Downgrading to 3.1.3 From 4.0 (3G Only)

09/04/10 21:30 Filed in: iPhone | Development

I have just returned my iPhone 3G back to 3.1.3 after a brief spell on 4.0. This was for a couple of reasons.

It’s my main phone
some of my most used apps were a bit crashy (including one of my own)
4.0 really doesn’t offer a great deal on the 3G

It seems rather stable. I used it all day without too much trouble. But after I had done it, it really seemed pointless. I’ll upgrade my development 3Gs so I can bug fix my app and play around with the backgrounding API’s instead.

Downgrading was painless, just follow the steps in my previous post. iRecovery is required because the baseband does get updated.

One minor thing: fsboot didn’t work. To get around this I held the home and the power buttons for ten-seconds and simply restarted the phone.

I cannot guarantee this will work with the 3Gs as I haven’t tried it yet, but I suspect it will not.

Agile Poker Update

18/03/10 21:20 Filed in: iPhone | Development

I’ve just done a quick update to AgilePoker, to add some new number sequences and some new colours. The Deck is now drawn in code, instead of using a nib, so I can change the layout easily.

This will be the final update to this app I think as I want to move on.

Update:

The update is now live, to my surprise! It was submitted at the weekend and remained “Awaiting Review” until Tuesday when it suddenly became “Ready For Sale”!

There was a problem with the new images, however. They didn’t appear and I had to upload them again.

Update 2:

V1.2.1 is now live. I know I said I wasn’t updating anymore but this one seemed worth it. Some late feedback from a colleague (even though they had a beta copy). I have added the T-Shirt estimation sequence.
