    My sony car stereo picksa all my calls up via bluetooth and is terrible on my iPhone 4, but is superb quality with my 3GS running iOS4.

    Is anyone else having battery issues with iphone 4? Mine sucks! No apps running in background, full charge, take of charge and don't use it at all, it loses 5% in 2 hours! I have notifications off, email set to manual, everything possible is turned off, but it still sucks!

    hows your reception during that 2 hours? i know all phones with poor reception will drain the battery switching between edge and 3g.

    i have an iphone 4 and have had no problems at all. love it!

    If I connect my BT headset after call is initiated, audio quality is horrible. If the headset is already on and paired and then a call is initiated, the quality is good. I have an iPhone 4 and a Jawbone Icon headset.

    i only ever get 1 bar where i live, if it ever got anywhere near 3g status, i'd be worried! I've been lucky in every other aspect, no signal issues, dropped calls, proximity sensor, etc.

    My iP4 has problems pairing with some devices, garbled audio and frequent connection loss. To my knowledge they have confirmed this is atleast partially caused by software. They obviously rushed iPhone 4 because of android's market gains and now they pay the price. Is iP4 still the best phone on the market? Obviously....

    On 3GS with iOS 4.0 no problems with A2DP stereo BT headset (Sony Ericsson MW600)

    It must be 4g hardware problem.

    The world doesn't revolve around you. Just because you don't have any issues it doesn't mean other don't

    I don't think all the issues with the iPhone 4 are acceptable especially for a premium product. I had reception issues, still haven't gotten my case, and my proximity sensor is still not working properly. Was 4.02 supposed to fix that? Haven't tried bluetooth but really don't want to because that would make it 0-3. And I'm just curious. How is it that they rushed production/release when they introduce only one phone every year? I think they had more than enough time to work on this phone when you consider that the 3Gs wasn't much of an upgrade. I know products aren't perfect and some bugs are expected but this is really too much. Doesn't Apple pride itself in providing the "best user experience"?

    Well I take the bus and my bluetooth doesn't work well either. Maybe I should upgrade my ride. Any recommendations?

    This happens to me with the speakerphone on. Exactly what the BT people reported above.
    It took me 3 trips to the apple store for them to believe me. I have a cracked screen so tehy wouldn't exchange it for me for free. But I have always had the issue since day one.

    This effen iphone 4 is starting to piss me off

    Same issues here on two iPhone4's between me and the wife and another iPhone4 that a coworker uses. I found issues occur when answering without BT on first. When using a Jawbone Icon I can work around the issue by switching to the handset and then back to the Jawbone. However,I cannot work around the audio issues while using a moto headset.

    Bottom line for the two iPhones we own are to have the headset on and connected before you answer the call. If you have issues swap the call to the handset and then back to the BT headset.

    My 3Gs phone I would leave in my kitchen which is the on the 2nd floor. I could travel throughout my house upstairs to my bedroom or downstairs to the basement with my Motorola - H720 Bluetooth Headset and never had a problem. My 4 in the same place, the kitchen and people I talk to say the samething and sometimes the bluetooth goes completely out but if I go back into the kitchen it will automatically reconnect to my call

    Add me to the list of those with this problem. I have Plantronics headset that worked beautifully on my 3G (people never knew the difference), but on the iPhone 4 people say they can't understand a word I'm saying. Grrrrrrr!!!
