i cant install it without restoring my phone
ill stick with beta 3 for now
Booya!
Yah, I wonder what the changes are, too bad I'm gonna lose all my folders, good thing it's still early
here's a list of the differences so farhttp://gizmodo.com/5542143/heres-whats-new-in-iphone-os-40-beta-4?utmsource=feedburner&utmmedium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+gizmodo%2Ffull+%28Gizmodo%29
Crosses fingers for the ability to hide/delete stock apps
teether
whenever i pick up someones iphone or ipod touch with a black screen it doesn't even look right to me anymore after just a couple weeks with beta 3, it's kinda depressing that blank background
9to5mac.com is reporting that AT&T tethering is now added as a feature in beta 4!!!!
How can I get this without being a developer and without having that key? Can someone provide me with one please?
I also read the it is bringing tethering.
i have a question that has been lingering about in my thoughts for some time, now... with the orientation lock ability, does this allow for the home screen to rotate to landscape like the ipad? i would REALLY enjoy that feature.
@Arin
soooooooooo would I dude!!!!
Fu?k tethering. They need a mobile hotspot app like other phone I don't want to plug my iPhone into my computer to get Internet
Hi guys,
just found out that Apple has finally enabled the file sharing option via iTunes in iPhone OS 4 Beta 4. You can now transfer files from iTunes to selected apps on the device. I have posted two screenshots and the story on my German blog: http://www.schimanke.com/index.php?/archives/1473-Apple-veroeffentlicht-....

You can bluetooth tether too. So you can keep the phone in a dock charging and connect to the computer using Bluetooth!
@nestoB true but bluetooth is alot slower than usb connection or Wifi connection like a mobile hotspot at least hope fully they give us the option
Anything worthy in this release ?
@E$F,
most cable modems still have the ability to connect over USB. It's more than fast enough for sharing cellular data.
@ dimwit yah but they also give u Ethernet cords by default on cable modems so why can't they give us a mobile wifi tethering option
Any news whether Apple is supporting sorting by Album Artist in OS4's iPod, or whether we have to continue having to work around their broken tag reading system?
Have they / will they ever fix the iPod coverflow so that it only displays the current playlist contents and not everything in the library?
@E$F
hey guys,for what it's worth:
I'm down in South Africa, & have been using internet tethering since I got my 3GS,
and I notice no speed difference between USB and Bluetooth tethering
