iPhone 3GS Bugs/Issues

AT&T will tell you that you should reboot your phone daily!
Seriously?
Two different Reps told me that...
I laughed in their face.

Could be something in that backup file that is corrupt causing these crashing issues.

Unfortunately this is my first iPhone--unjailbroken--and exactly as it came except for the invisibleshield.

Hi,

just got my new 3GS 32G last Friday.

Very cool toy, but I had to recharge fully 3 nights to get 3-4 hours total usage. Mostly wifi at my house. From a few dowloaded apps.

3G is Off.

I'm using a fake APN to disable "Edge" with Rogers.

Battery power went down quickly while phone was not in use.


Anyone seen this ?

Tks.

Regards,

Luc.

Short answer: no

Long answer: I would remove the fake APN tweak to see if that improves things, and any other tweak you may have added. Also, try resetting the device. If that does not help, then you should take the phone back and get it exchanged because it is defective.

Note: I have wifi, 3g, location services all enabled and screen brightness set to just a shade under the default, and I can get through a whole day of use without a problem, typically with 20% juice left at the end of the day. (I primarily use safari, the iPod and email most heavily, with the occasional game and lots of PIM and lengthy note-taking.) That's a significant improvement over my old 3G - at least 15% better, I would say.

My iPhone 3GS started crashing today - twice. I never had this issue with the 3G (which I owned for appx 8 months). As well, I believe the crashes occured after watching videos I recorded. Odd.

Nothing wrong with this advice. It clears memory etc and, if switched off overnight, will save on battery usage.

When I plug in a set of external speakers via the headphone jack, Voice Command always opens.

is it normal for the 3GS to just "Crash" ? I was on an app, and it wasnt working. So i pressed the home button, and it takes me to the screen. Then my phone crashes. and then it reboots.

is this normal?
