[SNiiP3R]

Anyone here installed it yet ? any changes ? Its downloading now, but i dont know if I should install it.

Thanks

[thabayboy52]

didnt knw there was an update... let us knw what bug fixes it has

[uarefunnytome]

There is a new update via ITUNES

[jarofclay73]

Nice catch! :2cool:

[miggs1310]

awesome!!!

[jarofclay73]

248.7MB download. That's about right for an update.

[dturner]

It's a large one. 242MB.

[sportsfan12321]

I'm about 50% downloaded, I'll let you know whats up when I'm done installing. It says bug fixes again so I doubt it's anything noticeable, hopefully improves the lag etc. but we'll see.

[justahsquirrel]

so, what does this one do? more bug fixes?

[Kaitlyn2004]

Ya, anyone notice any changes?

(does upgrading clear anything? Any problems upgrading a stock iPhone 3G?)

[magermeister]

downloading and installing now..... let you know if anything changes hopefully it fixes the text sound for good now cus im so sick of it just going away

[SNiiP3R]

i dont see anything new, phone works the same :(

edit:
The keyboard seems to work better now

[dturner]

so, what does this one do? more bug fixes?
That's all that is listed. Hopefully the lag is gone along with the other problems. I am about half way through.

[jarofclay73]

so, what does this one do? more bug fixes?

I never had any major problems so I don't think I'm a good test of what this update really does. :smile:

[justahsquirrel]

how about anything with 3G? dropped calls? switching to edge...slow 3G speeds?

[nobopyon]

I never had any major problems so I don't think I'm a good test of what this update really does. :smile:

same here... unless they are completely fixed texting lag... then I can tell!

[sportsfan12321]

I'd give it a few days. After 2.0.1 people noticed a lot of improvements that seemed to disappear after a couple uses.

[Ezekiel2517]

i was reading about this being out today, but i didn't believe it. whats it do? just more bug fixes?

[ravman]

It's a software fix for the light leakage :wink:

[dturner]

whats it do? just more bug fixes?
That seems to be all. (fingers crossed)

[magermeister]

right u cant fix that with a software update lol its hardware problem lol

[Inverted]

This update fixes the white iPhones from cracking.....

[Kaitlyn2004]

This update fixes the white iPhones from cracking.....

Is Apple replacing phones that happened to?

[miggs1310]

hopefully this one fixes all the *****ing on forums. yeah right....

"my iphone doesn't drive my car and cook me dinner, what a piece..."

[iMeth]

hopefully this one fixes all the *****ing on forums


LMAO


hopefully something that boosts the 3G signal that would be really nice... haha

[dturner]

I think I read where this update adds a second speaker.:tounge:

[paa79594]

LMAO


hopefully something that boosts the 3G signal that would be really nice... haha

that's what i read on appleinsider

[flabyboy]

everything seems to be working at the moment. No keyboard lag yet. If it keeps my phone from crashing every other day than I will be pleased.

[JimmyR]

So has anyone actually installed this update yet?
It'd be nice to know what it fixes (or breaks) before I go install it!

[Boatski]

I still have text lag on 2.0.2

[wildonrio]

Crap, I'm in the middle of a restore that has taken me hours and hours so I can't install it yet.

[jbarrack]

I really hope this update fixes the install app hanging issue some people like myself are having with it taking 15 minutes to download and install a small app over Wifi.

[tgwinn]

just finished installing it and updating etc.....went to the sms and same old lag.... I sure wish they would get this fixed... :(

[paa79594]

Texting was great for me, the contacts app did not lag at all upon opening. going to check apps and see how they are opening as well

[jarofclay73]

Cool. 2.0.2 (5C1). Don't notice anything particularly different.

[jarofclay73]

This is what iPhone Hacks (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2008/08/firmware202news.html) is reporting:


Update 2:

Based on initial reports, iPhone users have observed the following so far:

Couple of iPhone users have suggested that they are seeing better 3G reception.
Netshare (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2008/08/iphone-netshare.html) still works.
Some users are reporting that everything seems snappier.

[ravman]

Did you click on this: http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/

Interesting.

[ravman]

Take the red pill or blue pill?


So it's a placebo update...

[stevetim]

Was the AT&T logo in quotes on the phone before?

Like this? 'AT&T' I thought I remember the bars and then the logo immediately like this... lllll AT&T
Now it looks like this lllll 'AT&T'

Dunno. Just wondering.

Update. A friend with 2.0.1 just said yes, the logo on 2.0.1 is NOT quoted.
Wonder what pertinence this has, if any.

[jarofclay73]

What does this have to do with anything? :confused:

[FlwrPwer]

Thanks for letting us know! Downloading and installing now :smile:

[ravman]

It was on the same page. A Microsoft advert on an page talking about Apple stuff.

[miggs1310]

he's suggesting that the update actually doesn't do anything at all except give you the perception that your phone is running better.

or maybe not........I don't know, leave me alone.....

Might be a 3G thing. Mine is still the same.

Funny. A pro-Windows Vista page. Whatever. I'm sticking with XP until MS won't support it anymore. That's what I did with Win98. :smile:

I don't think it has to do with anything. Once in a great while, I get a "cingular" logo on my iPhone. :laugh2:

[Flyingstar]

Actually this update fixes the "did I have a life before iphone syndrome"

[jbarrack]

I know I have read about a line of code you can put into terminal so it bypasses backing up. Does that bypass backing up when you update firmware? Because I have been backing up since 5:30 and my bar isn't half full.

[cdelauz]

Currently downloading it now.

[akaremo44]

Did not have any issues before update except battery meter does not move sometimes, other than that all else was great. No lag and really do not drop more than a couple calls a week which is no worse than any other phone I have ever owned.

[crupp]

sitting in the same spy on my house I now have 2-4 3g bars as opposed to the 0-1 before update. Could be other factors but I'll take even a slight improvement at this point.

[FlwrPwer]

Contacts still lag as soon as I open them up. But, it seems to respond better when I choose a specific contact to call.

Haven't sent a text yet, but my text lag was few and far between.

Haven't really tried anything else.

[1<3Iphone]

I really don't understand why my phone does this....whenever a new update has come up, I try to install it regularly, right (through itunes-->summary-->update), but it always throws up error 6. If I download the file to my computer than shift+click on restore and select the new file, it works fine. WHY?

This time, I forgot to download the file, so it keeps giving me error 6 messages. Can anyone help me out with this/upload the file?

Thanks...

[adlx21]

meh, dled the update and i still have crappy 3G reception. I used to have 3-4 bars BEFORE the 2.0.1 update :( . Now i only get 1..

BUT things are a lot smoother and faster.

[dturner]

Rebooting the phone after an update may change things. Just like updates on a computer, sometimes you have to restart.

[Lincoln]

Ehh.. I'm going to skip this one. I've gotten my iPhone where I want it (jailbroken) and I don't really feel like doing it again. I have no lag, stability issues, etc, either.

[adlx21]

Rebooting the phone after an update may change things. Just like updates on a computer, sometimes you have to restart.

Thats what I did.. and yet I still get this crappy 1 bar. Sometimes NONE, it'll bring me to the edge network.

[gotzaiPhone]

ehhh... my contacts still take a second to pop up, but they are "scrollable" right away as opposed to being stuck in place for a few seconds more. Texts don't seem any different and I am now officially for the first time ever, getting 2 bars instead of 1 bar in my house.

[thesaint]

If anyone has issues of "No service" when 3G is turned on, just try to hard reset it and things should be back to normal. No improvements in 3G.

[SikShift]

Uh oh, I just ran into a snag...I DL'd and installed the 2.0.2 update, but my phone has been stuck on "optimizing photos for iPhone" for a while now. Do I cancel the sync or what?

[adlx21]

If anyone has issues of "No service" when 3G is turned on, just try to hard reset it and things should be back to normal. No improvements in 3G.

Correct if im wrong, hard resetting is holding the home key and sleep/wake key at the same time for about 10 secs or less?

[jayzthinkin]

I hadn't had any more issues than the next person and after the update I'm not noticing any sort of "improvement".
Does anyone else besides me, think that this was a pacifier on Apple's part?

[cdelauz]

So far I do notice the phone alot snappier and no lagging in the text. I haven't made a call yet hopefully. I don't have that many dropped calls. So far this update has been good.

[detfan]

I still have text lag on 2.0.2


All I know is this garbage better be fixed before ATT released the Bold(whenever that might be) Or im going back to the BB, this ridiculous, if i wanted to beta test, I would have applied.

You'll be in for a long wait. That'll be a Verizon exclusive for at least a year.

My mistake, I thought you were referring to the BB Thunder

[eye-Fone]

As a new iPhone user (3G was my first iPhone), why doesn't Apple enumerate the bug fixes and other modifications/enhancements when releasing a update? How can we, as smart consumers, put up with that? Does Apple omit this from Mac and other product updates, as well?

Most other software companies tell their customers what fixes are included, especially the big company in the Pacific northwest.

[Hookem99]

I just read an UNCONFIRMED report in another forum that a user claims to have 'cut and paste' with 2.0.2. Can anyone confirm this? I have yet to update!

Yeah hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button until you see the Apple logo.

[Hookem99]

That what I thought, but since I have yet to update, I wanted to confirm it with someone who had!

[thomasanderson]

Thanks, glad I could make someone laugh :smile:

[styfle]

imo the contacts doesnt lag anymore
it just opens like other apps and then is immediately usable

[tharmsen]

Update. A friend with 2.0.1 just said yes, the logo on 2.0.1 is NOT quoted.

I noticed this as well, thank GOD they finally fixed this bug. JESH... it was so annoying.

Carry on.

[tharmsen]

I just read an UNCONFIRMED report in another forum that a user claims to have 'cut and paste' with 2.0.2. Can anyone confirm this? I have yet to update!
YES!!!!!1!!!11 It's definitely not there!!!!

[Caliphone]

No noticable difference here. Same crappy 3G. I upgraded about 3 weeks ago, so I am considering returning to my V1.

Question for those of you familiar with Apple, will these folks stand behind their product and fix this even if it takes a recall to repair or replace these phones? Or are we stuck paying 15 bucks more per month for twice as fast that can't find a signal? (until the inevitable lawsuit comes at least)

Edit: The least they could do is quit running that "twice as fast" commercial, I wanna throw my phone at the t.v. everytime I see it!

I believe Apple will do everything it takes not to perform a recall. I have had items recalled by Apple before, so it is not unheard of, but this would be a massive recall....so I think they're gonna exhaust a lot of options first.

[Caliphone]

For sure. I don't fault them for trying to fix it with updates. But at the end of the day if updates don't fix it will they spend the millions necessary to preserve their (and AT&T's) reputation? Hopefully AT&T is leaning on them pretty hard behind the scenes.

[aknightstale41]

Had a little lag before the update, and i was only able to launch a particular game app once and it crashed everytime since (Cannon), now after the update there is no lag at all and the game launches everytime...so far,.. have to wait and see if this is a permenent fix over time though.

[BaLLi5t1c]

I don't know if it's a coincidence but I've had more dropped calls today (post-update) than I ever have since I owned the 3G. My girlfriend said that she didn't even make it to my voicemail on several attempts and it just cut her off. Also, I had a few dropped calls from my roommate and best friend too. I NEVER experienced any of these issues prior to this update. Anyone else in this boat?

[Iceblinkluck]

i noticed in mail that in the preview it says to: before it did not say that. However still does not display forwarded msgs in email. the contacts are faster, but not sure if they will slow down again.

[sonicwind]

this is ridiculous. Apple should list the bugs they are fixing so people can choose whether to update. Perhaps this is only an attempt to out pace the jailbreakers. Not a single confirmed, uniform improvement.

[jackz5o]

Another update that did absolutely nothing for me...

[tharmsen]

I don't see any difference on my V1 phone.

[ravman]

I just applied the update, wow, my light leakage has gone. It's gone... seriously it's gone. Jobsie, you're the man. How can I ever compare you to Microsoft again? Apple truly makes bug free code.

Yeah, I'm being sarcastic.

[Hondamaker]

YES!!!!!1!!!11 It's definitely not there!!!!

LMAO---you didn't make the 'not' small enough!

[mlass]

Feels "Snappier" and also noticed increased speed of 3G.

Texting keeps up with as fast as I can type, but only time will tell.

Manual enable/disable of 3G still takes some time 10sec from 3G to EDGE and 5sec from EDGE to 3G sometimes with "No Service" still.

As for Signal Strenght unable to say at this time, since I have 5 bars at Home and Work, but will test it in Irving where I have noticed alot of dropped calls.

im not sure if its possible to increase the spead of disabling/enabling 3g
that might be AT&T related (something to do with their network)

[mcaram16]

well i just installed 2.0.2 and now i can't get on the web, can't access the app store or itunes! I have full service with 3G and still nothing!!

on the bright side, contacts do seem a little quicker! Yeah!!

[NoRegrets78]

No service improvement whatsoever.

[dcom]

Ehh.. I'm going to skip this one. I've gotten my iPhone where I want it (jailbroken) and I don't really feel like doing it again. I have no lag, stability issues, etc, either.

This is why I decided to unjailbreak mine. With updates coming out bimonthly, I'm more interested in getting those than having a jailbroken phone.

[Cloverfield]

Another update? Didn't we only just get 2.1?

[FlwrPwer]

Another update? Didn't we only just get 2.1?

We just got 2.0.1. Now this is 2.0.2.

2.1 would be a complete update of the operating system if I'm not mistaken.

[Cloverfield]

Alright smartarse.

[FlwrPwer]

Alright smartarse.

Hey, at least it's a cute arse :tounge:

[dwp1975]

Mines justed finished updating. Hopefully it shows some sort of improvement. :laugh2:

[flabyboy]

You'll be in for a long wait. That'll be a Verizon exclusive for at least a year.
The Bold is actually exclusive to AT&T,not Verizon. Maybe you were thinking of the Thunder which is the touchscreen blackberry due to come out this fall

[dcom]

I don't think my reception has improved, although I'm not sure if that was part of the fix or not. I bounce from 2 to 4 bars of 3G here at work depending on whether I put the phone on my desk or hold it (4 on the desk, 2 in my hand).

[nobopyon]

is Apple trying to play some kind of psychological game on me...?
without knowing what this update fix....
it starting to make me think... Oh... 3G reception is better.... or.. maybe not...

contact shows up quicker...or maybe not...

but I just got updated, so maybe it seems better...

me confused~... LMAO

well, after all, I can't tell much difference, since I don't really have major issue on mine... :)

[Huncowboy]

I notice absolutely zero changes in this update. Same lag on calendar, text, same random bars for 3G, same sync problems in google contacts (that probably is not the phone anyhow)...

I honestly think these guys are working on the deeper stuff, whatever that may be. I doubt they are focusing on things that are rather inconveniences at the moment. You know the things on the surface, the things we notice. There has to be a TON of stuff that needs to be fixed that we have no clue about but are more important than lagging SMS and stuff.... just my 0.02

[crupp]

I see no difference mine is NOT in quotes with 2.0.2

[nbdiver]

no difference here for me either!

[iLLGT2]

I guess another update i will not be doing..

[FlwrPwer]

Why do people not want to do the update? I'm not getting it. Well, I get it if your phone is jailbroken, but if it's not???

Who knows what bug fixes these updates are addressing. They might not be visual bugs to all of us users, but they could be some pretty big bugs. You have no way of knowing. And wouldnt you rather your phone work the way it should than not all just because it didnt give you a "visual" bug fix?

[Series335]

You'll be in for a long wait. That'll be a Verizon exclusive for at least a year.

you're prbly thinking of the touchscreen Bberry 'Thunder' which is all Verizon.

I agree, and this update did address some minor fixes that i had.
Keep given me those updates apple....im addicted to them, i"ll need another fix in a week or so lol.

[b00gie]

i just did the update.. i used to have full 3g signal at work, now i have no service.

does anybody know how to reverse this?

[dcom]

Try plugging the phone in to a USB cable or rebooting it. I had the same thing right after I upgraded but the signal showed up after I plugged it in.

[b00gie]

thanks dcom.. i tried that... still doesnt work. i'll see what its like when i step out the building.

[Mike12000]

FlwrPwer, it's weird crap like that happening to people's phones that makes us hesitate. Plus not everyone in the world has high speed internet available. I'm 3 miles outside a college town and I don't. So a 24 hour download for an update that may actually hurt the performance of my Version 1 phone is a shaky proposition.

Didn't DL 2.0.1. On the fence about this one...

[Hondamaker]

no difference here for me either!Same here. I never really had much trouble, so I can't really tell the difference.

[adlx21]

i just did the update.. i used to have full 3g signal at work, now i have no service.

does anybody know how to reverse this?

im getting this also.. it will just bring me back to edge. which is pointless, i could just get a v1 if i wanted edge. but this happened after the 2.0.1 update... :confused:

[FlwrPwer]

i just did the update.. i used to have full 3g signal at work, now i have no service.

does anybody know how to reverse this?

This happened to me, but not after an update. It just happened. I had 3G service and then I had no service, not even Edge.

The only thing that worked was a full restore of the phone as new.

[ColsTiger]

Not sure really know what your talking about but ok..

You're right. I didn't know what I was talking about. I confused it with the new touchscreen model that is supposed to be a direct competitor to the iPhone. Thanks for the clarification.

[firewire]

Does anyone else think these problems are pretty ridiculous considering these updates are described as "bug fixers?" Apple has to get their **** together because they are starting to remind me of Microsoft..

[dturner]

Does anyone else think these problems are pretty ridiculous considering these updates are described as "bug fixers?" Apple has to get their **** together because they are starting to remind me of Microsoft..
I don't have the 3G but do have to say I am pretty disappointed in Apple. I am pretty new to their products and really want to be a fan but this is a real PR nightmare.
Even before the 3G launch I said I was going to stick with the V1. Of course a week after the the 3G was released I was beginning to slip and thinking of getting it. But the more I read on the forums the easier it was to make the decision not to get it.
This phone was simply not ready for release. It needed more R&D.

[AntonChigurh]

After this update my text messages began to get laggy again. 2.0.1 semi-fixed this and it seems 2.0.2 just reversed it back to being slow.

[Hookem99]

Just found this on CNBC.com http://www.cnbc.com/id/26300805/for/cnbc/

Here is a clip!!

"Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple did not acknowledge a problem until Tuesday, and then provided few specifics about what, exactly, Monday evening's software update was designed to fix.The iPhone 2.0.2 software update "improved communication with 3G networks," said Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bow****."

I just read that. That is absolutely ridiculous. So what exactly are they working on in 2.1 then? Are we to assume that they released a 3G fix in a matter of days considering that we just recently heard about the Infineon chip issue? It's nonsense.

Hmm..good find....vewwy interwesting, i dont have 3g reception here, but i will check it out when i travel this weekend.

[Supervillain]

update did not change anything for me.

[kokogirl]

I do not see any difference. I have good reception where I am.

[Hookem99]

I do not see any difference. I have good reception where I am.

Maybe 2.0.2 was a placebo update, so Apple can say they tried, must be AT&T's problem! :D

[AntonChigurh]

Anyone else's text messaging laggy again after downloading 2.0.2?

[doron]

yeah mine just finishing up...i should say its flowing pretty smoothly...i guess because i'm praughly the only one doing the update at the moment

[Kaitlyn2004]

Well, today I got the keyboard lag.

No clue what bugs they "fixed"

[eye-Fone]

Does anyone else think these problems are pretty ridiculous considering these updates are described as "bug fixers?" Apple has to get their **** together because they are starting to remind me of Microsoft..
"starting" to remind you? It's too late.

[doron]

my text is ok

[ravman]

I'm getting text lag. Not a lot of the time like before, but it's still there.


my text is ok

[Jhors2]

My safari seems to load pages much more efficiently, on Wi-Fi and 3G both, it seems quite a bit snappier, I like this update :)

[Velodog2]

Well I can't even download the damned update. Never had this problem before but I keep getting error 3253 after about 210mb of download. Says it's a connectivity problem and something needs to be reset. The download goes to zero at that point and I have to start over, only to get the same result. Tried it at work and at home with the same error.

[The Toddfather]

Just as the last update, lag went away for a day or two then came back. Must be a memory issue?

[fury]

I installed the update and the phone wouldn't boot anymore. http://smilies.xibase.com/tardbang.gif

Here goes another restore. Another 5 hour restore. After the 3 hour software update. And the 2 hour backup. And the 1 hour sync.

I'm taking it to Apple and expecting a refurb. This is ridiculous bull****.

Here goes another restore. Another 5 hour restore. After the 3 hour software update. And the 2 hour backup. And the 1 hour sync.
Damn, that sucks, my backup/sync only takes a couple minutes

[blotto]

my 3g reception has improved since this update, i have a constant 5 bars of 3g reception, i never had that before the update. My text still lags every once in a while, not often though.

All I know is this garbage better be fixed before ATT released the Bold(whenever that might be) Or im going back to the BB, this ridiculous, if i wanted to beta test, I would have applied.

Same here! Mine froze and would not reboot. I went to Apple and they had to wipe everything then reload the software and told me to go home and reboot. When I did, it took forever and then did not load any of my music, movies, etc. Contacts and email went fine. But now it is stuck on the reboot page and will not let me access the synch page??!!

If you've got the Apple logo sitting there, try forcing it into restore mode again by holding the sleep and home buttons until the screen fades and then comes back, then let go of the sleep button until you see it go to the iTunes connection icon. iTunes will come up and tell you you need to restore it. Just let the phone sit there until it drops back to the Apple logo, and wait. That's what I did, and after a long, LONG time of waiting, it eventually did come back up to my home screen, and then I could sync my content back into the device.

[Atlas]

Hmmm. Mine goes to the regular phone screen as if it was done synching but the computers iTunes page stays on the reboot page when my phone is highlighted in the list on the left. If I highlight music, app, movies they are all in iTunes, I just can't get to the page to set the synch preferences.

[fury]

Quit iTunes entirely and restart it?

(the easy way is to reboot your puter, but I know how long that can take sometimes...)

[Atlas]

did that, no change

Honestly I was going to do this and I did it for a little bit...maybe a week after the 2.0 update came out.

I thought I was happy with my JB phone and I didn't want to pay for my apps. I was WRONG!

2.0 is way better than 1.1.4,and 2.0 is lightyears ahead of a JB phone. I have about 20 apps that i use regularly on my phone and I paid for 3 of them, totaling just under $8.

You really have to think of how many more people have these phones now becuase of the cheaper price....more phones, more problems and more complainers on these boards. The only problem I have is text lag. This isn't everytime but every once and a while and its easy to fix.

Same here, other than I really notice nothing at all. It would be nice to see a list of bug fixes.

Why do men in stupid-looking, unfashionable turtlenecks have to hide such information?

[Rockets420]

anyone?Just checked mine...it works fine. I do, however, have trouble with GPS working when I'm using 3G. But otherwise it works fine.

I think 2.0.2 has been the worst update for me yet. 3G doesn't work 99% of the timem even when it does its not nearly as fast as it was before the 2.0.2 update.

I have to hard reset my iPhone at least twice a day now. EXTREMELY annoying and I can barely stand the phone anymore.

Simple tasks such as navigating, and adding a new contact are extremely delayed as much as 6 seconds before it moves to the next screen when before it was instantaniously.

Return the phone and get a replacement.

i'm downloading it now, but from what I can tell, it looks like it just gets your phone ready for the 2.0.3 update.

[adlx21]

2.0.3?? when!?

[FlwrPwer]

2.0.3?? when!?

Only thing I know about is 2.1 coming probably in September. I havent heard anything about a 2.0.3 update.

[justahsquirrel]

ok, so I got a text message to update my phone. So being that I had some time to do so, I did it. Before on 2.0.1 I had shotty 3G service and well, I took the plunge and did the update. Im pleased to report, I have no 3G service on my iphone. Well it has full bars, which I did before, but now EDGE service is way fast than 3G being that 3G does not work at all. even though 3G logo is showing. So now I dont know what to do. I'm not pleased at all. I think I might take a trip to the apple store to replace it, if they will do so.
this sucks

That indicates you are using 3G. Why do you think it is using EDGE when the 3G icon is showing?

Having just bought my iPhone the first part of this week, 2.0.2 is my first software upgrade. In the process of the update iTunes gave an error message and said it would have to close. Well, the iPhone froze, and after getting it and iTunes up again, iTunes said the phone would have to be reset to the factory original settings before it could be sync. Well, to make a long story short I didn't think that 2.0.2 would be loaded into the phone, but it shows that it did take the update. Everything seems to be working great.
This is my first iPhone, and without a doubt it is the best phone I've ever owned.

Oh, and welcome to EIC!

Changes include: visual voicemail now gives you choices on how to listen to vmails (iphone, speaker, bluetooth)

NEW 2.0.2 BUG? Maybe. Ring tone volume resets to half after being set to full. this has happened a bunch of times. On the phone I just had replaced and on the NEW phone I just got. Close sounds,settings and in two minutes ring tome volume is back down to half???

Not a new bug, but a bug none the less. I have had this happen from time to time. Not a constant problem, but more of one that seems to happen in sprits and doesn't last long.
The fix for me is to up the volume thru settings and not the switch on the side of the phone. Go figure? After I do this it will be weeks before it happens again.

[jarambulo]

Can anyone here assist me with upgrading to 2.0? I currently have the 1.1.4 version and wanted to upgrade to 2.0 or better. I'm also using T-Mobile at the moment.


Thank you in advance.
