Also having this AppStore “your balance is out of date” message when trying to, ironically, update free apps. I tried to buy one more app but it didn’t remove the problem.

Hopefully somebody will contact Apple, I’m already bored of doing so as nothing will happen’ anyway.

ugh, that wasn’t supposed to be a reply to that thread. I suck at using the reply button apparently.

I guess I’ll reply to your comment anyway. I *don’t* have problems when updating via iTunes, and it seems to go a lot faster too. Hope that helps.

While updating an app the other night and watching a youtube video I received a call and that was just too much for my phone. It stopped the video, showed the call as coming in but never rang and never allowed me to answer the phone. After 5-10 minutes of random screen whiteouts, blackouts, half loading the home screen, half shrinking it into oblivion again, etc, I finall gave up and restarted the phone.

Bad idea… it never again got past the Apple boot logo. Even after getting it into restore mode and trying to boot again it wouldn’t work. I ended up having to restore it which sucked since I hadn’t run a backup in a week since those take >4 hours to run. Then it took 6 syncs in a row for it to install all my applications again. This new firmware really missed the mark, I hope the 2.1 update comes out soon.

this is my 1st post regarding iphone in the world of internet..
i have a very simple idea regarding s/w installation, try it, then gimme feedback..
whenever u install or update any app, 1st let it install or update properly, then switch off the iphone, wait for 5secs, then restart the iphone.. if u update the icon will be replaced, put it where u want, then restart the iphone..
try this, and tell me whether this simple helps u or not..
and i’m thankful to be a part of appleiphoneschool..

I don’t think I’m ever gonna jailbreak my iPhone. I’ve never heard anybody talk about how stable it is. Just the opposite. A nonjailbroken iPhone isn’t very stable to begin with, so I can’t imagine installing unauthorized software could help any.

I hope these issues get fixed in the coming 2.0.1/2.1 update, which is rumoured to be released in 2-3 weeks

try logging out (Store->Logout) and then logging back in again. It may work that way
