always reproductible: how the iPhone 3G is jumping randomly from one Application to another

When heating is going up ... always reproductible bug report steps:

1. Jailbreak your iPhone :-)
2. Install XGPS
3. Try to "download the map" for an area covering "Île-de-France"; You'll see an estimated download of around 250MB.
4. Just wait - and after some time - when the iPhone is getting hotter and hotter - it will randomly jump from XGPS to whatever application (it's desktop or any other random app).


ps: anyway - a jailbroken iPhone is much better experience than a "legal" one. Just make sure that you don't upgrade to iPhone firmware 2.2.1 - because UnLocking won't work ... at least as of writing this. This is serious warning ... well apparently there are some boot-loader tricks - even downgrading the firmware seems problematic - I will try to evaluate this. But the latest baseband software is tricky. Don't buy unlocking software if you are already on 2.2.1 - they are JUST LYING ... :)

pps: I wonder - is this "heating" issue fixed in iPhone 3GS ? :-)
