I have found these same issues with the 3.0 upgrade to my other iphone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have even reset my phone with factory settings to see if the problem stems from a backup bug and deleted majority of my apps for testing with no success.

I have read similar issues on other blogs but none have reported as a major issue among a larger amount of users.

I can only imagine as time goes by we will hear more issues. I hope apple releases these minor issues as the last firmware did not have any of the issues mentioned above

are people making a bugslist for 3gs or 3.0 software upgrade??? sounds like all the issues you mention are not hardware with 3gs but 3.0 software...

How come AVRCP Bluetooth Profile (change tracks via bluetooth headset) isn't implemented? Any ideas?

[Jellotime91]

I think apple hasn't implented avrcp because they are going to release their own stereo Bluetooth headset that uses a special proprietary format to do the things avrcp would do. Woe is me.

I noticed that when you leave your phone charging and it reaches 100% then unplug it, it says 99%. But if you restart it goes back to 100%? Very weird. Does anyone else have this problem?

2) Apps are showing Icons for programs that do not match

I got this bug too, had to restart my device to get the correct icons. Sometime I see no icon, just black square

streamig podcasts on wifi has major problems. If I begin on wifi and close safari to go to another app my wifi signal becomes weaker and weaker until the podcast stops streaming andmy signal reverts back to 3G.

On 3G it works fine throughout.

Also , copy and pasting from the safari broswer does not work.

GPS is totally inaccurate.
never had that problem with 3G.
Tried turning off the 3G radio on it, no luck.

Not quite a fix. If you hard reset it will probably mess up again. I am on a replacement GS and the second one is also doing it. I wish I knew what was causing it.

The 3 GS is horrible compared to the 2 month old 3g I owned. I live in an area with very good coverage and my radio will constantly drop to 1 bar and then looking for service. Reboot the phone in the same place and be at 5 bars. Anyone else have this?

I actually have better Service coverage with my 3G S then I had with my 3G. I've also had no probs surfing the web anywhere either. Before I had to hold my phone up in certain areas to connect.
