PCs & Mobiles Forum - iPhone 4 OS glad I didn`t update yet - Page 1

I've had it for a week and a bit on my 3G.
Apart from a bit of battery sucking it seems to be fine for me.

Upgraded mine tonight, no problems as big as the article makes it out to be. Granted it seemed a little sluggish immediately after the upgrade but feels back to normal now, email and safari seem faster to open even. Might be some caching going on to have them open faster. And took me around 45 minutes with a half full 16GB 3G to backup, upgrade and restore. The new iBooks store thing isnt particuarly fast to open but once there is about the same as the apps store in terms of speed.

Other than the application folders, the slightly faster opening email and safari and the new mailbox layout nothing much else seems any different really.

That article has all the hallmarks of lazy journalism, how many people warrant a chorus of disapproval these days?

I think you'd be hard pushed to find any product in millions of people's hands that didn't have at least enough complaints to fill an article like that.

i'm getting really bad slowdown, & some bizare glitches, like when you try to close a page in safari, it opens the edit tab instead

I find that a complete restore is often the 'fix' for most issues (with no Apple 'restore' afterwards).

Then I just sync up my contacts/calendar music/videos etc.
I lose my SMS messages (but then I don't keep them generally anyway) and my application settings (which can be a pain, but I live with it)

I find that a complete restore is often the 'fix' for most issues (with no Apple 'restore' afterwards).

tried that, didn't seem to make much difference   the slowdown is really noticable when i'm listening to an audiobook/music, & try to do something else at the same time,  before installing ios4 this wasn't a problem at all,  but now, if i try to open safari/engadget etc the audio stutters practicaly to a halt, & the app slows down so much it might as well crash altogether

gonna try & load os3 back on from a backup, then give it a week or so then try again,  hopefully they'll iron the wrinkles out,   this only really seems to affect 3g users,  the 3Gs & presumably the iphone 4 aren't having issues....

Been fine on my 3GS - took about 6 mins to do it's stuff.
Like the double tap function button to bring up the browser to access another program.

Ogs - not sure you can downgrade it once you've updated (even putting it into DFU mode).
