Apple software sends Iphones into a coma

Mine still works fine!
:o)

Defo not an apple fanboi (but the iphone 3G is good enough i got one), but the wifes and mine have so far not exhibited any of the issues raised in this article. Different hardware revision or dodgy components maybe?

We all know Mr. Farrell is a Microsoft employee that spews lies about Apple whenever he has a chance. Apple software is flawless, so is it's hardware and its underground chinesse labor camps and whenever they roll a new update it just means that perfection was redefined. If any phone is entering said come state, it just means that that's how it's supposed to be: a piece of technology so astonishingly beautiful that won't turn on so you can admire it in awe.

Have an iPhone 3G and recently updated to 3.1. All of a sudden, the phone simply stopped working. 45 minutes later, it started again. The interface isn't bad (but could be better) and some of the apps are useful but I probably will go Android next time around. Oh yeah, AT&T is miserable. My phone drops calls like they are going out of style. I just wish you didn't have to sell your soul for 2years to get the phone.

I have had my 3G go into coma mode twice now, including today. Today's was only about 5 minutes, the last one was about 40 minutes.

Thanks Apple, you really have taken suck to new levels.

I have iComa......

Battery life is too poor & WiFi not working smoothly ...:0

These are all lies! Apple software can never go wrong!!!!!

Had trouble after update but a restore not only solved the problem but increased battery life.

I haven't had any problems. I'm running a year old iPhone 3G.

I have 32GB 3gs. Mine has exhibited some of the odd behaviors as mentioned above. Very frustrating because it is so unpredictable. My wife's 16GB 3gs is fine. I have ton's more APPS and many more email accounts then she does. Not sure if that is related or not.

The Apple's Press Orifice
will come out of its comode.

We dole out big money for
these trinkets, only to
later learn that we must
shell out big more

BB, Apple, et. al.
It is not worth it.

Throw them all back
across the Potomac
The real "indian givers"

anti apples articles are pretty good especially this one "coma mode" classic.

Mine has done this almost daily since 3.1 was installed. Last Sunday, it wouldn't reboot for so long I went to the Apple store. Apparently, they were unaware of the issues becasue they replaced my phone saying it was hardware. Sure enough, my new phone is doing the same 'coma' shutdown daily after I installed 3.1 late Sunday. Apple, please fix this!

"It is just like the machine is switching itself off because it thinks it is more important than its owner."

That's pretty tedious man. And yes, I mean tedious.

Yep I've got it too. The screen is black and I have plug it in to reboot it. Actually glad to hear others are having the same problem. Maybe there will be fix soon. Kind of scared the hell out me I thought my phone was going to keel over.

Apple may have some glitches along the way, but they've come SO FAR in a just a few decades. http://adwido.com/view_content?vkey=2f7f7c328eeb8af3b1df21fdf2b00e88

Doesn't this guy WORK with Microsoft haha

My 3G has gone coma twice now. The first time with OS 3.0 and now once more with OS 3.1. I was actually hoping 3.1 would fix the coma problem.

To me it seems like the phone suddenly stops reading the battery correctly and shows full battery until it dies.

I experienced something totally bizarre like this for the first time yesterday. I had just completely charged up the phone and set it aside to hit the shower. When I came back, the phone said "NO SERVICE" up in the signal meter, the touch screen was completely unresponsive, and the batter was utterly drained except for one tick of juice. This all happened with it just sitting on the counter for 15 minutes. After doing a hard reboot and recharging again did it simply work again as always.

Very strange.

I've only had trouble with the battery after the update. My phone tells me when I have 20% battery life left but won't tell me when I have 10% anymore, it just dies. Another thing is, if it DOES die and I plug it up, it shows the battery half full after just plugging it in from being dead. This sucks :( lol

Hey! I have a HTC Touch.
We Windows users calls it crashing!
Lol.
And yes it happens more with us.....

My iPhone 3G will drop to a blank screen as well, completely unresponsive. It's like it's turned itself off, except it hasn't - requires holding the power and home screen buttons for a soft reset. Also, despite not installing many apps on it (kept relatively clean of trash) the speed and responsiveness has dropped through the floor. A deliberate lack of optimisation to encourage upgrades to the 3GS?

...it seems like when it wakes up it takes a picture. I've taken several pics of my desk since I updated. It's funny, I set it on the desk and several minutes later I hear the camera sound and it's back to life. Of course, I'm not taking pics when it locks up...

attempting a fix for a bud at work.
if this works i'll document how to unbrick your phones here. We are using a iphone 3g [not 3gs] which had 3.0 and got upgraded to 3.1 which bricked it. initial fix allowed ipod functions to continue with no cellular support - going to try downgrading teh radio , and reflashing the 3.0 unlocked or so - o:

Earlier tonight I was trying to resume a podcast via the headphone on my iphone 3g and it wouldn't respond. Home and Power button did nothing. I held both buttons and forced it to reboot, and have had no issues since.

Jobs et al, listened to users saying the iPhone battery didn't hold enough power, so, PRESTo, now it's fixed, making your iPhone go into coma tstae your battery now lasts longer.
Lol! :P

a "coma" eh nick? i see...

this article has clearly been written by a microsoft lover,
go back to the mid 90'swhen microsoft had a firm grip on the market mate,
apple is taking over!

you poor pathetic man.

This sounds pretty much as a virus to me. Probably some folks (with "unlocked" phones) tried to install pirated (cracked) update and got more than they were asking for.
Oh wait - OS/X is too perfect to catch viruses, right?
