Hasn't been a problem for me since the update that supposedly fixed it. A friend of mine still has an issue with it. Although he does have a screen protector which may or may not be causing an issue with it.

i had the issue with the sensor but after the update it is working fine now.

Both me and my wife have sensor issues as do a few of my friends. I actually have yet to meet someone who hasn't had a complaint. It is completely impossible for me to cup my phone between my shoulder and not end up pressing something. I was able to do this flawlessly 100% of the time with my 3g and 3gs.

However everyone I know also has a screen protector so you might be onto something there.

I don't have a screen protector and it happens to me whenever I hold the phone to close to my face, like with my shoulder.

Is it wise for me as a 3G owner, to upgrade to the latest software?

silentsim · 12-10-2010, 10:19 PM

I think 4.2 contained further enhancements for the speed on 3G's, so yes (Especially if you are running 4.0 or 4.1)

Barnes · 12-11-2010, 09:47 AM

Yes 4.2 does help the 3G quite a bit. Maps is still unusable though.

metallicat · 12-11-2010, 10:28 AM

It would seem I'm having trouble downloading the update. In iTunes, it says there is new iPhone software, but when I click update, it says iTunes is already up to date. So I'm not sure why it's checking the iTunes software when it should be checking the iPhone software.

metallicat · 12-14-2010, 08:47 PM

Ok, I've about hit the wall with this piece of crap 3G. Is it assumable that we'll be getting a new iPhone in June or July again next year? I am this close to just going to get a 4, but I really don't want to unless I absolutely have to. I'd hate to buy one now, and then a better one comes out in six months.

silentsim · 12-14-2010, 09:28 PM

Probably, but it will be just as hard to get as the iPhone 4 was. (maybe not as bad as the 4, as that was a big push from the 3gs) so realistically might be longer. might not be a major boost though?

You have 3 choices:

1. Keep the 3g

2. Buy an iPhone 4 and be happy with how much faster it is.

3. Buy Apple and shut down the iPhone division. There will always be a better one on the way.

There is always a new one coming out.

I'm holding out for June/July for the iPhone 5 to upgrade from my 3GS. Hopefully I can sell it for something to ease the financial hit.

Hopefully I'm wrong for your sake, but I think the market for selling the 3GS will be much smaller when the iPhone 5 is released than the market for the 3G was when the iPhone 4 was released. We're already starting to see apps being released that require you to have the iPhone4 for them to work. I can only see this trend continue.

worth · 12-15-2010, 10:57 AM

Yeah, I don't think your 3GS will be worth anything. Is anyone going to buy a 3G right now? When the 5 comes out, there will be a pile of 4's up for sale.

silentsim · 12-15-2010, 10:59 AM

Well, it really depends on if its a "5" or a 4G type thing. My guess is it will be a minor improvement...not enough to warrant the change from 4-->5.

who know's at this point...all the rumours focussed on ipad 2

KTrain · 12-15-2010, 11:07 AM

If it is a bump to 4G then there will be even less market for the 3GS as more people will ditch their iPhone 4's. If it's just a minor improvement I know I'll stick with my 4.

I think what he means is if it's still a 4 with a few extra features and they call it a 4G (much like 3g--->3gs) then there won't be much demand, but if it's a whole new concept/design then it will be more popular.

silentsim · 12-15-2010, 11:53 AM

don't think it will be a 4G phone...not quite there yet infrastructure wise...verizon iphone should be LTE though...

Russic · 12-15-2010, 01:37 PM

I highly doubt my 3GS will be worth much of anything. I honestly question what they'll add to warrant an upgrade from the 4. Can't think of a whole lot that phone is missing besides a quick antennae fix and some sensor upgrading.
