iPhone OS 3.xx Software Bugs/Issues

[linde]

For people having issues with 3.0 being sluggish... I'm willing to bet you restored from a backup when you updated rather than updating to a new iPhone. Restore your device and select set up new iPhone... your issues will go away. Promise.

Jeremy,
I swear I asked you this once before when I un-did my jailbreak...SO please excuse me asking once again.

My phone is a bit sluggish since I updated...thought I'd give your suggestion a try.
If I set up as a new iphone, will I have to re-set all my preferences manually in the iphone again? Is there a way to just sync with iTunes and restore my preferences, music, etc?

You would only be doing a back up if you did that.
And the whole point of restoring is to have a fresh phone.

I personally would like to have a fresh phone, but theres too much important things on my phone (texts, notes, etc) that I need to keep.

So, no complaints so far I just notice it is going a little better faster

I don't get it. It is veeery slow getting to open the iTunes Store. It is slow in general. I did the restore and re-sync thing and it is still the same. I am a little upset. It wasn't worth it to me to lose speed over the minor changes. I also don't know what happened to the keyboard. You could double tap shift and cap letters would come up, now I can't. Anybody knows what happened?

I noticed my wifi wasn't working either after I updated...
Heres what I did to get it back up and running.

Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I then went back to the wifi page and once it found my network, I re-entered my network password and everything was back to normal.

Hope that helps!

If you read my post earlier in this thread, I stated it took me 16 hours to back up my iPhone 3G with only a 1gb of data on it.
So unless it takes 2+ hours, just let it finish backing up. Back ups are well worth it when your phone crashes are starts acting funny.

I noticed the issue with the More... Button in the App Store. However, about 10 minutes ago, I went again to the App Store and noticed More... is gone and only the Original 5 are left (Featured, Categories, Top 25, Search and Update). Anyone else notice this?

Yup, I was wondering the same thing today, the more button is gone..

i read that earlier lol mission i guess ill just let it back up after i finish trying to update my other 1gen iphone it was going great until it just went back to the make an emergency call only ive had it connected via usb (pc) but its telling me to activate it but ive been using it jb for a couple months now

I've noticed it takes a VERY long time to backup my 16 GB 1st Gen iPhone now. It took about 90 minutes to get about 90% complete, but I fell asleep waiting for it to finish, so I'm not sure how long it took. And then it still needed to update my apps.

Does anyone know any way to speed up the backup process?

Mine takes forever too, I think the first one after getting 3.0 yesterday took about 3 hours!! Don't know why it takes so long..

I personally think it's a good thing they got rid of it.
I hope they aren't tweaking it and then putting it back.
It made no sense at all to use up a button space that said "More" just so they can add a redeem option.
They should just put a little "redeem" button in the top left corner of the "app updates" screen. Just like the "Update All" button.

Yea I like the original "update" button better too..

Ok, I'm only having one real problem, it's that about half my apps have gone into a black hole, after re-syncing yesterday, itunes showed them being copied to my phone, but they are nowhere to be found! Itunes is showing 5 gigs of apps in green, and I tried installing some of them from the phone in the app store but the button you press that says "free/install", is showing them already "installed".

Anyone notice this?

iPhone OS 3.0

I have also downloaded the 3.0 update. I have noticed a slower phone since I installed it. I think this might be because of the new additions. I have noticed that after a few restarts(5 or so for me) it seems to gain back the speed.

Notes sync?

I am having a problem finding out where iTunes puts the notes that it syncs with my iPhone. I was under the impression that I could edit these notes and have them sync to my phone. Does anyone know where these might be?

 

[just_danny]

Confirmed, doesnt work for me neither.

Another bug I think:
When sending a contact from one iPhone to another using MMS the contact comes as a unknown file on the other phone. Can someone confirm this?

Yep, I have this issue. Very annoying. Whenever I receive an MMS from someone, it doesn't link the number to a contact properly. The message then shows up as a number (eg; 61 403 999 999) which has to be manually looked up within contacts. The picture obviously doesn't get threaded with other messages from that person.

I upgraded to 3.0 last night and it seems okay so far aside from a couple issues?
1) When I move into landscape texting, the phone doesn?t recognize it and therefore doesn?t switch into landscape mode. This only occurs when I am standing. I realized that if I tilt the phone one way or the other when flipping it to the side, it goes into landscape. Was I doing it wrong or do I have a real issue on my hands?
2) When I click the text bar (the space where your words show up) it brings it up with the keyboard, but when I click it again to make it go away..it doesn?t go away.

Something that isn't a bug, but should be reverted back.
When texting a long message, the text area keeps expanding and now eventually fills up the whole screen. Now if the other persons text was long, and you were replying to several parts...you now can't read the rest of their text, and have to delete some of yours to do so. There should be a limit to how much the text box can expand(like previous versions). I don't mind scrolling through my own message to read what I've put so far, but I DO need to see the other persons text. It can't block it out completely.
