iPhone apps S/D

All I know is that my iBook felt slower and slower with each OSX release, and it has been the same story with my MacBook. I heard that 10.6 was supposed to have focused on speed, but I don't think it will help my first-gen MacBook, since I just missed the 64-bit CPUs.

Because you can invent better algorithms and more efficient ways of doing the same thing

You CAN, but generally, the product marketing people who are prioritizing everyone's work put "make old hardware faster" down at the bottom of the list, well below "make this stupid genie animation when I minimize a window."

Stet may be an exception to this rule. Zing.app just gets better and better.

Am I not people?
Yeah, sorry, I xp'd and didn't see your post was what I meant. Trust yr report more than Twitter bitching, too.

(tu schwantz!)

I'm gonna install it. If nothing else, the full wipe it does may clear out some cruft...

I have so many folders now. I really didn't know where to stop. Now I have almost everything in folders.

i don't think i like folders. i'll probably change my mind, but right now Swipe-See-Tap seems more intuitive then Remember-Tap-Tap.

Downloaded it for my 3G. Seems faster not slower so far. Got all my apps down to 9 folders. Much cleaner.

hey 3G owners, been hearing about excruciatingly long download/install times with the 3G, like 5 hours. Anybody had similar experience?

1.5 hours to download, 1 hour to install, going on 35 minutes trying to get my phone to recognize the music I've selected to sync onto my phone

ps: this sucks a gigantic amount of diseased pussy

New/updated spell check

The spell checking feature in iOS 4 has been refined—no longer does the device simply change your word to the word it thinks it should be unless you tell it otherwise. Now, it underlines your questionable words in red and, when you tap on them, it offers up possible suggestions

oh my, this is my #1 love/hate peeve about the iphone spellcheck...fixed

Not so much -- they fucked about with text boxes that don't have spellcheck, so that tapping a word with a suggestion now replaces the word (it used to keep it). Making loads of mistakes because of that.

took about 30 mins for my upgrade. so far no problems. only complaint is that the folder interface is just kinda ugly. still better to have all my apps in obvious places.

re: download/install time... mine took probably an hour start to finish. Probably would have been faster, but I stepped away and it sat on some prompt for awhile.

just notices that itunes keeps my playlist folder now.

3g is taking forever. Am removing the music first to see if that helps.

3g died during backup. Had to restore, back-up, and now I'm updated and syncing. About 2.5 hours in...

Wow, my 3GS took about 20 minutes.

Is anyone else having problems opening their applications after upgrading their OS? I currently can't open anything that didn't come with the phone.

Seriously, fuck this.

(3G btw)

try resynching the phone with itunes, i had the same problem.

My wife's 3GS also only took about 20 minutes... I guess nobody at Apple invented better algorithms and more efficient ways for their updater to work. ;)

Resyncing now, I got "oh btw I totally suck ass and had some unspecified error restoring stuff, so let me wipe your phone and try again!"

Really happy I moved away from a Windows Mobile phone for this bullshit.

^what happened to me

at least you were only 2.5 hours in and not FOUR

My theory is that iPhones (at least the 3G models) have some flash corruption issues that they don't talk about. My iPhone randomly tells me "Updating library" from time to time, and when it's "finished," all my music is gone, and I have to re-sync. Then this business with the upgrade. Smells of flash issues.

Done. Took about 3 hours...

so here we go on update #3

if my contacts are gone, I may kill someone

Took about 30 minutes on my third-generation touch. There'd better be an iOS 4-compatible version of Drop7 soon.

seriously I am a software engineer, why have I spent almost FIVE HOURS trying to upgrade a stupid phone

anyone who says some bullshit about how bulletproof and convenient Apple technology is, feel free to suck my dick for the rest of your natural life

a helpful hint: don't attempt to sync your music with the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps ACC" option checked, because iOS 4 will not recognize any of your songs and will make you click confirmation boxes about every single song (if you're lucky, they will come in batches of 2-3 songs) in the playlist that you attempted to sync

Installing mine now.

ANGRY BIRDS

Seems to have installed okay. What's with the crater background tho?

didn't have any trouble updating this afternoon, took maybe 20 minutes. where are these app folders people are talking about? mail stuff is cool though. otherwise can't tell any real difference.

Angry Birds still works - 15 more levels today!

--akm

drag one app onto another and it will folder both. then just drag apps into that folder.

ok so after 2 hours, afaik this pretty much made it possible for my background to be omnipresent and uh

just updated. dick still the same size, didn't lose any weight either. massive dud imo

oh wait

my dick

way hueger

thx u apples

i don't think i like folders. i'll probably change my mind, but right now Swipe-See-Tap seems more intuitive then Remember-Tap-Tap.

yeah i only have three pages of appz anyway

stet i feel you on the switcheroo with rejecting/accepting spelling suggestions but i prefer this way i.e. the default being to keep your spelling, why cause i am usually kerrect rite

this is worth it just for the new way your home screen snaps back into view - feels tight and nifty

xp aye, the other method is some microsoft "os thinks it knows better than you" bullshit.

i haven't checked if this is fixed yet but one thing i fucking HATE is that you can turn OFF autocapitalization but if you have autocorrect turned on it will capitalize the word "I" (and others) - wtf!!!! stab stab stab

yeah hate typing "china" & other proper nouns w/ autocorrect on and autocap off - also they should realize that autocap should never be turned off for entering contact names unless you are making contacts with people who had very liberal parents and give them all lowercase names

argh mine still does the autoreplace
