iPhone G3 Connection Problems?
January 21st, 2009 Category: Latest Featured, iPhone
A friend of me told about connection problems with his brand new iPhone G3 (I also have one, shrug. By the way, if anyone is wondering why I’m owner of G3: the responsible person was mentioned in the first sentence of this article. So I think in case of connection problems I’ll make him responsible – sue him, ha ha!). During phone calls it happens that the connection is lost and afterwards it may take some time to find the network again. So he went to a local store of a German provider (T-Mobile) and asked. They told him “Sure, disable G3 and it will work” (G3 means UMTS connection).
Went through the internet and found some articles which seem to approve this issue. Looks like that nobody is perfect. After checking the settings of my iPhone I’ve recognized that I’ve disabled G3 in order save battery run time. This would explain why I’ve not experienced such problems. At least it sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?
Give us back good old analogue telephones with cable! Just kidding of course. If you experience similar problems feel free to post them here.
