iphone 3GS shutting down problems

I have just joined to ask people on here if they have issues with the 3GS shutting down :mad:

This has been happening since i upgraded to IOS 4.1

while in a call the phone will sometimes just quietly shut down and go to the apple logo.
this then needs the on/home button holding down until it reboots.

It has never happened on a short call just calls above 5 mins or so with me.
It is on other sites but no statement from apple or any solutions available.

Just incase someone here can help

    You could start by upgrading to iOS 4.2 and see if that fixes it.
  • I consistently had it with my 3gs, I took it back to the apple shop and they replaced it. It still did it, so I sold it and bought android.

    The iOS4 was never designed for optimum use in the 3Gs.
    Lots of complaints about 3Gs's being worse after the "one way upgrade" to iOS4
    Was talk of a class action suit against apple for not allowing a downgrade to 3Gs own more stable OS.

    the cynical among us say iOS4 for the 3Gs was deliberate attempt from Apple to make 3Gs soo bad and useless that they upgrade to an iPhone4. lol
