Someone necessarily assist to make seriously articles I would state. That is the first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the analysis you made to make this actual publish extraordinary. Wonderful process!

quoto nick (soprattutto per i filtri litapcpi alle foto, faccio la stessa cosa XD ).ragazzi, ogni tanto provo qualche gioco un po' vecchiotto ma denso di stile e ne rimango ancora piacevolemnte colpito.shadow of the colossus, non sar questo florilegio di poligoni ma ancora in grado di incantare o quando giocai al primo sient hill, graficamente meno d'mpatto rispetto alla serie di re(che si giovava di dettagliatissimi sfondi prerenderizzari), eppure la suggestione artistica di quel titolo (che trovata geniale quelle "oscillazioni" della realt ) era di gran lunga superiore.giusto per fare un ultimo esmepio, pi attinente ai giorni nostri: quando presi zelda twiligt pricess ( il primo zelda a cui abbia giocato, se non il primo che abbia mai visto), speravo solo in una buona storia dato che sulla rete avevo letto molte critiche sulla componente tecnica.ora sar io che sono abituato male, che non conosco la serie appunto, ma a me sembra bellissimo, pieno di poesia e dettagli.poi, sar che sono vecchio (e, non scherzo, credo che sia davvero una componente che incide in maniera rilevante sul mio metro di valutazione) ma davvero non mi sento di puntare esclusivamente sul realismo visivo per giudicare l'aspetto di un prodotto (lo so, sembra un ossimoro ma vi risparmio la speigazione e altre 40 righe di post). che la forza sia con voi e con lavezzi.

Played around with it the whole day it is sooo adinctidg.One thing though: It would be great if the app would create a new album on the iphone instead of saving the shakeitphotos in between the standard iphone pictures. Or is that somehow restricted by apple?

Wow! Thanks for ShakeItPhoto. Fantastic, fantastic app!! I'm so glad that you added rlieastic photo color and exposure manipulation as well as the border and sound effects. Suggested future features would be the ability to manipulate the image like Lucas Samaras and others used to do by simulating pressing, scraping and even applying heat to the image as it is processing. Anyway, thanks again!

In the video, Nick uses the Email Photo button when vineiwg the photo on the iPhone. This generates a new email with a 800-pixel-wide photo attached.I stumbled upon a method to attach photos with much higher resolution (1040 pixels wide). Assuming you're on iPhone OS 3.0, from the thumbnail view in an album or the camera roll, tap the icon in the lower left corner, select your photos, then tap Copy . Start a new blank mail message, then paste the photos into the body. It may be an extra step or two, but the payoff is higher-resolution attachments.

I know wasn't that a great comment!It will be quite a lot of money but it does dpneed on what carrier and what time you cancel. Adding a new phone line is dirt cheap though and you could also find a buddy to use the other line or have it for emergency

i have updated my iphone 3g to 3.1.2 firmware and i jailbroken it ...but the applications that i already downloaded from apps store didnt lunch..why???somebody help me plzzzz,,,what to do/???

None of the 3.1.2 new features are worth the hassle of upgrading for on a perfectly working jailbroken iPhone 3.0

Blueooth voice control is the only neat new add on that I'll miss.

I have had similar issues with my phone shutting down and not switching off when I want it to. It started about 24 hours ago and has been non stop since back and forth from the Apple Logo to main menu. I called Apple and was told they could not help me because I am now in Canada and bought the phone in Australia plus the warranty ran out 10 days ago (the phone was legally unlocked when I left Australia but they said they can't help me). The insisted it was a Hardware Issue and ignored me when I said over and over that there are several forums full of people with the same issues. I have restored it with my back up but I am restoring it again to it's initial set up in the hopes that mine works like GEE37's does. I am extremely angry with the Apple help desk for refusal to help me when I have done everything buy the book!

By: GEE37

GEE37 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 10:43:36 +0000

After my previous post I called Apple a second time and was advised to restore the phone to factory settings and not to use the most recent backup but instead to restore it as a new phone, then sync with the iTunes Library. The operator seemed convinced that the problem was in the back up file and not the 3.1 OS. Well it hasn’t crashed yet and the volume levels were as before the upgrade, so far so good! Just check that all your contacts are retrievable as some of the info on your phone is not stored in iTunes Library.

Adding to my earlier post, One more solution is remove all the apps, i did and since then my phone is working properly, earlier it used to shutdown 3 to 4 times a day.

since 3.1 my phone has totally shut down twice and will not start up even with the power button, had to do a soft reboot to get it working again. But worst of all is the low volume - since 3.1 my volume is significantly lower than it was and I can't here many of the mp 3 files while walking around the supermarket or hear a phone call in the car (hands free of course). Apple told me to go back to factory settings but this has not resolved the issue. Anyone else had similar problems - especially with volume ??

Have the screen turning off thing as well - didn't know about the home + sleep button thing, but I've found that shaking it a few times works, almost like you were trying to shuffle songs on an iPod....

I have updated the S/w to 3.1, two days after the upgrade, my phone 3G was non-responsive, tried to plugging in to the wall, hitting buttons, no reaction, black screen and unresponsive. Even tried calling it, the phone never rang and went to voice mail.

Never had this behavior before. Now the only solution i found to turn on the phone is to hold the power and home button simultaniously.

Can any one found permanent solution for the problem or how to move back to 3.0 from 3.1

thanks

By: tricknick

tricknick — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:17:35 +0000

The 3.0 iPod app displayed only the albums in the album view. The 3.1 displays the album and the different artists in that album (like the iTunes). This is annoying if there are different artists in one album. You see the same album cover several times on the album list. Is there a way to change the view?

By: Holly

Holly — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:32:29 +0000

I'm having the same issues with the phone "shutting off". Have to hold down the power/home buttons to get it working again. It all started with the 3.1. NOT happy about this AT ALL.

Patch it!

I have 3G and updated to 3.1, seems now my phone is lagging BIG TIME and tends to shut down apps unexpectedly and also locks me out of the phone and I have to hold down power/sleep button for several seconds to reboot and I am good for a little while of more use. Before the update phone was working great. Wish I could go back!

Ever since i did the 3.1 update i've experienced my iphone not wanting to turn back on right away when it shuts down. It usually takes about 2 minutes then finally turns back on. Any ideas?

3.1 causes my phone to power off/lock-up. I have to do a hard reset by holding home and power button to recover. This is a WIDESPREAD issue. Does anyone at Apple use the Internet? Try to GOOGLE 3.1 iPhone issues to read about it yourself. Thanks!

I also have the same problems wit u guys. My iphone keep crashing/blank black screen/turn off. Have to restart by pressing sleep and home button. But it take a while to restarting not like on OS 3.0. And after i don't use it for a while it will go blank again.

Same too with the keyboard clicking sound.

And it seems sometimes the screen does not quickly responsivily as before.

Don't know what to do here. Should i restore to 3.0 or wait for the next os update ?

i connected my iphone earlier and because i havnt connected it to my pc for about a month it had to do the 3.1 update..... it took ages, backing up, installing, then syncing everything took about half an hour or something. All was well untill about an hour ago when with about 90% battery it just went off... blank screen/dead.. would not turn on, tried connecting to pc but nothing!! It was like the battery was dead. I searched on my pc and it said hold menu and power buttons down together... this worked and now its fine... but why did the iphone do this, its been fine untill after this 3.1 update????

Updated to 3.1 last night and my iPhone has shut-down / crashed several times today while sitting at my desk. Definately seems to be after a period of inactivtiy as suggested in previous posts - complete nightmare! I'm only round the corner from the Apple Store so I'll harass the Genius staff tonight...

I am also experiencing spurious shut-offs after installing 3.1. I have an iPhone 3G that did not behave in such a way before. My iPhone just goes black and I have to wrestle with it to get it to turn back on.

On the positive side -- my GPS is working faster and much better!

By: Chris

I updated today to 3.1 and everything was dandy until a few hours after, I went to go into my mail and turned the phone from landscape to upright and the screen went black. Not the entire screen but the area for all my accounts etc. was and using the home button made everything okay on the home screen. Selecting mail though loaded into the black screen, had to reboot the phone.

@Eric seems to be the only way to get it to turn back on. This update is the shits, Apple needs to do something (which I'm sure they are)

By: Eric

Eric — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:34:00 +0000

My phone has shut off ~2x per day since upgrading to 3.1. (To quickly fix, hold "home" button and "power off" button simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds which will restart your phone) Hopefully Apple will recognize this issue and swiftly product an update to ammend.

By: Dale

Dale — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:04:56 +0000

The battery life of my wife's and my 3G phones has gone in the dumper. Before the update, I would typically get a full day before I needed to charge. Now, by 5 PM (around 8 hours of use) I need to charge. Is anyone else experiencing this?

just updated today to 3.1 and my phone randomly turns off and seems like I gotta push the middle button, volume up and the power button to turn it back on. I couldnt get it booted up for like 15 minutes at one point, thought it was screwedd.

By: DBrown

@Amanda et al.

It's a relief to see that the issue, with shutting off, is wide-spread. That means it eliminates the optional hassle of going to the "genius bar" to get the phone looked at. At first I thought the problem was that I had it in my pocket at the time of shutdown, the first couple of times. But now, it happened twice today while it just sat on my desk. Apple and AT&T online support keeps recommending to going to an apple service center and chances are that it's defective hardware. No problems until the 3.1 update last week. Please pass along any quick fix or possible resolutions that you may come across

I have a 3G and my phone has been randomly shutting off and unresponsive as well. The strange thing is, when I reboot it, the battery is completely drained, every time. I just did a restore, so hopefully that will remedy the problem. Let me know if you guys found solutions... I'm on twitter: siLLLyMander

I have a few comments about iPhone 3G running v3.1, and iTunes v9...

VPN settings still won't retain the password. There is no security argument here as it is possible to set a Passcode to secure the whole phone. When first configured (way back in v2.x) the password was retained for the first couple of usages but subsequently I have been asked to enter it every time.
Messaging and email predictive text on the iPhone is still really inadequate when compared to my Sony Ericsson P1i. The SE remembers new words I've used that weren't already in its fairly comprehensive default dictionary, and offers them at the front of the selection list when next required.
Our providers in the UK/Europe already offer MMS services and therefore the "MMS Messaging on/off" switch in Settings/Messages appears to be functional on my iPhone, although I haven't actually tried using MMS yet.
I did the iPhone v3.1 upgrade and the iTunes (PC) v9 upgrade at the same time. This caused some confusion, what with being asked to restart the PC (for iTunes) when the iPhone was still being upgraded. I got bored with the Backup (it was taking ages) so I cancelled it and then tried again. This didn't cause any problems but I'm not sure it speeded up the process. I was surprised that the iPhone was pretty much wiped after the upgrade but a manual Sync put everything back on - a lengthy process but ultimately worthwhile.
iTunes v9 still won't retain custom column settings in the album/atrtist/track lists when in the SHARED section. The SHARED section appears in the left-hand pane along with LIBRARY, STORE, DEVICES and PLAYLISTS, and in my case it shows my digital hi-fi component 'Hifidelio Pro' HDD wi-fi unit to which iTunes can connect. It's really frustrating to have to reset the column-headings such as bit-rate and sample-rate etc every time iTunes is restarted. Custom column-headings are retained elesewhere, e.g. LIBRARY.

Where is the on screen volume control after click HOME key or how does it work in OS 3.1? Furthermore, the list of podcasts seems to scroll much slower... Loading the list also takes ages... I too want to downgrade to OS 3.0...

By: SharonRB

SharonRB — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 03:00:58 +0000

I tried to download the 3.1 upgrade Friday night and it was taking forever and got hung up mid-upload during the back-up phase. I did some online research and found that lots of people were having trouble after they upgraded -- some phones became unusable. Now I'm afraid to upgrade. Does anyone here know if I should go ahead and do it or if Apple is working on the problems with a newer release to come out shortly? I have a 3GS.

Since upgrading to OS 3.1 my phone will just shut off if I'm not using it for an hour. battery is fine but i have to reboot phone, never had this issue over the last year of ownership. I'm definitely blaming this on 0S 3.1 and I'm pissed. how can i go back to OS 3.0?

I still have the MMS features on mine after the update with AT&T Carrier 5, just can not send the message out. Get the red !. I still have tethering without a hickup. just curious as to why everyone elses does not work. Mine is not jailbroken either. The only thing I have done to it was change the carrier file. As a matter of fact see if you can change your setting under GENERAL>NETWORK>CELLULAR DATA. Mine is as follows:

MMS APN: wap.cingular Username: Password: MMSC: 66.209.11.32 MMS Max Message Size: MMS UA Prof URL:

might be some better settings available to get it to send but i'm still searching for them. restart your phone after the changes.

I had a sent message get caught in limbo. Kept trying to send but would not. I reset the phone but didn't fix. I removed my other two email accounts and it sent. Also, the phone has gone dead several times. Battery was fully charged. Had to hit the top power button to turn back on. Weird!! Never had these issues on 3.0

@icebike I had the same issue. Twice!

Two days after the upgrade, my phone (3G) was non-responsive, tried plugging in to the wall and itunes, hitting buttons, no reaction, black screen and unresponsive. Even tried calling it, the phone never rang and went to voicemail. 10-15 minutes later, hit the sleep/wake button, got a bright white screen that faded into my home screen. Got the runaround with support, and was told to bring to the apple store today.

Did it again on the way to the apple store this morning, however, it was responsive again by the time I got there, and they couldn't replicate the issue, so no replacement phone yet:-(

Never had this behavior on 3.0.1, but it now sounds like I'm not alone, so this may be a 3.1 bug?

A small point, but you make this error several times in your otherwise excellent post:

it's = it is its = belongs to it

Just remember, if the apostrophe follows "it," it means "it is," not "belongs to 'it'."

I have a 3Gs and my battery life now sucks because of the new 3.1os update. Don't they check this stuff before release. Geez. It takes long enough to get it in the first place. I thought they were testing it.

Is the VoiceOver in 3.1 still only for iPhone 3G(S)? Truly sucks if so. Besides the MMS, not having a voice command to dial from BT or to control the phone has been my biggest disappoint with the iPhone. Really, a $20 cell phone can do both of these basic functions, but not the iPhone?????

iPhone OS 3.1 resolves L2TP VPN issues (malformed packet errors) with Check Point firewall products running R65 with HFA 50 installed. If you still have issues, request hotfix 786 from customer support.

Only thing I've noticed is the very low 'click' sounds on the keyboard, whic is a bit annoying as I like a good 'click'! Does anyone know of a fix or can this be altered??

3.1 Kills Tethering on AT&T even if you are running 5.0 or 5.1 carrier files and you have the ability to edit APNs (via .ipcc file updates).

I just myself reverted back to the 4.0 carrier file since Tethering an MMS weren't working (so I saw no need to have a "hacked" carrier file).

I know that some have MMS working but I couldn't care less about MMS personally since I have full e-mail support.

One thing you may want to add to the list:

If you have an original iPod touch, you no longer have persistent access to the volume control. Double-clicking the home button ONLY brings up the playback/volume controls if a song from the iPod library is playing. Otherwise it takes you to the first home screen, the search screen, or the iPod app, depending on your setting.

Now I have NO VOLUME CONTROL at all when playing games or using music apps. This completely SUCKS. Whoever decided this was a good idea needs to be kicked in the nads.

I've already complained about it here, and I suggest all other 1st gen iPod touch owners do the same:

Notice the speed increase as well. Definitely was running clunkily since 3. Going from desktop sheet to sheet is actually now faster than it seems physically possible. No jiggy vibration. First backup was molasses. Prefer the muffled keyboard (now I can turn it on). iTunes 9 is best ever version. Love finally being able to rearrange apps in the desktop.

Not sure whther this is new to 3.1 but the volume control disappears when the sound is going out via line out (as when going through the dock). The volume control did nothing in those cases so it makes sense for the control to disappear at such times.

OK found a link that suggested I turn the headset off then on and try again. Voice Control now works on my 3GS with Voyager Pro.

I still have jiggling icons while moving them. Interesting that its missing on some phones.

I have the plantronics Voyager pro and Voice control on my 3.1 3GS does not recognize it. The "Call" Button is what you use to answer a phone call.

they removed the "vibrating while moving icons" thing like 2 betas back guys, FYI.

When you make this upgrade, does it clear the content from your phone? I want to upgrade but I'm currently without my machine and therefore back up and I don't want to lose what I have until I return home... Thanks

When I have new gmail via the Mail app it will appear in the Inbox for 1 second then diappear. I have to manually fetch email again. This started after my 3.1 upgrade.

The update was free for me and my 1g iPod touch. Was the $4.95 price for people who hadn't already upgraded to 3.0? It's so patently easy to avoid the software upgrade charge regardless ... I really believe Apple does this mostly for auditing purposes, can't understand why they'd leave it so easier to circumvent.

Quote Story:

Settings: Safari now, finally, has that toggle to enable Fraud Warnings for malicious web sites (like phishing sites, malware sites, etc.).

Turns out this is far less than expected as well: http://research.zscaler.com/2009/09/watered-down-phishing-protection-in.html

Quoting:

The phishing protection on the iPhone is ineffective. I've tested a variety of online/validated phishing sites from PhishTank. They were generally blocked by Safari, but none were blocked by Safari Mobile. In fact, I have yet to identify a single phishing page blocked on the iPhone.
