iPhone Update 3.1.3 Released, Fixes Battery Bug [WARNING: Jailbroken Phones]






Apple on Tuesday afternoon released version 3.1.3 of its iPhone OS software for the iPhone and iPod touch, bringing with it improved accuracy of reported battery level on the iPhone 3GS.

If you care about your jailbreak and unlock, don’t update your device - 3G and 3G(S) owners should pay particular attention to this warning.

iPhone Dev Team have issued the following warning to users who have jailbroken and/or unlocked their iPhone:

WARNING! At 10.30AM PST on February 2nd 2010 Apple released the 3.1.3 version (7E18) of the iPhoneOS.

* PwnageTool/Redsn0w/Blackra1n are not yet compatible with 3.1.3
* There is no estimated release time for compatible tools (please don’t bug us about this).

It also looks like iPhone OS 3.1.3 also updates the baseband firmware (05.11.07 to 05.12.01) so it means that if you’ve accidentally updated your jailbroken and unlocked iPhone with it, then you will not only lose the jailbreak but your iPhone will also get locked. You’ll have to either wait for someone to unlock the baseband included in iPhone OS 3.1.3 or wait for someone to figure out a way to downgrade the baseband.

This update for the iPhone and iPod touch contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

- Improves accuracy of reported battery level on iPhone 3GS
- Resolves issue where third-party apps would not launch in some instances

Full details are available in the support document on Apple's Web site.
