Important! : iPhone problem

[Aly]

Ok Seriously people who have Blackberrys wishing to get an iPhone
Seriously Seriously Seriously don't get one!

I've got a 32GB 3GS, had it since the 3GS first come out.

Anyway it's developed a new problem, whenever people ring/text me when my phone is silent it doesn't vibrate anymore.

The motor still works (as you swap from loud to silent the phone vibrates)
I've gone into the settings and all is normal, restarted my phone many times and it still doesn't work.

I'm so close to smashing it off the floor, I had a pretty unreliable phone before a Samsung G600, but this is nothing compared to my iPhone.

Grrr!

conect it up to itunes and do a restore

As above, it's obviously a software glitch.

You haven't jailbroken it have you?

No I wouldn't dare think of it lol.
I tried restoring it with iTunes did nothing.

Just turned it onto loud and rang the phone from my landline and the vibrator doesn't work on loud either. Hmm

I'll be honest I've dropped mine a few times. It has a few battle scares.

Nice Pun there Sam

Yeah luckily I took out the insurance.
Well here's all my iPhone problems to date:

- After 1 month it would crash all the time, phoned up O2 who put me through to Apple, said it was an issue with all 3GS and that the new firmware would fix it which it did.
- Camera stopped working, everytime I would load the camera my phone would restart, Apple fixed it for me over the internet.
- Wifi stopped working same fix as the camera.
- Randomly when people phone me the line gets mangled and it sounds like a TV thats not tuned in (the other person hears it too).
- When people phone me sometimes I can't answer the phone and it freezes then restarts.
- If I've been on Safari for more than 10minutes and I return to using my phone it's very sluggish (this could be normal on all iphones)
- When people phone and text me the phone doesn't vibrate but the vibrater still works.

Think people will agree these are all software issues but surely for a phone that costs over £500 new shouldn't have these issues.

When I got the chance to upgrade I really wanted the Samsung Jet, I'm a bit of a Samsung fan a lot of stuff I have is Samsung, my PC monitor is a Samsung Pebble. I wanted the Jet because at the time and still is the fastest smartphone on the market. Everytime I see one I still wish I had one.

At least to make me feel better someone who has a Jet or as used one tell me their shite lol

I think I'll ring O2 tomorrow and see what they say, sure my iPhone is broke.

sounds like you got a faulty one, i have one, and plenty of friends too, all with no problems.

[sshaxx]

had mine well over a year and ive jailbroken it and the only problem i have its that occasionally it wont wake from sleep mode so i have to hard reset it but to be fair this rarely happens and only takes a few mins to reset

Think you've just had bad luck with it tbh

[Yellow_Saxo_Paul]

Got 2 and had no problems, different networks Orange and O2.

Think you've had some bad luck.
