iPhone apps S/D

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!

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

yeah i can't figure out how spellcheck and autocorrect interact

hah stet are you gonna change the zing icon?

Yeah, was working on a new one last night.

why don't apple add a mac section to the itunes app store?

The one problem I'm having is my gmail account, which I have set up as an exchange account. It just isn't working, won't connect. Setting it up just as a webmail account works fine.

how the hell in this day and age, when i receive notifications frome every single little stupid app, can gmail not support push?

I think they're having some local problems and expect push to be back soon (how now is soon tho I wonder?).

phew my phone works

only took MORE THAN SIX HOURS

at least I know to stop using that "compact my songs" option to squeeze more music onto my phone

the upside is that now you can hear all your songs at their full length

I swear, if I have similar problems with iPhone 4 I will get violent

Update took me 30 minutes this morning over breakfast.

Dan, last night:

Took a few hours to back up and install everything, but pleasantly surprised that my 3G actually runs a lot more smoothly now. Guessing in restoring during the update it managed to sort itself out. So much so I reckon I can happily wait til next year to upgrade to 4 now.

Although I put everything in to folders and am now sad I can't habitually flick through 8 pages of apps. Think thats the main reason I like this phone tbh.

the camera is faster now

Podcasts were acting weird for me today. iTunes syncing duplicate episodes over to the phone, which was then failing to show time elapsed during playback, all sorts of oddness.

3G feels much slowere and even more responsive than before right now. screw this

tesco pricing is attractive hmmm

12 months @ £20 w/£350 for the phone = about £100 more over the year than you'd pay for an unlocked phone
