iPhone 2.1

OK so I now have the 2.1 update and here is what I have found so far.

It took about 20 mins to download and install
Backup is much faster but still slow it took 6 mins to backup
All the Apps that wouldn’t update STILL will not update VERY POOR
Looks like I will have to delete Apps and reinstall or restore my iPhone as new
As soon as I turn on 3G I get no service NO CHANGE THERE it did find the Edge network after a few mins this is a LITTLE better

Just noticed that I again have no service. After leaving it for 20 mins and still no service I turned 3G off, straight away I had 4 bars. Looks like this is no better.
iPod App Looks alot better
Genius Playlists work well but you are limited to 25 song playlist
You can expand them when they are synced back to iTunes
I will monitor the Battery over the weekend
Doesn’t look like there is Push data for IM

More Options under Sounds
Contacts are faster

I decided to do a full clean install so that my Apps work and update OK. After I finished the install it took just 30 mins for 1 of my Apps to crash.

iTunes has just crashed syncing my iPhone, is this a new feature?

GREAT Job Apple

Any thoughts?

iPhone Why Back it Up?

OK so after I have had MORE problems with my iPhone and it continued to crash I figured it was time for the MONTHLY restore, yes since version 2 I have to restore my iPhone at least once a month.

After previous restore having problems with corrupt backups I decided to let the backup run, so after 2 and a half hours the restore started.

After the restore it ask’s me if I would like to build the iPhone as new or restore from the backup, I opted for from backup. After another 1.5 hours the iPhone rebooted and asked me the same do you want to rebuild new or from backup. The iPhone is fully restore and working problem is iTunes thinks its in a state of rebuild I have no option but to restore from the new backup. After another 2 hours Yep you guessed it I have the same options.

The only way I can get my iPhone back and iTunes to see it as working is rebuild as new.

So my question to any one at Apple is why oh why are we taking 2 hours to backup the iPhone when the restore does not work????????

Come on Steve give me an answer……….

I really am getting sick of this Beta phone, Please Please let the update fix all these problems. Again I have no faith in Apple at this moment in time.

OK now I have had my rant I can go back to setting up all my App’s, oh and thanks Apple for loosing all my App data so happy about that.

Photo problems with my iPhone

Anyone else having problems with photo’s on there iPhone ????

After I take pictures with any app, mainly airme but I have tried others including the official camera app, I get a corrupt photo and then my photo app just crashes when I try to open it. Then all I can do to get any of these apps to work is connect my iPhone to my mac and delete the photo.

I have tried to rebuild the iPhone but still get the same problem. I have tired a restore and a whole new install with the same results.

I am really starting to HATE my iPhone now as I am loosing to many great photos.

I really can’t wait for the next release this month but have a bad feeling that it isn’t going to be much better.

Starting to loose a lot of faith in Apple right now.
