Firmware 2.2 Feature – Screenshots of Lock Screen

Author: dexxter // Category: Announcements, Firmware 2.2, Software, Tips

Apple
I’m sure many of you keep finding new features of firmware 2.2 as you
use it more and more. There are actually quite a few nice new features!
One feature that was brought to my attention is that you can now take
screenshots of the lock screen with firmware 2.2! You could already
take a screenshots of your iPhone or iPod Touch’s screen by hitting the
Lock button and the Home button at the same time. However, this feature
did not work smoothly on the lock screen. Well, it seems Apple has
taken pity on us and made this feature work on the lock screen as well.
Which means, no more trying to trick your lock screen into getting a
screenshot or using lengthy processes to get a screenshot of your lock
screen.

This is a very exciting news for me….I actually wouldn’t have even
realized this if I wouldn’t have received an email about it from a
viewer (thanks for the tip Patrick!). I was still doing it the old school way…signing into my iPhone via mobile. Happy screenshot taking!

Users Face Serious iPhone OS 2.2 Problems

Author: dexxter // Category: Bugs, Firmware 2.2, Fixes, Tips

Users who have updated to iPhone OS 2.2 are facing some significant
issues, including problems with third-party apps, Internet connection
issues, problems deleting email and more.

Third-party Applications broken Some third-party applications
will no longer function properly under iPhone OS 2.2 due to API changes
and other modifications. These include a number of applications that
make use of CoreAudio. These applications will generally need to be
updated by their developers. However, you can try uninstalling then
reinstalling applications for problems that do not involve API or other
strict compatibility problems.

“Could not Connect to Internet” Some users are encountering an
inability to connect to the Internet over cellular networks after the
iPhone OS 2.2 update. In some cases, this issue can be resolved by
switching from 3G to EDGE (or, for carriers other than AT&T, the
appropriate GPRS network).

“SIM card not inserted” or PIN lock Some users are receiving an
error message indicating that the SIM card is not inserted, or that a
PIN lock is in place when none should exist.

The SIM recognition issue can sometimes be resolved by removing
the iPhone’s SIM card, then connecting it to your computer and
restoring. iTunes may then reload the iPhone software successfully,
after which you can re-insert the SIM card and attempt synchronization
with iTunes.

If you get the PIN lock message, try the suggestions in this tech note.

Kilometers instead of miles in Google Maps It appears that
Google Maps for the iPhone now displays kilometers instead of miles for
various countries. You can temporarily resolve the issue by selecting
‘USA’ in International settings, though this obviously introduces other
problems for users outside the U.S.

Problems deleting email Some users are unable to delete emails
from certain accounts, especially AOL accounts after the 2.2 update.
This problem can generally be resolved by navigating Settings >
Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (Your account name) > Advanced >
Deleted Mailbox, then setting for the “On My iPhone” Trash for a POP
account, or “On the Server” for an IMAP account.

App Store extremely slow The App Store is extremely slow after
the iPhone OS 2.2 update for some users. This may be a server-side
problem that Apple will resolved shortly.

iPhone 2.2 Gets Street View, More Features

Author: dexxter // Category: Announcements, Firmware 2.2, Software

The developer-only iPhone 2.2 software sounds promising so far, boasting hidden features like Google Street View, auto-correction toggle, and emoji icons. It better be good, considering Apple is already breaking promises, having missed the September deadline for push notification.

firmware 2.2 coming soon!

Author: dexxter // Category: Announcements, Firmware 2.2, News

The new iPhone 2.2 Firmware debuted today(to developers only). While
I like the idea of having quicker access to Google in my iPhone
browser. . .I can only imagine how much Apple will rake in from this
tiny change alone. I’m curious to see how easy it is to touch the
refresh button too.

iPhone Dev Team Unlocks the 3G iPhone

Author: dexxter // Category: 3g Iphone, Firmware 2.2, Hacks, Iphone Dev, Unlock, Videos

The news comes from a video post at their official blog. The following video shows they have gained access to the baseband with the ability to run custom code.

Popout

There hasn’t been any announcement of the release date for the new
Baseband Tool. The specific tool might get leaked, but you can expect
it to be in the next release of QuickPwn(PC) and the Pwnage Tool(Mac).
When the new software is available, you’ll be able to find it here at
Installer Apps.

The real question is how long it will take for Apple to react to
this. I imagine that Apple isn’t too worried about jailbreaking their
devices. They are responding and preventing new models from being
jailbroken so far(2nd Generation iPod Touch). . .but it’s only a matter
of time before that is hackable too. I would think that AT&T will
be pressuring Apple to fix this(and any future unlock methods) with a
software patch. And with reports of the 2.2 beta firmware being seeded, a new patch is coming soon.

iphone 2.2 new feature “Deleting that App? Please Rate It!”

Author: dexxter // Category: Firmware 2.2, News

We’ve already reported
on iPhone OS 2.2 enhancements, which include Google Street View, Bus
Schedules, viewing walking and transit directions instead of driving
directions, and the ability to share locations with other users.

Now a Greek language website, iPhone Hellas,
is reporting that when a user decided to delete an App from their
iPhone running OS version 2.2 an application popup window is displayed
asking them for feedback about the App they are deleting. The user is
presented with the familiar five star iPod rating system and a “No
Thanks” button. Uses can swipe their fingers to select from none to
five stars pressing the “Rate” button to send your rating while the
other button opts you out of the rating system.

Softbank Plans to Bring Live TV to iPhone Users in Japan via $100 TV-Tuner Card

Author: dexxter // Category: Accessories, Firmware 2.2, Hardware, Iphone, News

Softbank has announced that it will be
selling a TV-Tuner card add-on for iPhone 3G later this year to address
a widely-publicized feature omission for iPhone users in Japan.

The add-on TV-Tuner card will also serve as an extended battery pack for the iPhone.

Softbank to sell TV-Tuner card add-on for the iPhone

There have been reports that though Apple’s iPhone 3G has been a
runaway success in the US and other parts of the world which is evident
from the record breaking 6.9 million iPhones sold last quarter, its not doing too well in Japan.

This has been attributed to lack of features that are familiar with
Japanese customers such as ability to watch live TV, Emoji icons
(Japanese name for the picture characters or emoticons used in
messages) etc.

iPhone firmware 2.2 beta 1 that has been seeded to iPhone developers has already revealed that Apple is planning to include support for Japanese Emoji icons in iPhone firmware 2.2.

By selling a TV-Tuner card add-on, Softbank is trying to address
another widely-publicized feature omission for iPhone users in Japan.

The add-on card is expected to retail for $100. It will include an internal Wi-Fi module and an external antenna for tuning into 1seg
mobile broadcasting service available in Japan. The add-on card, which
will also serve as an extended battery pack, will stream live
television to the iPhone over Wi-Fi through an iPhone-app that will be
available for free on the App Store.

The TV-Tuner card add-on is expected to be slightly more compact
than the iPhone but a bit thicker and lighter at about 2.8 ounces and
measures approximately 2.0 x 3.5 x 0.6 inches.

Softbank and Apple are hoping that addressing these two feature omissions will help boost iPhone 3G sales. However, it remains to be seen if iPhone users in Japan would like to carry another device with the iPhone.

Apple might want to also consider bringing flash to the iPhone as Business Week
had reported in August that users in Japan were complaining that the
iPhone is incompatible with the features of many Japanese Web sites
because it lacks Adobe’s Flash animation software.

You might remember that Paul Betlem, Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems, had confirmed that Adobe was indeed developing a Flash Player for the iPhone but had noted that it depended on Apple’s approval.
