I just installed this update on my 3GS and after the update, iTunes notified me that new carrier settings were available as well. When MMS came out about a week ago, my carrier settings were updated to AT&T v5.5, but today it is now at AT&T v5.6. Anyone know what the difference is?
I understand AT&T has/is rolling out HSPA+ 7.2Mbps in certain areas of the country now. Is the new carrier file supposed to activate HSPA+ when available? Anyone?
That's a good question, but I haven't noticed a speed increase at all.
Good. I have been noticing the not waking from sleep, and having to reset my phone to get connection quite frequently this past week. I was about ready to take my phone into the Apple Store. Hopefully this will resolve my issues.
resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep
That one is probably the issue, i has since my phone was ok and then couple of weeks back, it started to not turn on or would turn and then work fine for sometime and then go dead, thats what I thought anyway.
Took it to Vodafone service center in Mumbai and initially, the tech said it was my charging lead, so I bought a new one. Then it happened 2 days later and I took it in again. He tried to tell me, it was the same issue, so I went to the manager and he put my phone in for service. Anyway 5 days later, Apple via Vodafone send me a new phone.
No, that's for Window Mobile, Android, Pre and other smart phones that you always have to restart, random errors, crashing OS's. Wait... That's what this update is for.
Go Figure. I thought Apple Products Just Worked?
Hoping it Fixes 3G WiFi problems. WiFi has sucked since 3.0 and I continually have to re-enter my WiFi Password and then it drops from WiFi again. Apple told me to reset my Network settings & it didn't help at all.
I wonder how people with limited bandwidth carrier contracts feel about downloading a 200mb file every month for another version of the iPhone software that just breaks more things than it fixes.
I am thinking of jailbreaking my iTouch, so gonna have to pass up on this one untill dev team comes out with its own version. Don't really have any of the described issues anyways, so not much of a deal for me.
I'd recommend a jailbreak, if even just for SBSettings. I'm not much a theme guy though, I like the Apple theme.
A nice update would be, when listening to music or watching video and I touch the screen to bring up the volume and drag-to-seek thing on top... then touch the screen again to make it go away - it does not always go away. The tools stay there and the only way I can get them off is to either keep rotating the phone until it leaves or hit the Home button to escape.

At least you have WiFi, AT ALLL. On my 3G I have zero Wifi, and no data contract
I've been stuck on my old spare 2G for the last few weeks. It could be worse though, I could have no iPhone. Still, they need to address the WiFi issues. They have been widespread for nearly two month now. Even my 2G drops WiFi now and then
A couple days after updating to 3.1.1, I noticed that the iPhone wasn't getting a signal anywhere. Shut off and restarted and that problem was solved, assumed that for some weird reason the 3.1.1 update required two restarts to work right. Missed few calls since then even when the phone was on, that may have been the wake up problem. Hope this fix works.
All of these software problems that pop up remind me how massively complex the hardware and software in devices like the iPhone must be. There is a tension between the need to thoroughly test the large increases in software functionality that Apple regularly adds to the iPhone and the desire to get the new functionality out frequently. The iPhone OS project must be a pressure cooker for everyone involved. Results, despite flaws, have been beyond my expectations.

I thought it was just my router's fault. I am constantly on and offing it 3-4 times a week now.
Don't expect that until 4.0. In the meantime get a Pre. I'll stick with one app at a time, but much richer apps.
Personally I've only ever wanted one type of multi-tasking: The ability to play a radio app in the background. That's all.
My big issue with no multitasking is when I receive a text that needs answered immediately, I have to close the app I was in, wait for the messaging app to come back up, exit, launch the original app, and try to get back to where I was (if possible). On nearly any other platform it wouldn't be a big deal. So I'm hoping adds the ability in either the next major software update, or with new hardware. Because if Apple doesn't, I will be sadly in the market for a phone from a different company (can't say I would miss ATT much though).
I hope this addresses a strange problem I've been having where the album art (not coverflow) randomly assigns album art to various videos, tv shows and podcasts.
My old iPod touch used to do similar, would put cover art on the wrong songs. When I re-synced everything (wipe clean then reload) it fixed the problem. Maybe you can try that. I think it happened when I would interrupt the sync process by stopping the sync, think that screwed up the album art.

Hello? That's what I feel- exactly!
You should be able to back swipe and go right back to previous app.

That's a good point. I don't get many text though, so it doesn't affect me like you. It is very important they add this though. Like a "quick reply" option for texts.

These are my usual download speeds:

But will it run Crysis?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Where's the WiFi fix?
And I'm crazy? Simmer down now!

I think it still may be. My friend's linksys wifi router hates my iPhone, while at home it works great. Might be a WPA issue on either end.

It is not the router. It is not the router. It is not the router. It is not the router.
It's not the router that hates the iPhone, it's the iPhone that hates the router, even Apple ones. It's a bug in the bloomin' OS!

I have an Apple Airport express.
I thought everyting is supposed to just work in it's own ecosystem.
