Undocumented new features in iPhone software/firmware 1.1.1
There are a few new features in iPhone software/firmware update 1.1.1 that Apple didn't mention.
- You can now change the sound that is played when a new text message is received. Tap "Settings," then "Sounds," then "New Text Message."
- International characters: In Mail or a text message, you can press and hold certain keys (like C, or N) for a menu of corresponding international characters.
- There is now a "Debug console" for Safari, which shows HTML errors when rendering Web pages. Tap "Settings," then "Safari," then "Developer"
- There are new options for Video playback. You can start playing videos where they left off or from the beginning, and you can use closed captioning. Tap "Settings," then "iPod."

Feedback? info@iphoneatlas.com.

didn't seem serious.
while iphone was still connected, we restarted itunes. iphone went into restore mode and then updated to the latest software/firmware. everything had to be restored from backup. no big deal. just inconvenient.
FYI: I have never installed any third-party apps, so this happened on a "clean" iPhone.
On the bright side: That new WiFi icon looks niiiiiiiiiiiice!
Actually, Apple should allow an option to disable the unlock slider. I really don't see the point of it, since the buttons that turn the phone on require a pretty good press to do so; and even if accidentally turned on, the phone can be set to go back to sleep after a minute in any case.
@anyone: I tried using the video out with the iPod AV Connection Kit that I bought three days ago. It no workie ): Anyone successful with video out? Please let me know!
And tell us what hardware you used to get it to work...I really want to use it with the universal dock and remote, but it didn't work for me )':
I'm wondering what will happen.
No 3rd Party apps installed...just an unlocked phone on At&t service.
What shall i do?!

(11 Comments)You can no longer lower the ringer volume to zero. Now, even with the ringer set at lowest, and the silent button on, alarms still make noise. There's no way to put the phone in silent mode except by going into Settings and toggling these noises off. How annoying! They took a step in the wrong direction here. Rather, they should allow you to specify what noises the silent button turns off.
