This bit of news might not concern a lot of folks in Manila(Philippines) as the 3G iPhone’s debut is still tomorrow, but for those who have manage to get one already, this is a note worthy read.
As you may know, iPhone 2.0.2 firmware update has been released and while it does work for others; it seems that it apparently does quite the opposite for some. More specifically, the latest update actually kills the iPhone’s ability to make phone calls in a 3G network. Ironic isn’t it considering that the whole point of owning a 3G iPhone is to be able to use it in a 3G network, right? Well, reports are coming in that some users are experiencing this dilemma after they have updated their beloved iPhone. One particular frustrated owner eventually brought his iPhone to an AT&T store to have it checked; and when the SIM was swapped out, the problem was fixed.
Gizmodo has a simpler solution: switch your iPhone to use a 2G network only. Yeah, it doesn’t exactly fix the problem and is actually just a work around, but it’ll do in emergency situations.
For now, this issue isn’t widespread yet, but as more reports slowly trickle in, I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of people that are affected by the update slowly swells to a greater figure. So I guess it’s best to hold off on updating your iPhone’s firmware at the moment until a more stable, and reliable one becomes available.
