This happens to me. Usually after putting to sleep. It just doesn't wake up for a few minutes, sometimes. Very annoying. Gotta admit it's an amazing product otherwise.
I guess you can't do the normal phone troubleshoot and remove battery for 30 seconds.<p>Idk about apple and phones anymore after the last year I am pretty glad I never bought an iphone because at least java based phones are pretty versatile without imposed restrictions.
I'm looking forward to a breakdown of why this is happening; given modern coding practices from the people also responsible for OS X, freezing the whole [pre-emptively multitasking] iPhone OS—without even being able to get off an error screen or automatically reset—should be quite a feat. Doing it at regular intervals in the default shipping configuration should be even harder.<p>Does anyone know how deep the freezing goes? (e.g. has someone who has their phone jailbroken tried to SSH in while it's frozen?)
And I though "I'll read some Hacker News while my phone is upgrading..." Good thing I was able to stop the upgrade (just at the backing up stage). It is worth noting that I've been having voicemail problems and receiving calls problem with 3.0.1 for the past week. I was upgrading in hopes that it would fix some of these issues!
Here's the support forum thread about the issue:<p><a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151766&tstart=0" rel="nofollow">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151766...</a><p>Better skip this firmware update.
I had my phone lock up today frozen on the shutdown screen and it stayed that way for twenty minutes or so. If you hold down the hold button and main button for awhile, it will eventually hard reset.
This has been the most frustrating bug. I have missed several big client calls because of this update. How could test not find this... epic Fail for Apple. I really am ready to switch over to the Android. Please someone give me a reason not to leave.
