Hi masseur,
I was downloading to the phone over WiFi, so I guess that's a mistake!
Now I am, back at my PC. I see iTunes is also downloading it.
I thought I saw a car mount somewhere...... but can't remember, because I had no intention of getting an iPhone at that time.
I will try to refresh my memory !

Hi everyone!
I have not updated my iPhone's firmware to 3.1 yet. i read back in this thread about problems.
My version is 3.0.1.
When I synch, I do get 'My_Space app not synched to iPhone' because a newer version of the iPhone OS is needed.
Question is - are there still issues for esato members here who did the update?

Apple are making new apps 3.1-only as a way to persuade users to upgrade their phones to the latest version.

Hi masseur,
and anyone else with TomTom on their iPhone! 
I tried out TomTom in the car just now and volume level very low, even with iPhone volume turned up!
Does anyone have the same very low volume? 
I guess the only way to get it louder is to connect it through the car stereo system? I have a aux connection that allows that. 
I cannot see a volume control within the TomTom app, unless I am just not searching enough for it !

yes, there is a volume control within the app
while navigating, touch the area at the bottom of the screen which is showing you the direction etc, and here you get a volume slider

This hasnīt that much to do with the 3Gs but i bought a second hand 3G recently and have totally fallen for the little Iphone. Itīs so fantastic and everything just seems to work. I have mainly been negative before because of the insane pricetag on the Iphones here but i must say this is the funniest gadget i have ever own. Compared to my other phones itīs lightning fast and finally i understand what people has been talking about..
n97 and others isnīt close in the feel of the touchscreen. Web browsing is very very good and almost all of my favorite websites has apps for the iphone. Now i hardly start my computer anymore.
You can get a "cheap" secondhand 3G now here when everyone upgrades to 3Gs but i dont think itīs worth all the extra money for a little faster phone who can take movies.
I dont think i will ever be able to get rid of this little beauty, the cam in 3Gs seems better but still canīt replace a real one so im going to buy an Canon IXUS 100 IS/PowerShot SD780 IS for photo and keep my 3G. Think it will be somewhat the best of two worlds for me.

thanks HIJET,
tried that and it didn't work...
thanks too to scottt, don't have a Mac.. so..
I did it via iTunes, cuttng a mp3 to 30 seconds or under. Then converting to acc, and then renaming. fiddly but it worked...
ofiaich
Yeah on Windows its a bit fiddly but it works. Just remember to uncheck the start/end time of the original tracks so that when you play them back on PC/iPhone/iPodTouch they play the full track.
PS maybe we should have a thread here to contribute uploading ringtones for those of us to share. There are a plenty for the various  phones.
Also welcome to the Joy of iPhone. I wish I got the 32GB as I'm now downloading and loading more movies and iTunes University videos (Stanford has some great free series done in 2008 on iPhone development). GET a SCREEN PROTECTOR! Youll be glad you did and get a case that suits your needs. Even Masseur can get a very thin protective case for his iPhone that doesn't add bulk and hardly any weight. Oddly enough I don't miss using themes since the cases kind of do that themselves on the outside of the phone.
on p34 on this thread, thank you all for helping me look at choices for new headphones.
I'm seriously considering ...
Bose headsets (with Mic)
or
Klipsh
Since these Apple in the ear premiums have a case looking like a futuristic tampon.
Oh wait (EDIT):
Just saw the "Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 220vi" and the "Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi" headphones. the latter has a mic & button. But I hope it gives the same functionality as the stock iPhone 3GS headphones.

Look on your PC for the OS pre loaded or search for the one online for free download (same yours shipped with). the majority of those having issues are coming from those that upgraded to the 3.1 firmware. Mine came BNIB from Apple store with 3.1 and have had no issues. Battery life seems to be getting better since I fully drained it playing music the other night.

Prom!
nice post...!  really good!
Just remember to uncheck the start/end time of the original tracks so that when you play them back on PC/iPhone/iPodTouch they play the full track.
Thanks for that!! But aren't iPhone ringtones only 30 seconds or less?
iTunes shows mine as 3.0.1 so I wonder whether to upgrade ...
I use skull candy as sold by themarques !

Sorry about that. To clarify, in iTunes remember to uncheck the start & end times for the original music track (mp3, aac, etc) not the ringtone. This way if you playback in iTunes on the PC/Mac or in the iPod app on the iPhone it'll play the full track not the ringtone segment when you're in an iPod playlist. This is seperate from the copied track you've set as the ringtone and on the iPhone will not affect the ringtone. Does this make better sense and less confusion?
