Installed. Not sure what was fixed. I've heard of some signal strength fixes, but I haven't noticed a difference.

Hopefully this release includes a fix to stop fingerprints on the shiny black plastic back.

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.

I'm downloading it now. Hopefully it makes backing up my iPhone faster than it is is now. It takes way too long for it to back up now... |

Updated here. Seems faster overall but still notice glitches here and there. |

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, |

| 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. |

| 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. |

I just updated to 2.0.2 and my battery went from fully charged to less than half charged. |

@verizon.net | I repeat-you take "some" risk with any update, if the phone is perfect avoid it for now. Lets hear about bad phones now working with the update! |

Thanks. Downloading now.
As I said in another thread, Apple's doing updates to correct issues is far faster than Palm (ugh). So far pleased.

updated, no change as far as my 3G problems.
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". |

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. |

I don't really understand why apple do not publish a fix list even a vague one.
They do it for osx changes, Sony do it for ps3 firmware updates.
It is rather arrogant of them to think they can afford to give such easy fuel to their critics. |
