I have a Iphone 3G with. 2.0.2 and I noticed when I put my phone into airplane mode before using 3g and turning airplane mode off again, My 3G speed are fast. I read that rebooting helps with the speed issue but airplane mode works for me and it is faster than rebooting.

this software upgrade does fix you 3G problem. Here at my house I had barely a bar and now after I upgraded, it now get 3 to 4 bars. I have the phone jailbreak too. Its really cool.

If you update to 2.0.2 then you will lose any apps installed by Cydia or Installer. After you have updated to 2.0.2 you can use quickpwn with stock 2.0.1 and your phone and itunes will state that you are running 2.0.2 but you will now have Cydia and Installer again.

Check the following link for the pros and cons of this: http://sleepers.net/news/2008/08/18/iphone-202-is-out/

On the other hand you could just wait for winpwn 2.5 to be released which supports 2.0.2.

I will use winpwn 2.5 when released and re-do my phone just in case there are any issues caused by the quickpwn route.

Have fun now

No problem jailbreaking 2.0.2. The Dev Team may suggest staying on 2.0.1, but really, there is no risk to jailbreaking 2.0.2, and if it all falls apart you can simply restore. They made that suggestion just as they learned of the 2.0.2 release. That was my initial instinct as well. I just decided to upgrade, then jailbreak. It was smooth as silk. I did it on the PC side of my Mac (the DarkSide).

On another note, I see no significant difference between 2.02, 2.01, or 2.0 for that matter. I never experienced crashes, slowness or a bad signal from day one. The only really slow thing on my phone is opening “Settings”, and it’s as slow on 2.0.2 as it was on 2.0.

Hi..I have recently upgraded my 2G iphone from 1.4 to 2.0. I have unlocked the 2.0 version using winpwn. Now with 2.02 already available for update, does the update affects the unlocking that i have done ie. where I have to unlock the iphone all over again?

Just letting everyone know that I got it to work. I had a movie that was on my phone and my backup was getting hung up so I removed the movie and the backup went through. It still took about 20-30 minutes but it works and that’s all I wanted. But what a piece.
