So after 3 months of use I am my third iPhone. It goes good for a couple of weeks, then they just become buggy and unusable. I dont know how anyone else feels, but constantly having a phone break down or crash is getting old. Suprising my last phone (MOTO Q) had no problems and seemed more reliable. The coolness of the phone quickly wears when you have to replace it over and over. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through multiple phones since its release.

I have 3 iPhones. One I got on iDay and is still active on my AT&T account, but a friend has that one currently

The second I got in mid August and had to replace once - but it was my own fault - I dropped it in the toilet while cleaning the washroom. That's the one that 1.1.1 bricked.

The third I just got last week for my husband (Anniversary gift) It's not active yet - I'm holding off trying to decide if I want to unlock or go ATT. Will depend on what the Dev Team learns about cracking 1.1.1 tween now and the 23rd

I dont get it are you taking back these iPhones cause your having the same problems as everyone else or are you having something new happen? It just seems odd that there are only about ten people I know on this Forum that has went through a few of these but they never saywhy just seems kind ofwired that there are so few you guys/gals and so many of us still on are first iPhone with no problems but the already listed firmware iusses.

^ im guessing a lot of the returns have to do with user error...

Did you actually troubleshoot the problems? Did you do restores? Was the phone hacked? The phone crashing and being buggy is one problem I have not read about, the worst I have seen is slowness due to over hacking.

1st phone: Battery wasn't holding a charge.
2nd Phone: Dead out of the box and would not hold a charge
3rd Phone: got it the same day as the second and no problems yet...except I think I may have the negative black issue but it doesn't seem that bad so I am going to stick with it.

One iphone. Purchased mid august.

I had it freeze a few times right before the last update, thought I was going to have to replace it. Luckily it hasn't happened since then.

in terms of my phone being buggy...they are not hacked, original iphone on ATT network. Ive tried to restore them when problems occur. The first one i got would ring when someone called you until you did a hard resest...the next one had battery issues...and now im on my third...unless there is an endless ring setting, i dont think it is user error.

2nd...got the first one June 30th and it was buggy and finally failed to boot, so got a replacement in the middle of August but had to fight with Apple because it was beyond the 14 day return policy.

One phone.

When the phone gets buggy or acts up I just give it a reset.

3rd one here. First 2 worked great with the exception of battery life. They started out fine, but after 1 week they would be dead by around 5 pm on a normal day for me. The one I have now, under the exact same usage, will routinely go past 2am. So 3 total for me I guess.

I was on my fourth one...and ready to send it back to exchange it again...and traded it instead. I really was disappointed...since I like the iPhone so much. But, each phone I got had its own brand of problem. Kinda got weary of that...

I might give iPhone another try later...or just wait the Gen-2 phone out.

On my second one, volume issue was NOT fixed by 1.1.1. There never was a clear indication that everyone received a volume boost, So, I'm holding this one at the old firmware so I can "play" with it....

i got an iphone on the 8th from the US and my uncle send it to me to canada and i received it today but when i took it to someone to get it unlock today they werent able to do it cuz the phone keeps freezing. now the phone turns on and sometimes turns off. do u think i can get some kind of refund (store credit cuz i didnt pay with my CC) or exchange for a new one
