Apple iPhone: Top 10 problems and solutions

Apple iPhone: Top 10 problems and solutions

By: Alan Ng | July 30, 2009 | 39 Comments

If you are an iPhone owner and have grown frustrated over time with the list of problems with the phone, we have found a useful article which highlights 10 problems with the iPhone, and solutions to fix each of them.

As PCWorld points out, even the iPhone isn’t perfect. They have compiled a top ten list of the most annoying problems with Apple’s device and ideal ways to fix them. The first of which is that users are unable to hide default apps, due to Apple insisting that they remain there. The solution to fix this problem is to have an ‘appearance’ feature in settings, where users will be able to hide default apps to their liking. PCWorld also state that this problem can be solved if you have jailbroken your iPhone, but we wouldn’t advise that.

Other problems include poor battery life, weak email management and the number one slot: AT&T is the carrier. To read more details on these problems as well as solutions, head over to PCWorld for the full article.

Do you agree with the problems highlighted? Maybe you have some issues of your own to discuss, so let us know.

    By mistake, I inserted the sim-card holder of my iphone upside down. Half way, I couldn’t eject it so as to place it in the normal way. The harder I try, the more it looks likely that it would break. Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I have no idea ! But I have a 3gs16 and it has done a simular thing today! Did someone help you out?

  • Robert Plasse

    My screen seems to stay in an enlarge mode. Even though navigating from screen to screen is barely possible, after reseting and restoring, it still goes back to the enlarged mode, as if you are enlarging to see a web page, except it does this on its own and won't go back to the normal screen setting. I am still able to call a favorite because I can still tap one button. Any ideas would really be appreciated.

  • K Kristina50

    My Iphone 3g shuts down if im not using it for a few mins. Mostly whenever its not being charged, even when it is being charged sometimes. I got it restored at the apple store, but it is still having that problem. It works great when it is on though. And at night when Im asleep, i put it near me, and it will have a full battery and Ill wake up and check it and it will say its dead.
    Please email me at k.kristina50@yahoo.com

    My iphone 4 asks for a password but I haven’t set one up. What can I do to stop this screen from popping up so I don’t have to hit “cancel” before I can do anything?

  • Patty Kropp

    when I go to check my mail on my iphone, I always get asked to select a wireless network, which isn’t necessary, so I always have to hit “cancel” to get to my mail box. It never used to do this, and only recently started asking me to pick a network. any way I can stop this screen from popping up?
