IPhone Update 2.1 Good or Bad?

Full details of the update and the fixes are available here: http://www.sonnybunny.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=108: iphone-2-1-update&catid=4:os-software-v20-and-updates&Itemid=2
Plus there are a few hidden changes that Apple dont tell us, as usual.
The first moment that I installed update 2.1 all my apps still didnt open and just crashed! But I found a fix that seems to stick with this update.... Just install a FREE app using the App Store on the phone and it resets all the crashes. I havent had an app crash since. Amazing

It worked good for me. We currently don't have 3G yet here in the sticks. But, even Edge was sketchy inside my house. No surprise as my house has been sort of a dead zone no matter what carrier I've used. Since the upgrade though it seems that I always have 2 to 3 bars inside the house now. Good enough! Can't really tell about the battery life though. I didn't have any of the problems others seem to have had with screens and apps and whatnot.

  • Pro Applications Update 2008-01    Good or Bad experiences ?

    Hi Guys,
    Who's up dated to the - Pro Applications Update 2008-01
    and have their been benefits or issues ?
    Cheers

    Everything is up to day via software update:
    LiveType 2.1.3
    FCP 6.0.3
    QT 7.4.5
    OS X 10.4.11 (Can't run Leopard on either of my Mac Pros (G5 Quad and Intel 2.66 2x core-duo) because I run ProTools on both (TDM on the Intel, LE on the G5)
    I mostly use the second internal drive for video stuff, but I have three FW-800 drives for backing up older projects, DVD images, etc.
    My test was pretty simple: in Livetype, I typed in some text which took three lines, applied various textures to a separate track and to the matte; put in some "live fonts," do some fade effects. I did this on both a regular NTSC SD project and a HD (ProRes 422) 1920x1080 project. It all works, rendered OK, exported, etc. I put the resulting video files through compressor to create SD MPEG2 files and they worked, too.
    I've been using 6.0.3 pretty extensively for a project (two hour movie of a play), and again, it all seems to work just fine. The long standing problem with some HDV not "conforming" correctly (exceedingly blocky video in places) has NOT been resolved with the update; the same time line rendered and exported as ProRes 422 is just fine, so it is an HDV issue.

    With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

  • Using a power bank good or bad for iphone battery lifespan?

    I currently use iphone 5, i see many aid product made now such as power bank,
    but a question comes in my mind , is that good or bad for our battery lifespan?

    Are you referring to cases with battery packs in them?
    If so, most have a switch to turn the battery in the case on or off.
    Having the iPhone or any phone in a battery case is neither good or bad.  It is merely a way to extend the "life" of the device between charges without the need to physically plug the device in as there is always the extra battery onboard.

    iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor; the iPhone 4S has that, but the iPhone 4 doesn't.

  • Is there a problem with iPhone update server, I can't seem to update my IOS on my wife's 3GS iPhone, keep getting message that the server is not reachable, yet I am connected to internet and had no problem syncing the phone or downloading iTunes software

    What's up with the iPhone update server. I have repeatedly tried in recent days to update the IOS software on my wife's 3GS iPhone but keep getting message that the iPhone update server cannot be contacted. The phone syncs normally and I am sure I am connected to the internet properly. Also I have successfully updated ITunes software during this same time frame.  What gives??

    Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and look at this section.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors: 
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?

    So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?

    The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

  • Deleted old iPhone update, now what?

    I received an error message during the new iPhone update 1.1.1, and I read some of the discussions here about removing a previous iPhone update (iPhone1,11.1.1_3A109aRestore.ipsw) to allow for the new 1.1.1 update. I did that and the update worked, but I am not sure - do I need to keep that other update, or should I just toss it? Thank you!!
    P.S. My update worked just fine after deleting the file above.

    It won't do you any good to keep the old update since you supposedly cannot revert to it anyway. Trash it and empty the trash.

  • Good or bad battery???

    hi
    i just bought a macbook pro 15" last week and im just wondering if i have a good or bad battery 'coz upon opening my macbook for the first time it suggested a lot of updates, including the battery update...so i did all updates...
    i charged my macbook fully last night and used it this morning...i checked my battery status and says 99%-2:55 remaining...then after 97%-4:11 remaining...
    i also check preferences....
    full charge capacity : 5489
    remaining capacity : 5407
    amperage : -1496
    voltage : 12294
    cycle count : 3
    i hope someone can enlighten me...
    thanks in advance...

    your stats seem ok.. i've gotten it as high as 142 hours temporarily, when its discharging.. the battery time to die measurement is at best an estimate..
    what were you running that you were drawing -1400 amps? thats a bit excessive...
    i run a problem called IBatt2 it has a grading system which compares your battery to the median of the same type of system battery... it will also show you the essential data...
    my battery with 45 cycles, gets a "C" grade on their system.

  • IPhone Update Failed- Phone dead

    Got error message that update failed. Now my phone is totally dead. Blacked out.
    I have a phone call with support tomorrow. Anyone else experience this? 3 days to an appointment at the Genius Bar.
    Ideas?

    I had mega problems too. Try following the steps in my posting as below after creating a new user account on your computer with ADMIN priviledges also. See my posting on 20/June/2009 22:33 titled "Upgrade Error number 4 and Restore Error 1603 when going to OS 3.0 - Solved" And turn off any antivirus and firewall software too, before doing so. In ITunes, highlight your iphone icon and then click the Restore Button on the ITunes Summary tab which seems to force the iphone into an update. Dont try using the Check for update button. Good Luck...........
    If i was doing my upgrade again i would first do a backup in ITunes, and then On the phone go to Setting > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. And then restore the backup afterwards. I believe this is what Apple should be recommending

  • 1.1.4 iPhone update

    I downloaded the 1.1.4 iPhone update and my phone is now "stuck". iTunes told me to unlock the phone after it completed the download, but I'm unable to. On the screen of my iPhone is the iTunes logo, with the little USB connector icon and "slide for emergency" in 10 different languages. I've tried turning it off and back on, disconnecting, reconnecting, but I can't get my main menu back up AND I can't unlock it. Can anyone please help???
    Thanks,
    Michele

    Kev,
    I was able to get it working. Here's what I did... Turn off and unplug the phone. Close iTunes, shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on, reopen iTunes, turn on and plug the iPhone back in and VIOLA! Bizarre, but it actually worked. Tech support had no idea this was a problem for any of their users, so maybe I clued them in on a potential fix to their bug fix Good luck with yours!!

  • IPod touch - IS IT GOOD OR BAD?????

    i have just bought an ipod touch and my personal view is excellent!
    98% works perfectly - just the safari web brouser can be slow (eventhough im on highspeed wireless broadband)
    i love the coverflow and scrolling is amazing with a flick of a finger
    buying on the move is a big bonus - i've just been to scotland and was in a wifi area and bought a couple of songs! it only takes seconds aswell!
    pictures are clear and easy to see and zooming in by 'pinching' is clever and works well.
    obviously videos are good and so is music!!!!
    thats what i think about the Ipod touch what about you - please leave your comments on it - good or bad..............

    What I have found disappointing so far is web access on the ipod touch: I have not been able to log on to any commercial network (= requiring some sort of authentication) for example in hotels. It seems that Safari on the ipod touch does not support certain functions required. The connections worked flawlessly from Safari on my Macbook so it seem to be a ipod touch issue (I assume the same goes for the iphone).
