1.1.4 cool :)

1.1.4 is really cool... (perhaps 1.1.3 bu I switched from 1.0.2 so I don't know the difference...)

I installed regions patch 1.1.4 from iClarified... It solved my telephone format setting problem. Dates and times are in Turkish format now...

Recent calls, received calls and missed calls time and date problem solved...

I started to receive sms messages from banks and my operator... (I started to receive commercial messages too. I don't know if this is good! ) In short I can receive sms messages from alphanumeric senders...

Home page paginatinons cool... I've three pages now... I installed Categories too.. Apple shoul include this in a later upgrade too...

Music seems to be popular for iPhone. I already have a guitar, a piano, a drum, an instrument called gangsa and I have MobileScrobbler (Last.fm for iPhone)

I upgraded to 1.1.4 at last!

Thanks to Zibri. It was pretty easy, no crash, no freeze. Straightforward... I regret to wait so long...

Do not to forget to backup your photos, contacts etc.

Thanks again Zibri...

Problems solved?:
  • I look forward to gettin an sms form my bank. I hope bank sms problem is solved. I can't wait to see. I also hope dummy alphanumeric sms problem is solved too. (They were crashing sms app and I was having to delete that sms from sms.db using iBrickr and sqlite.)
  • My one other problem was the dates and times of called numbers (and missed calls). Some of them were appearing junk dates and times. I wonder if this problem will be solved too...

What's new:

  • Keyboard keys have optional keys now. If you press on a key and hold you see more keys.
  • The ability to send an SMS message to multiple people is now there.
  • Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation
  • Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
  • You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen. You can change their orders, change the icons on the dock. If you press on an icon and hold you see icons moving then drag your icon wherever you want.
  • The home screen supports pagination. If you have icons more than one page you can drag your screen to the right. Home screen bottom shows how many pages you have.
  • You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen
  • Double press home button goes to favorite phone contacts. You can change it to go to ipod.

more iPhone music from iBand...

so far...

my iPhone is still 1.0.2

I use/Play most:

Installer : Number 1 app. A must definitely. You can't install anything w/o it.
iSolitaire : Famous PC game. When you open all the cards A's fall down and move as you move your iPhone.
iGo : A very clever Go game. I could not win a game yet.
Safari : I check my mails, read newspapers.
Categories: You can sort your icons into folders. Useful for the ones who installs many apps.
SummerBoard : Extends your springboard (home screen) to have more icons. A must for the ones who installs 3rd party apps/games. Without it you can't find apps you installed and you can't run'em.
Customize : You can change the order of your icons. Not as amusing as in 1.1.3 but useful.
