iPhone OS 3.xx Software Bugs/Issues

[MikeDVB]

Wifi has been horrible, I've almost considered trying to install 2.2.1 on my 3G S but being that the 3G S never had 2.2.1 I think I would probably cause more harm than good so I'm just leaving Wifi off for now - 3G is great in my area at least.

Shake to Shuffle when connected to a stereo bluetooth headset does not work (works fine when not connected). Further, does not allow the bluetooth headset to control next/previous track (volume, play/stop work fine). My experience is based only on the Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS980 bluetooth stereo headset on an iPhone 3GS. Does anyone have an experience with a stereo bluetooth device where everything worked perfectly?

Anyone having issues with their keypad? I am having intermittent issues accessing the bottom row of the keyboard (number key, backspace, space, return and in safari, + key, boomarks buttons). The issue just comes and goes with no consistency.

Ever since I installed 3.0 on my 16GB G, I have had several issues:

1)i have had that keyboard issue in IM+ & Facebook where if you shift to horizontal, it pasts the new view over the old and basically blocks out the old screen. The old view stays there. So, you can't type anymore.

2)I have also had very slow speeds in Safari and actually had safari crash. It never hapenned before.

Overall, my 3G is running slower.

Apple needs to fix this.

As others have reported here, after updating my iPhone 3G to 3.0, it started draining the battery very fast, and overheating.

Research and a bit of deduction revealed the culprit: PUSH

I have a corporate email account which uses Exchange ActiveSync. Using Push, this account was checking for new mail every 5 seconds. I sat there and watched it refresh again and again.

No wonder the battery was draining so fast and the phone got so hot - literally 3600 times each hour, it was checking for new mail!

To remedy this without losing the ability to stay current with email, I turned off Push and set my corporate account to Fetch every 15 minutes.

It seems like this is Apple's problem to fix (the phone didn't behave this way before 3.0), but it's also possible that a setting needs to be updated on my company's Exchange server.

I have the same problem with my new 3Gs. Further aggravating the situation is that my home WiFi password is no longer being accepted by the phone. It worked when I entered it in the settings mode initially, but now it doesn't take when I enter it into the pop-up window that comes up every few minutes. Argh.

Um, er ... that would actually be 720 times per hour (I must have been doing "new math").

Still way too much 3G radio usage (every 5 seconds), but not quite enough to make the damned phone burst into flames (yet).

This sounds like a hardware defect, I had this happen on my old 3G but it was the whole keyboard area.

Is this section of the screen that these keys on working on any other screen (try changing home screens using this section of the screen). If it doesn't work there either you should go to an Apple store asap.
