IPhone 4G, anymore issues?

i am thinking of uprading 4 iPhone 3GS phones to the 4G. have the recent software updates solved or lessened the antennae issues? if anyone can provide any feedback so i dont make like a $1,200 mistake i would really appreciate it. thanks in advance....

Silencer,
You are being a little quick to read into the gnome's reply what you want to hear.
What ever antenna problems the iPhone 4 had prior to iOS 4.1 it still has. Nothing has been changed in regards to antenna issues except the change they made to the algorithm they use to display signal bars.
So if you are in an area that had signal lose before the update you will still have signal problems. Also the need for a case or bumper has not changed and in my area a case/bumper is absolutely required.
The antenna problem is a none issue if you use your phone in a good signal area and vice versa. But folks that that claim it is a problem are just as guilty as those that claim it is not a problem, because they never allow for the other persons usage area. It just depends on the location you use your phone the most and the relative signal strength in that area.
Some people with Prox Sensor issues have had the problem fixed with 4.1 and some still have the problem. There seems to be three P.S. conditions, ones that just worked from the get-go, ones that were marginal and souped up with software 4.1 and fixed and last and most disappointing to the owners is the P.S. that is just plain defective and 4.1 did not help those folks at all.
If I was going to mention anything else that seem to be posted a little more than I would have expected is over heating during charging/discharging. I don't personally have a good feel yet whether 4.1 helped that problem or not but I would doubt that it did. It just seem like Apple acquired more than their fair share of defective batteries and or chargers and software while a programmer might claim even that could be fixed with software (you know how they are) I don't think so.
Short story - is it is still a bit of a crap-shoot but knowing the longer you wait to buy in the better the units will be as they weed out all the headaches that slipped thru their QC departments.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • IPhone 5 Calendar Issue: January 1, 1995

    I flew from the Eastern Time Zone into Central Time Zone, which is my home time zone, this afternoon, and tonight my iPhone 5 is telling me the date is January 1, 1995. Can anyone help explain why this is happening, and/or how to fix it? It sometimes switches back to the correct date, but only for a minute or less. I have restarted my phone twice and it has not worked, even when I kept my phone off for over an hour. When the date is January 1st, 1995, I cannot send texts, or go onto the internet, or use any apps using data. PLEASE HELP!!
    Much thanks

  • Changed Apple ID password and now Iphone 6 having issues

    I had to reset my password when signing into my apple ID and now my Iphone is having issues.  I can not use imessage. Under settings, It will not allow me to turn it on.  Also under settings my facetime and iCloud are greyed out.  I can using os8.1.2  What am I missing?

    I had the exact same problem and this solution from another thread worked for me:
    "I was able to fix it by entering another email address even though it was wrong/invalid. Once I got the "incorrect email/password" message I then re-entered my actual apple ID and it finally took it. Make sure FaceTime is enabled and working first."
    In the FaceTime App, I entered a fictitious Apple ID and password. Then it actually signed me out. After that, I entered my AppleID and my new password and it did verify my email address.

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

  • I am frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues, while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode

    Hi,
    Greetings !!!
    I would like to know what is the root cause of Iphone camera hanging ?
    I am very frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues like while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode with full of pink & black line.
    I noticed while camera app turns ON the phone going to hand.
    I went to apple services server with this problem & they said they didn't see any errors.
    Kindly response with my request, and provide me the solution.
    Thannks & regards,
    -Vamsi

    That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.

  • IPhoto isnt recognising my IPhone 4S anymore

    iPhoto isnt recognising my IPhone 4S anymore. Cant download photos or video into my iPhoto after a recent update

    Make sure, your iPhone is fully charged.
    Does iTunes see your iPhone?
    Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone. If the iPhone asks you if you trust the Mac, confirm it.
    Then launch iPhoto and try again to import to iPhoto.

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

    For the same reason my car hasn't got in-dash satnav, leather upholstery or a six litre engine. Because that's how the manufacturer chose to make it. If you are unhappy with the specs, don't buy one.
    There is no information regarding any new iPhone.

  • IPhone 5 camera issue.... NEED HELP please

    I just got this iPhone 5 camera issue. I was taking pictures (around 20 pictures), suddenly the camera only focused downward (to the ground). Even I raised the iphone higher and focused to the head of person that stood in front of me, but the camera still took the pictures of that person's hip and legs. Every pictures that I took were focusing downward.
    I tried it today the second time. After I continously took 40 pictures, this problem started again.
    Should I get a replacement? IS it a ios6 or phone problem?
    Actually, after I restarted the phone, this problem was gone. But I just want to make sure that this problem will not come again after 1year warrantee.

    when your r on your camera app, press and hold the sleep/wake button and after 4 secs you'll see the red slide of power off option. without sliding that, just press and hold the home button until the camera app quits. This will reset the app.
    If this doesnt work, go to your comp and delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder (if you've previoulsy updated or restored) and do a restore. this will download a new update file from apple server that will be error free.

    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection that is tied to the iTunes that was used to download the apps. This means you have apps on your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account. Apps cannot be transferred or merged with another iTunes account.
    Delete the apps from your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account to prevent being prompted for the account's password when there are app updates for the apps downloaded with the account. An iTunes account cannot be deleted.

    Have not seen this issue, but keep an eye on it so to not miss the warranty period. If it does it again, take it to apple and get a replacement.
