I get the annoying bug of not being able to end the call every now and then.

Thats still OK, i get the annoying bug of not being to answer now and then. Slider just refuses to slide. Sometimes helps to press the power button (silent) and then try to answer. maybe you can try the same. Or move your finger in front of the IR to switch screen on and off... maybe it will work then.
 
Why is it that I never get these issues?

I mean I have almost every possible app loaded, from Winterboard to SBSettings you name it and I never get this issue..
 
Yeah switching the screen off and on via the proximity sensor does the trick... Still annoying as **** though..

Updated the SO's 2G last night to 2.2. Everything went well. I just wish Apple would find some way to restore your icons to the same location again.

They have, it's called backup and restore, you can do it from iTunes, only for app store apps

I used to get this from time to time, double tap the home key, forces the phone to react by either jumping to favorite contacts or activating iPod controls, from there you should be able to jump back to the incoming call

Personally I think that is more of a network issue than a phone bug, I'm sure you would have had this on your previous phone/phones from time to time?

Yes I did... Did it yesterday and I have been getting even more constant disconnects. I think it was probably Vodacom's fault cos I arrived in Durban today and I have had excellent reception 3G and 2G since this morning.

How many hours or should i say minutes do you get with PdaNet?

I think the mix of Cydia installed apps might be part of the problem.
Click to expand...

hmmm....

well, with regards to the cydia thing, i've noticed that when you do a restore firmware, then jailbreak, then restore from backup, some of the files that relate to cydia apps are returned to the phone, not sure to what extent though, so i'm in the habit of uninstalling everything cydia before i fiddle with firmware/restores.. .there is a cydia app that backs up your cydia apps, not sure if it does your springboard as well.... a little reminder from the other memebers as to what the app is maybe???
 
The app to backup your cydia stuff is called apt-backup. It basically makes a list of your cydia apps, which it then downloads after the restore.

BTW, if you are jailbroken, and using iTunes to upgrade the firmware, you MUST restore rather than upgrade. Simply upgrading will rob you of about 500MB worth of storage, which you will not be able to get back untill you restore.

unfortunately vodacom3g hasn't got back to me yet..
I have kindly asked him on numerous occasions for an update but he fails to provide one
Click to expand...

hmmm.... it could very well be that vodacom does not support this, aparantly it only works on the older smsc's, vodacom's network kind of kicked off with slightly newer technology....
