Chris, I would check into the Apple store for some help. AT&T doesn't know what they are doing when it comes to the iPhone. - Justin Korn

So, iPhone 3G get's a "Status: FAIL"? - Outsanity

iphone 1.0 here still. glad i didn't upgrade :) - Chris Harris

Apple needs to just put up its own towers and have the iPhone on its own network. Its like putting 3rd party ram in a Mac, its nothing but problems :P - Scott

That SUCKS. So far, my 3G has been working fine. :D - joey@jwvmods.com

Unlucky man, as Justin pointed out, it may be worth going into an Apple store and see what they say. - Gaurav Patel

Have you tried DFU mode? I had this happen to me and it was guessed to be a bad sector on the flash drive. Apple will replace it... they did for me. - Douglas Porter from twhirl

I've had nothing but problems with the iPhone 3G. Fail! - Matt Singley

here's to HTC Dream + Android!!!! - andy brudtkuhl

I was considering getting a new iPhone but after this and all the other fiascos...maybe I'll hold out for the new touchscreen BlackBerry. - RottNKorpse

You've just been the worst case iphone scenario Chris from the beginning.. hope it gets straightened out! - Eric Gonzalez

Did you do anything *other* than install and remove 3rd party apps on the thing the entire time you've owned it? From what I've witnessed you downloaded and installed every app in the store. Your usage certainly isn't typical. And you really shouldn't be dealing with the AT&T store for an Apple hardware product. For one, the service at Apple is 1000 times better. - Adam Turetzky

Daamn... Hearing this just makes me NOT want to buy the iPhone any more. It's like the cursed phone. I think you have an isolated problem Chris, because I haven't head of this anywhere else. - Oliver

You may want to try Leo's fix. Format, start from scratch and then only install Apps from iTunes. Just a suggestion. It worked for most of my friends at school when I told them. - Zane

One of the things I would do is delete every app you have on the phone (other than what it came with of course) and start over again from scratch. Go little at a time reintroducing the apps to your phone, until you get to the ones that may be causing trouble. As someone else pointed out, you've been downloading and trying out alot of apps. Many of them have proved buggy. Maybe just start over again and don't put apps back for awhile. - Lisa Lee
