I don’t know about you guys, but I am having quite a few issues with firmware 2.0. The App Store seems to crash one in every five times I use it (if not more), my iPhone locks up almost every time I get a text message pop-up while in a program, my iPhone randomly restarts and App Store apps constantly crash while using them. I do not seem to be the only one having these issues. Here at Apple iPhone School we have three iPhones and one iPod Touch on firmware 2.0 (the rest are still on jailbroke 1.1.4) and they are all having problems. Let me know in the comments what your experience with the 2.0 firmware as been like.

Brooke reply on July 13, 2008:
Yeah, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that we do a lot of stuff on our iPhones…they get a workout!
Andre reply on July 13, 2008:
yes. but then i only have 5 apps?
no music or videos and its the new 3g one.
and it still crashes all apps and restarts.
thermoman reply on July 13, 2008:
I’ve noticed that to with apps slowing and overall performance. I think apple rushed things.
danny reply on July 14, 2008:
yeah me too
SeijinZero reply on July 14, 2008:
Kinda funny that a jailbroken installer apps work better than official big budget Apple ones.

woah i seem to be not the only one with the same problems.
lets see i downloaded aquaforest, myspace app, aim, and 2 other apps. and guess wat after my iphone gets synced or restarted no matter waht app i open it crashes before it fully opens. id say 2.0=FAILboat.
[Reply]
July 13th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
apple will probably be aware of this iisue, if so many people are cmomplaining, and you guys should see an update to firmware 2.0, soon(within the next couple of days

Andre reply on July 13, 2008:
hopefully we will. so far apple is turning into a poopstain
July 13th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
My phone seemed to be running slow after the 2.0 update. I did the update through iTunes and then restored all the settings. The settings were from my 1.1.4 jailbreak. I ended up doing another restore and this time setting it up like a ‘new’ phone and it seems to be running a little smoother, or at least faster. Don’t know if the clean restore helped but it seems like it did something.
[Reply]
Brooke reply on July 13, 2008:
Doug actually ended up restoring his new iPhone 3G…he didn’t even try to hack it or anything. But, it was being really buggy so he restored 2.0 with iTunes.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
yes!!!! my ipod touch is doing the same things! I will try to open a program and it will reboot and take like 5 minutes to restart!
they need an update already
[Reply]
July 13th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I was having the same issues with my 3g phone. Apparently all iPhones shipped with an older version of the 2.0 software (5A345), even though there is now a newer version of the 2.0 software available (5A347).
I was having huge issues with sluggish UI, bizzare video playback, software crashes. All seems well now that I have the newer version.
You’ll have to attach the phone to iTunes, then do a restore. Once it backs up your data, allow iTunes to restore the phone. This will NOT work by using the update feature in iTunes, it has to be a full restore.
[Reply]
Pyri reply on July 14, 2008:
This is exactly what you need to do, everyone should take this as the best solution. 5A347 is definatly more stable than 5A345.
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
I think they are both buggy. Brooke new iPhone 3G is on 5A345 and crashed, probably more than my 3G. My 3G is on 5A347 but still crashed, especially when an 3rd party app is open and I get a text message pop up. One of our 1st gen iPhones is on 5A347 and it’s very stable. Also has way more apps installed than our iPhone 3Gs.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
is apple losing its touch (no pun intended), or just a string of bad luck?

Liar! That pun was TOTALLY intended. Love it.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
If I get a text message pop up while in app, and press reply, the typing in the SMS app is very slow and buggy until I exit and reopen it. Typing overall is very buggy on the new software.
[Reply]
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
I agree. Typing is very slow for me too. I request a processor speed bump!
July 13th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
weird, I’m not having this problem at all. I have a 16GB 3G and a 8GB 1st Gen. and I have over 6 gigs of data on both, plus about 40 App Store apps on both and everything works completely fine. My iPhone does freeze up every now and then and does reboot randomly every 5 apps I download, but nothing crucial.
[Reply]
RigorMortiz reply on July 13, 2008:
Same here. I notice a little bit of diminished stability vs. 1.1.4 but no where near as bad as users here are reporting. My gf’s 8GB 1st gen and my 16GB 3G both work okay. FWIW, she did a complete restore. (my 4GB 1st gen worked acceptably as well)
The biggest issue I’ve had is wrong position reported when on WIFI at home, and strange behavior when removing apps via iTunes. If I hit sync immediately after deleting them (form within iTunes) it works well, though.
Andres reply on July 14, 2008:
Same here. So far have only had one reboot and have been using the phone a lot. It’s not too far off from 1.1.4 for me.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I’ve been waiting to hear your experiences — I’d be lost with some of my jailbroken-only apps, so I’m in no rush that’s for sure. Too bad for Apple, this launch seems to be riddled with problem after problem. I’m kinda surprised, actually. Hang tough - we’ll get there…!

I am also getting some random reboots and the app store seems to crash a lot. Also apps downloaded from the app store crash one out of every three times it seems and always freeze up.

i have had a few random reboots its pretty annoying but hopefully they will fix this soon
[Reply]
July 13th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I take it with 2,0 and the App Store, that Apple have made it so you can have more pages of apps without crashing to the point of a restore, wasn’t there a 60 to 80 limit before a big crash and restore with 1.1.4, plus is there anything like Catagories in the App Store so we don’t have to have pages of stuff ?
[Reply]
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
I haven’t figured this out yet, but it’s on my list to push it to the limit so we can see what the limit is… We’ll write about it once we know.
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
While attempting this I also tried to install more than one app at a tiime. You’re asking for trouble when doing this
two were installing and trying a third bogged stuff down pretty bad. I don’t expect this to be a feature, allowing more than one to download at a time, I’d rather it not allow it so it doesn’t crash.
Kane2007uk reply on July 14, 2008:
Thanks for the reply, sounds like you guys are really putting 2.0 through it’s paces, good luck
July 13th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
It’s been running smoothly for me. I noticed just 2 things: google maps lags while trying to input text in search, also one app didn’t fully install so it caused all the other apps to crash when trying to open them. I solved this by deleting the app in question and re-installing it.
[Reply]
July 13th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
yeah, mine has randomly restarted once and a few apps have frozen. Plus when I try to sync with my computer iTunes will say it’s backing up but it will be extremely slow.
[Reply]
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
This process is extremely slow if you have a lot of apps. Once it does it the first time it gets better from there.
Treadeater reply on July 14, 2008:
ok. Thanks for the advice Doug. Btw, love the site. Definitely the best iPhone site out there. Keep up the good work.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
yea, mine’s buggy too.
The most annoying part is that whenever I run an app, it seems to mess with my volume settings.

I had the same problem with several apps, but one in particular, ICE, crashed continuously. I wrote the author, and this is his reply:
There appears to be an issue with either the iPhone OS or iTunes or some combination of both that for some reason causes the problem that you mentioned. This issue is not limited to ICE, but appears to affect pretty much any third party application, but it’s totally random. Many developers as well as Apple personnel have been working this weekend to try to figure out what is going on.
Now that we have the background information out of the way, let’s move on to resolving the problem!
1. Make sure your iPhone is synced with your copy of iTunes.
2. Remove an application from the iPhone. It doesn’t appear to matter which application you remove, but since ICE is fairly small and you’re experiencing issues using it, go ahead and remove it.
3. Once the application is removed, completely power down your iPhone.
4. Wait a moment.
5. Power your iPhone back up.
6. Reconnect to iTunes.
7. Add the application (ICE in this case) back to the iPhone.
I did this, and it seems much more stable.

Random Restarts.
Freezing During Application Syncing.
Apps Crashing.
Random Freezes
and this happened once:
i locked my ipod touch and than after a few minutes i wanted to
play with it again and it wouldnt unlock it just stayed
with the blanc screen.
and i had to connect to the computer to unlock it.
tons of bugs >_>
[Reply]
Brooke reply on July 13, 2008:
That sooooo happened to me too!!! I had to plug my iPhone 3G into my computer to get to the lock screen to come up…I thought it was broken! Then, it fixed itself. I had forgotten about that!
rob reply on July 13, 2008:
That actually happens to my jail broken 1.1.4. Not often and if I give it a minute it comes back to its senses but it’s very obnoxious.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Typical Apple fashion for those of you who don’t know. Apple’s customers are always the beta testers for their products, don’t expect a decent version for at least a few months if were lucky.

I noticed that the 2.0 firmware was unstable right off the bat. the app store has locked up at least four times on me and at least one app (TTR) completely crashed the phone :-/. Originally i had the train of thought that it was because of my previous jailbreaks but seeing this post changed my mind.

yeah, the 2.0 software seems to be unstable. I have had similar issues to what you have been experiencing doug. Hopefully Apple will address the issues.
[Reply]
July 14th, 2008 at 12:11 am
actually guys, i havent had any trouble with these things happening, i have a first gen iPhone with 2.0 software and mine hasnt crashed or nothing. So i guess im just lucky.
[Reply]
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
I agree on this, our first gen iPhone that is upgraded to 2.0 is much more stable. I wonder if some of the different hardware in the iPhone 3G is causing problems…
Andrew reply on July 15, 2008:
I had the same issues with my phone, I restored it 3 times, on the fourth try I turned the 3g off (when not using data), since then I have had NO issues. I think when apple was designing these new phones, they were only thinking about the 199.00 and 299.00 factors (1 million phones later), all the networks that they launched with had 3g available, so its not the issue of the network. Apple needs to do some larger testing of their phones in markets like chicago, new york , los angels , and mexico.To see if their 2.0 can handle the speed of the customer and the speeds of the networks. BTW, I traded in my 16g that I bought on sunday(which the told was the last iphone available) , I went back today with my lock up issues, they had plenty of phones for software issues, I think apple planned for this to happen, They just needed the revenue push on their stock.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:13 am
yeah, every time use myspace or something, it crasshes and restarts
[Reply]
July 14th, 2008 at 12:20 am
YUP!! I have been looking around online to see if anyone has had similar problems and this is the first site to mention it. I compared my 3G iphone to my other 2G iphone and it seems to be slower. The apps and settings start a lot faster on 1.1.4. App are constantly crashing and some wont start. I find myself having to restart my phone more than before. Apple come on!! were is 2.0.1?????? LOL
[Reply]
July 14th, 2008 at 12:21 am
We are running Firmware 2.0(5A347) and the only crashes are from new apps, like “where” and “Google”. Kind of expected that myself; the new OS seems stable enough for us. No errors on phone, ipod, sms, mail, maps, notes, contacts, photos, clock, weather, stocks and settings so far for us.
[Reply]
July 14th, 2008 at 12:22 am
for me the app store crashes every time i’m loading an app while being in the store. sometimes all my apps are crashing on the loading screen. then i have to wait sometime to use them again. ihope there will be an update soon.
p.s. i’ve got a question: why doesn’t the landscape homescreen work? or is it just on iphone 3g?
[Reply]
Kane2007uk reply on July 14, 2008:
Did Apple add that??? the only info I’ve seen on that was in an iPhone 2 concept vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d6m3XNDKCk
Braden reply on July 14, 2008:
Uhh, there is no landscape home screen. Not on the iPhone 3G, not on the originals.
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
Braden is correct. That video is from a contest someone ran. It was to show what ideas you had for the new iPhone.
Kane2007uk reply on July 14, 2008:
I know that, you only have to look at the comments acompanying the vid, my point was to show grafagoggel that, but I wasn’t 100% sure that Apple hadn’t implimented that idea in 2.0

Hey Doug or Brooke, can you please help me out….I was wondering if you guys know how to customize the calendar with different colors. I saw it all over the 2.0 upgrade page in Apple.com but Im not sure how to do it. I am currently on 2.0 firmware and I do not have the 3g iphone. Thanx for your time and hope to hear from you soon……
[Reply]
Aussiephone reply on July 14, 2008:
The colours reflect what categories you have setup on your computers calendar, iCal (Apple) or Calendar in windowz , eg; Personal, Business, Birthdays etc. I’m not sure you can edit them on the iPhone.
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
As far as I know, you’re right, can’t control this from the iPhone. It’s just to separate the different calendars you have synced.

my biggest complaint is that every time i plug my iphone into my lap top it starts backing up and ive never finished it, but it seems like it would take about 4 hours.
i have probably over 50 apps installed, they run smooth for a while, but what it seems like every time i open one it actually somehow either stays open in the background or something. Therefore after opening maybe 15 apps or so they open then crash….
…so i reboot which takes probly 2 minutes and everything seems perfect again but not forever.
also, it seems like the more apps i open the slower my edge connection gets going.
oh and my push yahoo account aint pushin as much as it used to.
so in conclusion, steves little at the wwdc said apps dont run in the background, but it seems like they do. i dunno.
[Reply]
Douglas reply on July 14, 2008:
Do a sync over night and let it back up completely. Then then next time it will go much faster. I notice that my pics, music and video weren’t syncing and that’s why I restored. It was just actually taking FOREVER to backup and hadn’t gotten to the pics and stuff yet.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:43 am
My yahoo account won’t refresh. It’s been “checking for mail” for about 3 days now and I never recieve any email. I have to log onto the computer to see my email. I’ve played with the settings and turned the phone off and back on and it still says checking for mail.

This is common, it’s backing up all your apps and settings from all the programs. First time takes a while. Let it run one night when you go to bed and it won’t take as long in the future.

to DOWNGRADE
1rst download 1.1.4 fw, then download itunes 7.5 and uninstall your itunes install this one.
2nd put iphone in recovery and restore with shift or control depends on your os…
3rd downgrade the baseband with ziphone
You are on 1.1.4 again!!!!
Good luck

July 14th, 2008 at 6:14 am
I too have found the OS to be unstable…
But what’s really bugging me is all this business about 3rd party hardware no-longer charging the iPhone. I have a really nice speaker system with dock that I used on my 1st Gen iPhone. When I got my iPhone 3G home, before activating it, I popped it into the dock on my speakers to give it a charge, and guess what - it charged perfectly…
But now, since I installed everything and activated it - it says the unit cannot charge the iPhone…
What’s irritating is that the hardware physically CAN charge the iPhone, but apple’s firmware has decided that it WON’T permit it.
Maybe they’ll relent on this in a later update…
It’s proving quite difficult to remain an Apple fanboy…

I had one full system crash using the AppStore (first day). Then I relalized some applications crashing.
Then I decided not to restore from backup. I restored the 2.0 firmware first and did not use any former update. since then things are perfect.
Probably some of the crashes are due to a restore form jailbroken 1.1.4 phones. I had mine heavily modified. Since I did the clean 2.0 install no more problems

Dude…most people are talking about their new 3G phone they got from the store….
I am on Tmobile. I have no interest in the 3G phone. Besides I think it will be $99 by christmas.

Wow all the problems.. you stood in line and forked over big $$ for all these problems? Another reason why I didn’t and will wait for the hackers to get me int 2.0 and the best of both worlds. Come back to 1.1.4 and stability, at least for now. I’d be pissed if I had a 3G too.

Agred. 2.0 does seem to have some problem. Mine gets hung up a lot and then just restarts or i have to restart myslef. Sucks but hopefully they will fix it.

I have the 16 gig 3g iPhone in white and I’m haveing the problem that every once in awhile my phone does the hard respring to the lock screen. I also found that if your phone seems slow go into maps and see if it is trying to find you. Mine was so I turned off location services in the general settings menu. Since then my phone seems to be acting normal. So you might want to give that a shot. Also I had the first gen iPhone and for some reason I think that the new iPhone or maybe it’s the software makes it harder to type on anyone having the same problem?

Hey Brooke. Did you get this problem from the starting or after using the firmware for some time and installing apps. Because I am going to upgrade and cant afford crashes. Will be using my Exchange account for corporate work. Also let me know how many apps you have.
Thanks.
Apple has also said that 2.0.1 firmware will be having some security fixes, so hope that solves the problems…

I’m shocked that so many of you updated to 2.0 .
Why would you not wait? with the history behind firmware updates , why are you all acting surprised? come on people if you aren’t botching about one thing then its another. if you thought this first release was going to be smooth , then you deserve a messed up iPhone . Stay with what works and let the devs fix the bugs. Its why we all depend on them.

My advice is, Do Not Update yet. Wait for unlocking sofware to be available incase you run into problems.

yea my 2.0 ipod touch reboots so many times at random.

I’ve noticed 2.0 is a crash magnet. I updated my iphone classic to 2.0 on Thursday and had loaded about 80 free apps without it being to bad. Now with the new 3G everything seems slow and I get crashes on installed apps as well as even iphone’s original apps.
On a side note, I figured out how to stop that horrible backup process. If you turn off the automatic sync in itunes, and just do manual sync’s it skips right over the backup process.

Did you activite? or you try down grade to 1.1.4….or use it as door stop (just kidding)…
July 14th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
You have to reboot your ipod every time you sync it to itunes. Its kind of like when you download something in installer how it automatically rebutes, well it doesnt do that with itunes

I’m getting frequent crashes when clicking on apps. My iphone shuts down and can’t be restored unless I go into the file system with a third party app first and delete all data. I’ve had to restore it this way many, many times. (First generation iphone)

The same. My phone freezes consistently through the day either when I’m on a call or off a call. Recently, my Edge network has stopped responding.

This new firmware is two faced. I like the appstore and some of the new small features like holding .com to bring up new choices (.net .org…) However it is terribly slow. Its ridiculous, i try to show off new apps and they just crash and the phone reboots. When i type in SMS the response is at some times incredibly lagged. Also, if i get a new voice mail it takes almost 30 - 45 seconds for me to be able to pull up the voicemail tab. They need to update quickly.
