chaps Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 So, I updated a few days ago. But today I can't get service in places I have had no problems before. Just google 2.2 update issues, I guess I'm not the only one. I did some research and am currently trying to "downgrade" back to 2.1 Just a heads up, I know some people have updated no issues. But I'm just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbet Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I updated to 2.2 and love it. Safari never crashes anymore and has some nice UI changes. Also, Maps street view is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaps Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yeah I had it for a few days and safari was awesome. BUT HAVING SERVICE WAS EVEN COOLER. UN-upgrading is being a pain in my ass as well lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zac Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I haven't upgraded yet because I keep forgetting. I don't want to do it then hate it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaps Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 I haven't upgraded yet because I keep forgetting. I don't want to do it then hate it though. I'd just hold of a few more days, or just google the problems people are having with it.. and still no signal for me, f it. I'm going to bed.

danalive Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i had problems trying to get the upgrade to install...it took fucking forever, but haven't had any problems since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroyingthescene Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I haven't had any problems so far with mine. Sorry to hear it's crapping out on you (sent from my iPhone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'll be doing an upgrade soon...I waited because upgrading also means re-jailbreaking the phone and that takes a little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not having any issues. 2.2 is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaps Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. The 2.2 upgrade was the only thing I could think of. I wasn't able to un-upgrade either. I guess I'll have to go to the apple store and deal with the genius bar, but theres no way I'm going anywhere near the mall today. . .

kirbs84 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I just called ATT to see if I could get an early upgrade so I could get an iPhone, they said no. shitty. How long before you become eligible? They let my wife upgrade early, but I don't know how close she was to her upgrade point. Probably just depends on the person you talk to.

Or does that not affect the firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I upgraded and re jailbroke. Like it so far. Seems to be a bit faster. It was taking a good 10-15 seconds to get my camera up and running, now it's around five or so. The podcast downloading thing is a big bonus, really liking that, don't care about the street view, though it is kind of cool no issues for me so far..

jhulud Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Question to iPhone owners...I have AT&T...and I'm eligible for an upgrade in my contract. Would the iPhone still be the expected $199 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does that not affect the firmware? Tried it. I'm on hold with ATT at the moment. Talked to the Iphone tech for about 2 minutes and she goes 'uh yeah, you tried everything, att's problem now' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not due until June, I'll probably call again. Ask to be transferred around, you'll get it eventually. called back again, talked to someone else, they said it's too far away (June) for them to bump it up, even though I've been a member for about 10 years. They said they could do it if it was a month or two, but not this far away. shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then I'm guessing there will be a new version out, so you could possibly have your choice of a new version or a cheaper previous version.

They'll do anything to keep you once you're speaking w/ retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the iPhone still be the expected $199 then? Yep. That's about how much you'll for a Blackberry Storm or Bold. It's the standard for new "smartphones" that are recently released.
