Anybody know if this fixes the "iPhone won't charge while talking on the phone" issue I was having with my 3G? It's been killing me.
Got a tip for us?

Never paid for an iphone again
Very true. I bought the original iphone way back when and have NEVER paid for another one with new money. I've keep selling them. Sometimes I have even made more money than I paid for. Upgrading iphones every year has been easy and FREE! ( except for the brutal contract of course )

Your pants pocket will most certainly activate the proximity sensor, if it's on. The proximity sensor just senses objects in close proximity to the phone speaker any object. However, the proximity sensor is only enabled during phone calls, so unless you're having someone talk to your pocket, the proximity sensor will do nothing when you put the phone in your pocket.
The screen can register your leg, and capacitive screens work just fine through thin barriers, like the lining of your pocket. However, the screen will also deactivate the moment it senses more than 5 or 6 simultaneous touches, depending on the model, and not reactivate until there are no more touches being detected. This will usually prevent unintentional touches from within your pocket.
Indeed.
So much for bug fixes...
Proximity sensor problem... still there.
Starting to wonder if this is a hardware design flaw. It never occurred with the first three phones. Now it won't go away.
Since I have ears and mouth installed in the standard locations, holding the phone differently is not a practical solution.

Funny that complaining got iOS 4.0 performance fixed in iOS 4.1 for the 3G. We should have shut up and stopped complaining then and purchased an iPhone 4, even though some of us may not be eligible for upgrade yet?
No, I'm not pushing any buttons on it, I just get random track changes when walking around with the phone in my pocket and listening to iTunes. It never happened with any of my old phones and doesn't matter what headphones I use (I thought maybe electrical interference on the headphones was causing the issue).
Certainly if I lock the screen the problem never occurs. I have just never had to do this with any other iPhone I have owned to avoid this issue.
I have also made a phone call with the iPhone 4 after updating to 4.1 and still have it keep the screen lit for a little bit longer than usual while holding the phone up to my ear.
In any event I doubt that proximity sensor problems are 100% resolved. I guess I will have to remember to lock the screen when making phone calls too in order to avoid hanging up on my boss or clients by accident.
4.0.x on my 3rd gen touch has been very good...no notice in speed degradation from previous OS3.x.x
I know you are kidding right? You should have realized that the 4.1 update would lock it back up. May be awhile for the unlock. Maybe downgrade your OS?
Freakin' finally! Used the good old manual update method, because iTunes refused to "see" the 4.1 update no matter what I tried. Installed successfully! 
How exactly are you holding yoru phone? I've never had this issue with the 3GS or 4.
I think this is a hardware issue, not software. I've heard tha Apple changed the pins on the new headphone jack.
Good lord what don't you people understand about the fact that the 4.0 update made my phone unusable when it used to run just fine ?
I don't want the new features, I just want my phone to work the way it always did. There's no reason on earth it should run worse after an update unless Apple screwed up, and if they can't or won't fix their screw ups I'll be far less likely to buy their hardware in the future because it'll likely happen again with the shiny new iPhone 4 you seem so keen for us all to buy the moment it comes out
All that said, I'm not noticing much difference with 4.1 at the moment, but I've only had it on for a few minutes so far.
Huh?
What in the world are you talking about? Slip it in your pocket? When a call is active? Hopefully this is your poor attempt at humor. Maybe you should slip it in your shorts and call yourself...on vibrate.
BTW, prox issue IS fixed.

I am noticing that my SYNC bluetooth isn't playing as nice with the iPhone anymore...it keeps disconnecting and doesn't reconnect automatically like it used to.
