Database Connection Problem in iPhone but not Simulator or Touch

[jbishop]

Hello,

I'm hoping to receive ideas as to what could be causing this problem.

The app that I'm developing reads and writes from/to a postgreSQL database. The database connection works in the simulator on my computer and on my programmer's iPod Touch, but not on my iPhone.

On my iPhone I can login to the database without any problems but the app can only occasionally read records from it. 19 out of 20 times the "server is unavailable". Occasionally when I log in I can test a lot of fields, but that's the exception not the rule. I have consistently good 3G coverage and the server is always running when I test.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you sure the server, or a firewall protecting it, are not filtering out the requests? I would test the iPhone on a local Wifi connection to test it. You might also try the iTouch from a remote Wifi, like maybe at a coffee shop.

Otherwise, there's no difference between how an iPhone and an iTouch connect to the internet except 3G vs. WiFi.
