Update: Still tinkering, but we've seen a new "Save a Copy" option for 3G S video editing that lets you retain the original film while saving an edited clip (picture after the break, thanks Kevin), as well as some reports of MMS being activated, but it seems to stall before actually being sent out over AT&T's network.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
I find it curious that Apple has been very active in updating and upgrading its iPhone OS recently. Or have I been blatantly ignoring Apple news for the last 2 -3 years?
what's been changed???
probably not much...they're just going to use it to disable ultrasn0w...
WTF! From now on I want to see the news of every beta release of Visual Studio!
@EI8HT:
With 3.1 making progress, it probably means 3.0.1 is closer.
Which means my 3G S unlock is closer to being released.
Nah the iPhone OS has been progressing continuously over the past 2 years. There have been lots of little firmware updates too. Unfortunately with most releases they try and break jailbreak but lots of features and fixes have been added as well.
@robpetrin:
3.0.1 isn't going to unlock anything. It's going to patch the hole that ultrasn0w exploits and then no one can unlock.... unless a new hole can be found and exploited. dev-team says they might consider releasing the 3GS jailbreak after 3.0.1 but we'll see.
I've noticed a small thing is that the iPhone vibrates when you make the icons start wiggling
Really hoping that they've added Bluetooth volume control...
I just bought a pair of Sony bluetooth earbuds for about $100, and quickly discovered that you can't adjust the output volume on the iPhone... Since the earbuds don't have a volume control, this is kind of a problem...

What are you talking about? Use the ordinary volume controls, when Bluetooth is selected as the audio device the iPhone automatically starts adjusting the Bluetooth instead of headphone out volume. That's always worked for me.
I do not get volume controls either when I'm on bluetooth.
The volume controls on the phone disappear. The hardware buttons also do not make a difference.
I have no volume control on my headset or my bluetooth speaker, so that is a major problem.
I've noticed the same thing happens with docks.
However, I have volume controls on my speaker dock, so that is not that much of a problem.
But I'm sure there are docks without volume controls.
i've been annoyed at this too, on my jabra's i can control the volume, but even at it's lowest setting it's still rather loud, of course i'd like them to fully implement bluetooth for everything the iphone/touch can do with it
Bluetooth reception has been terrible for audio. I'm using a Touch 2G and a pair of Jaybird JB200's, I wonder if its software or hardware.
I bought a Sennheiser MM200. No Skip tracks functionality but volume controls do work. Sound Qualitys pretty good too for Bluetooth.Why Apple decided NOT to implement Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP profiles properly I'll never know. I half expect them to come up with a proprietary bluetooth headset / remote control and charge twice as much as anything else on the market.
hopefully this comes out soon so we can get the 3GS jailbreak out
Hmm, I'm a developer, and yet I don't see it in my list. I got the e-mail and everything. Silly Apple!
@Ishimaru
Nice, I didn't notice the difference between the tabs at the top. Seems there's a 3.0 AND a 3.1 tab.
WTF.
there is a new tab 3.1 silly rabbit
wait, you replied to yourself?
Haha, you replied to yourself. Made me laugh.
I hope this fixes the damn WiFi dropping issue!
Yeah, my wifi has been dropping like crazy recently, but I thought it was my router.
Yeah I know it's killing me. 2.2.1 = had all wifi bars and stayed connected. IPhone 3.0= drops and has 3 bars of wifi.
same here
Not here mine has been great
I dont think it affects everyone - I have several friends with 3.0 [on 3G and 3GS] and while most have the issue - a few dont.
Ive found a few threads online instructing people to turn off push notification, hard reset and forget all wifi networks - didnt work for me.
I've had the same problem on my Touch 2nd gen... and if they charge i'm going into a rage
Not sure if this is a 3.0 issue but I recall being able to use WPA2 prior to the upgrade, can't anylonger :(
SOLUTION:
SBSettings, Turn OFF Wifi and then Turn ON.
RESOLVES THE PROBLEM and yes, It is VERY annoying!
I had that problem too after the upgrade, I fixed by "forgetting" the network and redoing it.
After I upgraded my iPod touch to 3.0 I've noticed a long lag in connecting. Before the update, whenever I turned on my iPod touch it was very quick in connecting to my WiFi, now, however, it is taking a long time to establish a connection.
I agree, the wifi is very flakey at best after the updated firmware. IMHO the update broke wifi.
I'll give u the latest and greatest
Win!
I'd like to see some additional features added to the "find my iPhone" app - as well as tighter security as it pertains to enabling or disabling the app itself.
I don't see this in my dev center either.
I want to see more security holes and increased crash rate. Plz & Ty Apple.
I want $100,000 dollars!
i want to dig two chicks at the time
I want to bury two chicks at the same time (in the large hole I dug in my backyard).
It's in my dev center and there must be something fairly large upgraded. current OS 3 is a 7A341 build. The new one is a 7c97d build. Kinda makes me wonder. even when apple was doing the beta OS 3, they didnt jump letters that fast. must have been something fairly large changed?
So far I only see MMS support added, but doesn't work with AT&T
Man, I really wish AT&T would get there stuff together. Mms is not new and it's still not supported. Let's hope it's a lot quicker. I mean were using the gm bud now, so it should be a lot of fixes
I think that's hilarious that AT&T (the "official" iPhone provider) doesn't support MMS, yet JB iPhones on T-Mobile already support MMS.
I'm on O2 and had it since the 3.0 update. I used it once to see if it worked and that was it.
Does anybody actually use MMS?
That's all I did with my MMS to, checked to see if it worked and never again.
I can't remember the last time I used it on any phone
Any date for the final 3.1 being delivered?
If it doesn't take long, I'll jump the 3.0.
Probley bug fixes, looks like the dev was right, they said apple would release it soon
was at ATT store the other day. apparently lines cannot be moved and nothing major done on their networks until july 7th...the manager told the guy helping me to be quiet about it. so im assuming att is using this down server excuse to update their accounts for iphone mms. how sad is that. they have to allow this in the iphone users accounts....at least we get to use this by end of july.
No. No. One by one ATT stores are going through a software conversion from one system of internal software used for keeping up with accounts to another and THAT is why certain things cannot be done to those accounts in your area. The mms feature is hardly a big enough issue to take that long to integrate.
