- Do a reset. Hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake switch at the same time. When the "Slide to turn off message" pops up, KEEP HOLDING them. Once you see the Apple logo, it is safe to let go. Power it back on and see how it goes.
This thing is a computer, and like any computer, PC or Mac, it will require the occasional restart. Just turning it off is not the same as the method outlined above. This method is the way you do a "battery pull" on an iPhone.06-07-2008 04:34 PMLike 0 -

- Oh I can do all the tallying I want but thats not going to convince my wife. Ya I know sounds like I'm whipped but when you have a pregnant / extremely hormonal woman on your case about spending $400 or $500 on "just a phone" theres not alot you can do but just nod and say yes dear. Maybe I'll see if I can slip an iphone onto the baby shower registry I'm sure that will go over real well
That is unless I win one here, then I think the convincing would be a little easier.06-07-2008 09:40 PMLike 0 - This use to happen a lot to me before iPhone software 1.1.3 came out. Now it doesn't happen a lot. Actually, I haven't seen this at all in 1.1.4. I would try a hard reset and see what happens. iPhone software 2.0 should make everything way more stable, so just hang on a little bit more.06-07-2008 09:46 PMLike 0
- I know exactly how ya feel bud, my wife alone can't make sense of spending 4to 500 bucks on a phone ( i know she just doesn't understand but she will!) plus 2 more contracts on our tmo account that don't end until late december so throw another 400 bucks on top of that for etf's if i decided to go that route, so hell no, I won't be getting one until prolly macworld 09.
That is unless I win one here, then I think the convincing would be a little easier.
1. Sold my iPod nano for $130 - new iPhone cost $370
2. Sold my Moto Razr for $50 - new iPhone cost $320
3. $100 gift card to Apple store - new iPhone cost $220
In the end, $220 was more than reasonable.06-07-2008 09:48 PMLike 0 - This is a very unnerving thread to read. Not owning an iPhone right now, but wanting one really bad, I was not expecting to hear about the common "Microsoft" problems showing up on an Apple phone. I thought that was Apple's forte, stable operating systems/programs. I used to have a WM handheld, before WM phones, and had to soft reset that all the time, I do not want another product where that is needed.06-07-2008 11:28 PMLike 0
- I weighed the options of spending $500 on the iPhone and this is what I came up with:
1. Sold my iPod nano for $130 - new iPhone cost $370
2. Sold my Moto Razr for $50 - new iPhone cost $320
3. $100 gift card to Apple store - new iPhone cost $220
In the end, $220 was more than reasonable.Last edited by burnsaa; 06-07-2008 at 11:51 PM.

Now I probably use it more than most people do so if your just a casual web browser I guess you might not notice it as much as I do.06-08-2008 12:02 AMLike 0
- Ah, those resets must be a digital placebo effect. Certainly calmed my fears.
@ burnsaa, that's a sweet gig! I try to be fair to my Xbox 360, but Apple still wins out, for me.
@NPR_aficionado, it's a case by case thing. Have no worry, the iPhone works wondrously easy and is very, very stable. You'll thank yourself for buying one06-08-2008 01:23 AMLike 0 - I read an article about how the iPhone runs more like a computer (you have your processor and you have your Mac OS X) so it should be hard reset whenever you notice a slow down. I usually experience a choppy look when I flip between pages on my home screen. A hard reset fixes this for a while.06-08-2008 01:46 AMLike 0

Think of it this way: just because you take aspirin to fight a fever doesn't mean you also need to take aspirin for a scraped knee; not every problem demands the same solution.06-08-2008 11:44 AMLike 0 - Yes, Safari sometimes crashes, and I expect those to decrease with each new software update. However, I still loved my first-generation iPhone, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight thinking about the WWDC keynote, and I'll order the new iPhone as soon as it's put up on the Apple Store. In short, no phone is perfect, and Safari crashing a few times doesn't mean it's not the world's best phone.06-08-2008 04:09 PMLike 0
- I have had issues like this more when the phones first came out, they've definitely gotten better now. However, there are still some things that happen such as crashes, lockups, and this one weird bug where I can move the webpage around, but can't click on any links or buttons.06-08-2008 05:51 PMLike 0
