreal for those who had experienced the joys of firmware 1.14. Hell I used my Touch as a phoneless PDA more then my old phone and it was superb - I never lost any mails on that thing - well mainly because I was always latching onto unsecured wifi networks.

just updated my 2.02 winpwned + unlocked 2g version to 2.1 and I am impressed. Texting is so much better now, email opens quickly and safari feels more responsive. So far I will give it a thumbs up and my unlock stayed in place. Have lost cydria but I wasn't using that much anyway.

How do you preserve the unlock? Are you on O2? Did you just update using iTunes (i.e. official update) ?

Hey,

Liking the firmware, and you can now finally have your time zone set to london uk and have 12hr clock

About time lol

Also no slow down on sms yet either, big bonus.

I'm on T-Mobile. I had a 2.0.2 jaibreak and unlocked phone. Did some reading around and it was apparent that just pressing Upgrade in iTunes 8 would upgrade the software to 2.1, maintaining the unlock, but losing the jailbreak.

Worked a treat. I don't use installer/cydia for anything anyway, so wasn't upset about losing the jailbreak.

New GPRS icon, they keep on changing that one.

I am on Virgin, left the simcard in the phone and used Itunes 8 to update the phone. Ok I lost the jailbreak but I don't really use Cydia and installer. I suspect that Winterboard does slow the phone down at times. So far I am very, very happy with 2.1. The phone is smoother, doesn't lag and seems more stable. It is great to click on a link in an email, safari opens up, opens a new page and loads the link quickly and smoothly using wifi.
10/10 for me.

for those who do want to maintain jailbreak as well as ublocky, you may be interested to hear that quickpwn and pwnage tool for 2.1 are now out. See http://blog.iphone-dev.org

Thanks for the help all

Anyone got a link to the download for 2.0.2 so that I can winpwn it then update? I can't find a download link anywhere!

 

[MTWest]

Anyone else had any luck with QuickPwn? Looks pretty straight forward... I'm tempted but want to see if others have been successful first... I'm still on 1.1.4!

I have a winpwned 2.0 iPhone, can I just install the 2.0.2 update directly through iTunes or do I need to winpwn it again?

 

[FreeStream]

My vibrate is working finally!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO

<3 Apple!

Everything is nice and sharp and quick now, very good work from Apple. Took too long tho imo.

Update directly, I went straight to 2.0.2 from pwned 2.0.1 and then straight to 2.1 from 2.0.2

Edit: Gah double post, pfft! Hate when people do it so I try not to Im tired is my excuse ha ha
