New Features in Firmware 3.1 *ultrasn0w users DO NOT upgrade*
Written on 1:17 PM by irockish
If you are a ultrasn0w user and before you get excited please note that you should not upgrade. Why? 3.1 already comes with ways to stop ultrasn0w just as @musclenerd said it would.
So if your planning on buying a 3GS, do it NOW. 3.1 is sure to fix the holes that the dev-team broke through to unlock the iPhone "3G".
So what comes in the new firmware? The following:
- Video editing now gives you the option to trim your clip then “Save as copy…” rather then writing over and replacing the original clip.
- Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
- The iPhone now vibrates when moving icons
- Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
- Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01 (*this is what will kill ultrasn0w)
- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
- APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them. New tools for the developers
- MMS buttons are back in the Messages app for AT&T customers but still don’t work. I wonder when later this summer is going to be?
- Copy & Paste functions also work in the address book as well as in the numeric keypad of the phone application. Nice little improvement, it did work when you would go into the contact and hit edit to get the number now allows you to highlight the number and copy will come up
- Videos can be saved from e-mail attachments and stored in your photo album.
- Find My iPhone feature, still only for MobileMe users, the audio alert Blasts at full volume regardless of what the ringer volume is set to.
- Does not fix the pitch noise for iPhone 3GS users that were experiencing this problem.
I guess with all these features, that is why it's 3.1, instead of 3.0.1 which probably would've just been made to kill Ultra, as I'm sure is Apple's main concern rather than getting MMS out to it's customers.
