Well since upgrading to 2.01 I’m running into more bugs than I was with 2.0. itunes was acting flakey with sometimes showing the wrong audio piece that was playing. The performance of the phone in general went down with animation being more jerky. I also had one time where I couldn’t dial out though I admit it might have been at&t…never had that problem with any phone before though. I did a restore of 2.01 and the performance has been much better since then and have yet to see any of the flakey stuff yet…it took a few days to see the issues the first time though.

Not a single employee anywhere at Apple can come up with any way to
send “just the patches” instead of “just replace the entire OS, instead”???

Wow.

I have a 2g iPhone and upgraded using pwnage tool for Mac i did not notice any issue until I started loading the phone full os legit app store apps I found the biggest issue was if an app was installing when a txt message came in the whole whole phone would freeze if I powered it off then turned it back on it would stay at the apple boot logo for hours and housrs and the phone would get real warm

the only fix would be to put it into DFU mode and restore the unit from scratch

found if you delete all your back ups from iTunes then restore and when promted set up as a new Iphone it works better but still not perfect anyone with a 1st gen pwned unlocked and activated iphone try and load the new 2.0.1 firmware yet? any results of it staying unlocked and activated?

This seems to fix the one feature my iPhone was missing, a working phone. I can actually make and recieve phone calls now! (For the past week, wether someone called my mobile or I called them, the call would drop within 30 seconds.) I hope this stays this way…

I’m an 02 customer in the UK and the 2.0.1 update seems to have crippled the GPS locate feature. Takes significantly longer to find me, and when it does, it’s still not as accurate as was before the update. Anyone else having problems with the GPS?

Honza, I’m not sure that Apple’s quality is any different than it always has been…it’s arguable though. The reason I say that is because Apple is shipping items in higher quantity than ever before in just about all of their hardware product lines. In the past Apple has had some quality issues but the numbers were much smaller due to a smaller market and not to mention that Apple is more in the spotlight now than in the past.

Anyways the update seems to have come down in a timely manner late last night and installed without issue. Now for the real test…using it.

Basically my 2G phone turned to s**t when I went from zippy 1.1.4 to oh so sluggish 2.0. I have experienced many crashes, not just apps, but complete phone reboots (on 1.1.4 I never saw the phone reboot). I was actually in 2 minds whether to go back to 1.1.4 or wait for 2.0.x, and if this update doesn’t fix the crashes and reboots, and the annoying what feels like 10 seconds wait to start the camera, or the contacts app, then I will downgrade or sell this thing. Is it just the iPhone or has Apple quality taken a dive across the whole product line recently?
