Seems fine for me, maybe a little faster.

Similar problem experienced here, althugh I had it in 2.0x and 2.1. It takes up to 2-3 minutes for it to resume service from "Searching..". Bloody annoying! WIth optus.

I have experienced a drop call since running 2.2 FW, but I never had a drop call when I ran 2.0 FW NOT 2.1 FW since they have security problem last time with their firmware, I did not update my FW so; I update my 1st gen iphone straight from 2.0 to 2.2 through iTunes "download and install only"

Is/are there any other way to fix this problem? do I have to do the re-installation again? for my iphone or wait for the upcomming update to fix it? or restore it to 2.0 FW? any comment will be highly appriciated!

Thank you so much
Haris

Due to factors such as the iPhone Baseband, I don't think you can actually downgrade once you are on firmware 2.2 without iTunes throwing up errors every second of the restore.

I've experienced no problems on 2.2. For me it is much more zippier and stable than it has been on the previous firmwares since 2.0.

I have no probs with 2.2 on 1st gen 8GB.. except the usual - it works great for a few months, but the more bogged down it gets the more unreliable it gets in terms of app crashes (not very often but they do happen), and this other annoyance in that if I try to press a button it seems to think I'm holding the button long enough to bring up the wobblies so I can move icons around.

Like I say, these annoyances only seem to happen as my iphone gets more and more stuff on it, as it gets further and further from the firmware install date

Has anyone noticed that the wifi signal takes longer to boot up after being in Sleep mode, or is that just me?
