New iPhone update?????

ericvet8b · August 22, 2009 12:11PM

Hi there:

I have just clicked on iTunes "search for new updates" for the iPhone, and it says there is one for "User settings for my iPhone", or something like that....

It seems bit strange to me, as it doesn't have any number (like 3.0.2 or similar) and it is the first time I have seen an update of this type. Also, I haven't heard in this website or other forums about this, so I am a bit suspicious, in case it is a virus or similar. I haven't downloaded it yet...

Anybody has got this message? Is this OK to download?

Thanks

PS.: by the way, I am using iTunes 8 and on a iMac.

I checked this on my Mac and I did not see any updates available. Are you in the US? I wondering if AT&T is starting to roll out MMS and this is how the feature will be activated...

Did it say you have a carrier settings update? I have that too but so far I have declined to update it. I still have to update to 3.0.1 too, just waiting till I have some time to download it ect.... I think it must be something from O2.

O2 changed the carrier settings for the 3.0 upgrade. Problem is, itunes wants to set it back to the old settings so if you updated your settings manually and it asks, don't install it or it will stop your data access working until you enter the right settings.

Nothing in Australia, tethering and MMS started working with Vodafone here as soon as I updated to 3.0.

Switching to my Optus SIM (My iPhone 3G is officially unlocked) seems to switch off visual voicemail and messes up the MMS.

Good thing I never use MMS apart from a couple of tests.

Thanks Marvin. Yes, I changed them manually (well, the guy at the Apple Store changed them for me when I bought it so my data, mms, etc... could work).

I'll definitively keep saying: NO!!!

New iPhone update?????
