I have had the pleasure—yes, I mean pleasure—of working with the beta 3 release of OS 3.0 for the iPhone. I flashed my phone with the firmware about four hours ago, and it is just flat out fast. Finger gestures, taps, application response are all faster than any of the OS 2 builds.
I had lost my push e-mail notifications from both Mobile Me and my corporate Exchange servers. They are back. The new feature of adding the push notifications to your e-mail folders is also functioning at 100% now. In previous builds, if you did not flash the phone and set it up as a new phone (meaning if you restored from back up), Youtube broke. That is no longer the case.
I am excited for everyone because they seem to be releasing a new build about every two weeks or so, so I can only image how fast this is going to be when released to the masses. Did I mention it was fast? It’s fast. Applications pop almost instantly; it’s like a different experience all together. The best just got better.
As far as push notifications go, there are no applications available yet to test except my super, top secret, nobody-can-know-about-it application I wrote to do exactly that. It works, so I expect applications from the likes of AIM, Facebook, and MySpace to be using them to the fullest.
If anyone is curious about anything, sound off below and I will do my best to get answers for you.
So, would you say this build is fast?
I read somewhere that apple warned that old applications not compatible with 3.0 were not working in this beta do you have any problems with any of the apps that were already on your phone before u upgraded?
So basically anything like photo editors or anything involving maps don't work either but apps like social networking and games do?
Awesome… Is there a date for it to be released to the masses?
I was a genius and bricked my iphone trying to update to beta 3 but i found the website i linked in my name above and they were able to get me up and running in a couple minutes, just my 2 cents for anyone in the same boat i was.
I have without knowing updated to 3.0. Then I have tried to down grade to 2.2.1 but unable to restore my iPhone. I have also contacted to the service provider but they are also not having answer with them.
Please help me & guide me, how to restore my iphone either to 3.0 or 2.2.1
Looking forward to your positive response.
Thanks & Regards,
Shyamang
