Personally I think the iTunes app organization is clunkier and more frustrating than doing it from the phone. Kinda regret dropping my jailbreak.DoctorWho said:3.1 is seriously making me consider dumping the jailbreak. I love the idea of being able to sort apps through itunes. It's not quite categories but a step in the right direction. The truth is, I also don't use 90 % of the apps on my phone so I should just take the core applications with me anyways instead of trying to carry everything possible.

I have the same one and I've got a 3G. You get a warning on your iPhone saying "this device is not made for this blah blah" but it works 100% perfectly.DoctorWho said:Thanks, I'm assuming there really isn't any difference in the 3G connector to the 3GS. Hopefully they have a display model that I can test it on.

It asks if you want to go to airplane mode but you can say "No" and it's fineDoctorWho said:So it doesn't force you to go into airplane mode?
Not normal. Get that shit checked out.bjscott05 said:So my new 3gs isn't receiving texts and calls sometimes even though I have full bars of signal. I have to restart the phone to get old texts, voicemail, etc. Is this a normal problem or should I get a new sim card or phone? Any help would be great.
Did you do a DFU restore and then "set up as new iPhone"?DoctorWho said:Well, I've managed to completely bork my iPhone 3GS. I installed version 3.1 over my jailbroken 3.0 and now most of my apps are missing. They were in categories before and I forgot to remove them. So I tried a restore and have gone through the whole process of reinstalling everything and they are still gone. WTF? I thought a restore should get rid of this problem. They just don't appear on the springboard at all. When I go to reinstall one from the app store it says that the app is already installed.
This is fucked up!
Manics said:Did you do a DFU restore and then "set up as new iPhone"?
Yeah man. "restore from backup" on a jailbroken phone probably not the best idea.DoctorWho said:I haven't setup as new iPhone yet. I think that is going to be my only option. It wouldn't be so bad if settings was still there but that app is gone.![]()

Aristotlekh said:I got one of those as a parting gift from my employer awhile back. It's got good sound and does exactly what I want it to. You might need one of those plastic dock shrinker things though, because the 3G doesn't take up anywhere near the entire dock area, so sometimes it won't charge.
Damn I wonder why it gives a warning on the 3G and not the 3Gs. I just tried again thinking it might be a 3.1 change but it still gives me the annoying warningDoctorWho said:Just grabbed it. Works perfectly with my 3GS. No warnings at all.
EDIT: Restored my iPhone as a new phone. All my game save data - LOST.Oh well, better than nothing.

Multitasking
Of course this is just rumour but it's fun to speculate.
I would appreciate multi-tasking. Make it happen Apple

edit: sorry missed the part abou the settings app also being hiddenBigBoss said:9) If you have hidden any apps using poof, sbsettings, bossprefs or such, you should unhide them all prior to updating to avoid issues. Go to settings, enable restrictions, enter a password, then disable restrictions. That should unhide all apps you care about making you update worthy in one easy step.
Yeah those mock ups are complete bullshit fanboy mockups of what they want to see. That being said an OLED screen would be nice for battery life.BenjaminBirdie said:Holy shit that would literally burn through my pants after like one ring.
That said, if they were to implement multitasking, they'd likely lock it out of at least some older iPhone models.capslock said:Er, they don't need a new phone for multitasking, they can do that through a software update. Plus as others have said, that image is old.
Like what?hirokazu said:Look at OS 3.0, there's several features that are either 3G/3GS or just 3GS exclusive for no particular reason but to add more perceived value to the newer phone - to get people to upgrade.

Honestly, I still see no challengers. Unlike previous handset manufacturers, Apple is user driver in their focus. People really forget what an anti consumer waste land smartphones were before the iPhone. Carriers adding crap to phones. Carriers having way too much control on phone design and OSes. Carriers nickle and diming users with stuff that is now free. A lot of poeple like to hate on Apple, and that's fine, but you'd be ignorant to not be aware of their positive influence on the cell phone market today.VanMardigan said:My two year contract is up on April of next year. I skipped the 3gs, so Apple better bring it good with next year's version. I love my iPhone, but I'll bail if they keep with incremental updates and another company steps up with an awesome phone.
For a lot of people this is their first smartphone - or smartphone where they used most of the features.entrement said:Honestly, I still see no challengers.

Good to know I'm not alone on this. Not an issue on our end then. Will call Rogers or Apple if it continues through today.DoctorWho said:I do have Skype installed and the exact same thing is happening to me. Rogers in Toronto as well. I thought it had to do with me getting it off the US store with a separate account. Guess not.

mrkgoo said:Correct.
I also had to add a comment about incremental hardware updates - it's not like Apple are forcing you to upgrade hardware every single year. I don't even get why the hardware updates is something that is even remotely related to the operation of your current phone. You chose the iPhone for a reason, and those reasons will not have changed with each update.

Started before last night for me. I've seen since since they announced 3.1 on 9/9/9. Weird.StrikerObi said:TUAW reported about this. Something screwy is going on with the Canadian App Store.

Tranced Shadow said:For guys with a 3GS: Any idea how I can delete a section of video?
I know how to Trim, but it only lets me select one section, and I can only save it, not trash it from the rest of the video...
Kung Fu Jedi said:Buying a new phone on a yearly, or even every two years, basis is still a foreign thing for most people. For some reason, that is different with the iPhone. People think they want or need the new version each year, and they forget about a phone subsidy and the way the phone market usually works.
