IPhone :: 3GS Can Download IOS4 Without Installing It?
Jul 2, 2010
I just purchased a 3GS iphone that is running OS 3.1.3 on it. Not sure if I want to upgrade to 4 yet, but don't think I would want the 'new upgrade/fix' Apple is coming out with that would actually list my bars lower than they show now.So my question is, can I just download iOS 4 without installing it yet in case I decide to install it later? If so how? I am new to iphone's so forgive my ignorance.Also, anyone who is going back to their 3GS are you upgrading to 4 or keeping the old OS on there.
I was updating and installing to iOS4 when my iphone 3G suddenly says it can't read my SIM card and was locked. On my iTunes screen I was told I needed to insert a SIM card in order to continue with the installation of the iOS4. I used my friend's SIM card and my iphone was able to detect it however my itunes would only allow me to the option to restore my iphone which I did and now all my camera roll, notes, contacts and sms are gone and the backups in my iTunes are all post-iPhone-crash.
I am not sure this is the right place to ask on GM iOS4, I would like to upgrade Gold Master iOS4 to mine 3GS right now and when it released the official firmware for public on 21st June, would I have any problem to upgrade from GM version?
Was just wondering what the best way to upgrade from the iOS4 GM to the official iOS4 release. Would I be better off doing a backup of my iOS4, restoring my iPhone to iPhone OS 3 and then going back to the official iOS4 or do you think we will be able to straight from the GM to the official version of iOS 4. Or is the iOS4 GM identical to the official iOS 4 release?
Will iTunes know that the official release is newer than the gold master release? I assume its not out yet as iTunes keeps saying "4.0 is the latest release" So what will happen when its out?
I recently bought an xperia 10 from the Uk however, when arrived it had on it basic setting chinese & english keyboardI want to remove theChinese and instal alternative keyoard in addition to english.
I dont know what happend... but now I no longer have MMS? The little camera icon/button to attach a picture is not there anymore..anyone help please? is ATT now charging MMS or am i missing somthing.
I just did a complete restore and JB and unlock using ultrasnow. Phone and data work but SMS and MMS does not. Is there something I need to do in order to get it to work
I am planning on JailBreaking my 3GS before I sell it, and I am wondering how stable the JB is for the current 3.1.3 for my 3GS, also how stable is the JB for iOS4 because I seem to be reading about a lot of ppl having issues with Cydia and JB with Spirit? Is there even a JB for iOS4? and will the new i4 have one soon after it's release?
One thing, among other things, that I think is missing is the ability to type in different font types....such as bold, italic...then times new roman, helvetica, comic sans, etc. With how powerful the iPhone is, don't you think it should be an option? I really don't think that is material for iOS5, but just as an extension of iOS4. Post what other things are missing....widgets, whatever...
I have a 16gb Iphone 3g.I went to radio shack and the guy told me that I shouldnt get the update. He said my phone will run CRAZY slow.Is this true?I dont plan to get the os4 gm out now but the one apple releases on monday.Should I do it?Also, my provider is AT&T, I thought about jail breaking the phone but everyone seems to say not to since well, I have at&t. Would you guys do it?
Obviously multi-tasking is out, and I'm hearing to wallpapers on the homescreen. What things CAN the 3g do, for those of you who have had iOS4 for awhile? I have searched the internet for a little and most just found 'iPhone 3G will not have all features", which isn't very specific.
Got my new iphone 4 and i am ready to sell my 3gs. Its running on the new ios4 should i sell as is or wait for an unlock and then sell. I dont wanna get scammed either so need some advice.
I was wondering if anyone else is getting this bug. My iPhone gets into a state where in the Photos app, I am unable to change the screen orientation to landscape. This is only in the Photos app - Safari continues to work just fine on this front.
The only way I have found to resolve the issue is the restart the phone, and then it works again.
This is not the first bug I've found in Photos in iOS4/iPhone 4 the library can be slow to update, sometimes requiring me to close and reopen the app.
I have a 3GS, running iOS4. It has never been 'jailbroken' before.My model number is MC131B.I have iTunes 9.2.I have a MacBook Pro.Can I jailbreak my iPhone?
Has anyone noticed their phone freezing more than usual on iOS4? I upgraded my 3GS to iOS4 a few days after it was released and since then is has frozen and needed a hard-reset 4 times. I only ever had to do that once with in the whole year of owning it until I updated.
I may be missing something very basic here, but myself and two mates have just upgraded to iOS4. I am able to create folders, but for some reason I cannot multitask at all, and my friends cameras now work much faster than mine, which has stayed at the speed it always was. The upgrade to version 4.0 has only given me the ability to create folders, and absolutely nothing else.
My girlfriend has an EVO 4G and after playing with it I made a list of things that I admire about Android phones.
1) The ability to work with Google Docs
2) Notification system
3) Speech to text in the keyboard
4) Weather widget Then it hit me that most of the time, if I thought of it, there is a solution somewhere. For 1) Last night I found an app called NoteMaster that lets me take notes in Google Docs and the webapp lets you edit spreadsheets. That's most of my uses for Google Docs taken care of. I haven't thought of or found a solution for 2 or 3 yet, but if anyone knows of a fix let me know. I have an idea for 4, but I haven't been able to find it. If you could change your background so that it displayed the weather for the next 24 hours, then when you turned on your phone from sleep mode you'd have a fast way of getting the weather. Even better if you could get to sync with and display a todo list. I saw a picture of a weather app that had a background behind the weather. Couldn't find the name of it, but that would also be a nice touch.And I don't want to jail break.
After upgrading my 3GS to iOS4 the 3G reception is much worse. In many places where I always have had 3G reception I now have only Edge. I have a friend who has exactly the same problem.Anybody else experiencing this?
Is this a feature? It's one of the biggest reasons I jailbroke my iPhone. Might seem dumb to some, but I really like personalizing my ringtones/sms tones. I've been doing it since I first got a cell phone like 10 years ago - seems like such a standard feature, it's annoying I have to JB to get it.Everyone in the world has the tri-tone sms sound.
