Two problems concerning iPhone firmware 3.1 have caught our attention.
- We will speak at length about the first about him because it affects one of the innovations proposed by Apple at the time of the release of firmware 3.0, security with the Exchange servers. Apple in effect decided to add a function of encoding of the data. One cannot reproach them this increased security, but it functions only on the iPhone 3GS, making obsolete the 3G and Edge which cannot support this innovation.
Apple proposes a solution and advises people affected to ask for their administrator of the Exchange services to disenable encoding. The chances that they accept this in the professional world are close to 0, and this will not be a good advertisment. - The second problem affects certain owners of the iPhone 3G who have posted on the Apple forums or to us. even though they are not numerous, their problem is somewhat aggravating. From time to time, without any warning or particular use, their telephone dies. The only means of recovering it is to make a reset (by pressing the two buttons).
These people are looking to find the cause this problem.
In addition to these two points, one can quote the fact that Apple took advantage with this update to disenable the means that some used to transform to them iPhone into modem (tethering) without having to pay the specific subscription to the operators.
