K thanks.. downloading now.. er.. after download.. Just double click the image & it will auto update for us via itune?

using iPhone 3G in official launch country will not have that problem*...as iTunes will provides carrier update to the iPhone.....

*i do face that problem before while in NZ, probably because that i change some of the file after jailbreak...after restoring with a fresh JB-ed firmware it seems to work fine again.

after finish d/load fw, open itunes & connect iphone, hold "shift" key & press restore, locate ur fw file

Ok.. Thanks man.. Just to double confirm.. Not UPDATE ah instead of restore? M using non JB official unlock iphone3G

one thing i notice for 2.2 the sms lag seems to be shorter now ...b4 when i wuz on 2.1, it takes time to load the sms

hm. more option in app store now. xaxaxa

wannna know the "maps" app in iphone

after the map is viewed, is it stored in the iphone and in the future i can view that particular area without having the need to use 3g to download it?? or the maps view are all in the cache and deleted upon exit?

for that, you will need to JB your iphone

Once you jb, you can use a third party app called MapsOffline that will load map files (prepared by you) into the cache. There is a thread here somewhere that details it. Look up davidgary's iPhone for Dummies sticky and refer to item #24. Without that app though (if you don't wish to jb) yes, iPhone Maps will store cache for a particular area which won't be deleted upon exiting. However the cache saved is pretty much limited to just the map area shown on screen before you exit and not all that you have previously browsed.

iTunes will automatically backup for you when you update anyway =)

backup corrupts and i cannot restore

thats why =(

oo. thats sad. i could restore mine. hm.. maybe you didnt full backup? D:

so lots of u did upgrade to 2.2FW? cool.... wanna know more about it

yup 2.2 is good as it sorts out meticulous flaws such as crashing safari, slow settings and text message initialisation et cetera.


i would rather give up JB for those perks...

That post sorta brought a huge "!" mark on top of my head.

Was at a meeting today with my investment advisor, and after all the necessary work done and set aside, we talked about the iPhone, because I noticed she is using one. In my excitement, showed her the 2.2 Aifontriji, and she was excited about its features and the stability of the system on the whole, while on 2.2. She was complaining on SMS lag, and Safari booting her out to Home screen. Her unit is an Aifonej by the way. Took a look at her About page, and it was 1.1.4!

Blurted out that she should update hers to the latest firmware, so that she could have stability and use Street View, which she liked very much. Did not realize, until now, from those simple sentences, Nokia, that 2.2 on Aifonej = LOCKED! Thank God I stumbled upon this realisation, thanks to this. Otherwise, I'd be in a pickle because she's already excited to had me do her firmware update for her, but I asked her to back her phone up before we can proceed any further.

Thanks, Nokia!

@ stringfellow

apparently, you can! and it stays unlocked provided you use the update, instead of restore feature!


however, your JB materials will diminish alongside the update unfortunately.
