iPhone OS 2.0 is Unstable
July 14th, 2008 Posted in iPhoneI’ve been running the iPhone OS 2.0 since it was released and many of the apps I’ve tried out are awesome and welcome additions to my iPhone. However there are some problems. Application sometimes crash. I haven’t narrowed the problems down to a particular application. It has happened in several of the apps that I have installed at seeming random locations within the app.
An even worse problem is that at least once or twice a day my phone will reboot. As with the app crashes I haven’t narrowed it down to a particular application. The fact that a supposedly sandboxed application can take the iPhone OS down is not good.
Since the problem occurs in many different apps at apparently random times I’m assuming it is problems with the OS itself.
Anyone else having app/phone crash problems?

Check the crash logs from the iPhone and see if there is some common aspect to the crashing (similar frameworks, system calls, etc).
Maybe post some of the logs to see if anyone else has any ideas.
Yep, Same exact problems. Seeing it on 1st gen and 3G iPhones. I agree. I think it is more of a problem with the OS than a paticular app.
I saw more info about it on this post:

I connected my iPhone 3G to iTunes today and it uploaded 35 application crashes and 2 kernel panics back to apple. That’s in the last 36 hours. While the phone was sitting docked to iTunes it panicked and rebooted again.
The OS is beyond unstable for retail release product. It feels like a Beta that someone just rushed out the door. But hey, they sold 1 million buggy phones in 2 days, that’s $199M in revenue to AT&T and who knows how much to Apple.
