Serious iPhone 3G Bugs I Wish I had known about

This is obviously a sensitive topic. I guess many of you are not exactly power users? If you've seriously been using your devices for years without hitting either of these problems them you are probably not exactly pushing the envelope, so to speak.

I had no idea that fracking up your phone made you a power user.

An iPhone has been in my hands everyday almost all day since June 29th, 2007. Jailbroken 99% of the time with custom themes and Cydia and Installer apps. So if I'm not a power user then I don't know who is. It certainly isn't you since you've only had the phone for less than 14 days.

That's a ridiculous statement, What makes an iPhone user a power user then?

PS: The problems I report are not better than anyone else's. They are simply fundamental enough to perhaps justify not being buried among the huge variety contained in the general Bug thread. And, on reflection, I think they are also better than anyone else's.

haha since when are iPhone users "power users"? I have yet to see a truly productive app, either on jailbroken phones or officially signed third party apps.

I'm curious. What kind of usage would I have to produce to become a "power user"?

My phone requires a charge on my drive home from work every day after 8 hours of Safari browsing, texting, phone calls, weather bug updates, Facebook browsing, and many other miscellaneous tasks. I have yet to experience either of the problems you've mentioned with this phone.

Daily use of my iPhone for a year and a half begs to differ.

Yeah I noticed. It's several pages long and full of minor bugs that are of little interest to most people.

The bugs I'm talking about are fundamental to the core features of the iPhone. Sure all S/W has bugs, but not long standing bugs as fundamental as these. You Apple fans are way too forgiving of Apple's foibles for the common good.

e.g.

Bob:
"Try reinstalling all of your apps, one by one. Do this 12 or so times and it should eventually fix your problem for a few hours"

Sam:
"Thanks Bob! Worked a treat! Everything working fine now! "

I know you're frustrated, but I know dozens of people (myself included) that have iPhones. I don't know anybody that has had this problem you speak of. You describe them as "bugs", but you don't explain what the bug is. It really just sounds like you have a defective phone.

Nobody is trying to tell you not to return the phone and get one you like better, but your assertion that it will eventually happen to everybody is quite ludicrous. It's misleading and baseless.
