Re: [iPhone] 2.0.1 is Out!
What can I say.. no problems here. I'm running 20+ apps and counting.. adding more every week. Things are smooth as far as I can tell. Location services work well, too, including Maps and GPS and everything. Looking forward to the notification service that's supposed to roll out next month. |

Your location is not going to be accurate unless you have a 3G. |

As for Bellboy, was it a muni WiFi? |

It finally did work and show the correct location...only after two reboots. Nearly perfect.

It doesn't log into any WiFi, it just knows where all the antennas are.

It doesn't log into any WiFi, it just knows where all the antennas are. It doesn't need to log on to any wifi. It just needs to SEE the wifi routers. That's enough for it to figure out location-related information from the routers.
Turn wi-fi completely off and then try again. I'd be surprised if you were still "placed perfectly". |

Used pwnage 2.02 and put on the new firmware and it seems like all the issues at least for me cleared up. Those being the constant freezing and slow response typing in either texts or emails.

Not Incorrect, your are lucky. Without the GPS chip the iPhone/iPod just uses cellular triangulation/WAPs to determine where you are. Definitely not accurate. |

| Computers don't know about "lucky." If it sees a bunch of waps and knows where they are then the circle gets smaller and therefore more accurate.
