Help: iPhone4 Compass Keeps Freezing

I just got my iphone and was testing the compass function. For some reason, the compass keeps freezing after 3-5 seconds of use. It would move for a while and after 3-5 seconds, it would freeze.
I tried reading the forum but looks like no one is having a similar problem like mine.
I have done a rest by pressing on the power and home button but the problem persists.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this? This is frustrating as I need to reply on the compass at times. Please help.

OK, I called Support, and explained my situation. I was also having an issue with callers not hearing me on the other end (this is when the signal is good).
We went through all the standard help support questions and steps:
Did you turn the phone off and back on? yes
Did you hard reset the phone? yes
Did you restore the phone to factory defaults? yes
OK, looks like it might be a hardware problem - you can take it to an Apple Store for replacement if one is near by, or we can ship a new one to you.
So I have a new one on its way. should be here today. we will see, but I am pretty sure this one will work, Since the ones at the store had no problems.
You do have to figure that these are made in China, and as many as Apple makes and ships, there are going to be a quite few that don't work right (not talking about the antenna issue, that's a design flaw and it has been beat into the ground)
Apple has, to my satisfaction, taken care of me with little hassle. If this one comes working correctly, I will be happy.
I have never been a fan of Apple, due to their closed expensive proprietary nature, and lack of expandability. But this iPhone is currently the best phone on the market. I take my hat off to Apple for creating an awesome new generation of devices. I hope they work hard and stay ahead of the coming new android phones, they do deserve it. (not trying to start any flaming wars here, I bought the iPhone because it is the best out there)

HELP - Ipod 30gb keeps freezing

okay, i've reset the darn thing about a million times. all updates have been installed. yet, my ipod keeps freezing. if i am lucky, i get one or two songs to complete before it freezes. i've got about 20gb of music on it now, which i'm guessing is too much of a stress for the little fellow.
this morning i restored the ipod, hoping that this would solve the problem. while i wasn't happy about having to load a library of music back on to the ipod, i felt as if i had no choice. now, however, it still freezes up on me. HELP!

Take it to Apple service centre & tell them your problem & all the things that you have tried to make it work. If your ipod is under warranty they will sort out your problem either by rectifying it or by replacing your ipod.

Help! System keeps freezing

I have recently bought the new imac 21.5" running Snow Le opard(last month infact) and transferred my data from my previous imac running Snow Leopard using set-up assistant. After a couple of weeks my system froze and the only way to get out was to power down with the power button. After re-starting I was getting the file sign with the question mark, showing that the computer couldn't find my hard drive. After re-startingfrom the Snow Leopard install disk it still couldn't find my hard drive, so I powered down again and left it til the morning and tried again starting from the boot disc - from here I saw that the hard drive was verified so I repaired the disc and permissions and restarted - everything was fine, no hard disc problems. However, this has happened now four times, the system completely freezes, I have to do a shut down and encounter the same problem each time, although after a few hours I can re-boot and get everything up and running. I thought originally it was a problem with an open application but the last time it happened (a couple of hours ago) I had nothing running, I had just turned on screen sleep. I am wondering if my time machine back-up drive may be the problem but not being computer savvy I haven't a clue. I would be very grateful for any advice given as I don't really know what to do next

I experienced a different reaction from my Mac book pro after installing wwan.
I actually connect to the internet using a Merlin data card for which this update was made but I live in Greece. What happens is my menu bar keeps quiting and coming back up every ten seconds or so ad noseum. This prevents me from doing pretty much anything since iTunes comes to foreground every time the menu bar gets going (every 10 sec). I spent all of yesterday trying to figure out a solution to no avail. I really need to unistall the wwan nightmare so if anyone from apple is reading this DO SOMETHING. I NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK!!!. And next time you come up with an update like this try to make it network independant or something.

HELP! WRT610N keeps freezing!!

My brand new WRT610N will freeze at least once a day. The blue power indicator flashes on the front panel. It requires a power cycle to get it going again. This is really BAD!!!! I bought Cisco because I trusted the name. I'm about 1 day away from returning it. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you facing these problem on your Wired Computer or on your Wireless Computer? Have you tried to Re-Flash the firmware on your Router? Re-Flash the firmware on your Router, Once done reset your Router and Re-configure all the settings back on it and check if you are facing the same problem.

HELP! product keeps freezing and will not w

I have had my 30 GB since March and have had no problems except for it freezing every once in a while and then I reset it with no problem. Since today, my device will not shut down properly or play any song at all. When it reset it, it turns on and I can scroll for a bit, but then as soon as I hit the button for it to do something it locks up again. I connected the usb port and it says the usb port has malfunctioned and does not recognize it. What do I do?

ralberts,
Gi've the Cleanup in recovery mode a try first.

Help! Curser keeps freezing up.

My curser has frozen up 2x in the last 20 minutes. Both times it was when I moved my computer. What could be going on?

I would agree: Sudden Motion Sensor is parking you hard drive.
Next time, put the computer to sleep and be sure it is fully asleep before any energetic movements.
And if you are going to bag your computer, be sure it is fully shut off. Sudden movement during the shutdown process will keep the MacBook from completing shutdown, and you risk having it wake up in an unventilated bag -- which is not a pretty sight.

Macbook Pro had blue screen of death. Now hard drive wont wake up. HELP! Computer keeps freezing and crashing.

About a month ago, the "beach ball" appeared on my screan. I rebooted the computer only to a blue screen. Was instructed to Safe Boot and repair my files. I got the computer to let me in. My only problem now is, when i open the mac, my hard drive does not make the wake up noise? Im not so computer savey so im not sure what im experiencing. My mac also sees the "beach ball" on occasion followed by it freezing and me having to hard reboot it. What am i experienceing?! Also when computer is booting up, a black screen with white lettering jimbo-jamble appears for a solid 30 seconds to a minute. I am worrying because my macbook was bought refurbished about a year ago, never had ANY problems, and JUST LIKE THAT...i got a world of issues.

hi.. i just buy my first blackberry curve 8530 and the trackpad keeps freezing,not let me do anything ,

I am having this same problem and I have NO idea what is causing it. I have been searching high and low for an answer, and nothing seems to be appearing. The only thing I could think now is to maybe re-install Firefox. That is the browser I have been using and that this has happened in.

Ipad 2 won't let me hit the back button...to move out of a program. it keeps freezing on the current application. I have tried restarting several times and the same thing keeps happening.My button is not working!! HELP!!!

My new IPAD 2.0 keeps freezing on the current application. When I hit the button on the IPAD it does not go back to the icon "desktop"....I have restarted several times and reset my settings and it is still happening. HELP.

My Applications keep Freezing - Brand New Mid-2010 iMac. Please Help

Hello - I am extremely frustrated because I just received my brand new iMac in the mail (27" i7 2.93GHZ / 2 TB HD / 4GB 2x2 SDRAM) and my applications keep freezing.
Let me give an example -
I keep trying to open iPhoto so that I can import and export photos from my other Mac and my iPhone. Just about any time I do any big upload, the whole iPhoto freezes on me and I have to force quit.
Another example (the one that is bugging me most right now): I am trying to paste 3 pages of text into a word document in Microsoft Word, and every time I attempt to do this, Word freezes.
I understand these are both rather minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just got this fricken thing and I'm hoping I can take some measure to avoid my applications freezing... Do I not have enough memory for running these simple day-to-day tasks? I was thinking about buying 2x 4GB OWC memory to make my computer 12GB instead of 4GB. Please help - I'd love to hear any opinions. Should I take it in? Or is it a simple fix? Even when I first booted my computer there was lag getting the introduction information to load.

Dang...
I was hopeful that this would have solved the problem. Unfortunately, it must be a software problem of some sort. I reset my PRAM(?) and did the disk utility cleanup or whatever it is called. I do appreciate you giving your 2 cents. Does anybody else have any ideas? Microsoft Office is still freezing up when I try to paste something from the internet -- Oddly enough, it isn't happening when I'm posting text from some websites, but is from others. The firewall is turned off, so I don't think its a security issue. Please help! I need some way to put my academic transcript in a word file so that I can email it for reference, so this is kind of urgent! Thank you.
Should I try a software update?
