[Mobilepartners] This on an iPhone

[Matthew D Sullivan]

I think upgrading to 4.1 would be best first step to rule out a software issue. If it will occurs after the software update, as Helen mentioned, bring it over to Apple. To me, it sounds a proximity sensors issue.

Please excuse the terrible grammar, blame the EVO 4G.

OK, I am inching closer to installing 4.1

Another hilarious part of the bug is this:  As I am struggling to get out of ‘brick’ mode, by dancing on the top and front buttons, I hear the shutter click sound, and I find that the phone has taken a snapshot of its own login screen, even though it was not visible. Now *that’s* what you call an Undocumented Feature.

I've heard bad things of 4.0, but nothing bad about 4.1.

Back when I was using 3.1, the phone part of my iPhone would freeze up in the background sometimes. Not quite the same as yours is doing now, but a restart of the phone would solve it temporarily.

I will consider it, but many people tell me I would rather have Poison Ivy. Much badmouthing of 4.1 out there.

Hi David

Could you try updating to iOS 4.1 and see if the issue persists?

My otherwise-pretty-good MIT iPhone has one disturbing bit of bad etiquette during conversations:

During many conversations, the screen goes blank and the phone bricks for a number of minutes. I can’t even hang up the phone. After a few minutes, I get use of the unit back. Just now, I could not accept a call after I had just completed one. I believe the OS is 3.1.3, 6gig memory available.
