Apple’s New iPhone 3.1 OS: Complaints of bugs
By: Alan Ng | September 18, 2009
We have some more feedback to give you now, following the many complaints that users have been stating since Apple rolled out the iPhone 3.1 OS update.
As reported from TheRegister, users are calling this iPhone update the ‘worst ever’, with problems including dropped calls, poor battery life, WiFi problems and issues with the tethering service.
Another big issue is the failed Microsoft Exchange syncing problem, which we wrote about in detail yesterday. While some of you will argue that your iPhone has been fine in relation to the problems mentioned above, there is a greater number who need apply.
Apple are going to have to address the sheer volume of complaints coming in, before it gets out of hand. Let us know if you have anything else to add on this subject.

Apple iPhone OS 3.1.3: Any Problems So Far?
after recent update to 3.1 i have frequently got the “No Sim Installed”
I’m having exactly this same issue – no sim installed problem – freuently.
I am now enjoying, call drop outs and mail crashing.
Very surprising from Apple.
you forgot to mention how 3.1 makes iphones freeze all the time
So frustrated with this upgrade! i use the phone for business and its dropping calls and freezing every 10 mins! complaint going in for sure!
My phone is constantly freezing. Thanks for the update!!
Glad I haven’t updated yet!!!!!
yeah thanks to the new update my phone turns off randomly about three times a day and can only be turned on by holding both the sleep and home buttons
Mine’s slow and slower at waking from screen lock (sometimes it takes longer that the 20 rings I have set and I fail to answer the call) and is often very slow at responding to screen touches.
It was fine prior to 3.1.
Incidentally to the other Matt, mine does the same but I’ve been attributing it to a complete failure to wake from screen lock rather than switching off.
Terrible software. Phone randomly freezes, while the case is getting warm, afterwards the battery is empty. In principle battery life is below 12 hrs with normal usage. Sometimes slow reaction. No GPS function.
Ever since that last 3.1 update my iphone does not come out of sleep mode and I have to do a hard reboot to get my phone back. This happens daily and its irritating! They need to fix this immediately for my phone has been reduced to that of a paperweight!
