Now...are you sure you didn't enter them whilst on a jerky high
The GPS seems to work well for me. It even gives me a blue pin while inside the house. Granted, it also has a fairly large light blue circle of around 150m around it, but it still shows the pin which I believe means it's still getting a GPS signal of some description. This is with wifi off BTW, so it isn't getting the position from nearby access points, and the circle is way too small to be cell tower triangulation.
When outside, I get accuracy of around 10-15m, though sometimes I get the pin with no circle at all. Testing against my (admittedly aging) eTrex GPS, it also shows the same 10-15m inaccuracy as my iPhone outside.

More Bugs NOW?!
So, I read through the posts, and I have absolutely NO idea what 2.0.1 fixed.
Here are my #1 Issues:
Push email from Exchange - INHALES battery. I need to charge 2x a day to use PUSH.
SMS - severe keyboard Lag - still on 2.0.1 too
Apps extremely SLOW to respond, especially in the telephone part. Click on a letter to scroll to a contact, and there is an unacceptable delay.
Sounds disappear often. I will loose keyboard click sounds, unlock and lock sounds, among others on a REGULAR basis.
I'm assuming that 2.0.1 fixed a bug, but who knows what it actually was. It clearly wasn't any of the bugs that are problematic for me.
I'd rather Apple stop adding features and make their code stable. It seems to me that Apples ability to release stable code is failing as they become more popular. Leopard was wrought with bugs, and was nearly unusable when it first came out, and now iPhone 2.0 has some great features, but is full of bugs, generally slow, and is a battery inhaler.

I'm also experiencing ongoing typing lag on 2.0.1. It happens less often than on 2.0, but we could still use some more improvement there
Very Pissed Off iPhone user...
I am sooooooo pissed!
Nowhere does the update WARN you that you will have to re-activate the phone if installing the update... so now I have a BRICK! Grrrrrrrr!
I have an original iPhone with 2.0 and locked to AT&T. The problem is that I am on business in Singapore, and downloaded the 2.01 update in Starbucks. The download went fine, but the update locked in iTunes requiring activation and an error message comes up saying iTunes can't update and to check that I have a SIM card installed (I DO) and that it is not PIN locked (It Isn't). I get that old emergency call only screen with power on the iPhone. I AM PISSED because I will not be back in the USA until early September, and that means that I can't use my damn unit as an iPod or use the APPs until I get back now. Additionally, if I needed to (which I generally don't), I can't call the USA on my phone, or retrieve messages.... nor can I use Safari in a Wi-Fi hotspot to retrieve email via my phone.
APPLE NEEDS TO WARN WARN WARN people if they are going to require re-activation after a firmware update... PERIOD!
I intend to DEMAND that AT&T not charge me for August cell subscription, because they. AND Apple should have warned about the activation.

Ouch mate, that's bad! I thought you would be allowed if your legally roaming internationally! poor you!
Phone still lags.....
I downloaded and installed 2.01 firmware yesterday. It took approximately 20 minutes, and was completed without incident, thankfully. I have noticed that my contacts list no longer lags while I am scrolling, but switching from contacts to iPod, for example, takes a few seconds to open.
I have had some recent issues with Safari crashing, and so far I have had one crash but so far, so good

I agree leopard is full of bugs and that is not what i am used to when new mac os comes out... i believe it was a commercial decision - and look at the cash they made on the release weekend...let alone all the sales b4 xmas 07...
10.5.4 is still full o bugs.
come on apple - please make snow-leopard truly what you say you will do and concentrate on making the os smooth.... [ they have obviously realized that they needed 2] as well as multi-core optimization o course...
omm

Hey dude have you checked with apple / AT & T ?
- they make have a work around for you - and at worst they will know your circumstances for credit of your bill etc etc....
omm
I am not sure what else you have running in the background, perhaps WiFi or location services....but I can go two days with my exchange running on PUSH. So .....id look into getting your phone checked out.
#1 problem with 2.0.1
After upgrading to 2.0.1 on the same day Igot it back from applecare I put music on it and on iTunes it said I had put it on but nothing appeared on the iphone!!Ok.....thanks for the upgrade Steve

Instead of waiting until Snow Leopard to fix those bugs it's full of, how about fixing them in Leopard instead and leave NEW stuff to Snow Leopard. You shouldn't have to buy a new version of OSX just to get the bugs fixed and the OS working as smoothly as it was in Tiger, IMO.
I have had some issues, but its been overall very pleasant. However the biggest issue i was having was the lagging in the SMS, and that is still very apparent. Also it takes a half a day FOR sms to open haha. But other than that it seems smoother overall.
I also find if i turn off my phone every other day or so, just for a second it helps. Folks the iPhone is a computer. You usually need to turn your computer off atleast once a week to clear out the RAM and such, i dont see why we shouldnt do it with the iPhone.

Not if the computer is programmed properly you don't. Rebooting to clear out bugs is not acceptable, especially for a phone. If Apple wanted you to reboot your Mac and your phone once a week, they'd be laughed out of business.
19 days uptime for my Mac at present (and the reboot was due to a software update, not to "clear out the RAM.")
is 2.0.2 out? i read on Engadget.com something abt Pwnage bieng there for 2.0.2? here lemme go find the link, n then ill come back
EDIT:http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/09/pwnage-2-0-2-released-for-reals-this-time/
thats the link, and apparently its the Pwnage version, not the FW version of the iPhone, oh well....guess we'll have to wait it out..(still on 2.0)

Anyway, just installed the 2.01 update to my iPhone 3G (I was out of town until last night, so couldn't install right away).
Update took about 10 minutes, including download time. Installed properly and all my content remains intact (no lost songs, videos, notes or contacts).
Backup is about twice as fast as before. No lag when opening/scrolling contacts. Maps/GPS locks in on location much faster. Opening the camera app seems quicker. 3rd party apps remain intact and functional.
Haven't yet been out and about to see if the signal strength meter or EDGE/3G switch-over has been enhanced as reported.
So, bottom line for me is the update went smoothly.

Add me to the list of people having problems with the 2.0.1 update. I still have the keyboard lag in SMS, contacts take a long time to load (once they finally do load, there's still a lag before I can start searching or scrolling), and Safari still crashes. I can get Safari to crash consistently by turning on my wifi, going to testmyiphone.com and doing a download speed test.
I'm of the belief that before Apple introduces any new features to the iphone, they should make sure the current features are working perfectly first.

Whew, and I thought it only happened to me.
The 3G speed test works fine but the Wi-Fi test crashed Safari and the phone completely. A hard reset is needed every time.
Yup - same with me. I have to hold down the Home button and the power button (or whatever that button on the top of the phone is called) for 10 seconds to make the iphone reboot. I don't care what anyone says - if this many people are having problems with 2.0.1, there's something wrong with the update.
The only computer I have to reboot every so often is my Windows XP desktop computer. That's just the reality of Windows. The only time the MacBook Pro (Leopard) gets rebooted is when there is a software update. I don't see why the iPhone should be significantly different.
