There may be clearly a good bundle to help you realize using this. I actually assume you made various pleasant ideas on includes moreover.

hi, upgraded to 2.0, everything seems to work fine except that when I try to send an email the app crashes to the desktop and the email seems to disapear. I don’t see an outbox either, have tried the chown command above but that did not fix it. Have also tried to turn push on and off. Any ideas…????

To Guy, the option must be -R in capital letter. It worked for me, syncing emails w/o problems now

iPhone and email spinning issue.

The iphone uses a great number of ports for syncing email. Check the wireless router on your home network and make sure the ports being used are not blocked.

Otherwise mine still spins once in a while outside of correcting firewall issues at my home.

When doing the terminal line… i get an error. Chown: option ‘–r’ is ambiguous. try –help for mor information. but when i run help, it blows by on the screen and i cant scroll up with mobile terminal. Any suggestions?

By: hansn

hansn — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:10:24 +0000

the crashing mail bug its a permission problem concerning the "mobile" user. access the terminal on your iphone or connect via ssh and do the following:

su root (password alpine) chown -R mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Library/Mail

thats it

I upgraded and here's what I've experienced so far:

Contacts load very slowly.
Checking email is sporadic. I check a MobileMe account, a Gmail account, and a Yahoo account. Even if I try to check manually it often doesn't work. I get my mail MAYBE every 2 hours.

By: apbl

apbl — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 02:58:36 +0000

i have an unlocked iPhone 1.1.3, what will happen if i update it to 2.0 through iTunes?

reply quick!!

ohhh. just tried something that i think is going to make this bearable, and save my battery from running down. i turned ‘fetch new data’ to ‘manually’. Now at least I am able to get new mail on demand.

By: ryan g

ryan g — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:12:53 +0000

i’ve got ‘checking mail’ problem too. fetches all mail when i restart the iphone, but periodic checks fail to get past ‘checking mail’. HELP?!!!

I need help! i had an unlocked iphone and was happy with the 1.1.4 version and i upgraded it to 2.0 and lost EVERYTHING all my songs and everything i had, is there any possible way i can undo everything and get all my stuff back?

By: Erik Watson

Erik Watson — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:59:46 +0000

Oh, one other thing.. Purchased apps. If i get the proper one meant for the 3G iPhone can i still transfer my apps to the new firmware?

That's got me a bit worried i have to say.

By: Erik Watson

Erik Watson — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:56:32 +0000

I've had some similar problems. The FaceBook app keeps crashing, sometimes just the app, sometimes resets the phone.. probably the fault of the app itself bout I dont knw.. could be having trouble becuase it thinks its on a 3G iPhone?

No idea.

Also, has one problem when moving icons around on the screen. The bottom row (not the dock) stopped wiggling on one screen, i pressed home to freeze them and tryed again and still they didnt wiggle. Then i tryed switching screens and nothing.. the phone froze and i had to hard reset it.

I’m having mail problems as well…when i press the mail logo it pops up with a blank mail screen and then goes away. Also I can not delete my gmail account (only email account on there) If anyone comes up with a fix for this please let the forums know right away. I’m also using the official firmware downloaded through itunes if it makes a difference.

My mail app does the same – won’t pick up mails.

However – if you turn off the phone and turn it back on – it pulls all the mails down.

It’s a start – but not ideal.

By: Justin

Justin — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:13:10 +0000

I had probs with the mail app to. Make sure the setting is for fetch, not push unless running mobileme. Since switching to fetch, have had no issues. Can’t connect with my Uconnect in my car though.

Has anyone found an answer to the problem of not being able to get messages. I am still having issues with the spinning wheel “checking for mail” or “connecting”

i downloaded the 2.0 on fiday my phone has not been the same since.slow and the phone only works on speacker or the headset?

By: Jerry

Jerry — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:51:36 +0000

I downloaded the 2.0 to my iPhone and now my email has an inbox and trash folder only. No Sent or Outbox. If I try to send to someone it says the SENDERS email is invalid and the Outbox appears with my attempted send. I’m going to try to delete and add my email account again to see if this fixes the problem.

My mail DOES NOT work!! Come on Apple, mail should be one app that doesn’t screw up. Let Youtube or weather crash, but not MAIL!!!

By: Bill

Bill — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:49:34 +0000

Downloaded the “offical” upgrade from iTunes and while my mail ap doesn’t crash, it’s having issues checking mail automatically, even tho the settings are correct. When I open the ap, sometimes it will get mail, but most of the time it just spins and spins saying it’s “checking mail.” Sigh.

just look in your iphone-backup-folder /library/application support/mobilesync

there may be a copy of your contacts

After updating my iPhone to 2.0 I realized that all my contacts have been erased. Does anyone know how to bring them back?

Does anybody have a problem with their iPhone connecting to a bluetooth? My phone actually will not search for one, all it says is “bluetooth unavailable.” My bluetooth is a Jawbone and yes I have set my Jawbone to send its signal so I don’t think it’s the bluetooth. Did anyone else have this problem after updating to 2.0?

By: Scott Silver

Scott Silver — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 05:34:45 +0000

I downloaded 2.0 late night on the 11th when itunes said it was available, my mail app doesnt work at all, it crashes back to springboard every time, i can not delete the gmail acct that was synced from my backup nor can i add new email accts.

By: Nate

Nate — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:21:34 +0000

Same as Shannon above. I also used the official version. Phone only allows emergency calls and says to reconnect to iTunes. ITunes will not allow sync or resetting. What now?

By: Shannon

Shannon — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:13:23 +0000

I just uploaded the official version and it crashed my iphone completely. Nothing can bring it back and it just shows a screen that says I need to reattach it to itunes. I tried to call Tech support and there “isn’t a technical support person available, call back later.” IRATE!

By: Matt

Matt — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:55:15 +0000

I also jumped the gun and installed the leaked firmware. I have 5A347 installed. For those of you that installed it with iTunes on the official release, what version do you have? It's under Settings -> General -> About

I've had a few app crashing problems, but nothing major.

By: thekevinmonster

thekevinmonster — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:04:24 +0000

scott, I think that’s a problem unrelated to the 2.0 firmware. The iTunes store/activation/etc stuff (you have to reactivate your phone when you update it) is pretty much hosed right now.

By: scott

scott — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:54:08 +0000

I downloaded successful. After going through restore/reload and verify stages, it seemed to not complete. Now I have a phone with icons telling me to hook up to itunes and itunes now not being able to complete. I continue to get different error messages when connecting to itunes.

I cannot get the mail App up. It just crashes all the time. Does anyone have a solution?

By: thekevinmonster

thekevinmonster — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:05:19 +0000

Here’s a question.. if we downloaded the 2.0 update early, do we get the real one automatically or do we have to restore back to the old OS somehow?

By: CoachFreak

CoachFreak — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:55:22 +0000

I also downloaded it. A few crashes in Safari, but I had those in 1.1.4 as well. I am loving 2.0

By: Dyvim

Dyvim — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:28:32 +0000

I have a couple movies that played on 1.1.4 that refuse to play in 2.0 (“This movie format is not supported.”) They were ripped via Nero Recode at 1.5Mbps H.264 using their iPhone profile. I have a bunch of home videos ripped using the same profile that play, but not these. Bummer.

anybody know what time the update will be available to download officially?

By: Patrick

Patrick — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:59:20 +0000

I downloaded it but have yet to install it. I’m glad I read this. The reviews of the “secret download’ were mixed and I thought I should wait. I’m just going to delete the file and wait for the official release. I use my iPhone of business and I don’t want to bring it down.

Wally Fraser — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:05:06 +0000

Mine is a little buggy. I downloaded the Google App and it wouldn’t work for me. I kept getting an error message and had to re-download it. Although that could have just been the original download. Then I tried to open up AIM last night and I ended up getting the Apple Logo instead of AIM. The one pain though is when I sync with iTunes. It seems to take several minutes to back up the phone before it does anything else. I wonder if anyone else is having that problem. I’m on my way to go stand in line for the iPhone 3G right now, hopefully that issue doesn’t continue for me.

By: Fezi

At the beginning I had some problems syncing with iTunes and some problems adding a contact. But after i rebooted my phone for a couple of times all problems were gone. Now i run my iPhone without any problems any more.

This installed on my iphone without a glitch… My phone has had no problems except the new contact button is rather slow but other then that nothing has crashed

By: Badmofo

Badmofo — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:21:31 +0000

I used the restore in iTunes to go back to 1.1.4 as it wouldn’t let me retry 2.0 again. I installed it as a new phone and then ran the 2.0 restore (pressing the shift key when you click restore) and installed from my last backup once 2.0 loaded.

By: burnsaa

burnsaa — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:56:26 +0000

Yep its buggy for me too. I’ve had multiple crashes none with the phone app though. I thought Steve said that the 2.0 firmware was supposed to be in iTunes tonight?

By: omar

mine is buggy too… badmofo… how do I reset my iPhone to 1.1.4? Thanks.

I’m awaiting the official release. Hope the bugs are fixed by then.

By: Badmofo

Badmofo — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:29:14 +0000

My firmware upgrade crashed iTunes about half way through, and I had to recover my phone with 1.1.4. I didn’t sync and ran the 2.0 upgrade again, and everything is working great. I got Band, Cro Mag Rally, MySpace, and a couple of other apps and I haven’t had any problems.

mine is a little buggy too…sound problems, crash during super monkey ball etc….but getting ready to get in line for 3G so no worries!
