iPhone 2.0.2 Update Is Here, Fixes Bugs In iPhone 3G

By Jason Chen on August 19, 2008 at 7:20 AM

The iPhone 2.0.2 update is here and is supposed to fix a bunch of bugs that users have been seeing since iPhone 2.0 hit. Like Boy Genius said before, it’s going to be targeting iPhone 3G users, but the changelog of “bug fixes” is vague enough to imply that everyone will see some benefit. Grab it now from iTunes.

    Upgraded my iphone with 2.0.2

    - Safari can now properly display Chinese font on web sites
    - Can’t run any 3rd party app until reinstalling a single app (same deal for upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1)
    - Contact lag still exists

    After attempting to download the update 20+ times, I found a workaround for the problem. First, exit iTunes.

    Then, download the update from the link on this site: http://www.iphone-hacks.com/downloads/file/135

    Copy the file to the following location:

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates

    then restart iTunes and click ‘install’ to update your iPhone.

    this workaround will eliminate the need to download the update using itunes.

    good luck - hope it works for you!

    I don’t have the 3G but an official unlocked IPhone. I download my mails from work with Push-email over the wifi connection from home. Since the update to the 2.0.2 the wifi push email does not work anymore :(

    I have the impression that the wifi is being turned off when the phone goes to standby, which could be the reason for not receiving the updates.

    When in standby and I press the home button and the screen comes on again, the Wifi icon dissapears after half a second and comes back on. At this point I receive push-email when a receive a new mail during that period.

    Is this a malfunction or on purpose to make people get the 3G???
