LOL @ 1.1.3 iPhone update

Ya "viewmymessage.com" is horrible. 80% of the time my message will either not load, will load incredible slow, or it's just too much of a pain to copy over the name and password(...with no copy and paste..)...

Although, being able to text multiple people at once will be nice, as this will be effective for my weekends.

I would have liked to see the iPhone evolve a little faster as well. It seems like every time I want to boast about it, the picture message thing is the first topic that comes up. Kinda takes the gusto out of the sales pitch, ya know?

As far as "locate me", my phone nailed me down to a circle just a hair bigger than a city block. I was pretty impressed.

If you use iToner, your ringtones are gone.

That's what I was afraid of......

you dont need any program to make ringtones. all you gotta do is change the .m4a extention to .m4r and open the file with itunes (obviously get something to edit something down to 30 seconds long).

Does it crash like 1.1.2? Sorry for the hijacking......

I'm liking the update so far. The new Map features are great for me. I use it everyday to get to whatever job I have and instead of having to go on my computer the night before and do a mapquest, I just find my current location in the morning and type in the address to where I need to go. The iPhone is nothing short of perfect for my lifestyle.

Really? Mine has never crashed since I got it. This may seem simple, but did you try a complete restore??

If mine crashed all the time, I would take it in for a replacement as it's obvious that isn't necessarily a common problem with all iPhones.

Multi-person texting... yeehaw.. Lets see AT&T pull the stick outta their faces and let the iPhone send and receive MMS. Cheap "children without fathers" (yes, "children without fathers", do the math)... </rant>

Better complain to Apple about the MMS not AT&T. The device has to have the functionality in it to support MMS. The AT&T network fully supports MMS, the iphone does not have that functionality.

How / Where do you download the iphone update?

I ran software update on my mac with the iphone attached but my iphone works just like before.

you have to go into iTunes with your iPhone attached, and click "check for updates" on the iPhone screen in iTunes. THEN iTunes should pop up with a message that says something like "new software available, would you like to download/download and install/ignore" then just pick one and let it do the rest! simple!

Yup. I was about to make a thread. I've noticed if you send a text and then turn the screen off, the messages will end up stacking funny(the last two recieved texts below the most recent sent text).

I am loving the new update. I love the new Maps feature of displaying your location. Really excellent addition that makes it very helpful for figuring out directions to where you need to be. I also LOVE the ability to add Safari pages to my main screen. I have added Google and an investment site that I view all the time. Now both are just one tap away, not two or three. Simple, but really nice.

I am finding the update to be very stable, but then I had no troubles with the last version either.

i know what you mean about the text being out of order. What is the deal with that? I cant figure out why it would do that.

everything working fine for me here after about a week of use. Much much better than 1.1.2.

You can also now create ringtones in Garageband. It's super easy and you can use any MP3 you have on your computer. I made about 7 yesterday, and I'm gonna have a few more in a few minutes. Just drag the song to GB and cut it down to where you want it.

I love the 1.1.3 update! My problem was I updated both of my iPhones to 1.1.3 and then found out 1.1.3 prevents my Garmin Nuvi GPS from paring up with the iPhone. It worked perfectly under 1.1.2 and all previous versions.

Luckily, I got my original week 26 iPhone replaced today (low sound volume since day 1) and I got a brand new week 1 iPhone with 1.1.2 on it! I am not upgrading this new phone till I hear that my GPS can once again pair up so I can use the GPS handsfree. I don't need it to work now, but when vacation comes this summer I will.
