Just an FYI to iPhone 4 owners. FaceTime now replaces the old Hold button, but it's not gone. Since Hold is just a two-way Mute, it's now located on the Mute button and activated by holding it down for a couple seconds.
Let's see. 230 posts on the thread covering this topic.
That probably breaks down as:
- The original poster who had a problem
- 17 trolls who immediately said that they have the same problem and Apple needs to fix it immediately, even though they don't even own iPhones
- 47 people saying "I don't have a problem"
- The original poster responding to all 47 of the above saying "well, I do"
- 30 people claiming that Apple is doomed because their product quality has gotten so bad
- 52 people saying that iPhone buyers are lemmings and would buy anything Apple puts out
- 10 people who claim that Apple is for babies / idiots / sissies
- And the rest looking for directions to the rest room.
When will the people who write these idiotic stories ever get it into their heads- a complaint of a problem is irrelevant. As soon as they can provide numbers showing how many people are experiencing the problem and whether it's greater than or less than the competition, THEN maybe it would be worth writing the story.
Thank you. I was about to do the same.
So out of the 230 posts, did you figure how many were unique visitors, pro, con and neutral?
First, MS needed to case-study General Motors (the comparison is obvious and for another thread).
Now it appears Apple should case-study Toyota: i.e. never let your own success lull you into complacency, and never let you own growth rate pull you into shortcuts.
Even if the screen, antenna and proximity issues are only affecting some users, they are all things that should've been caught beforehand. Do we dare say "rushed"?
Some things are simply not possible to catch "beforehand". They can show up in a small percentage of production phones, manifest for only certain people or use cases, only appear when a critical mass of users is reached to load the network, and so forth. I don't think Apple particularly rushed this product, nor was lulled into some kind of complacency. They are building a leading edge product, and when you do that you're certain to run into problems. Who knows how many bugs they had to work out of their first prototypes? Only time will tell how widespread and endemic these problems actually are.

Apparently, some of these problems have gotten out because all of the phones off campus, where the signals would be expected to be weaker, were using those cases to deceive people into thinking they were the 3GS. It's possible that they prevented some of the other problems from appearing as well. They looked like tanks in those pictures we saw.
I am also having the problem with the proximity sensor when on a phone call. Tries reset of all settings and stll have the problem. Anyone find a fix from Apple?
The proximity sensor problems are causing me headaches. Today, my cheekbone managed to create a very awkward conference call... (think about how many steps are required for that! ugh)

However, I have place myself on mute...

It's a good thing we don't do that here, huh? Complain all you want to.
It's practically mandatory!

It would be too boring otherwise.
Still, Apple went up today while the markets declined.
While I know it "doesn't matter". It's still enjoyable to see that Apple is now worth $31.1 billion more than MS. Nice trends.

General
Reset
Reset all settings
fixed it
it used to lock up when i take a call
when i move the phone away from my ear, the screen stays black
home button does nothing
neither does lock button
i had to keep pressing the lock button till i eventually heard the lock sound
then i could unlock it and go back to the home screen
it only happens when you restore from backup
if you do a standard restore it doesn't lock up
since i did the reset all settings it hasn't happened

Do you guys have some software to do this count? I sure hope you do. It can be quite time consuming otherwise.

This head condom did the trick for me
And you do look good in it.
Not only do you look cool, but you look smooth.

Not as good as when steve starts selling it.

Well, I hope you get royalties.
I've had issues with the sensor on almost all calls. It's very annoying, very disappointing and I hope there's a fix for this real soon.
I hope it's just a calibration issue. I wonder if some of the other issues might be calibration issues. Any problem with the antenna issue?
