Hi everyone,
have anyone tryed to use the apple bluetooth headset with voice control? works it? can i press the button and call with the apple bluetooth headset?
 
Regarding your last point, you can start an email and copy&paste your photos into it as an when you need to.
yeah id like to see a more direct option, like how you can select multiple photos before you email within email itself, sometimes I start writing an email, then realize i needed to insert a picture, copy and paste would be good in this situation, but i would also like a photo icon similar to mms
 
Some things I would love to see in this update:

- the ability to save an mms video that is recieved

- the ability to cancel a text as it is sending, this was in the early beta in 3.0

- the ability to choose the picture quality size sending an mms video, right now the quality of video being sent stinks

-the ability to directly select media to add to an email, right now you have to select the photos first

I don't remember ever being able to cancel a text message as it's sending. Can anyone else confirm this being in an early 3.0 beta?
 
Hi

I've updated to 3.1 on my iPhone 3G 16GB, and I now cannot connect to the Internet using 3G or Edge. Wifi is fine.

I've checked the settings and everything seems ok - anyone having similar problems?

Justin

Why don't you ask this in the iPhone SDK forum from Apple dev?
I'm sure you'll get an answer overthere ;).

BTW: Have you synced with iTunes after you've updated (disconnect device, restart iTunes, sync)? Anyway, I advise the dev forum for your question!

Greets.
 
I updated to 3.1 last night and now I cannot access the internet via Safari or email. Very odd.

Ive tried turning off wifi, 3g and even rebooting. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks, Dokter Mac - however, I've already tried the suggestion in there (did so before checking there), so I thought someone here may be able to assist.

Will try some other things now :)
 
I wish they would make an application for notifications.. An app that lists all your notifications that u may not have seen or attended to...

Did you install a profile for tethering? If so, remove it. Worked for me.
 
There's a setting to turn on the battery percent on the 3GS. Do you have it turned on?

I just looked through all the settings I could find. From keyboards, to date and time, etc. I could not find an option for it. Where is it located on your phone?

Assuming it isn't a case of simply missing it in the settings just now, I suppose it could be a plist modification which gives you the option (such as the developer menu in older Safari versions which I think is now an official option in the preferences) which might have remained from my Jailbreak as I didn't wipe my phone.

It's under Settings->General-> Usage on the 3GS
 
Why is apple calling it 3.1?
As far as I can tell, there are no real new features. Why not call it 3.0.1?

Because there will be three more betas before it is released, and by then there will be more new features. You don't think apple shows it's hand in the first beta, do you?

+1

It has been discussed in other threads.

Some thought it was a stupid idea.

I think it is a brilliant idea.

Then, you could click on the notifications and have them take you to the app that sent it.
 
There is no real reason, How else would the phone know when it's at 20% battery life?

Have you ever gotten more than one 20% percent warning within a few minutes? I have. I'll be playing a game or something heavy duty and I'll get the warning. I'll stop playing, put the phone in my pocket, take it out a few minutes later and do some browsing or listen to music. A few minutes later I'll get another 20% warning. Same goes for the ten percent warning. The battery meter goes up and down depending on what you're doing. For some reason they believe this is less of a problem on the 3GS.
 
Probably - but why was it added for AT&T customers in 3.1? It's still strange, and I'll be investigating.

It was probably added for roaming purposes. If say you come here to Canada, you can choose whether you want to roam on Fido or Rogers.
 
This is what I hate about other Apple users - when an upgrade is available and Apple slap existing customers by locking out extremely basic software features, they act like its a hardware thing. We've been using the 3G for a year, and it wasn't so utterly incompetent then. There's an upgrade and suddenly nobody could possibly have done anything on a 3G because it wasn't powerful! You guys should work for the Ministry of Truth.



I'm sure the 2G and 3G can handle it. After all, there's a battery API to get the percentage and the iPhone OS uses percentages internally to choose images and display the 20% warning.



No. Voice control is not a hardware feature. There are so many ways you're wrong.

Don't be a hater, brother. First, it's probable that the precision of the battery logic circuit is lower on the older phones, but, yeah, it may be just a product differentiation thing. Second, voice control may be possible on older phones, but the particular code Apple wrote to do it relies on particular instructions associated with the new chipset. They didn't have to do it that way, 'tis true. But they did, probably because there was some minor engineering or performance benefit to do so.
 
Location Profiles

Have any of you devs heard or seen evidence that Apple is considering a "Location Profiles" option? I've suggested this via Apple's feedback, but I've never read any discussion about it, anywhere. What I mean is I'd like the ability to define my network preferences for 2 or 3 locations so I can easily switch. For instance, "Home" for me would be WiFi on, 3G off. "Out" would be WiFi off, 3G on. I'd like the ability to do this easily instead of navigating through the Settings screens.

Uhm, this sounds like what your battery is supposed to do.

If you stop playing your game and put it in your pocket it's going to calculate your battery signal to how long your battery would last with it on stanby in your pocket. Then when you start playing a game again or turn wifi on it will recalculate how long your battery will last under these conditions. I learned this from the early days of use of a PSP. That seemed obvious to me that it would do that.

"The battery meter goes up and down depending on what you're doing. For some reason they believe this is less of a problem on the 3GS."
This dosent sound like a problem, sounds like a feature.

Now if this didn't happen then something would be wrong with your battery signal indicator.
