Just READ there is ***********2.0.2****** NEW UPDATE. Hope it fixes GPS

Just push the home button

I don't know what your contract says but the small print on my contract states that the 3G AT&T network is not fully deployed and you may experience some call problems. You agree to accept this contact under these conditions. (Or something to that effect).

Well, I drove around today using the iPhone for a single call around a 15 mile radius. I got dropped from the call three times.

Not good...

The only way to stop the toggle tool (ie you can toggle between an exact figure and bars) is to do a reset, via Settings, General, Reset and use the first one, Reset ALL.

Going back in to the Test mode and setting it back to bars and exiting, either by single press of home, or held press of home doesn't change things. It does temporarily, but numbers come back following power off.

BTW if you do the above RESET You will have to reorganise your icons/home screen/settings/brightness etc but it stops this.

Doesn't come back after a power off too.

ps restore doesn't sort it, nor does moving up to 2.0.2 just above RESET.

I just did my update last night..and today my battery is dead by 5pm. Normally I can get a full day from it, just using EDGE. Maybe I need to do some more testing, but my battery life after 2.0.2 seems to be WORSE! Anyone notice anything with theirs

BTW, the above figures are for download speeds.

Both of those resources are outdated. They list 3 sites in my city and I have identified 7 using my iPhone 3G as a radio direction finder (which is easy to do, since the signal is so poor).

I don't even care about 3G anymore. I just want my battery to work. This new update ***** the life out of the battery even more than before and this is with 3G turned off. 3G updates are no good if the phone can't even keep itself running on battery life.

Not sure what's happening with your update, but mine went well and the battery life with 3G on seems to be better than before the update. My phone has been mostly in a weak 3G area since the update (down in my basement apartment, showing only one or two bars of 3G and sometimes switching over to Edge) and I've currently have 22 hours and 30 minutes of standby with 2 hours of use. And I would estimate that the battery still shows about 80% full.

updated around 5:18 p.m...maybe there is another update..just a little iphone Humor/NOT
i changed to the metered reading. previously got 1/2 bar in & around my hse. many dropped calls. now have (-)85-(-99 )reading/3 bars when i did have 1/2
notice that contacts the app. moves faster, but the GPS is still searching for my present location..weird..that it always found pretty quickly
haven't made any calls, but i do notice battery is going down FAST, but we always knew that
i have been using without 3G and i think i will go back to edge till Apple can get it really Right!
i am a shareholder so i am hoping for the best and banking on Stevie boy making the iphone spectacular like all his other products!!

this is the first time ever doing a speed test on 3g so i figured after updating to 2.0.2 i would try it i now get 3 bars where i use to get 1 and download speed is 1.11 Mbps

Just updated and no difference in signal quality or strength. Maybe they fixed the memory leak or whatever the heck causes the phone interface to become sluggish after using the apps a bit.

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

Updated 2.0.2 on both my 8g 3g iphone and it took 54mins to download the firmware. Another 15mins to backup and install.

Didn't make any diferrence at all to the 3g reception nor the phone's functions.
Since day 1, I've only ever got 2 bars for 3g on both phones. Same thing after update. Did a network reset after update and still nothing has changed.
Do we need to do a restore to effect the update on the phone?

Currently at my office, I can't even get 3g reception which I've never experienced before with my old Nokia. No service for a while then drops to GPRS instead of EDGE.

I hope the next update fixes the 3g problem.

Thanks

I didn't uprade to 2.0.1 do I have to do this to get 2.0.2?

Ok guys, what is beyond me is how the SAME update on the SAME device can have different results. Isnt this boggling? Some people get better reception, some dont. Somt get worse battery, some dont. Ive always been a PC guy and anytime I have installed the same update on 2 PCs the outcome is always the same! This is apparantly not the case with the iPhone. What is the best way to update these things without restoring? Should WiFi be on? Should 3G be enabled? Any special settings because these updates cant just have totally opposite effects without some sort of different settings beforehand. Makes no sense. Am I wrong?
