Iphone 3.0

[zonedar]

For what its worth, 3.0 is now out. Downloading it now. Cut and paste, finally...

[Chris.]

I just bought the 3G S yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here!

[rennD]

I think it is funny that they even pushed that phone for business use without copy and paste features. Quite an oversight :r

[zonedar]

Yeah. Tethering would be nice, too. But I'm not paying for it.

[Sawyer]

Just finished updating mine.

[blooz4u]

Installing update as I type this!

Took apple quite awhile to get that whole cut and paste thing... :r

[BUCASmoker]

I wish MMS came with this update.

[Chris.]

I thought it was supposed to? The new iphone has it...

[poker]

Not really. The 3GS has the "capability", as does any iPhone with the 3.0 update but according to AT&T: "MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer."

[Beagleone]

I have downloaded the software, but I am unable to connect to the activation server to authenticate. This is teeing me off!!!:bh

[Chris.]

What the hell?! that was the whole reason I finally bought one! It was advertised to have MMS support. That is sooo stupid not to have MMS or c/p. It's one of the best phones out there, and they couldn't include the most basic features?

[poker]

I have the 3.0 update on my 16G 3G and:

Cut, Copy & Paste works
Landscape Keyboard works
MMS (not yet according to Apple)
Spotlight Search works
Voice Memos works
Enhanced Stocks App works
YouTube Login works
Sync Notes works
New Languages works (but unsure that if texting other than english to a non iPhone if they can see it.)
Shake to Shuffle works
Stereo Bluetooth (not tried yet)
Automatic Wi-Fi Login (funny. I thought mine already did that)
Internet Tethering (Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.)

[BUCASmoker]

For some reason, I can't connect my iPhone to my computer.

It charges fine (although it connects and disconnects about 10 times before it settles down), but iTunes won't detect it.

[Chris.]

I would take it to ATT and see if they have any ideas. Sounds like a bad cable to me though or something wrong with the phone.

[poker]

Open iTunes without the phone connected. Get the latest iTunes version if you dont already.
Then plug in your phone and try it.

was it working before or is it a new iphone that you are trying to activate?

:tpd:
I gave up and went outside for a cigar bc I was so pissed

[VirtualSmitty]

Gah, figures this comes out when i'm not around to download it :mad::(

[sikk50]

There we go, it's finaly updating it!

[floydpink]

I think the server got a little overloaded today.

Only thing weird I experienced was my apps kinda got spread around over like 3 times the space needed to organize them.

I thought I had lost some but once I slid over, they were there.

I'm really anxious for the Tom Tom GPS app to come out as I haven't heard or seen any that are worth having yet.

[sikk50]

Mine got spread too but I think it was due to the voice memo dealy

[zonedar]

Mine got spread out too. Basically inserted a blank page in the middle.

[floydpink]

Exactly. Anyone know how to fix this unwelcome spread?
Also, my keyboard doesn't seem to go into landscape like now...
Is it only in email??

I'm challenged

[poker]

it works in SMS too

[sikk50]

Change it just like you would move around any of your other apps to add or remove a page.

It should go into landskape while texting. Mine works fine.

[Footbag]

Easy fix. If you remove all icons from one page, the page disappears.

[floydpink]

Easy fix. If you remove all icons from one page, the page disappears.

Can you please elaborate? I don't want to mess it up.

[zonedar]

If you tap an Icon and hold it, they (the icons) will all start to shake with an 'x' in the upper part of the icon. You can then drag them to other pages. Once you have all the icons moved from a page, it will disappear.

[floydpink]

Thanks, I'll try that. I was almost getting ready to just take a sharpie to the icons i don't use.:r

I had thought you needed a jailbroken phone with a 3rd party app to remove the icons.

Thanks for the helpful tip!! I got the icons to shake and they moved perfectly.

[zonedar]

The notes syncing is lame. I'm using Windows Vista. Apparently notes syncing only works with Outlook, which I refuse to use.

I get a message on my Itunes>Phone>Info Tab>Sync that says:

"No supported notes application can be found"

Why can't they just sync them to text files inside a sync folder. Sheesh!

[zonedar]

Oh yeah, to get out of the Icon edit mode, hit the Home button.

[floydpink]

Zone,

Am I correct in my thought that you need a jailbroken phone to remove icons?

[zonedar]

No. Normal phone

Do you want to remove them or just move them?

If you want to just move them follow the instructions I gave.

If you want to remove them, then I usually go to Itunes>Phone>Applications tab and check 'sync applications' and 'selected applications'. Then I just select the ones I want on the phone. Then re-sync.

Now some are part of the phone's OS and you can't remove them (like phone, contacts, iPod, etc...), but you can move them.

[floydpink]

I was thinking about taking a few things like stocks off.

I was told about a program called "poof" that does stuff like that on jailbroken phones, but your way seems easy.

[zonedar]

Stocks is one that's part of the OS. Can't get rid of it without jail breaking it.

[BUCASmoker]

Open iTunes without the phone connected. Get the latest iTunes version if you dont already.
Then plug in your phone and try it.

trying that right now.

its an old phone. had it since february. i'll try updating everything tonight.

[Footbag]

For all of those that are upset about MMS. Do you know about Quip? It's an app that lets you send photos in MMS messages. It sends it as a text link, but it is only one click away for the receiver. The receiving phone doesn't have to have Quip either. It used to be free, but now I think it's $.99.

As long as AT&T stays behind the times, we're stuck to unlocking the phones features with apps. I'm considering jailbreaking my phone for tethering. Just waiting for AT&T to announce $70/mo. Also, I'm afraid they will have additional rates for MMS even though other phones don't.

[Chris.]

God, if they charge extra for MMS I will go nuts. I don't understand why you would get charged extra for tethering. Plenty of other devices can do it.

Everyone knows that MMS isn't "data" so ATT won't be able to apply it to the "unlimited data plan".:D

[Chris.]

that's strange since every time I send a picture with my current phone, it tells me how many bytes have been transferred. It should be included as part of your texting plan as with every other phone. I really hope my phone gets here soon so I can stop getting pissed about it and start enjoying it. lol

[King James]

Us lowly ipod touch users have to pay $10 for it (legally). If the iPhone ever comes to a decent provider I will get to experience software upgrades without a fee. That ends my rant though, glad to see the update out and will probably grab it today
