Do you guys have the lagging/hanging problem on v2.1? If so, please report if this has stopped in v2.2

Sahil,

I have that irritating lag on 2.1 !

A friend of mine updated. He reports a caller ID issue.

So should I or shouldn't I?

Caller ID issue has not yet been resolved. The developer who has been releasing the fix says that Apple has changed the formats, so he needs to learn that again. You can dial out without problems, but when a call comes, I believe it will just show the numbers, even if the person is in your contacts. This might be fixed in a couple of days, hopefully.

This is the one issue that my friend has had, so far.

I have downloaded the original restore file but have not gone ahead. Now I will wait for a couple of days before I take the plunge.

Thanks Srijit.

hm, I dont have that problem. What format is he storing the numbers?

srijit · 25th November 2008, 19:01

Will ask and report back. But I suspect that the is using a 098xx format for mobiles, since he is dependant on the Caller ID hack. If one is using +91 9xx format, then I think there should be no problem. Anyway, will ask him.

I have not used any Called ID hacks since the last 4~5 firmware revisions. And I use the +91 format for both mobiles and landlines.

Why is he dependent on the caller ID hack?

srijit · 25th November 2008, 19:57

Tadu, he is dependant on the Caller ID hack since he has got more than 200 numbers which are in 09xxx format. He says that numbers in +91 9xx format are working fine without problems.
So N_C, you can upgrade without issues, if this is the case

I too use the +91 format. It was a pain, but I only had to do it once. Guess my friend is just plain lazy

I use +9198*** and sometimes the caller registers with 098*** so i've had that issue. i'm tryng to update all my 492 numbers to +9198*** and then check if there is an issue,
The crazy thing i did was save the number with both formats as and when I had the issue..
So it's not solved period.

ya caller id is a problem with me as well. Openssh was not visible on Cydia. So i restored it three time and all was fine on the third attempt.
Otherwise the phone is good.
For applications add ths source: http:\\cydia.hackulo.us and then install: "MIPatch".
Restart you phone and now you can install all cracked apps...

Updated to 2.2 yesterday but not without a few hiccups (and emergency chats with Tadu) - first the Pwnage tool (2.2) downloaded from iClarified failed to put together the custom IPSW. It failed about 7 times, so I downloaded the tool again from the iphone-developers blog and then it worked.

Finally iTunes on my Mac Mini kept downloading the legal update from Apple without searching for the custom ipsw on the harddrive despite pressing the option button while clicking update.

Had nearly given up when I decided to try this on my laptop (Windows) - copied the custom ipsw file across to the laptop and synced the still-in-DFU-mode phone with the iTunes (not the latest version) on the laptop - BINGO it opened up the explorer window to locate the custom ipsw on the laptop.

So after a few anxious moments, I was able to upgrade - not sure if this problem is caused by the Mac or by the version of iTunes. To be on the safe side, do this on a Windows PC with the older version of iTunes (i.e., version before 8.0.2).

So steer can I sync back to my Mac itunes after the upgrade?
My windows laptop has itunes 8.0.1 and isn't the update to 8.2 necessary for the upgrade to 2.2
pls confirm.

Dont think so - at least not if you're using a custom IPSW (i.e., jailbroken) because my Win laptop was running 8.0.1 when I upgraded.

johnda · 26th November 2008, 13:38

steer one more thing. On the iclarified site there is a win and mac version, so if i'm going to use the win version do i have to download the ipsw(for win) or Are they the same for both cause I got the Mac one already ( I remember reading that you moved to the PC after trying on the mac so I guess the ipsw was the same. or was it?)

normally_crazy · 26th November 2008, 15:10

Updated to 2.2 and lost my wifi. Spoke to tadu - he asked to go back to the original 2.2 and not the custom restore.

tried doing that and the phone is stuck in recovery / DFU mode. Any idea how to get out of it ?
