[seb]

not having a pop etc but i thought apple products 'just worked'? or do they always have a few teething problems on a new update?

 

[David]

TBH no, the iphone has had loads of bugs.

No mail is the most annoying.

 

[Tom]

Fixed it, thank the lord for boss prefs

 

[sneeks]

The problems seem to occur more often with Jailbroken phones.

 

[Tom]

I had to jailbreak it to fix it.

 

[sneeks]

I thought you normally have a jailbroken phone anyway?

 

[Tom]

No, the 3g was o2 only and had the same issues.

 

[Adams_16v]

I had the apple screen of death last night, had to to a full phone restore today....

noticed the web browser was crashing a lot also before it crashed fully.

RE Flutter:

Hello Friends:

Thank you for downloading Flutter! You are getting this email because our database shows that you live outside of North America and some of our users outside of North America have had trouble getting their passwords. So, if you are not having trouble or you actually are in North America, please don't read any more of this email. Just go back to enjoying Flutter!

If you have had issues, we apologize. However, to get back on track the following few steps are very simple:

1. Delete Flutter from your iPhone and re-download it from iTunes. Don't worry, it's still free!

2. Sign-up for Flutter but just be SURE to use the international dialing code format (e.g. 0044 or +44 if you're in the UK) when you login or register.

And that is it. You'll get your password and be good to go.

Of course, our team is constantly responding to questions and concerns that you may have. We have an update coming soon, so your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please check out http://getsatisfaction.com/flutter/ to speak directly to one of us, and check out http://www.flutterpic.com for any frequently asked questions. We'll respond as quickly as humanly possible.

Thanks again for your continued support!

[FiXX]

[Adams_16v]

OK followed this guide exactly, now the phone wont boot or nothing.

[The Hoff]

Google DFU mode, put it in that and then do a recovery on it.

 

[Adams_16v]

Yeah I've done that matey, installed itunes 8 again, restored the phone, synced it, all good, apart from "waiting for activation" now on my screen constantly!

Edit - Just changed to iphone is activated phew!

Dunno if to try jailbreaking it again, unless anyone can link me to a guide they have used that worked OK?

Cheers

I just used Quickpwn, but that was on 2.0.1 and not the latest 2.1 software.

 

[Adams_16v]

that is what i used mate, all seemd to go OK till the final reboot and it just never came back up. not even the apple logo, just the screen on but black, and it kept connecting and disconnecting to the USB.

Extra days battery life out of mine under 2.1

 

[Daz]

Definetely better on battery, but then, I found 2.0.2 pretty good too.
Got about 1/3rd left on the meter, and it's been on for 1 day and 2 hours usage.
I have WiFi on most of the time (at work, at home) and then 3G/Edge when travelling and Bluetooth on all the time too.. so pretty good.

As good as my RAZR2 anyway, and that had just Bluetooth and Edge.. and very little usage.

 

[The Hoff]

Got everything but 3G and Push turned off of mine. Not noticed much difference battery wise.

 

[Rich]

Not altered any use age of anything under the update.

Location Services, 3G on all the time, Wi-Fi when at home, Bluetooth is off though.

Still not as good as the 2G was but better at least.

 

[DaveLiquid182]

I get call failed now with 2.1 grrr
