LazyWeb: fix my iPhone
Sep. 3rd, 2008 10:10 amWondering if any of you iPhonesters might have an idea what's going on with my toy...
For several days, my iPhone's connectivity via 3G has been so slow as to be functionally useless. Safari often times out before even starting to load a page (and the model page I'm using is www.google.com). Sometimes it gets partway it and craps out, so it doesn't seem a DNS issue or anything. Other internet-using applications work so slowly that the phone usually locks the screen before anything interesting happens.
I was wondering if I maybe knocked its internal antenna loose or something, but phone calls still work fine, so it's probably not that, right?
WiFi works fine. Cycling the phone does not fix this.
This is a hard topic to google, becuase most of the results are about the slow rollout of 3g iphones in july. Frowny.
Edit: I just learned that you can shut off 3G to opt for Edge-only connections, so I tried that. Edge is failing too. :(
