For once I'm being quite cautious.. only downloaded it so far.. not updated (partly cause the missus will be calling me soon) Could do with opinions... disabled backup via terminal back in the day of overnight backupping still not finishing.. should I just go for it and deal with the mess if it all goes wrong (all I'd loose is my SMS history as everything else is either sync'd or in "La Cloud") or do a backup first?
Tethering works a treat! I'm also interested in how O2 will know what is legit phone traffic and what isn't? I've not got MMS but a friend also on O2 contract with a 3G iphone has had his activated. Maybe they're staging it or something?
Yeah i was curious about the tethering myself....they must have a way to distinguish the two otherwise they wouldnt have put it on like that I would presume? Anyone care to try it out for the month?
From what I've read, they can't really tell - The network file that you're using uses the same details for tethering as it does for normal net traffic to the phone. I guess they might smell a rat if you started downloading torrents all day whilst tethered, but that'd be on the fair use clause... BTW - Posting while tethered.
Can't imagine many people stumping up £15 / month then . Couldn't get my iphone to pair with my macbook pro though. Any pointers goo? edit: Still, i had 3.0 installed by ~ 6:30. You would of thought they would have activated MMS by now!
Goo; Any more info on that o2 tethering profile you posted? where did u get the info from? I want to make sure tha it cant be detected and if i suddenly start using it and I get a hefty I may be quite upset! That link and profile, I have just installed it but is there any more info? link perhaps? Thanks goo!
Seems a lot snappier than 2.2 in general use, which is nice. They've also ironed out one of my biggest annoyances, which was the speed at which it erased characters if you held down backspace. It's nice and quick now Is anyone else on Gmail not seeing the "Continue search on server" option in their mail client though? No word on it from Google, but I've seen other people claiming that it works for them. Mine got activated really quickly and I installed it around the same time, so I don't know how they're queueing them. Edit: Turns out you have to go to "All Mail" to get the server search feature. Bit of a mistake IMO - they should let you search everything from the inbox, but I suppose there might be compatibility issues with different IMAP folders etc.
I got all the info from here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=721946 And this is the contents of the O2 file: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>DefaultsData</key> <dict> <key>apns</key> <array> <dict> <key>apn</key> <string>wap.o2.co.uk</string> <key>type-mask</key> <integer>-2</integer> <key>password</key> <data>cGFzc3dvcmQ=</data> <key>username</key> <string>o2wap</string> </dict> </array> </dict> <key>DefaultsDomainName</key> <string>com.apple.managedCarrier</string> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDescription</key> <string>Provides customization of carrier Access Point Name.</string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Advanced Settings</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>uk.o2_contract.profile.apn</string> <key>PayloadOrganization</key> <string>O2 Contract UK</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.apn.managed</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>6BA0B083-530B-40B8-A352-46EAE9C205AD</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDescription</key> <string>O2 UK (for Contract) - BenM.at</string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>UK O2 Contract</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>uk.o2_contract.profile</string> <key>PayloadOrganization</key> <string>O2 Contract UK</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>Configuration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>B8B88ABD-7585-463C-9833-87AD7E80A8E2</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist> You can delete the file whenever you want - it's not a permanent hack.
You can, of course, now use the same selection controls for cut and paste to select text for deletion. Select what you want rid of, and then hit the backspace key on the keyboard. Even quicker!
interesting! just tried it and works a treat on my laptop!! very fast too! The million pound question is - Can o2 detect it and do we get charged for it? Hmm.. we need a guinee pig...
yeah i got mine to work. I simply asked my bluetooth client to connect to my phone and it connected! Straight forward for me?
have they just killed the hack? its not working anymore!! I get a message asking me to go visit the o2 website to activate tethering?
Took 3 Restores (turns out my first download at 6pm was corrupt!) finally got 3.0 on and working fine. Something that I rather hoped would get sorted by this version, like the retarded way SMS messages and previous messages are displayed, but alas not, it’s worse! Example Left: 3.0 , Right: My poor attempt to make better use of space Why eat so much vertical screen space for the send and photo buttons in messaging! Also what’s the point of preview when it goes that small, you can’t read it even line by line! just seems a bit hashed together to me.
Open question to anyone that can answer: what would happen if i install a virgin tethering file? would I be able to use that? would it charge? what do you reckon?
Just installed the update, and I can agree things seem a lot snappier... I'm also a bit curious as to whether I'd get charged for tethering via goo's link.. (obviously if I did it via o2's i'd have my wallet raped all over the place..) Also, I've text MMS to 1010... how will I know when it's activated? and an aside.. will I get billed separately for MMS for will it use like 5 of my allowance of SMS for example?
O2 send you a picture when it's active. It's billed as part of your inclusive allowance - 1 MMS = 4 normal texts. Has anyone else noticed that the Notifications (push) part of settings is completely absent? Are we waiting for Apple to flip a switch and turn them on, or has it been moved somewhere else?
