one of the most irritating bug in the new beta.. really incontinent. happened 2-3 times a day. had to reboot the phone to get it back to normal. try to force quit but couldnt work since the new beta remove the force quit feature, ironic eh? its beta but does not have force quit feature.. haha

Sofabed, Johnnyiv – definitely seems like tons of people on 3.0 Beta 3 are seeing this – and maybe more frequently than I originally thought. Johnny – that sounds like a decent workaround …

This seems to be happening to me very frequently…. but i suppose instead of having to completely power off your iPhone, simply go into settings/general/international/language, and pick a different language. This will cause a “soft respring,” rather than having to power it off. Repeat this step to go back to your language of preference. Hope this helps you all. Major bug i agree!

Get this 2-3 times each day. Only way I can get rid of it is to reboot the phone. I can usually get around this by dialling via the contact

Cameron & Critter – thanks – between comments here and tweets I've received, definitely see that quite a few people have seen this bug. Hopefully it'll get squashed in next beta release …

macgirl – you with your jetsetting, Barcelona-hopping, Google Voice Invite having ways! I'm one of the rabble who hasn't got an invite yet – but nice workaround if you can get it 🙂

I've seen this! I was just writing a blog post myself on the issues I've been seeing in beta 3, with this among them. I have been able to get around it using GV Dialer, the Google Voice app, where the keypad is not affected by this bug and I can make a regular call without using my Google Voice number.

Re-starting the iPhone is the only way I've been able to get it to go away.

brandon – I definitely expect glitches too, and I'm still very happy with this latest beta overall. I just felt like this one was worth mentioning as it is in the major glitch category – anything that breaks the Phone app, even in a beta, is noteworthy, especially for those who may be on the fence about running this beta right now …

Happens to me all the time, reboot fixes it.

I figure its beta, I should expect glitches and I move on.

@ iphonedocked – Hey J – glad to hear you are also suffering with this 🙂 Nah, but glad to hear I'm not the only one …

I get this once or twice a week. It is the only major bug I have encountered on this release.
