iPhone OS 2.2.1: Problems and Fixes
Users are experiencing a series of issues--some minor, some significant--after the iPhone OS 2.2.1 update.
Installation fails, cannot restore Several users have reported an issue in which the installation of iPhone OS 2.2.1 fails partway through and subsequent restore attempts fail, yielding, in essence, an unusable iPhone.
If you experienced a similar issue, try the suggestions listed in this article.
Airplane mode problems Make sure that your iPhone is not in airplane mode. If the iPhone is in airplane mode when it is updated, it will not be able to properly activate after the software installation takes place. To get around this, avoid putting your iPhone in airplane mode prior to the update, or (if you've already applied the update in airplane mode), disconnect your iPhone from your computer, then slide the emergency call switch and follow the prompt to disable airplane mode. Press the home button, connect your iPhone back to your computer and allow activation to take place.
Slowness Some users have reported laggy or otherwise poor performance from interface elements under iPhone OS 2.2.1. If you are experiencing a similar issue, please let us know.
Now all I get every few seconds on the phone, even while in sleep mode, and it wakes the screen is message:
This accessory is not made to work with tphone.Would I like to turn on Airplane mode to eliminate interference etc?
This error comes up every 30 seconds or so. I have tried hard restarting the iPhone hold down Home and top button until iPhone shuts down. This didn't do anything.
Hard to believe Apple yet again messes up updates.
i have received this message as well. however this usually refers to an old iPod/iPhone radio/charger base. Is your phone only plugged into your computer through the USB cable? Or do you connect and charge your iPhone by plugging it into a non-Apple dock charger with radio frequency (usually an older model)? This message has come up for me as well when I plug it into a non-Apple dock with radio frequencies as the radio frequencies interfere with the phone's networking capabilities (except wifi connection I believe). All you need to do is turn on Airplane Mode while it is connected to a radio-capable dock and that should do the trick.
If you receive this message under any other circumstances then I don't know what else could be causing the message to come up.

No it's cool though, that speaker system only cost two hundred and fifty dollars.
Thanks for bricking it, Apple!
My headset worked flawlessly before the upgrade and it is really frustrating. Anybody can offer some helps on this?

- After the 2.21 update my iphone keypad row where numbers 4, 5, 6 are located respond at times only not always like before. Similarly buttons along the same row on the screen do not respond always. My Iphone has been used only for 3 months. Is this a hardware defect or related to the 2.2.1 update. Would appreciate some inputs.
