It appears to have helped mine for just now. I did email tech support and this is the dialog. The last line is the important part for mine!

Maybe this info can help someone else!!

good luck.

Steven S: Welcome to the AT&T Data Support Live Chat! My name is Steven. I will be happy to assist with your iPhone.
Steven S: Sorry to hear you are having problems with your iPhone. How long have you had this device?

macman since the very first day. this is actually the 2nd phone.

Steven S: Since the first day iPhone 3G was released?
Macman yes sir

Steven S: What happened with the first model?

macman battery issues and a lot of crashing of apps etc.

Steven S: ok.
What kind of signal strength do you get with 3G?

macman 4-5 bars most places

macman Richmond va has great 3G network

Steven S: Do you keep your wifi active?

macman no

Steven S: ok. Does this happen in the same areas, or anywhere you go?

macman Pretty much all over Richmond. I have to switch to Edge network to surf

Steven S: ok. Go to 3G on your device for a moment.

macman OK

Steven S: ok. With it on 3G, reboot your device. Hold the power button down till prompted to turn off.

macman ok

macman apple logo and starting up

Steven S: ok

macman started

Steven S: ok. Lets see how Safari is going right now.

macman got an error message saying safari could not find server?

Steven S: ok, thanks. It'll be just a moment.

Steven S: Just a moment longer. Updates are downloading to your phone.

macman thanks
seems better

Steven S: Good.

Steven S: Keep going..

macman certainly better than before. what was the update?

Steven S: LOL, I sent about 4 different updates into that phone, one of them told it what towers to connect to, I actually removed your sim card out of the system, and rebuilt your account, then reactivated it. There was a whole lot done in that first 8 minutes.

That maybe helpful for AT&T customers. Nothing can be done for O2 customers which is a shame.

THIS DID NOT HELP!

Sorry to say but this did not help in the end! I thought things seemed better but a couple of hours later same problems again.

The last few days have been worse. I have to use the "edge" network most of the time because the 3G just hangs and hangs when on the Internet!

Why should I me paying for a 3G network if it is not working with this iPhone?
