    Default New Optus text on iPhone

    My iPhone was at the red battery screen for having not been charged for 2 days, and when it got enough juice to show the home screen, I noticed something above the application icons I'd never seen before.



    Specifically the Optus text. Anyone else seen this?

    Edit: Eh fancy forum code that breaks the picture link. See below for bigger pic thanks, Huy.

    I recall it happening to me as well. It went away and I've never seen it again.

    Under the clock, that 'Optus' text isn't normally there.

    Have seen this before. It appears to be something that's just gone wrong. A reboot usually fixes it. I've seen this when my phone has decided to crash and 'reboot in safe mode'. That's always a fun one

    Pfft, sif it has anything to do with Optus.

    Its a bug in the firmware, writing your carriers name in the wrong position on the screen.

    I've never seen it happen (yes I'm with optus)... but it just screams of a software bug. And a rare one judging by the number of people reporting it, and the fact they say they've never seen it again.

    This happened to me when I was switching around sims to test my unlock, but then it went away and never came back. I think I have a screenshot laying around somewhere.

    The text went away when I restarted the phone, but then it came back again yesterday when I switched the device to airplane mode and off again when I was in an area with sporadic Optus 3G/GPRS/plain network coverage to try and force it to reconnect to 3G. Very strange.
