Loading ...Now that 1.1.4 firmware has been released, users are facing few new issues that are cropping up. And there are those who are finding few of the previous issues getting resolved. Lets take this up:
First the good part of 1.1.4 update;
- iPhone 1.1.4 boosts cell signal strength
A number of users are reporting that iPhone software/firmware 1.1.4 does indeed provide a healthy boost in cell signal strength, which was severely degraded for some users under the 1.1.3 software/firmware revision.
Apple updated the iPhone modem firmware with release 1.1.4, bringing it from version 4.03.13_G to version 4.0.4.05_G. The refined firmware is likely the cause of boosted signal strength. [Via - iphoneatlas.com] - Safari Tabs now preserve content (don’t go to “white” screens) [Via - Macrumors.com]

- iPhone 1.1.4 fixes Bluetooth, SMS ordering bugs
SMS ordering problems Several readers reported that, after installing the iPhone software/firmware 1.1.3 update, SMS (text) messages are displayed out of order.
Bluetooth blues iPhone software/firmware update 1.1.3 introduced some serious issues with third-party Bluetooth devices. These problems included incompatibility with GPS units from Garmin (StreetPilot C550, Nuvi 360, 760, etc.), some integrated car Bluetooth systems and more. These problems are, based on some reader reports, resolved under software/firmware 1.1.4.
Problems sending mail Several users reported an issue where mail sent from the iPhone simply disappears into the void, never reaching its recipient, nor appearing in the “Sent Items” folder, and also never generating an error message indicating that anything has gone wrong. This problem may be fixed in iPhone software/firmware 1.1.4. [Via - iphoneatlas.com]
Lets look at the negatives;
- The “location” feature on few iPhones stopped working after 1.1.4 update (”Maps”) . A user on discussions.apple.com reports: When I press the icon in the lower left corner of Maps (the little bulls eye), it spins, as though it is doing something, then nothing. The map stays where ever it was (and that is not my location.). WiFi is on and working fine.
- One user bricked his iPhone while updating to 1.1.4 - He says - I updated to 1.1.4 my phone displays “No Service” while I’m at home, even when it’s sitting in its cradle. I used to have about 3, maybe 4 bars when the phone was docked on my desk now it says No Service. Now, I have a useless phone. Reboot, restore, sim card remove and replace… nothing. I can’t take it to Apple because they will blame it on a little blemish on the top right corner of my phone where I dropped it a long time ago. So basically I have a glorified iPod.
- Another user downloaded 1.1.4 and tried to upgrade his iphone. Here is what he says - Out in the process of it preparing my iphone it says “the iphone could not be updated. an unknown error occured (1602)
This is a known error and Apple has resolved this error - Error 1601 or 1602 when restoring iPhone or iPod touch in iTunes. But the strange thing is that, still versions released by Apple are not fully bug free.
