- Sethwm2, on 07/19/2008, -3/+169Thank you!! I thought I was just going crazy!! I was looking on google to see if anyone was having lag and I could not find anything. I have issues with SMS typing REALLY SLOW, sometimes apps refuse to open or just crash, the wireless is really picky, and contacts and the overall speed of the phone has gone down hill... I would agree with a memory leak somewhere. The issues come and go. Also... I don't know if anyone else noticed occasional kernel panics and reboots...
- wontstoptalking, on 07/19/2008, -6/+88Dugg because I can use this as an excuse to not buy the iPhone, which I can't afford. Even though it's not a very good excuse. And I still really want it. And I'm sure I can afford it if-no! I can't afford it, stop it, stop it!!!!
- DeFex, on 07/20/2008, -8/+89awww poor bmw drivers.
- username7410, on 07/19/2008, -12/+66My first gen iPhone is allowing me to see though solid matter after updating to 2.0!!!
- wontstoptalking, on 07/19/2008, -5/+55My first gen iPhone is allowing me to see through the scam that is the monthly plan of the iPhone 3g.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -3/+48Apple is perfect. *cover both ears*
la la la la LA LA LA LA LA LA LA - CobaltBlue, on 07/20/2008, -2/+46So apple does the whole beta test with a live, very expensive product?
- CobaltBlue, on 07/20/2008, -14/+56It's apple, so those aren't problems, those are just better ways to do things.
- sovietninja, on 07/20/2008, -3/+41Wait you mean SP1 right?
- blurrie, on 07/20/2008, -3/+392.0 is to laggy. bring on 2.0.1 please. typing comes to a freaking halt.
- energyblue, on 07/19/2008, -0/+35Two reboots today alone.
- travis6690, on 07/20/2008, -8/+37Funniest thing is? If this was a M$ related article you'd be kicking the ***** out of it.
- rkzda, on 07/20/2008, -3/+32Poor Alex Albrecht...
- spudmanster, on 07/20/2008, -3/+31I have purchased about 10 apps so far. And the majority of them are utter *****. The free ones are even worse. It is like, here comes the Iphone 3G train, quick, lets grab a "how to develop for xx for dummies" and get on board.
And you cant even try out demos. This is *****. And Apple needs to ***** sort it pronto. - tacotruck08, on 07/19/2008, -11/+37Dude. The apps and everything else on the iphone are 1.0 programs. Wait till iphone 2.1 or 2.2 to get all the kinks smoothed out. And wait for the developers to release stage 1.1 of their apps.
- sovietninja, on 07/20/2008, -7/+31Try running it in Safe Mode? Maybe you got spyware... /Geek Squad
- wtfheadexplody, on 07/20/2008, -12/+35I think I just heard the cries of a thousand Apple fanboys who can't put a spin on all these bugs to justify them as being intentional features.
- renegadeafk, on 07/20/2008, -0/+22Uhh people don't pay for windows service packs either...
- andreo, on 07/20/2008, -1/+23Better excuse then mine. I was going to buy one on Friday but I was on a date and just walking around the mall killing time before Dark Knight started. We walk into the Apple store and I notice there's no sign saying they are out of stock. The GF says I should ask someone if they have them in which it turns out they did. But there was a line (4 people). There was also only 20 minutes before the movie started.
She tells me that I should go for it. I think it over and decide that it would be pretty f'ked up to walk into the movie late because I waited in line for the phone. She says it's no big deal, she'll wait with me.
The movie was great. She surprises me by saying "so that's how two face was born" and explains later that she grew up watching batman cartoons.
I didn't get the phone. But I think the GF is a keeper... - My571k, on 07/20/2008, -2/+24Crashing every few hours from opening third party apps. :(
- energyblue, on 07/19/2008, -0/+20Good luck. Remain Strong.
- Kazaki, on 07/20/2008, -0/+19This is true. I was working on someone else's iPhone earlier on with 1.0.2, and the whole thing was moving like a dream. It was as smooth as the commercials, and after using 2.0 for so long it actually came as a surprise.
Which is depressing. I find myself tapping on contacts in my iPhone like 5 times before it registers now. - waydee, on 07/20/2008, -3/+21It just works.
- BOFH2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+18clean off the 3rd party apps and see if that fixes some of the problems.
- CobaltBlue, on 07/20/2008, -4/+20I think that vista really sucks, but you aren't paying $100 a month to use it.
- Gimpyfuzznut, on 07/20/2008, -0/+15I have the same problem with SMS messaging lagging big time. I can't seem to replicate the problem as it seems to happen randomly. I think clearing out message history helps a little bit. Contacts also load up pretty slow.
- SSUK, on 07/20/2008, -0/+15Slow typing is actually a hidden The Matrix feature within the phone!
- thefinger, on 07/20/2008, -2/+17Apple: Double Standards Are Us
- NatsuMatto, on 07/20/2008, -0/+13Funniest thing about this article? When I went to the page, there was a Google ad for Blackberries :)
- aloyeo, on 07/20/2008, -2/+15WTF you mean :)
- MalDON, on 07/20/2008, -0/+12Demos would be great. I regret the 10 dollars on super monkey ball. The controls are way too hard.
- bsonline, on 07/20/2008, -2/+13I'm a little confused by your comment, let me try to clarify...
The official apps that were developed and tested for the last 6 months are designed for the phone released 1 year ago, when no 3rd party apps were going to be created? 1.0...?
My toolchain apps worked really well on 1.1.4. I do, however, find the app store speed to be a bit better. But you are telling me that nothing at all would could ever be good on 2.0, because the platform is immature?
I'm going to go ahead and catch my own error. You meant the programs are the first edition of each, the developers just aren't ready. That is what you meant by 1.0 programs. So, to you, 1.0 is really beta?
But when apple updates to 2.1. or 2.2, and the developers update their apps, everything will be better? I'm guessing you haven't heard that many devs are ready to walk because of the sheer lack of communication from Apple.
I _still_ love my 1st gen iphone on 2.0. But it wears me thin hearing "Oh, wait for Apple to update." Apple dropped the ball and that's that. It happens. I just hope their current trend doesn't continue, because it really is starting to look like they can't handle their own market. - mark076h, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11i live in a wooded area and i find the GPS to not work very good, or it takes forever to acquire the signals but if i go out where there is not alot of trees i find it works very good, i know it's the iPhone because i would never have trouble getting a good signal with my garmin gps unit.
Also i keep getting the problem where you need to restart the phone to get gps or triangulation to work at all, i read that there is a bug if you use a 3rd party app that uses location services it will not let go of it and you need to restart the phone if you want another application or the map to get a location.
I am hoping this is all software problems and a patch will fix it, even being inside if you have alot of windows you should still get a good gps signal. - Murdats, on 07/20/2008, -2/+13but this isnt the first version, this is version 2, which is meant to improve on the first version, not screw it up completely.
- TehDoctor, on 07/20/2008, -4/+15Ok, I'm sick of people shouting "memory leak" every time something runs slow. If you are not in Computer Science then shut up. Firefox did hot have a grave memory leak. It suffered from fragmentation and an overzealous and stupid cache. The iPhone does not have a memory leak. Every time you close an application, its memory is deallocated by the system. Maybe there are leaks while running an app, but it would be no different if the application needed all that memory until it quit. And as soon as you hit the home button, the leaks are over with, as no apps are allowed to run in the background.
The real issue here is clockspeed and perhaps a cramped amount of RAM (it has 128MB, IIRC). If anyone ran a lot of apps before now through the jailbreak, they could tell you it made the thing slow. No *****. Even Apple knew the machine would run slower when they passed out the 1.1.* updates. The iPhones have an ARM processor that's underclocked from ~650MHz to ~400MHz to save battery life, and some of Apple's updates have raised the clock speed a few Hz to offset the performance penalty of *doing* more.
I can't say anything about wifi or connection lag, but as far as things running slow, well, the moment you add shoddy coders and million stupid applications like the oh-so-awesome "Super Monkey Balls," written by moronic coders who are used to having Java clean up after them and you're going to have apps that run like garbage. - downwiththeking, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11No.
- fender06, on 07/20/2008, -4/+15Whilst realizing the article references the iPhone, my iPod touch has ran fine with 2.0
- se1zure, on 07/20/2008, -3/+13HAHA ***** HILARIOUS
- mrsteveman1, on 07/20/2008, -2/+12No, it's apple, and they ***** it up. Simple.
They ***** things up all the time and don't fix them, my aluminum keyboard still doesn't work before an OS boots, and thats almost a year old keyboard and they've known about it for about that long. - CountBrass, on 07/20/2008, -1/+11It's not just 3rd party apps that are liable to crash. Mobile Safari on the iPhone 3G crashes on average, for me, once every 10 minutes. It seems to crash more in areas with a poor or changing signal. Pretty craptastic for one of the core apps on the iPhone.
- ronaldmonster, on 07/20/2008, -5/+14Don't defend Apple, face it THEY ***** UP!
- Virgule, on 07/20/2008, -0/+9::high five::
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+9It took 4 posts for the Apple Apologist to come out, Apple fan boys: You are Slacking!
- hotsoda, on 07/20/2008, -1/+9The only problems I have with the phone is the tremendously long backup times (which iTunes insists on performing EVERY time you connect the phone), and the contact app taking a long time to load.
It sounds like the problems are widespread, but completely random, so a memory leak is likely the case. - iericg, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8The 3G is the first iphone I've owned so I can't compare with the previous one.
I'm also having the same problems mentioned on this thread. The one that bugs me the most the accessing my contacts.
It's kind of sad but I found access my contact list much faster with the Google App than actually opening up "Contacts" - diabulos, on 07/20/2008, -4/+12Actually, Vista did not mainly crash (far fewer crashes that with XP I'll dare say) it lacked drivers mainly. I give you that the moving of files was slow, but not to the point of switching out of the process, as the Iphone does now, going back to the home screen and not letting any app run from then on until you restart the thing. It does give a glimpse that if Apple gets more market share they will have to revise their strategy, it is easy to give quality for a limited set of options, as soon as they grow and you get millions getting to it, then, it is not really there (need we mention the server crashes on launch day?) it also shows that MS does a very decent job keeping stability given the myriad of configs in which their software is installed....
- ahawks, on 07/20/2008, -4/+12Well ... surprise everyone, Apple products are real hardware and software man-made creations. The 3rd party apps are obviously going to be buggy. They are on a new framework, written by developers new to the platform, who couldn't actually deploy to the device until very recently other than a simulator.
It'll get better, but it's no surprise there are some issues for now. - bjornski, on 07/20/2008, -2/+10Did you click on a link that said iPhone just to complain?
Are you not smart enough to NOT click something that doesn't interest you? - moniker, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Yes, thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Whenever I pull up my Contacts it takes forever for the app to recognize my scrolling or tapping gestures. It basically just freezes for five seconds before I can interact with the app at all. Very frustrating.
- Gimpyfuzznut, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Actually considering how Vista needs to support millions of devices and billions of possible configurations, this is actually worse than Vista.
