But I have over 140 applications and the rest is filled with music, so I was expecting this." Does that mean, if i was to backup my up-to-date os2 iphone 3g (UK - 02) and then update properly (not jailbroken!) i can then restore my old backup and still have all my texts etc.? “The install took forever – maybe 30 minutes to install the OS, another hour to restore my backup, and then another hour and a half to install all of my applications.

I didn't see that option on my phone (2.2 software) I had to use the "trick" of setting the passcode lock and turning the preview off etc., and then (like you said) if someone borrows your phone to check a map or something, the text message pops right up! I really wish they would fix this. The iPhone is great; however, I find that it lacks a lot of basic phone functionality (just my little rant). R. hmmm interesting.

I believe that toggle was there since 2.0. With it off you'll still get an alert but it won't show the actual message. Some people like being able to see the message on the home screen even with the iphone passcode locked, but others want the privacy of not displaying the message. (There are some amusing "My GF texted me inappropriately while my boss was looking at it" stories out there!) @Rye – Thanks!

I have a question for you. I've noticed that 3.0 adds a new feature under Settings > Messages > Show Preview. There's an On/Off toggle. Can you tell us what that does? Does it disable the annoying pop-up that I get whenever someone sends me a TXT message? I would love just to be notified once (vibrate or sound) without the message and sender pop-up... thanks! Jordan, great informative blog!

But no way back so just have to live with it. To FIX your YouTube Problems you need to restore the iPhone as a brand new phone do not restore from a back up. Yes it is a pain in the ass putting everything back on but it WORKS Let me know if it works for you Great Read & i am having all the problems you are having.

looks like there are a variety of problems with 3.0. i think i can still consider myself lucky because i dont experience other people’s problem such as syncing and navigating the settings menu takes 30s to complete.

fwiw, i’m using the 2g iphone. restore to 2.2.1 -> quickpwn -> upgrade to 3.0 -> setup as new phone

I've noticed a few bugs/issues in OS 3.0: -very slow lag after manually entering a couple dozen contacts (exiting the app and reopening solved this) -in my gmail account, after i delete items from any folder other than the inbox, the back button in the upper left goes away. i have to exit the app and reopen to get it back. -when searching for apps in the app store, sometimes the search bar will disappear, much like the back button described above -when adding a bookmark in safari, the pop up page is way of the screen, totally misaligned. anyone else experiencing these?
