All you complaining about no fix for the "alleged" reception and sensor issues - THIS IS A DEVELOPER EDITION. It's meant for people like me who MAKE apps. Apple is probably working on other fixes with antenna engineers and such, and will release the bug fix in the next 4.0.x edition (as well as throw it into the next beta) once they HAVE the fix.

Also, the developer edition is BETA. IT WILL HAVE BUGS AND CALLING ISSUES.

Calm down and just go return it if you really don't want it. Another reason why there will be no "recall".
 
IF this is true, why are people getting multiple phone replacements that all do the same thing?

There was a guy on here a month ago, said he had Apple replace a bad monitor. Seven times.

I have 2 iP4s, work fine. If I REALLY, REALLY try, I can make the bars drop. Never when I am just using the phone normally. I don't have an proximity sensor issues, don't have a case on my phone, my wife has a Frogz case on hers.

Oh and I just sold both my 3Gs on eBay for more than I paid for them.

My phones work just fine and I will be keeping them.
 
I quite like the new Game Center theme; card-table design.

Does anyone know what SMATT stands for though?

On a separate note, can someone try pinching (in and out) on the Springboard please?

THERE IS NO SOFTWARE FIX COMING. THEY NEVER SAID THERE WOULD BE ONE.

I need a bigger font.

Shhhhh. It's more fun to watch the natives melt down all over again. ;)
 
The proximity sensor is not a flaw it is bad hardware, people have returned them to the store for a new phone and did not have the problem after that.

Really? I have yet to see a single person either on these boards or on Apple's own boards that have said that replacing the iPhone 4 fixed the proximity sensor issues they were having. A handful wrote right after they returned from the Apple Store proclaiming that the problems were resolved, but inevitably they would be back in a day or two to say that the proximity sensor problems had returned. On Apple's boards, there are no fewer than 30 people who have said that they are on their fifth or sixth replacement iPhone 4 and that they continue to have the proximity sensor problem.

Count yourself among one of the (very few) lucky ones, I guess.
 
Yes it's 'update' and not restore (XCode only has the option to update)
It bombs out halfway into the update with the phone stuck showing a 60% progress bar.

I just tried updating in DFU mode, and it failed the same way.

update: using iRecovery I could force the phone to startup and it's working now (although it's using the 4.0 baseband, and not the one included in 4.1)



make sure you 'update' (not 'restore') in iTunes, if that doesn't work put your iPhone in restore mode. But it really isn't worth the effort, trust me. :rolleyes:
 
That's true by the way. Less IO equals simpler chipset equals less power consumption.

Yes, absolutely. I only said 'tangentially' because the comment was somewhat off-topic ;)

Back on-topic: I have not noticed any proximity sensor issues with iPhone 3GS.
