3.1 leading to unresponsive device

Well here I am one week after I swapped my iPhone for a replacement. And so far I have not yet had any problems. No coma, no lock ups, nothing. I did a restore from my old back up so the data is the same.

So I'm leaning closer to the problem being more to do with early hardware. I could be wrong, but that seems to be the common denominator that I've read about here.

That same hardware played in the sandbox very nicely with 3.0.1, and many other versions prior to that, though.

Perhaps one of the Apple software devs introduced a new API routine into 3.1 -- appropriately named Induce3GComa() -- just to mess w/ 3G users and get them to upgrade? ;)

I dont agree, 3GS users then should be immune if it was hardware. My 3G is just fine on 3.1 My phone was from the 2nd batch of 3g's after release. AUG 08

I do not dare update my wife's for fear that phone will not be so lucky.
 
Shutting off multiple times a day!

This is driving me nuts. I updated to 3.1 2 days a go and my phone just keeps shutting down. Has apple come up with an update to fix this?
 
Well, here's my update:
I got a new phone from Apple on or around September 18th (I don't remember and I'm too lazy to check). I went a day with it setup as a new phone and couldn't take not having my info on there, so I restored from my backup.
The new phone has only blacked out on me twice since doing this, and they were on consecutive days. Hasn't happened in ~two weeks (knock on wood).
 
It's been a couple weeks now and still no fix, damn you apple, from a phone that worked perfectly to the most expensive paper weight I own! Sort it out!
 
Restore

My phone blacked out yesterday (1st time in weeks) and also said I had 4 photo's on camera roll when I had none.

I decided to do a restore as a new phone (not from a backup). This has meant I have lost information such as my fuel consumption figures, etc (in fact anything 'written in') but none of it is a real problem. It remains to be seen if I have any more 'blackout's' but the photo app now says the correct number on camera roll.

Next time just do Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings

This is the same as a restore-as-new-phone but it doesn't erase your data. It puts all your settings back to their default values leaving all other data intact.
 
I got my iPhone 3G today. I did an advance replacement using hist serial number. My sn is 5K9392XXXXX. So my phone was built on week 39. It came with OS 3.1 installed on it, so it better not freeze up.
 
Finally!

Try downloading the iPhone 3.1.2 update. This should have fixed this problem.

Yeah, I always laughed at those people who claimed that it was a different chipset from earlier production models of the iPhone 3G.

Oh and it's a NETWORK problem too :p :rolleyes:

Yup - i thought that too as mine was a recent 3G replacement from when 3.0 stuffed my iPhone!

How long till the 3.1.2 f'd my iPhone thread starts?
 
I have had a problem with trying to update to 3.1.2
my ipod touch 2gen, it won't, the first time i tried to update it started but then frooze half way through the update, so i unplugged it and plugged it back in and did a restore and now the restore keeps freezing up and won't work.

not jailbroken

any solutions?????
 
I just has this problem on my 3GS with 3.1.2. I never had it before the update, but I just did for the first time after unplugging it from the charger.
 
Update: the issue didn't happen again, looks like a isolated incident, especially no one else is complaining about this problem on 3.1.2.

So 3.1.2 isn't safe either??? I don't know what to do. :(

I came here tonight to research and consider updating my iPhone to 3.1.2

I leave here tonight secure in my decision to leave it on 3.0

It just works!!!

Oh maybe I need to update to get MMS, but I don't know because MMS isn't an issue for me.
