Name one thing you hate about the iPhone
- Thread starter cdesigns
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
The only time this happens to me is when I hit the home button without tapping the END virtual button. Unless I'm wrong, I think as long as you're touching END after the phone call ends, this won't happen....you'd think it would also time-out if the user doesn't touch anything and the remote caller ends the call...
That's what she said. (Sorry it's an involuntary reaction)
I hate seeing other people with iPhones.
second the AT&T response. AT&T doesn't have service in the two counties I primarily work in, so I can't get one.
The one thing I want is file management. Be able to download files through safari or email, add files directly from a computer (not using something like airsharing), view, organize, or email them to others. My biggest beef.
No ability to customize your user interface. Even if it's just having a background image behind the icons... black gets boring after a while....
I also hate that Apple doesn't allow a way to change App Store icons. They should treat the icons like Album art in iTunes... how cool would that be?
That sounds like 2 things... but, customizing in general is my one thing I hate about the iPhone.

No bluetooth voice dialing capabilities
i can live without the copy/paste - since i cant edit Office docs anyways, and i can live without MMS - i think i might have sent 5 in two years
but the bluetooth voice dialing aggravates me on a daily basis

Just one thing??????
It's a great toy, but a lousy phone - useless text messaging capability (no ability to delete individual messages, no forwarding, no MMS) which I can only assume reflects its US design. Any other phone that had such abysmal text capability wouldn't last a week in the European market.
Poor text and call notifications. The weak ring tones and poor vibrate function have resulted in numerous missed calls.
No call divert settings for out of range, busy, etc. (just call forwarding)
No automatic time zone correction of the clock.
Methinks I'd have been better off with an iPod Touch and a proper phone!

nothing, well maybe nothing
I love all the iPhone can do in the palm of my hand. It cuts down on me bringing my MacBook on a lot of trips. The complainers bother me and yes I will say it would be nice if safari crashed less.

- no built-in Graffiti gesture or handwriting text recognition of any sort
also maybe:
- no Bluetooth keyboard pairing
- no integration of Calendar and alarms with App store apps

Safari not caching pages is my biggest gripe (I'm on EDGE at work). Safari crashing randomly for no reason is also another.
The battery life is not an issue for me though. If I've used the phone app (talked for 30min), checked my email and done some light browsing my battery is still around 95% (happened just yesterday). If I browse a little heavier (say at least a full hour), played some games (hour or two), checked my email and used the phone then it usually goes down to half or a quarter. I think I can live with that since I basically don't need to open my computer when I get home from work. Of course, having a head unit (Pioneer) in my car that charges it while I listen to music off of it doesn't hurt either (I haven't used a CD in ages). What surprises me is that with all the iPhone does people still expect it to last a week before they charge it. I'd be willing to bet that if someone where to only use the phone app and do nothing else with the iPhone, it would last almost as long as any other regular cell out there.
However, if it doesn't all you have to do is put it in airplane mode and then turn airplane mode off. It'll reconnect to at&t and show the correct time. This is a fairly rare problem with at&t across the board. Also, it's not an iPhone only problem (my old SE phone sometimes did the same thing).

Second that.
