iPhone 1.1.3 update leads to problems?
It would seem that the latest iPhone/iPod touch update is doing a bit more harm than good. There have been reports that the 1.1.3 firmware is far less stable than the previous 1.1.2. Some of the problems with 1.1.3 being reported:
- Error message during/after install of iTunes 7.6 and firmware 1.1.3
- Loss of sound output from the iPhone's built-in speakers
- Bluetooth devices that worked with 1.1.2 no longer work
- Mail problems

I have just watched iTunes install the 164.2mb software update Version 1.1.3.
Installation failed right at the end
I then asked iTunes to do a RESTORE and now my iPHONE has been bricked!!!
I bought my iPhone from an apple dealer and will return the phone tomorrow, minus the sim as I need to have a working phone!
07956-544202 is my number...I wonder if it will work tomorrow.

I have not encountered any of the issues previously mentioned, and for a couple of days after the update, I didn't have any problems. Now, however, the ringer intermittently does not work, but the speaker still works. I can play music through the speakers, and I can have phone conversations, but I don't hear it ring. Volume is on max, and the ringer is set to on. Please tell me if anyone else has found a solution to this issue. Thanks.

I have been having Mail problems since this update. New Gmail messages come in blank with the 'Download remaining x.x KB' button at the bottom. Hitting this button does nothing. However, I can access my Gmail fine through Safari. Other apps have also been less stable.
Why doesn't Apple address these problems with a fix or at least acknowledge they exist and will be fixed ASAP?

I am having major problems. Iphone won't go to voicemail, and every call i get seems to " Call Failed". I called Apple & AT&T to get it resolved. They passed me around to six different departments, and then hung up on me.
I was trying to talk to my girl, and the screen wouldn't work. I have never jailbroke this phone, and have installed all the updates. I almost wish now, I never bought this piece, and I have been with MAC's since the beginning.....

I have an unlocked iPhone 1.1.3 and I see there's 3 updates waiting - TuneWiki version 2.0, NES Vesrsion 2.0 5-1 and BSD Subsystem Version 2.1
Should I update these?
Thanks

my ipod touch keeps crashing regularly especially in mail and safari, even while browsing on tuaw..

Same here. I get about one crash for every five minutes of browsing in Safari. Mail doesn't crash, but it is incredibly grouchy about getting new mail.

The loss of output from the built-in speakers is an old problem, i have installed the 1.1.1 firmware and i have it, and i am really diassapontined to hear is not solved in 1.1.3

no problem for me
after 1.1.3 I reboot one times the iphone to get my edge network again.
no worries since.
safari is no more or less crashier , just like 1.1.2.
it means : sometimes it crashes. (for example animepaper.net , it's very unstable here)

...turning the phone off and then back off?

I have had no problems upgrading or since then.
I have just noticed that *(in the UK at least) there is no longer a Phone Number shown on the Summary screen for iPhones. This was never present on O2 phones so perhaps they don't show that if one isn't present.
Any confirmation from US users?

im having trouble... the sound sometimes wont come out of the ear-speaker thing when you put it up to your head the fix is pluging and then unplugging headphones into the jack three times to make it work (that was apple cares suggested fix not mine!)

Mine crashes more often in Safari, iTunes and YouTube take ages to load, locate me doesn't work, and sometimes when I unlock, instead of a the "slide to unlock" screen coming up, it just goes grey. Oh, and the the phone also feels a lot slower in general.

Whats up with the 186.4 MB of "Other" data on the phone? Was that always there or is that something new with this update?
I am not the most observant person at times.

I haven't had any serious problems like those listed but I do feel like the keyboard lags behind now. Just a tiny amount but it is noticeable and slows me down.
