| Well, i had to make a call and it dropped immediately after the other person (landline) picked up. First dropped call ever, as I didn't have any issues of this nature before. This will suck if all of a sudden it starts happening. I called right back and it was fine. Not sure if it could be weather related but we had a severe thunderstorm roll thru here about the same time.
Anyway, I dont know if it was in EDGE or 3G, as the iPhone just covers up that information when you are connected to WiFi.

| Well, my contacts app/list is much faster than it was before. Haven't made any calls yet, but typically the first 2-3 times I tried making a call on 2.0.1 it would just say call failed immediately. I'd have to keep retrying until it would work.

| Since it seems to be a hardware problem, probably with the connection between the antanee and amplifier (in some phones) software updates will not help in the worst cases,there is a risk in any update that perfectly working phones may now have some problems.
Just another excuse for Apple not to replace the badly working phones, maybe blame it on AT&T too, and they are willing to sacrifice some perfect phones too.
The more confused the situation-the less phones they have to take back! You only have to look at the situation worldwide to realize that although AT&T offers a lousy 3G on one band only, some of the phones are not working in many other countries, | |

| Re: [iPhone] 2.0.2 firmware is OUT, Please post outcome There isn't any evidence it is a signal path problem, the most informed guesses say it may be an issues with the infineon chip and how they decide to move off 3g due to cell congestion (perceived by the chip). Until apple confirm things either way or a lot of time passes there is no reason to give up on the idea a firmware fix can be found. | |

| Re: [iPhone] 2.0.2 firmware is OUT, Please post outcome the latest "guess" is that the chip is fine, also I am postive Apple throughly tested it but they could not stand over the shoulder of every Chinese worker watching exactly how they put each phone together in a very sensitive area of manufacturing.
I doubt anyone can even estimate of number of phones in each level of workmanship from perfect to very poor. You would think that "quality control" would spot any problem BEFORE they hit the market, thats why I maintained (before the phone was released) that Apple rushed to get this phone out with all the extreme competition to deal with.
Count your good luck if you have no problems and probabily wait on any updates. | |

You know what would be a really crazy idea?
If Apple first acknowledged the problem and then let us know if this is the update we are waiting for. We dont even know if this is the supposed "fix". | |

| Re: [iPhone] 2.0.2 firmware is OUT, Please post outcome Apple knows exactly what the problem is but cannot estimate how many bad phones they would have to replace, so for now they are not admitting anything "major" is wrong since all phones work to varying extents this may be the way it stays with this model.
If it was say 1 batch from 1 factory,worker they could narrow it down but since its worldwide its a flaw in the manufacturing process, either design or worker related. | |

They do it for osx changes, Sony do it for ps3 firmware updates.

| Re: [iPhone] 2.0.2 firmware is OUT, Please post outcome What if only 10% of the phones worked "perfectly" but all of them work to some extent? What if rough handling could cause even the perfect ones to start working poorly?
Much better for Apple to admit some phones could be working better and issue a "software fix' maybe 2 or 3 although they will never claim these "fixes" address the real problem. Keep the situation totally confused and it will go away and they will release another model which people will probably still line up for!
This is not uncommon for any manufacturing company including my own. The likely-hood of this increases greatly with extreme competition. | |

try to return it then file a claim with your card company
2- sue Apple (and AT&T to negate your contract) in small claims court for making false claims
3 wait for the next model PLUS 1 month | |

Atlantic Beach, FL | The update went without a hitch. Though I had a slight scare when my eyeTV quit working. I was afraid I maxed out the USB ports and locked, not only the EyeTV, but the iPhone. In the future I'll make sure I'm using the bare minimum of USB ports. | |

| Notes on the release follow:
No new settings appear to have been included.
Some users report faster browsing, though this may be due to cleared cache.
Typing lag may be reduced.
Apps don't require updates; NetShare still works.
Transition from music list to Coverflow has changed. | |

Before update...
-When looking at the artist list and rotating the phone, there would be a 'lag' and then the screen would rotate into cover flow with more lag
After update
-Turning the screen causes a much faster fade-out/fade-in with no lag (into cover flow).

One little tiny step, but a nice improvment! | |
