[Original iPhone] 2.0.2 fixes...

Glad I did it.
What I have noticed in the 24 hours since I updated is better AT&T bars and better wi-fi connection.
1.1.4 gave me 2-4 bars in the house. 2.0 and 2.0.1 gave me no service where I was getting service before.
1.1.4 gave me almost full wi-fi around the house and outside. 2.0 and 2.0.1 gave almost none outside.
So from that standpoint, 2.0.2 is great.

Well here's Apple's policy...
"When you buy a song, video, game, or album from the iTunes Store, you are entitled to download it a single time. If you want to download it again, you must purchase it again. You can copy downloaded content between authorized computers. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1469?viewlocale=en_US)"
In other words Apple is just giving you and I the big finger. This is the exact reason I DRM strip all the music I buy from iTunes. **** you Apple and your ****** policy!

Apple can you please tell us when you are fixing original iPhone?

can someone from apple please tell us your plan for fixing the original iphone and the "incorrect signal strength formula"?

yes you are correct in your statement but i was curious to see if that interpretation was correct so i called....after about 15 minutes a supervisor came on the phone and said the update is not available for the original iPhone because it is only for the 4.0 software which is not compatible with the original iPhone...and i may not have actually known what was going on but i did realize that i could not make phone calls at certain times even though I had 1 or 2 bars....now i realize this was because of the "incorrect signal strength formula" that has been present since the launch in the original iPhone as you stated....just becuase i could not pinpoint the problem (becuase i am not an engineer) does not mean i used the phone flawlessly with no problems...now that i now what the cause of the problem is i can identify it every time it happens...i used to just think that maybe the call was dropped but in fact i never had any service to begin with because the phone incorrectly displayed that i had service when i did not

Please fix the sensor! I want my original iphone back!

I want my original iphone back!! I LOVED my original iphone. I never even upgraded to 3g or 3gs because it always just worked for me. I was excited to try the new iphone 4, thinking it was time to upgrade. I'm so sorry I did it. I am now on my 2nd iphone 4 and am even more unhappy than I was with the first one. I didn't have dropped calls on my first one but the time keep changing to another time zone randomly and didn't change when it should. Now with my second iphone 4 I'm having the sensor issue CONSTANTLY. I've tried it with case, without case, it doesn't seem to even matter. I put people on hold, speakerphone, disconnect, mute. It's a nightmare.
I have been a loyal apple advocate since in the early 80's but this product may just shake my support. PLEASE fix this issue. Don't tell me to buy a case! It doesn't fix the problem.
Unhappy. : )

I wonder if all the people reporting the problem hold the phone between their shoulder and their cheek?
(I have to admire such courage. You wouldn't catch me using my £600 phone whilst intentionally leaving go of it!)

2.0 & iTunes 7.1 Screwed Original iPhone Big Time!

It seems a lot of people are having issues with 2.0 and 7.1 iTunes but wondering if anyone is seeing these issues. I've add my original iPhone since Day 1 release (yes, 4 hours in line) and have been preaching the praises of Apple and this phone for the past year, I cannot be without it. Now with 2.0 and 7.1, I AM ******!
Nothing has worked correctly since this download. My touchscreen is f'd. I cannot forward email, the button simply does not work when pressed. The 'Save Picture' also does not work when pressed. I managed to become a master at typing on the touchscreen keyboard and now when I touch the letters they are highlighted as the correct letters, but a completely different letter shows up on the screen and AutoCorrect doesn't even recognize it. My caps lock will come on on its own and the delete button gets stuck on and deletes multiple lines of tex. Everything with this recent download has brought my phone to a crawl in addition to constant lock ups and reboots.
There are many others, but the biggest is the touchscreen issue. Are there others out there having the same issue? If there is a fix, please let me know, otherwise, Apple, how the **** did you miss such a simple software test?
Also, I want to move to 3G, anyone having these screen issues with 3G?

Short, I guess we were posting the same issue at the same time--or else I would've just replied to your thread w/o beginning my own. Agreed. Same issues as you (and more) since 2.0 and iTunes updates.
I really hope there is a fix because this stinks.

I'm trying to activate my original Iphone for a few weeks

My daughter dropped my 3G in the toilet- and so of course it is toast. I ordered a new 4S- but they are backordered- so I was told I could place my current sim card into my original Iphone. When I do- it shows a picture of cord to be plugged into Itunes. When I do plug it in, my computer recognizes it, but the phone is just frozen with this icon. I've tried 3 different computers and they all had the newest Itunes software. Has anyone had this happen? And more importantly- do you know how to fix it? I really need a phone for the next 3 weeks! Thanks for any ideas!

Your patience is greatly appreciated joanr1331! Let's get your iPhone 5c activated once and for all. May I have you remove the sim card, reboot, and reinsert, & retest. Keep us posted with your findings.
Thank you…

[Original iPhone] To 2..2 or not 2..2 that is the question!

Would like to hear from Original iPhone owners.
I see so many different issues and while 2.1 (or anything after 1.1.4) is loaded with its own issues and unreliability, wondering why get rid of the problems I know and have to find out new ones.
Let me know.

Lots of bug fixes in iPhone OS 2.2 (5G77). Fewer MobileSafari crashes, fewer third-party applications crashes, and improved memory management.
Notice I said "fewer".
Interestingly, the 2.2 Wi-Fi client is still somewhat aggressive in its power management. Would be nice to incorporate user-defined power management across the entire phone.
As far as stability of third-party apps in 2.2, some of the UI libraries still have bugs. I imagine this is known issue by now.
Still some missing items that limit mainstream enterprise adoption, including...
     - lack of management for IT policy to control app store restrictions,
     - limited device security/encryption,
     - no detection/reporting of integrity violations
     - no ability to receive policies over the air (users MUST install them)
     - centralized backup / versioning
Overall, it's a solid consumer & small-business platform. It's still in its infancy for corporate administrators, developers, and management.
Thoughts?

Mail app crashes when opening on original iPhone

My teenage son's mail app keeps crashing when he tries to open it on his original iPhone. It has been happening since 2.0, with neither of the latest updates fixing the problem. He has been a jailbreaker with his phone in the past.
I have never jailbroken my iPhone and I have no application problems, other than some buggy apps from the app store that I had to delete because they would brick my phone. I've always been able to get my phone back to normal after a clean restore (not from back-up), and am very careful now. I have had no problems with the new 2.0.2 update and I have five pages full of apps from the app store.
Is a clean restore his only option? He seems reluctant to do this but I told him he may have some lingering problems due to a corrupt file from when he was jailbroken.
Are there easier, simpler solutions to fix a crashing Mail App before resorting to a clean restore?
Thanks in advance, Deb

Just a note, I've never jailbroken my phone.
I have five different mail accounts on my phone, could that be the problem? I click on the mail app button, it sits at the mail screen (no accounts visible) for a few seconds then dumps back to the home screen. I check options and my mail accounts are there, the app just won't finish booting up. This problem is madning and I really wish there was a solution beyond wiping my phone.

Unlocked Original iPhone

Ok so I used to have tmobile and last summer I bought a hacked original iPhone off of eBay. After 2 months of having it the keyboard stopped working. Well just the last row where the space bar is. I didn't even attempt to restore it I just ended up getting AT&T and a 3g.
Now I want to fix the broken iPhone to use as a back up if something were to go wrong with my 3g. If I were to a forced restore on iTunes, because the phone won't even turn on anymore, it gets stuck on the Apple Logo, should it fix the keyboard problem and lock the phone back to only AT&T?

Restoring the iPhone with iTunes may fix the keyboard problem, but maybe not. Restoring the iPhone with iTunes will re-lock the iPhone with AT&T unless the restore process bricks the iPhone during the process due to the hack used.

Original iphone/2.0 software/bmw 328i/bluetooth problems

I have the original iphone; updated to 2.0. The bluetooth used to work great with the bmw - now with the 2.0, the phone locks up & major problems connecting, staying connected. Address book no longer syncs either. I re-paired the phone, but no dice. Any other ideas?...
Thank you

2.0.1 fixed the matter regarding the bluetooth....
the address book sync has been an issue from the beginning... who knows..
the phone is snappier... it works... I can live....

Original iPhone. 1 green pixel. Dead center.

Certain not to find too much sympathy around here, if any.
Purchased the iPhone in July 2007. Apple had to replace it as the screen went dead (touch areas) in October 2008. So roughly 16 months of life out of that one.
As of yesterday, there is green pixel in the center of the screen. Did a search for this is issue and apparently it is a stuck pixel and this site (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home) is the only option. Ran their fix overnight which is flashing the screen in a frantic rotation. The "stuck" pixel is still there (it is a green pixel).
So, 16 months later, it appears that this iPhone is having an issue, how bad it progresses remains to be seen. Can't say I am pleased as the phone cost me over $625 with tax, so annualized that $234.48 per year to have the pleasure of owning this phone. That is without the phone plan. Just the hardware.
Going to keep trying and possibly restore the phone to see if I can shake this green pixel and if anyone here has any other advice, appreciate your input.
My final attempt will be to go to the genius bar and see, what, if anything, can be done (ie. buy another original iPhone, if they even carry any in stock, which I highly doubt.).
I'm biting my lip on this as I have come to expect quality from Apple, which as of late with their updates for our OS, etc. has been somewhat suspect.
Apple apologists, please do not use this thread for any other reason but to advise.
Thank you all in advance.

Came across an app in the itunes store that goes for .99 to do the same thing that the link in my original post does.
Read through the reviews of this app and the solution was in review section.
Apply pressure. So I did. Green pixel is gone. Gone.
In this day and age of modern technology, sometimes it takes the old school way of banging the side of the TV to get it to work.
To those who come across this thread seeking an answer. Try the free website in my original post. If that doesn't do it, take your thumb, place it on that green or red or blue pixel and apply pressure. Fixed.

Original iPhone with Motorola t505

I purchased a Motorola t505 bluetooth handsfree car kit with an infinixx A2DP adapter. I am pleased to say that it works quite well in my car, including the FM transmission. This unit announces the number of the caller when a call comes in.
My only gripe is that for some reason the caller id does NOT work if the caller is in my contacts list. I paired the Motorola with my sister's phone (she also has a contact list but a Motorola Razor) and the caller id worked fine. I then had a friend call (took him out of my contacts list) and the caller id worked fine.
I won't take all of my contacts out to get this to work. Was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this?
Thanks.

I can tell you exactly why you can't play music. The original iPhone and iPhone 3G support bluetooth headset mode only, which means you can only pair with a bluetooth device for voice calls. Just FYI, FM pairing is actually called Bluetooth pairing.
Most other phones, even ones from 2007, support a full bluetooth profile, which includes playing music. For an unknown reason, Apple didn't start supporting this until the iPhone 3GS.

Cannot restore original iPhone to original firmware, can someone help?

Alright, I have tried literally everything virtually possible to fix my iPhone. Currently it is in this state:
And I want to fix it up and make it back to the original iPhone firmware. It currently has no firmware installed. It cannot install any firmware and if I try it will just fail. Please help.

**SOLVED***
After wasting 6hrs and trying everything under the sun, Redsnow, TinyUmbrella, Snowblizzard, Ziphone, ect, ect..
I was able to resolve this by simply switching usb ports.. I was dong this on an Acer netbook and just went from the 2 usb portside to the main one near the power source.. RESTORED via Itunes and I am back to a working phone...
Not sure what caused the issue tho, as I was on a (presumebly) bone stock Iphone and simply tried to update the software from the phone...

Vibrate Intensity on Original iPhone

Although it happened only every so often before the 2.0 update... the vibrate intensity on my original iPhone drops significantly almost all the time ever since the 2.0 update. I can barely feel it when it is in my pocket and I have missed numerous phone calls, text messages, etc. when in a noisy environment. It is usually stuck like that 90% of the time and I either have to turn the phone on and off to fix it (which only lasts temporarily) or I have to slide the ring volume bar back and forth in the settings menu (again, only lasts temporarily). This is really driving me crazy and I thought it would have been fixed with the 2.0.1 update. It did not.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Could it possibly be a hardware issue? Bringing it to the Genius Bar is not an issue, as I have one close to my house.

My intensity isn't intermittent like it sounds like yours is. But I am having the same issue. I did not have the original iPhone but i just got the 3G and I have never missed so many calls and texts in my life. I can never feel it vibrate

Upgrading from Origina iPhone to iPhone 3G

So as my title states I'm thinking of upgrading, I've had my OG iPhone for quite a while and after playing with a buddy's 3G phone I think I'm hooked. I'm just wondering if it is as simple as buying the phone and plugging into iTunes or what. Also I'm wondering if theres a required change in phone plans. Any help is appreciated, maybe this is easier than I am making it out to be.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

the best thing about upgrading is if you ever crack your screen it's ALOT cheaper to fix! my husband cracked the screen on the original iPhone. the only problem was that the LCD and the Lens are connected so you have to replace both. However, on the 3G iPhone, the Lens and LCD are separate. So if you crack your screen, all you have to do is replace the Lens instead of both parts (LCD's are alot more expensive!). When I cracked my screen on the 3G iPhone, i mailed it in to a repair center called Dr. Cell Phone. they fixed it for $99 and sent it back to me on the same day. good service. here's their website just in case any of you already have that problem (hopefully not!): www.drcellphone.com

Original Iphone Running Slow with 2.0 Upgrade?

After upgrading to the new software update 2.0, my original Iphone seems to be running slower than previously. This includes switching from applications, moving screens and even typing a simple note or text. Anyone else having this issue? If so, anyone have a quick fix on this? And yes, I have restarted the Iphone with no luck as well.

I think Apple is having massive issues with this whole "upgrade". In my opinion it has to do with the fact that applications can't run in the background (like most other real smartphones on the planet). I took my first generation iPhone into the store for this issue; the slowness progressed to the point that the entire phone crashed routinely requiring a full restore at least once every 3 days and several restarts a day. I had to restore my phone about 6 or 7 times a week.
I went into the store and they had a pile of 1st generation iPhones sitting there. Rather than go through the standard checklist of things that might be wrong, the Apple rep just handed me a new one and said that the new one should solve the issue. Three other customers were in there for the exact same reason; i overheard the rep tell one upset customer that it has to do with memory overload and that the memory module will eventually crash; hence the need for a new phone.
Going through this whole experience made me realize what an idiot i was to ditch my Curve for this garbage. I am waiting for the Blackberry Bold to be released and then i am ditching this paper-weight. Oh, and the new iPhone is even worse and is currently in restore mode as i write this.
Note to Apple; please continue to deny that you made a crappy product and continue to blame your issues on developers and the consumer. I am sure that business users like myself will be going back to RIM as soon as they can.
Advice to Business Apple iPhone Users; Sell your iPhone on ebay to some moron who is interested in playing Monkeyball and get a real business device that actually pushes email and doesn't crash three times a day.
