Hello friends,
I ordered the iPhone 3G to replace my Palm Treo 755p that I have on Verizon. I have been very happy with Verizon, but not the 755p upgrade from my old 700p.
Anyway, on the 17th I completed a fulfillment order at an AT&T store for an iPhone 3G 16GB in black. It should be here on Wednesday. Excited about my new 3G and saving money by bundling by home, DSL and my new cell service, I went online Friday to see how people are taking to their new phones.
I was shocked to find out that so many people are having problems with the 3G reception and battery performance. I have been reading posts for 2 days now, hoping someone has some answers to the problem and if it will be fixed soon. If this is going to be a problem, I will stay with Verizon and swap out another Palm 755p and cancel my iPhone order until this issue is resolved. I don't want it if its not going to deliver what it was designed to do.
In all of the reading I've done, one trend keeps surfacing that seems to make a dramatic improvement in reception and battery life. Some have reported a possible issue of the battery management software not being properly initiated, by not going through a specific power cycle and charging cycle. Some others have reported starting over with a clean slate and reloading everything back on the iPhone also helps. This seems to improve the handover between 3G and EDGE also.
I'm sure something may be screwed up in how the phone software is initiated before its first use. I would love to hear more about what people are discovering.
Anyone pick up a new 3G since Friday the 18th have any 3G reception problems?
