I've got a good one for you. I have the rubber DLO jacket, with the clear plastic that goes over the screen. When I use the phone as a phone and hold it to my ear, then pull away, the screen goes black for about 10 seconds. If I take the stupid cover off, it doesn't do that. Hard to imagine a cheap piece of rubber could screw up the phone somehow.

I'm not sure if you noticed it or not but just to the left of the earpiece of the phone their are three sensors, if you cover them up they might do what your describing. It may not be the problem but it's worth mentioning.

Well I looked but don't see them. It would make sense but I see no sensors (no pun intended)

Since 2.0 Update I don't get email

I've seen a few posts about similar issues, but I haven't found a proper solution yet.

Since I updated my 8 gig. 1st gen. iPhone to the 2.0 software I haven't been able to connect to my email.

I have my work email (POP) and Gmail both synced with my phone. When I go into the mail app I can get into my inboxes and everything just fine, but it never successfully updates. It just says "connecting", with the spinning "I'm thinking" logo.

I checked the mail settings in the phone and everything is as it was.

WTF? Thanks!

Voicemails... FROM THE PAST!

Here's a new one:
I have about 25 empty voicemails dated 12/31/69 sitting on my phone today, out of the blue. Syncing didn't get rid of them.

Is it my 6-year-old self calling me to warn me not to upgrade to 2.0? Oops too late.

Spooky!

Sound effects don't work

Besides my ringer, none of my sounds work. New text message, new voicemail, new mail, sent mail, calendar alerts, lock sounds and keyboard clicks... none of them work. There was another thread here about text message sounds specifically, but that did not help me. I don't really care that much about keyboard clicks and lock sounds, but I keep missing messages, which is definitely a problem. Any help?

Typing a SMS is very slow sometimes, I can type a whole word before anything appears on the screen. I have to press the home button, and then reopen SMS to get typing back to normal speed. I had this problem on 2.0 on my iPhone classic, and on my 3G

I have been experiencing this since updating to 2.0.

There is a thread in the Apple support forum for iPhone Mail that contains more than 200 posts about exactly this issue. I have a hunch (my latest one of many) that the trouble happens when the iPhone tries to fetch mail from a POP server when it is inaccessible because it is closed while another client is checking it.

I have a reasonably clear recollection of a dialog that would appear in firmware version 1.1.4 that said mail couldn't be updated because the server was busy. I have not seen that dialog since updating to 2.0. I think that the Mail client isn't handling this event gracefully by presenting the dialog and exiting. Instead it just continues to try to connect. All accounts are then afflicted because Mail continues to be busy trying to connect to the POP server.

I have spent most of this weekend getting mail successfully on my iPhone, but I have not had any desktop clients running. When I turned on Mail on my iMac, once agiain iPhone Mail hung while trying to fetch mail.

I have lengthened the period between checks of the server on my desktop to attempt to minimize the chance that both the desktop and the iPhone will try to access the POP server similaneously.

This is only a work around. This was never a problem before 2.0 firmware. Apple needs to fix this.

On at least two occasions now, pluggin my iPhone into the computer has caused an immediate near-shutdown. The screen goes black and video output stops. As far as I can tell, every program crashes. It will not respond to anything but a power reboot. The computer itself stays powered up but I can't use it.

Yeah, it's a PC. Spare me the jokes.

 

[Hawkeye411]

Well I looked but don't see them. It would make sense but I see no sensors (no pun intended)

Shine a flashlight (or other bright light) at the iPhone near the earpiece and you will see the sensors. Make sure your case doesn't cover them. I had to make the hole for the sensor from my old case larger so that I wouldn't have similar problems.

Cheers.

iPhone To Do's & Notes

Here is one thats hilarious. On your iPhone in Mail for .Mac or .me users, you can view your Apple Notes and To Do's that you added on your desktop. Cool, it syncs right into iPhone. Now try doing the same thing on your iPhone. Go ahead and write a Note or To Do's. What comes up is one huge bug.

Itunes changing track names, BUG?

Hi all. This is happening to me now, and I don't know what it could be. Names that have special characters (romántico, cumpleaños, corazón) are changing automatically to other characters (rom·ntico, cumpleaÒos, corazÛn). When I go back and correct the characters, the names don't change once they play again. This happens in the track names, artists, albums... everywhere there is such characters.

I thought it was a plug in a downloaded from Facebook called iLike, since that's the last thing I remember installing in iTunes. But I did a search for iLike and trashed them all. I restarted hoping that was it, but the problem still exists.

Where do installers place iTunes plugins? Other than that, what else could be changing names when tracks play?

iTunes reinstalling apps problem

I don't know what's causing this and it happens about 50% of the time. When I connect my iPhone (3G 16gb) to iTunes it says that it is installing all of the apps that I have had installed on my phone since day one....after about 10 minutes of "installing" and syncing it says that I have 15 errors and my apps were not installed(I currently have 15 apps). Looking at my phone, all the icons still exist and most still work but 1 or 2 (different apps each time) do not work, when the icon is tapped a popup window comes up that says something like this application cannot be opened.

I have to remove the apps that don't work from both iTunes and the iPhone and then redownload and resync for them to work. (not difficult but frustrating especially when it is an app that keeps records like WeightTrack and I lose data)

FYI - Using windows XP, iTunes 7.7, has happened with both apps that I purchased through iTunes and iPhone.

Anyone else have this issue? what am I doing wrong?

 

[cantankerously]

One of my biggest issues. No fix yet.

iPhone and Outlook

Simple, non-repeating appointments added into iPhone will sync into outlook as a recurrence event. The new appointments do not show up on the host computer under month/day/year views, only under view all (advanced). Only Title, Date, and Location sync properly, appointments notes and alarms do not.

You can bypass this by making appoinments entered in the iPhone as a daily recurrence and ending it on the same day. They will now show up on the host machine under month/day/year views.

Apple, please resolve this issue with the next firmware/ software update.

Thank you!!!!

Here's one I had made a thread about:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/522371/

Start a new email. Then write anything you like and end with a period. Now, immediately after the period (no spaces) enter any capital letter. Then hit backspace. It should just delete that last capital letter. Instead, it goes on a deleting spree erasing everything you've written unless you stop it quickly. To stop it you have to hit shift (up arrow) and it will stop.

Yes, I have the same bug. It's not mail application specific... happens in other text editing scenarios. Also, I've noticed that the shift arrow stays lit up while the erasing is happening.

Sounds familiar as it just happened to me. I did a soft reset of the phone and the sounds work fine now.

However, what I found interesting is that after the reset, my phone came up as a newly activated phone, with all my settings lost but all my apps still installed. I had to move all my icons around again (the phone even came up with the dialog box on how to move icons).

Weird.

Home Screen Malfunctioning -- Sounds Malfunctioning

Yesterday I had to help my friend who is a new iPhone user restore her iPhone because her home screen would not come up...instead it would just bring up the Favorites (which is typically a double click on the home button), and would not charge. Had to restore it just for it to work properly.

And...all of the text messaging sounds work except for the "Tri tone" sound, which when is turned on, and a text is received, all the iPhone does is vibrate.

Very frustrating for my friend who spent half a grand on the transition to the new iPhone for it to not work properly. Any ideas? Just an early 2.0 bug?

Thanks

 

[Immortal Game]

I was in a call and I was browsing the web at the same time. I opened a pdf, Safari quit and I was left with this.

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Aramis]

Same here...

Sorry to hear you are having this issue, but happy its not just me.

bugs i've encounterd

1. pic rotate. 2x so far my pics will automatically rotate to the right when i view them and not go back . i have to restart and it worked fine

2. as i have read about the sounds. i have had the keyboard clicking sound like it was muffled and also a couple times and when i got a text or email the sound did not happen

3. when taken pics, a few of them had a warped look to them.


these are the things that i have ran into. i can't wait for the update because i know it's not the phone.

thanks apple for just rushing something that a lot of people looked forward to out there and drag your feet with an update what happened to testing?
