This problem only seems to affect 1 in 10 phones - so replacing the hardware should have a 90% success rate even if everyone upgraded to 3.1.
But i won't be.
I got a replacement phone from the genius and will skip the update thank you very much.
Must be a heck of a problem if i fix is taking so long to put right.
The guy responsible must be running out of fingernails! What he hasn't chewed off in frustration will be pulled off by a man in a black turtleneck with a set of designer titanium pliers! -
Sep 29, 2009 4:37 AMby Iam-rU,My analysis mirrors yours. I have also found that the iPhone continues to look for e-mail after the screen goes off whilst I was consulting mail. I would expect this from MobileMe with push notification. In this instance however, it is pop accounts so it is wierd to get notification of new e-mails when the screen is black.
I have also noticed that the iPhone has difficulty finding my Time Capsule. It will pick up a host of other networks but I have to wait around 5 seconds before the Time Capsule shows on the list. -
Sep 29, 2009 4:40 AMby AxelLeRate,Right: 105 pages and counting. If Apple does not fix this within 24 hours nor comes up with an explanation and an anticipated date for a fix I will NEVER buy an iPhone again. Than I will switch to an other brand as soon as my contract expires which is june 2010.
I am getting VERY angry now! My iPhone is completely useless as it passes out after 30 seconds into deep coma. I can not be reached, I cant call etc. -
Sep 29, 2009 5:50 AMby FredOx,The deep removal of iTunes/reinstall iTunes strategy does not work. Like an idiot, I tried it on my downgraded 3G, and I've had several comas in less than 12 hours. When I get home tonight, I'll be re-downgrading. I'd tell you how, but now Apple is not only refusing to admit there is a problem, refusing to give any guidance on when (or indeed if) there will be a fix, and refusing to allow you to downgrade to a version of the OS that doesn't suck, but they're removing posts that explain how to downgrade. Apparently, they'd rather we suffer in silence. -
Sep 29, 2009 6:20 AMby AxelLeRate,It is utterly ridiculous Apple did not come with (anticipated) resolutions as yet. I am spending lots of valuable time and energy on getting communicable but nothing works. I also refuse te enter into "Microsoft resolutions" that require complete system overhauls. I am VERY angry! -
Sep 29, 2009 7:12 AMby Billbart,I suggested to help here is the US a class action law suite because warranty or not they can not recommend software that renders our phones useless then have nothing to do with it. Apple promptly removed the post as they will this one but a few of you will see it and if we all post is a few minutes at a time maybe they will understand we are serious. You can't leave people with a broken phone especially while they are still paying for the service by a contract you can't get out of. They did not think my recommendation was helpful. I think it is!! -
Sep 29, 2009 8:32 AMby Trash II Treasure,Yup - anyone but the first 3 months of 3g sales is still in warranty.
Get the genius bar to downgrade or replace.
The idea of legal action is just dumb - it won't make the solution come any faster and the lawyers would be the only winners. You might as well suggest invading them to force a regime change.
