iPhone 1.1.3 update leads to problems?

It would seem that the latest iPhone/iPod touch update is doing a bit more harm than good. There have been reports that the 1.1.3 firmware is far less stable than the previous 1.1.2. Some of the problems with 1.1.3 being reported:

  • Error message during/after install of iTunes 7.6 and firmware 1.1.3
  • Loss of sound output from the iPhone's built-in speakers
  • Bluetooth devices that worked with 1.1.2 no longer work
  • Mail problems
While these problems certainly don't sound good, there are some remedies that seem to work. For the loss of sound, you can try turning the phone off and then back on or plugging headphones in and out. iPhone Atlas has listed some of the reported iPhone problems and some of the remedies that you can try. As always, be sure to check TUAW often for the latest iPhone news.

Freeverse drops critical update for Heroes of Might and Magic V


Macworld's got the tip that Freeverse has released what they're calling a "critical" update for the Mac version of Heroes of Might and Magic V. They say the update to the pretty well reviewed fantasy turn-based strategy game includes "stability and display issues," and a fix for "registration issues." Interesting. Doesn't sound like it'll change the gameplay much, but stability is always a plus.

The update is available for download over on the Heroes page and will bring the game up to 1.5.1.

Surprise - Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 released with Universal goodness

Right alongside Firefox's update today, Mozilla has also brought Thunderbird up to the 1.5.0.4 (.3.2.1.12) version with a big improvement for Intel Mac owners: Universal Binary super-powers. Also in this update are security and bug fixes. Let us all take a moment of silence in remembrance of the bugs who lost their lives in the making of this update.

One thing I am not sure of, however, is if that GmailUI extension we blogged earlier will work after this update. Does anyone know?
