iOS v4.3.1 Released!

[iDan]

Apple has just released an update for iOS! The new version, v4.3.1 contains minor fixes and improvements such as:

- Fixes an occasional graphics glitch on iPod touch (4th generation)
- Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
- Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
- Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services

Note, the iOS 4.3.1 is only available for the GSM iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and the third- and fourth-generation iPod touch. Be sure to let us know if the update fixes or breaks anything not mentioned

Finished installing iOS 4.3.1 update on our iPad. All seems to work fine. I was worried the "secret multitasking gestures" I enabled earlier might be disabled with the update, but they all work normally as well. So far so good.

Did iOS 4.3.1 Enable Gestures

Per my note above, can someone check and see if the iPad's Multitasking Gestures was enabled with iOS 4.3? Since I already have it I can't tell.

• Swipe four or five fingers—to the left or to the right—to navigate through open applications.

• Swipe four fingers up to access the running apps tray and playback buttons, including Airplay controls.

• Pinch with all your fingers to go to the home screen from any app, without touching your home button.

On iOS 4.3, multitasking gestures were not enabled. I am not sure about iOS 4.3.1. I enabled multitasking gestures after I installed 4.3.

Ooops. I meant to say "...can someone check and see if the iPad's Multitasking Gestures was enabled with iOS 4.3.1?"

They are not yet available on 4.3.1.

Too bad...I've really gotten spoiled by them. Thanks for that!

OK, so how did you get used to them if they aren't yet available?

 

[Mickeylittle]

Good question. I'm not even sure if that's available to the JB community.

You put your iPad in developer mode. All it takes is one click in Xcode.

Working for me with Xcode..

If you have a Mac it's fairly easy:

Gizmodo, the Gadget Guide

After the installation power down your iPad completely and restart it. Everything will be working fine, multitasking gestures and all.

XCode uses up a good deal of space, so if you're not planning on using it later it can be uninstalled. Copy this command and paste it in Terminal window then hit enter:

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

It will ask for your password, enter it. (Note: You cannot see your password while typing it in Terminal, so just type your admin password and hit enter.) Then it will search for the "Developer" folder and uninstall completely. After it finishes type "exit" (w/o the quotes), hit enter then close terminal window.

Ah hah. PC guy here. I'm sure I could still figure it out, but I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment. Thanks.

 

[DontUnderstandMyIpad]

Yep, but you have to edit a backup and then restore it onto your iPad. Anyway, it is really straight forward and only takes a few minutes.

I have the iPad 2 on 4.3 and I enabled Gestures using windows! Without X-code! You must first download something called iBackupBot (it's free) on your PC. I wish I could post the link, but I just started this account here and am not allowed yet. The site that has instructions is icopybot.com
