    Again, no need to unlock phone but unofficial apps and cydia will be stripped from your phone. If you can live with no jailbreak, go ahead and update, it woun't brick your phone.

    The "Databases" setting was not on my update. I'm guessing it only would be if you have the Google Translate app. (I don't.)
    In addition, my phone still lags, when going to contacts for example. And my 3G service still SUCKS.
    Glad I wasted 30 mins updating.

    appears there is yet another modem firmware update... we will see if it was as worthless as the last...

    I noticed no more lag when I pull up contacts...but that's it.

    My GPS barely works at all...I mean AT ALL. 5 minutes to locate me, and it's like a one mile radius of my location...if it located me at all.

    Safari is a joke. I can't get webpages to load consistently at all...keep getting "server isn't responding". BS. Even sites like google do this.


    I honestly miss 2.0.0.

    Apple really screwed us with the 3g. Why wouldn't it be perfect before launch?

    That Database feature isn't new. I'm running 2.0.1 and it showed up after visiting "translate.google.com."

    Ohhhh weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Hmmmm... I have 2.0.1 too but do not see "Databases" after going to translate.google.com. I'm updating to 2.0.2 now, so maybe I will see it after the update.

    I have also visited translate.google.com under 2.01 and still gotten database. So that is not a 2.02 update.

    update not restore with iTunes
    use the new quickpwn tool using the 2.01 software
    now you will have 2.02 with cydia and installer

    I have 2.0 still and databases shows up. I had already visited google translate so I don't know if it was there before.

    tapping a photo in an email now brings up a "save image" menu. I don't remember that being in 2.0.1! It's about time!

    Saves the image to the camera roll

    jonbutko - that's been there ever since 2.0 came out.....all you do is click on the image and hold on it for a few seconds and the option to save pops up - works in mail and safari

    I upgraded to 2.0.2 a couple of days ago. The battery definitely lasts longer now and it feels snappier (fewer long pauses when scrolling or pressing a button).

    But all is not well. When upgrading iTunes reported a failure and required me to restore. So I restored and then set up by restoring from backup. An hour later it completes and iTunes detects my iPhone again and presents me with the set up screen again: set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. I've restored from backup twice. I've rebooted my computer. I've rebooted my iPhone. I've reinstalled iTunes. The only thing iTunes will do with my iPhone now is offer to set up as new iPhone or restore from backup.

    The restore from backup is successfull and the iPhone reports that it is running 2.0.2 and my iPhone hass all my data and apps (never jail broken) but no iTunes love.

    Can't get through to Apple support yet either, they seem overwhelmed.

    t is working again after two calls to Apple support.
    All Apple software was uninstalled, specifically:
    apple mobile device support
    apple software updates
    quicktime
    iTunes

    Reboot XP.
    Install iTunes from Apple's web site again.
    Connect iPhone - same Set Up iPhone screen in iTunes.

    Theorized that the problem is some kind of mis-communication between iTunes and the iPhone. The iPhone knows it is already set up but iTunes thinks it needs to be set up. Bug in iTunes? Bug in 2.0.2 iPhone firmware? Corrupted firmware load? No way to know; keep trying things...

    Tried deleting sync history in iTunes. Still stuck with the iTunes screen to set up the iPhone.

    Last resort - choose to set up as new iPhone.
    Success! It did not even wipe out my Notes and Calendar data as I thought it would. My iPhone apps were even still on the iPhone. All music, podcasts and photos were erased but that was easily fixed by syncing with iTunes now that I am finally able to do so again.

    I have to say that the Apple support people I talked with were the most friendly customer support people I've ever encountered from any company.

    Does netshare still work with 2.0.2?

    We are rolling out iPhones in a corporate environment, and the biggest complaints have been 3G connectivity and severe limitations on battery life.

    When I updated to 2.0.2, I noticed a signifigant increase in battery performance (on the order of 3x better on standby) and a slight improvment on 3G, which I would still rate as 'poor'

    Did the upgrade last night without a hitch and successfully pwned with latest QuickPwn. Has definitely increased the speed in things like SMS and Contacts which was really annoying me... I wonder if there will be any more small updates before Firmware 2.1 because it's getting annoying re-adding all my Cydia apps after each new firmware upgrade.
