I got ZiPhone 3.0 to downgrade my phone to 1.1.4 last night all apps look like they are working OK with one major exception I am getting a msg on the top left NO SERVICE, I have a tried a few things like re setting the network and that but I still get NO SERVICE when I insert my sim card..

Any suggestions would be great…Joe

I turned off my email account (within the iPhone) and then turned it back on. Now, when I press the email icon, it takes me to the ’set up an email account’ screen – as if I never set up any accounts. I check settings and it shows that the email account is turned on, but I can’t get passed the ’set up’ screen. Pfft.

Do what the man says. After working w/the agent for over 2 hours (poor guy) on getting my itunes updated to 7.7.7.7.7.7 to inifiniti (not HIS problem, but he was so nice, so yes, that was ME holding up cust serv ALL day), I finally gave up. The install finally took, but then the “device” wasn’t showing. I did ask if it made if any diff if my library was still loading and was told no. Gave up and made an appt at the store. Hung up, library finished loading and BANG there it was. I sat here and tried to figure out what to do next, I’m not near as savvy as some of you! I found this site, and said ok, just go to playlist and come back, this thing knows what to do. And wa’lah my phone is on. I swear. I even made some calls, took pics. Looks pretty cool, but I don’t see too much diff between this and my bro’s 1st gen. Anyway, I got it with ONE hit, and I’m a dummy, so YES, keep trying. Do what the man says. My iPhone saga is over! YeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!! 4 hours later!

Anyone else having trouble with sending/receiving emails after upgrading to 2.0? I was able to receive emails yesterday, after upgrading. But early last night, my iPhone stopped receiving and sending emails.

I have a “Legacy” iPhone and had trouble with the 2.0 upgrade process. I tried refreshing about 5 times. Nothing. Restarted my MacPro… still wouldn’t ‘connect.’ Finally a powered-down my iPhone and then turned it back on. Presto! It connected! Install completed, phone works great. Had to reset some settings, but all in all no problems. Could’ve been pure coincidence, but worth a try. Hold down the button on the top of the phone until the red slider appears to turn it off. Make sure it powers all the way down before pushing the button again to turn it back on. Then reconnect to iTunes and should all be good.
