It looks like iOS 4.1 beta 1 also includes some minor improvements in addition to the fix for the incorrect display of signal strength.
Macrumors forum members have discovered that iOS 4.1 includes Game Center, Apple’s social gaming network with a brand new look.
Macrumors reports:
Game Center is Apple's matchmaking and leaderboard social network for iOS games. The lack of Game Center in the official iOS 4.0 release caused some confusion, but Apple had never intended Gamecenter to be launched alongside 4.0. Instead, Apple had promised Game Center to come out later this year.
It remains in beta testing for now with no announced release date. The style of the app, however, has been dramatically changed from the original release.
Macrumors forum users have also discovered the following minor changes in iOS 4.1 beta 1:
-
Flash/Camera buttons reposition themselves in landscape (as seen in the screenshot below).
-
Favorites in the Phone app can now be added as Voice or Facetime.
-
Check Spelling can be turned Off in Setting
We will let you know if we find out about any more new features or changes in iOS 4.1 beta 1.
Please do let us know your views on the new changes in iOS 4.1 beta 1.

So no more signal loss with the death grip?
really cool
If only. We'll just get a more accurate representation of how screwed we are.
Looks like another great update.
Seems to have fixed the issue with the proximity sensor on my iPhone 4 32gb.
really? that would be great.
haHA! Nice. Don't forget that our drop in signal will be less "dramatic". I am so excited for this update. I mean, my calls will still drop, but hey, at least my bars will drop from 3 to 0 and not 5 to 0. We all know that this is the real issue. Not the fact that making a connection between the antennas drops calls. No, it couldn't be that.
How about a bug fix for my wifi? It shows it's connected, but half the time won't load up pages and stuff! Kind of annoying to keep turning my iPhone 4 on and off to sort the problem!
cant wait to hear the other features
thats happened to me too mate…and also..i think that the signal thing is part of ios4..since I never had any problems with it before on 3.1.3 and 3.1.2…i hope they stop it being buggy and glitchy like it is now..its now as fluid as 3.1.3 and 3.1.2
Important question iPhone 4 people!!! Are you going to upgrade or restore to firmware 4.1??? Even though I'm not jailbroken obviously, I will restore and set up as a new iPhone, like I always do. Thoughts?
Long story. .started with 3Gs 3.1.2 jb and unlocked. Started having issues with 3G connection, constantly on the Edge connection. Called AT&T. Attempted network reset. Phone dead with the anemic apple for 24hrs. Apple tech advised going to store for replacement or restore. With the jb this was nt my first choice. Googled and found a fix. Unfortnately this "restored" my phone with ios4.
Now I am having volume issues. Another lengthy call and I am getting a replacement. 3Gs with ios 3.1.3!
I think with al the bad press Apple is doing all it can to keep customers happy. If you are having any issue at all, call! I was past phone support eligible, still got great service.
Hey guys apple just release update 4.0.1
