That's a program that is designed to reduce having to hire people to recreate the coverage issues after they get a complaint. Now they can capture the specific problem locations instead of getting "around 5th St and 27th Ave" from the customer. Most customers give horridly lacking details when they call customer service. Most just call to complain, and give little to no valuable information to help AT&T make the adjustments that should be made.
I'm familiar with crowdsourcing. I just think it will be funny when AT&T's servers crash now that their customers have a direct link to vent their frustrations.
The last six months with AT&T have been so bad I've reverted back to 2g to help with dropped calls and missed incoming calls. I don't know what's changed, except I'm at home more now.
Turning off the 3G option increases the time before the memory leak becomes a problem. It will still happen, but it takes much, much longer before it will become problematic. I wish Apple would fix the memory leak on the current firmware. Then the iPhone would be a top notch phone again.
I've been selling the iphone for 2 years now, thats the first I have heard about memory link with the iphone, I know blackberrys are proned to this but not the iphone!
I have an HTC Tilt that uses 3G and drops calls less than either of the iPhones I have. My iPhone was comparable to the Tilt for reliability up until firmware 3.1.0 was released. Now I need to power down my iPhone every 2 or 3 days to keep it reliable. That behavior is just like a memory leak. Just because it's not recognized by Apple, doesn't mean it's not a leak.
I haven't seen an app like that for the iPhone. It takes about 2 minutes to power down and restart my 3GS. It works like new for a few more days each time I reboot it. It's like it is the Windows from Apple phone.
Remarkably the Windows Mobile 6.0 phones I have used didn't exhibit the classic "reboot to fix" behavior that Windows became so famous for.
