Recently got an iphone 2g and it has this white screen problem whereas when i put it in sleep mode it comes back with a white screen but if its plugged in to my laptop and is out in sleep mode it comes up normal without the white screen. Anyone knows what could be the problem.. i’ve tried updating to the 3.1.2 but that does nothing for the coma..

Hello all

Iphone 2G(8Gb)Firmware 3.0.1 Jailbroken with Cydia

I had the "COMA" bug appear after i installed bejewelled2. I tried absolutely everything to get the bugger to wake up from sleep, but to no avail.

Solution........ :)

I upgraded to 3.1.2 and yes, it STILL was suffering from COMA! After much fannying about, i discovered the following fix:

Backup iphone on itunes
Restore as a NEW phone on a DIFFERENT computer, using a new name.
Backup from Itunes.
Rinse and repeat a couple of times.

I now have no more COMA !!!!,

I think what did it for me was restoring as a new phone on a different computer. I am also VERY wary of jailbreaking the phone..........

Upgraded from 3.0.x to 3.1.2 and just noticed the my iPhone 3G S battery drain to an unacceptable level even with normal usage (Location Service off, Manually grab mail, WIFI turn off).

Well, can you than let me know how can you get back to the old OS? I would go back to the one before the older one…

3.1.2 has killed the battery life on my iphone. i never had a problem with any aspect of my phone in the year and a half of owning it. now, it doesn’t even last two hours. i am not running wifi. i am not running bluetooth. i have no apps open. it’s literally just on standby, and it dies within 2 hours. i did a clean reinstall, and that didn’t help. i am looking online to find work arounds to go back to the previous OS because this is not acceptable.

Well, I'm telling this to everyone. I proofed that iPhone's battery could be last longer after you updated to 3.1.2 by the "Setup new phone".

I was hearing music and browsing for 3 hours non-stop by using wifi, and my battery still 75% from 100%.

No, 3.1.2 did not fix the coma problem. Nor the apps starting and immediately closing problem. But things are slightly better in that I can at least get the thing running again with a full two button shutdown, ten minutes rest, and a restart. Very frustrating problem, and the worst part is Apple not owning up to it.
