What nesting structure do you actually want?

Its 1.10am in the UK, I am still up because this fucking update takes so fucking long, I have work in the morning and I want to go to bed. Every time I think it's done it restarts and does some other bullshit. If I'd known I would have done it tomorrow >:(
-
Yeah the update for me took about 2 hours total. First it had to backup, then install the OS, then restore the backup, then restore the iPhone apps. A coworker of mine spent almost all day installling and gave up.
-
Also, WHERE THE FUCK is my software orientation lock on the iPhone 3G? It's bad enough we don't get multitasking, background screens, and bluetooth keyboards! I understand hardware limitations but c'mon!

I am buying a new one, but for the next 3 days I want orientation lock!
-
It's actually not as grand as it sounds. You can only lock it into Portrait mode. If you have an app or something in landscape and turn on the lock, it changes it back to portrait, which I found to be weird. I'd like to lock my phone when doing heavy texting and web surfing in portrait mode. :\

It's on the multitasking tray that is disabled. It's pretty retarded. They should have just had a tray popup with only rotation lock and ipod controls.

-
Check your last thread for the solution. Did you not read your old thread?

The OS installs pretty quick, but the resync of everything... yeah it's not quick. Good news is that you dont have to sync everything to play with it. Uncheck music syncing, or podcasts, or whatever else you dont want right now and it should go much faster if it only has to sync your apps. Then plug it in overnight and let it sync your media.

I've installed most of the iOS4 betas and each time I would wait about 10-20 minutes for the OS to install. Then it would start syncing everything from the backup. This is on a 8GB 3G. I've never seen these hour+ waits unless it's syncing gigs of media.

Is there any need to reflash with this one if I did it with the gold master last week using the shift+restore trick?

I can't get 3.0 for my ipod touch. the link for it on the site aggressor gave seems to be dead. -

Yeah it's kinda of dumb. They give you the option for non square icons, then they make them square anyway. I probably just need to give in and make it square.
-
Latestchatty keeps opening in landscape for some reason too, even though I'm holding it vertically.
-
Yeah I know. I'll be fixing that soon
-
-
-
Can you change the background on 3G with iOS4? I cant work out how.

But what about their Open GL drop-shadows and hardware-accelerated font smoothing?!

Works fine and dandy here. Even fixed a couple of problems that came up in 3.1.3.

What do you guys think of these new icons for the Latestchatty app?

I don't have a good resolution image of the crest (the one at the wiki isn't very good), so I would have to rebuild it with a better source image.-

I like the crest better, personally. The maps one is a nice idea but could use some work yet, it's too... I dunno... Empty?
-
I like the clocks one! :D

It's not using the shack logo. It just seems legally complicated

The update went very quickly and smoothly for me, but I notice a slight bit of stutter scrolling on the phone now (3Gs). Also, how do you tell if an app in the new app switcher thing are actually running or are just recently opened?
-
-
12 apps, no nested folders or pages in folders
-

-
I had to do the same, so lame, I don't know why they put this limit on...

When I try to install it on my 3G, I keep getting an error message while it's trying to back up my phone:
An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-402636798)
I don't really want to try and continue on without the backup. Who knows what craziness is going on to make the backup error out. I don't want to end up with a brick!-

OK on my 3G after a 2.75 hr procedure and a reboot (because it was fucking slow) everything seems to be good and I dare say things seem faster/quicker. Could just be a perception thing (the launch animation is faster, the page scrolling is smoother) but I dare say things are faster now.
