Cannot compose mail

it's actually been extremely stable for me.
BUT, it's been a battery whore. same usage pattern that got me 2 days before upgrade get me 12 hours in 3.0

anyone else having this issue? i have a primary on 2.2 that i will take with me on the road this week, but i'm just curious if anyone else is seeing the significant drop off?

This 3.0 beta is very stable for me as a beta. I am surprise.
A lot better than 2.0 beta back then.
My battery usage is normal.

Derp.
Must've been really tired, I remember pondering whenever that was correct or not and eventually going for automatical

i will do a fresh restore tomorrow then. battery literally dies 10% every hour or less. it's extremely frustrating!
but, stability is high and i love the new APIs

Had the same issue. Restoring to 3.0 and not restoring from a backup doesn't fix the problem (yes, edit). You think it fixes the problem (or at least, I did) because when I did the initial sync on the 'new' iPhone after the upgrade, my e-mail accounts were synchronized, but the passwords weren't transferred. I noticed about two or three days after I did the upgrade that the mail wasn't enabled, and immediately after putting the password in for my 5 IMAP accounts (yeah, yeah, I don't want to hear it), the battery life went straight in the toilet -- down to about 1 hour of usage and 6 hours of standby before turning itself off. I ended up downgrading to 2.2.1 because I couldn't handle it. Even setting 4 of the e-mail accounts to manual checking only and one of them to 30 minute fetch only made the battery life 1.5-2 hours of usage and 8-9 hours of standby -- nowhere near the battery life I was getting previously... (And nowhere near the battery life I'm getting now back on 2.2.1)

i have sam problem

**nautical** · 03-26-2009 11:24 PM

it's got to be an app not properly closing out - potentially mail.
it was definitely warm the entire time the battery was draining fast.

i did a complete restore and it's fine now. battery is still a bit worse off than before the upgrade, but it's fixed.

now, if group texts would work, i'd be a happy man

Had it for a week and everything seems to work just fine..

Only issue i have is that everytime i try to send a group text it turns the sms and tries to send them as MMS and as you know MMs isnt ativated yet so it gives me a error

But good thing for copy and paste so i can paste a message for each person =)

Well I have this problem of not being able to compose mail within the mail app. I can send something to mail using the note.app fine, type in the address and subject fields fine, but composing mail within the mail app is not possible!
