skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 My phone has been "sticking" in standby mode requiring a re-boot several times since upgrading to 3.1 yesterday. This is apparently a widespread issue. If you haven't updated, you may want to wait until the next revision is out. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2152619&start=0&tstart=0 Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Interesting. Jamie's 3G is doing this (I thought it was operator error. Sorry honey!). My 3Gs is fine. Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 OK, what did Tom and Jamie do wrong? I'm a tech moron and mine works fine after the update. Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 This morning I used the "restore" feature in iTunes to essentially reinstall the phone's OS. I believe that this process formats the phone's memory to a blank slate before starting. Once it's done you can put all your contacts and stuff back on from the backup feature, but everything else is gone. So if there's pictures you want to save on the phone, get them off of there. So far so good. I'm wondering if this is some sort of result from fragmented memory. I have been known to test an app or two then delete 'em. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Operator error my hiney! Guess where hubbers is sleepin tonight! Just kidding, this is good to know it's not just me! Link to comment
BFish Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 before you do a software update might want to do a complete sync so as all the latest iphone data is stored. i had the same issue, reset then resynched. after that the new software installed flawlessly for some reason and no prob since. didn't lose anything.

bakerzdosen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I waited until yesterday to do the update (apparently it was necessary to do the carrier update to get MMS.) I haven't had any problems so far, and no one at work has had any problems. Time will tell though I suppose... Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Did it again today, once. Perhaps it's a problem with one of the apps not closing all the way before putting the phone to sleep... Link to comment
Gregori Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The other issue with 3.1 is that it breaks the tethering profile. Using the iPhone as a cellular modem for my PowerBook MacBook Pro is pretty nice when you've got 3G speeds... So until I find a way (aside from extortionate AT&T surcharges) to retain/regain tethering with 3.1 (or later) I'm done with the iPhone OS updates... Link to comment
