Only 4 hours download time to go!!
I had iTunes Error number 4. Of course. So i had to restore from backup. Looks like it's working now. But it's not finished yet.
waiting on 3.0 jailbreak to be released shortly!!
Not Happy So Far! Everytime it's gets almost done downloading I get an error message that it didn't download.
So is this the exact same build as the GM seed or did they change it slightly?
Got that connect to itunes graffic....fuck
18 minutes!! I just need my jailbreak NOW
HA! Perfect timing! I stayed up last night to see if they would release it at midnight. Then this morning I went and played tennis. I just got back at 10:35 and saw the download
I don't see the reason to jailbreak anymore besides SBsettings, that's the only thing I'll really miss for the next few days
Ok, I have the 3.0 Beta 5 now, and I'm sure alot of other people do too. How do I upgrade? When I click Check For Update it says its the current version. Do I upgrade to the 3.0 GM Seed then the Final Version or what? I NEED HELP!!!!!!!
can i get the iPhone update on my 2gen iTouch?
Is this the same as the GM Seed? Obviously it wont let me update since it's already up to 3.0.
What's the new Build Number? Currently I have 7A341. If this is the same, than the GM Seed is the current gold code release.
Got that connect to itunes graffic....fuck...now re-syncing i think its ok....dam shitty usb ports on laptop
Got my 3.0 up & running! http://twitgoo.com/u1j5
it's pretty sweet. just updated the demo phone at our retail location. MMS looks so new and shiny!
Downloaded and installed... all done in about 13 minutes. Checking out the goodies now.
so i'm using the 3.0 OS now on my phone... in the ipod part where you can slide the bar to go to a specific part of the song...
it says you can slide your finger Up and Down to "adjust the scrubbing rate"
whats a scrubbing rate and why would i want to adjust it?
got an error while downloading it at first and now am restoring iphone looks like it might be working now i hope.
I am running 3.0GM and it says no update needed. I am curious if there were any last min changes of if GM is the real deal. Does anyone have the final release as an .ipsw file that could do an MD5 hash?
download no problem, but backing up is completely stalled, been on only about 10% complete for 1/2 hour
7A341 is correct.
I notices that the MMS is not yet applied...
I just have normal texting - i do not have the camera icon in my texts yet....
is mms working on at&t already? if so i'm hitting that update. =D
The build is identical to the GM build as expected. No bug fixes yet but im sure that will follow in due course.
it's pretty sweet. just updated the demo phone at our retail location. MMS looks so new and shiny! currently updating my personal phone.
Just finished updating and booting up. The whole process from download to install took about 35 minutes. Time to start playing with the new features!
Downloaded and installed with absolutely no issues. A2DP on iphone...FINALLY!
So sad, I'm stuck here at work, my iPhone in my pocket and unable to download/sync.....only six more hours.
i hav beta 5 and it says im current...ughhh
update done Rock $ Roll!
downloaded fine - backup up took longer than normal but just finished - now watching "updating iphone software" the suspense ........
is anyone experiencing the same as Dystroy? anyone have the camera icon on their messages app yet???
Update went quickly. No MMS. Spotlight is really nice.
I am on my way to the airport and will not be able to downloan until this evening =(
"verifying updated iphone software" ........ I can't take it ....
I know its not available through ATT YET - but from what I read, it should still show in the new software - am i correct?
just downloaded and installed but i got no notifications toggle in the settings?
MMS is not supported by AT & T till late summer or on first Gen iPhone
...." updating iphone firmware" ... come on baby ...
The find my iphone feature on mobileme works really well. Update from start to finish took about 15 mins. Camera seems smoother too. Also like that you can sync over air to mobile me and also through itunes at same time
Update went quick - did it at work. On Rogers in Canada, I've got the camera in Messages for MMS. Spotlight works pretty good though only seems to have indexed one of my email accounts. Cut and paste also in there and working well though it'll take some getting used to. Can also forward SMS/MMS which is nice.
dam im at work for 5more hrs poor iphone
I checked iTunes at 10:00 AM PST and none, 10:01 AM still none, 10:02 still none, then at 10:14 AM jackpot!
Backup is taking a long time like it did in previous firmware builds. I hope we aren't having a return of the 12hr backup times :-/
And didnt they say Shaking the phone would do shuffle on the ipod section? not working on mine...
Half way through firmware..........c'mon, I must be getting delirious, I have been up every hour since midnight PST.
Oh No - phone was rebooting then got "itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000001)." ... AAARRRGGGHH!!!
it took in total about 10 mins to download
I sold my 3G last week cant wait till friday.. I hate waiting..
... OK - clicked OK on that random error message and seems to have completed fine - off to have a play . OH YES!!!! should keep me happy until 3GS on Friday
I just confirmed that the MD5 on the GM build matches the final public release.
Where's Push, MMS?
a cold beer popped out of my download!!!!
yeeeeah!
iPhone 3.0 OS loaded on my 3G in about 30mins including download time. No restore needed... So far things are grrreeaattt! Just wish the MMS function was working, but landscape Email and Messages apps are the bomb!
Where's the MMS Feature!?
MMS doesnt work, that really sucks. Apparently it wont work with AT&T until August.
FINALLY! I grabbed it at about 12:15 Central. Glorious updates...
I'm not really noticing much of a difference though >.<
Speed: Check Copy/Paste: Check Messaging edit: Check MMS: let's out a sigh AT&T doesn't love me enough. Bluetooth funness: (still gotta get a headset)
That's really all i was really wanting, and it works well. so i'm a happy camper.
Hmm. Things that don't seem to work quite so well:
Yeah Done ! Now is the time to explore, will get back with comments!
Updated to 3.0 but no notifications option under settings and not seeing options for internet tethering either. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any suggestions?
anyone else in Canada having trouble sending/receiving MMS? i have the feature, but demo phone won't send/receive MMS!
Seems like MMS sending doesn't work on the Rogers network yet.
i just looked and i cant d/l the update without updating to itunes 8.2 curse you apple!!!!
iPhoneFanBoy - I think the notifications options will be on an app-by-app basis, won't they? We may have to wait for app updates first.
remove all your music, apps and video from the phone, then run the backup .... it will take only a couple of minutes
Dag yo! I had to leave the house 5 minutes before it was available. 10 hrs to go. Meh.
Tethering on 3G speed results: http://www.speedtest.net/result/497926694.png
not bad at all!
Updating iPhone right now. no problem downloading. very smoothe
Download and install went smooth. MMS for AT&T will not be available until later this summer. I assume this will be a carrier update (AT&T text message to install) via iTunes. Push notifications setting will not show up until you have a program that supports push. 3.0GM build is the same as the "official" build. Wish I kept my 3.0 build with updated IPCC file as my MMS was working fine!!
3.0 Jailbreak please ...
i think they may have left the notifications out of the update again at least in canada.
@iphonefanboy - i don't have a notifications toggle in setting either but tethering is in settings > general > network
MMS icon will not show up due to your current carrier setting, however, if you didnt upgrade to itunes 8.2, you can revise the carrier file and opt+click the update button and upload a new carrier file that reveals the MMS icon and allows internet tethering. The tethering works, MMS...not so much :'( oh, well. We've waiting this long, why not another month or so?
where the hell is the battery indicator
Hmm. strange.... Downloaded and installed - don't understand why it hasn't got OLED display that we were promised. Had enough Im going back to Windoze Mobile!!! hehehe
So I used the Restore button b/c I had the GM seed from last week. Update went fine except now all my content(music, video, photos, apps) is all gone! Kinda bummed about that, but I guess I'll get started
if i update to 3.0 now, can i jailbreak later when the jb becomes available?
Mine works fine, No MMS is AT&T is a major bummer though!
http://www.iphone3gs-review.info
im still getting sms pop ups, they just arent showing the message, it still shows the name. Can I get rid of it? If so, how? If not, why won't Apple realize this is a huge privacy issue?
oh and I failed to mention... i'm using the bluetooth tethering to view this site and post this comment! on 3G, internet runs pretty fast
I'm on Fido. Got into my office at 1:05CDT and immediately plugged in the phone. It synced while I downloaded the update (which took maybe 2 minutes). Started the update immediately. Completely finished (ie, phone restarted) by 1:25CDT! Very painless and quick. I'm off now to check out the new features........ Quick note, MMS works fine with Fido!
@carl Hey, imposter! I didn't say that.
Anyways, for those who have the GM release like I did, just plug your phone in and go to iTunes and hit restore.
Any Canadian users see any "push notification" on their 3.0 update?
my back up has been stalled at 75 % for a long time now.. should I start over? escape?
I guess Apple and ATT finally figured out a way to have a de-facto rolling release .. release the update in the middle of the work day so that a majority of people can't get things downloaded until they get home from work. That should stagger things just enough to keep the servers from crashing. Darn though, out here on the West coast it makes for a long day of waiting.
does anyone know if notes syncing is mobile me dependent? my notes didn't sync!
hey i have ipd2G i clicked on 'check for update' it started to download and didnt have to pay anything
Just finished install. copy/paste is AMAZING...but....none of my apps will start. investigating...
I didn't get any error messages but after the install my iphone as been syncing for about 45 minutes and my status bar is not moving at all. I'm worried.
I'm in CA..this is my 1st iphone upgrade...I don't see it on itunes...what's up? ~JMF.
have other canadian iphone users got prompted to with a carrier update? are there any reason to be wary of a carrier update? i don't really trust rogers/fido.
Downloaded and installed ok. Phone restarted ok. iTunes started a synch immediately. when it did, it says updating apps on iPhone". Got thru them alphabetically pretty quickly until last one, has been hung up now for 20 minutes.
I'm not that impressed off-the-bat. There isn't too much visible change on the update. I also tried "Find my iPhone" and MobileMe is bogged down.
Fixed - I had to log in to my itunes account. I did that by d/ling a random app from the app store.
I did the carrier update. As much as I don't trust Rogers, I'm sure it's necessary.
Maybe that's why my "Preferences" panel has no "Notifications" on it...
I thought you could delete a specific line in a text? Its not letting me.. and no mms here either
bummer
Both mine and my wife's phones get an error message in iTunes that says "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out"
This is on two different computers. The software is in Emergency Call only mode. It appears the software is installed but I can't do anything in iTunes (no restore button, nothing).
Help!!
uggh. Got an 'unspecified error' on my laptop. Rebooted and now I get "we could not complete your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out." iPhone starts but only allows emergency calls...
Am i allowed to gloat and tell you that my UK iphone supports MMS now! Oh.. and tethering! We just pay through the nose for it!
Not happy with the sms pop up options, anyone figure out how to stop them from popping up?
No tethering possible on Rogers if you don't update the carrier file. I tried both without (no tethering) and with the update (tethering works GREAT).
