Updates and Fixes in iPhone 1.0.1 [Updated]

Wednesday August 1, 2007 5:56 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Apple released iPhone Update 1.0.1 yesterday. Here is a list of updates/fixes that appear to have been included after scouring the forums.

Warning

- It forces a full restore prior to update if you have a customized/hacked iPhone, so make sure to save your Camera Roll which will not automatically get synced prior to restore.

Not Fixed / Other

- Safari is still crashing for some users.
- Missing option for WEP or ASCII password (image) for Wifi password. The iPhone must be able to determine this automatically.
- The checkered screen pattern was not affected by this update.

Fixes

- VPN appears to work more reliably.
- Not fully charging battery indicator appears to be fixed.
- Passcode lock now offers time-out options up to 1 hour.
- You can automatically BCC yourself in Settings -> Mail
- Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding remembers the last phone number you entered.
- Some people claim that the speaker is subjectively louder.
- Compatibility improvements with certain iPod accessories that access audio via the Dock (including Belkin Auto Kit).

Apple also posted an updated User Guide (PDF).

well, seeing as how i have 5 ringtones and a library of music on an external hdd i don't really see the need to upgrade to 1.0.1. They could've at least released some new apps or something with this update :confused:

Don't worry, an actual enhancement update will come soon. This update was mainly to address some specific security issues.

Hex passwords still work. Just type it in as you normally do. It just figures it out whether it's a WEP password or HEX key.

I do not see this in my updated iPhone. Is this true?

I'm convinced that BT and WiFi connectivity is more consistent.

I'm delighted to report that my screen seems to be smudging less. Couldn't be happier.

One other thing I noticed is the before the update, while scrolling with my finger up and down through any menu, my finger would end up not where I first put it on the screen. Now, it does.

Now both my speakers on the bottom work, although one is still louder than the other, might just be that one song...

I think edge is crashing more, it keeps telling me that it can't activate EDGE, presistently, and then while the dialog box is up telling me that, the data loads underneath it, and it seems to be running more slowly overall. A quantitative test shows I'm getting data rates as fast as 195 kbps to as slow as 89 kbps from packet to packet.

My VPN now remembers my password like I like for it to!

Edit: I'm not sure what my ears are telling me anymore. After installing the update I was 100% sure there were two speakers working, but now I'm not so sure... I had previously been so acutely aware that there was only one speaker, I felt sure I was hearing two, but now I think maybe there is just one... I don't know.

You know I thought this must be craziness talking... but you are right. Before if I covered up the left speaker, I couldn't hear anything. Now I can hear something. Note, the right "speaker" is actually just the mic, so they must have made it louder or something.
