iPhone OS 3.1 Buggy
The latest Apple OS 3.1 may have solved some prior issues, but what has it created in new problems for users. There have been numerous reports of:
* WiFi dropouts
* Constant crashes
* Incompatibilities with Exchange Services
* Dead GPS
* Tethering problems
* Decreased battery life
* Wake-up after sleep requires a hard reset
* Bricking phones
One constant we don’t know are these phones 2G, 3G, or 3Gs and certainly are they jail-broken; however, in Apple’s attempt to prevent jailbreaking through limiting access to the OS is creating even more extensive issues.
In a quick Twitter search, the level of discussion to the iPhone 3.1 OS firmware update is overwhelming.
Some users are finding it necessary to downgrade to iTunes 8 and firmware 3.0.1 to solve the problems. Doesn’t it seem Apple was premature in its release of the 3.1 OS update to meet the timing requirements with the release of iTunes 9 and the new iPods? Share your thoughts.
