Just wondering if any of you have any problems because it seems like mine does every other day now, and I can't remember it happening with previous versions.

I'll go to use my phone and nothing. Just a black screen,powered off and buttons unresponsive. I have to hold down the home and power button for a good while before it powers back on again. Kind of annoying so I thought I'd see how you're all fairing. This is a locked phone btw.

Sounds like a hardware problem, however, do a restore just to be safe. If it still happens, get it replaced.

Since 1.1.3, I've had zero lockups.

It's been happening to me almost once a day, and its pissing me off. I've sent apple a coule of messages and they say its normal. I really want to downgrade to 1.1.2 but not sure how, and i don't want to take the risk. if anyone know how to its would be nice to know. But yeah i feel your pain.

Never.

When I first got my iPhone (original firmware/first week release) - I would get the occasional software crash when listening to music and trying to browse at the same time --- both app's would shut-down.

Since the first firmware revision - I've had zero issues.

:confused:

None here with two iPhones (the wife's and mine). However, Safari crashes often enough. Usually on sites that have flash or something else not recognized by the iPhone version of Safari. I sure hope either the iPhone SDK or a new version of Safari remedies this. This is by far the best phone browser, but it still has room to get better.

Mine crashes very rarely - about the same as 1.1.2...

Safari crashes more than anything else, but once in a while, the phone itself gets a little wacky - very slow to respond, and then it clears up. Turning it off/on has fixed anything I have experienced so far...

Mine crashes at least 2 to 3 times a day... I did a restore, and now it crashes... 2 to 3 times a day... If I didn't live a 4 hour round trip away from an Apple store I would have had a genius bar appointment by now, but we can't all be that lucky. :(

I'm having at least one a day now...

they are getting worse and worse too.

from crashing during a song (it repeats the same part over and over)

to crashing WHILE unlocking (the unlock sound repeats until restart)

it's getting to the point where I can't trust my iphone. I've emptied it out hoping the extra space will help out and am now carrying my ipod around
