Carrier update for the iphone??

This morning my iphone noted that a carrier update was available?  Anyone know what this does?  I am so sick of the secrecy that goes on with this sort of thing!!!  Maybe I'm just weird, but I'd like to know what something someone does BEFORE I agree to have it done.

Ok and what does it address? Either nobody knows or cares. Geez why is it so hard to get a straight answer instead of the generic response meant for the general ignorant masses?
Did you try contacting VZ for an answer to this? Since we aren't employees (excluding the few times an employee does respond in these threads) we know about as much as you do to the specifics of this update. Doesn't mean that a straight answer isn't being given...if the question was never asked in the right place. Calm down...if call VZ and no one can tell you anything clearer (tech support I would assume...the regular reps may have no idea) then you can become upset. Otherwise, making comments about the "ignorant masses" (which you are currently a part of...not a dig. A fact until you can prove you know more than everyone else on the subject) is a bit over the top until you actually dig further than this forum or Google and ask the company directly...

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • Always an update for the iphone configuration software, to the same version

    I have something odd,
    in Windows 7 RC I always get a update for the iPhone configuration software,
    but always to version 2.1, so I get a update, to the version I have.
    does anyone know why this happens?

    had to reinstall windows, and now it's fine...

  • Are apple going to stop updates for the iPhone 3GS

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if apple are going to stop the updates for the iPhone 3GS and will the apps always work with this iPhone?

    At some point in time it's inevitable that the iPhone 3Gs will reach end of life and will no longer be capable of handling updates to iOS, just like the 3G and original iPhone before it.
    When is not known, but eventually, it's a near certainty. Just like you can't get updates for older Android phones that no longer meet the minimum requirements for the new versions, or factory original parts for your 1968 Dodge Dart.

    Hi everyone, I just got the new iOS5 update for my iPhone 3GS. I receive a message saying that "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be recieved until you delete some messages." I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!

    Apple is screwing the pooch on this one.  Need to call in and be vocal. 

  • Last night i was downloading the new update for the Iphone, and after the download was done and trying to install, it errored out.  And now my phone is stuck on the screen with the itunes icon and the USB.

    Last night i was downloading the new update for the Iphone4 on my laptop through Itunes.  After the download was done, it was starting to install, and then an error came up and didnt get a chance to check it.  Now my Iphone is stuck on the screen with the USB pointing to the Itunes Icon and wont do anything else.  Any advice on how to get this fixed, or do i need to go to the Apple store and have them look at it.

  • All-in-one cleaning cloth & carrying pouch for the iPhone

    As I was looking for an all-in-one solution to protect my iPhone in my pocket that could also double as a cleaning cloth, I came up with a low-cost solution. I purchased a cleaning cloth pouch used for sunglasses from Sunglass Hut.
    While being able to fit my iPhone inside, I wasn't quite satisfied with the length, so I folded the bag over and stitched across. Now it feels as if the bag was made for the iPhone. Here's how...
    *Items need:*
    Cloth bag from Sunglass Hut for $6.99 (comes in different colors...I chose black)
    Straight pins
    Needle & black thread
    Directions:
    1. Turn the bag inside out
    2. Fold the bottom of the bag 3/4" and pin down
    3. Stitch across about 1/2" away from the folded end.
    4. Turn the bag inside out again...voila!
    enjoy!

    In addition, I like how I can wipe fingerprints off the screen while still in the pouch...pristine iPhone everytime

  • The newest iTunes update for the iPhone just deleted at least 15 paid apps

    I'm not here to be scolded or have any of the sarcastic or "holier than thou" replies said to me. So cut it out and be serious and save me your self righteous indignation.
    Problem: In the middle of updating I experienced an error at the VERY last second of updating that showed me a usb plug and the iTunes image. I researched what this was and found out the problem.
    *Item 1.)* all songs lost. So what, I am through with you iTunes, I've backed up and saved so many times without you even validating that fact. I've backed up and without fail somehow all songs have been lost in one way or another so I've come to terms I can't be happy when it comes to having songs. If I don't update I'll never get the new features, if I do update I'll lose all songs on my iPod. (also don't give me the "you need to back up" speech, I know, I accidentally deleted my backup hd and now it is serving as my time machine, however this also permanently makes it useless for windows even after "de-activating" it as a time machine)
    *Item 2.)* all applications lost.
    *Item 3.)* Able to recover 3%out of 100% of applications:
    a. For some reason I've backed up my iPhone every time I've connected and also for some unknown reason it decided to tell me my most recent backup was from two months ago. Negating all paid applications I've made for the past two months. This, to say the least is very agitating. Not only am I angry because I lost all of them, I have no way for the iTunes store to have a shred of sympathy and replace the paid applications even though I have all of the email receipts. (if you know a way to contact them so that I can plead my case, although I've done this before and they basically told me to shove off, please direct me to the proper places to inform them)
    I'm not trying to be so mean/mad/uninformed on these subjects but I love apple and their products but their failure to help me every time I mess up is disheartening because their system is set up so that I can't mess up. If I do I'm screwed and need to start over. This will be the 30th or so time I've had to start all over and I'm sick of it. Bloody sick of it.

    UPDATE: For some reason it specifically elminated 4 applications, twitterfon pro that was updated to ecofon pro, camerazoom (which was $12.00), and my reddit application.
    I'm thinking it failed to finalize the most recent update which resulted in deletion of my applications.

  • I want the IOS 8 update but apple decided to not give that update to iphone 4 users, IOS 7 didnt make my phone slower. I want the update, is there any possible way of getting that update for the iphone 4??

  • Is there going to be any major updates for the iPhone 5c

    It's really annoying me because I was goin to get the iPhone 5s but I chose the 5c and there haven't been many updates to focus on the 5c but mostly for the 5c there should be a better layout like the 5s has a different. I know you people might want to read this or I might not ever be even recognised 

    What exactly are you talking about? iOS 7.1 is the same on a 5s as a 5c (with the exception of hardware specific functionality such as touch ID). The "layouts" are the same.
