Messany master of late news. Ur late about 4 hours but good news anyway

3.1.3 at times seem to slow down the 3g, Why even bother upgrading to iOs 4.0 for folders?.

I think 3.1.2 firmware is the best for 3g

I noticed a big difference in speed by turning off the Spotlight Search on my 3G. I never used it anyway.. Seemed to make it run faster overall.. Especially openeing and closing apps..

settings > general > home button > spotlight search> Uncheck All

Try that and see if that helps ya at all..

Haha, this is for all the people with 2G's and want 4.0 on their iPhones... (I have a 2G, so no, I'm not advocating buying a new iPhone every year as it comes out, but if it fails with the 3G, it's going to fail harder with the 2G)

I thought the 3G had the same RAM and stuff as the 1st gen iPhone.

Also, not trying to single you out, but why does everyone call the first iPhone a 2G? What about it is 2G?

I've been with AT&T since 1984 and after iOS4 update my phone went from I love it, to the F*** with this crap, called AT&T about phone losing internet connection to droping calls or using "Edge" only. Before iOS4 I never had this issue with my 3gs 32 gig. I gave AT&T a call, recommend turn phone off then on, still problem, AT&T call Apple for help, back and forth we go. Well AT&T if you are reading this "SPRINT" works like a champ.

I know a lady who had AT&T and apple tell her to call the other to get her problem fixed, so she called them both in a 3-way and talked to them at the same time. She got her problem fixed.

I remeber my 3G being super slow. It was so frustrating at times. Luckily I sold my 3G for 300$ unlocked and bought a 3GS for 240$

I had that problem with mine and even with my iPhone4. A restore and starting from scratch fixed it. It sucked having to reenter all my numbers and other things, but it did work. Might be a setting that carries over that the new OS doesn't like.

Not sure if you run windows, buy you can manage your contacts with Windows Address Book or Outlook. Then you just set your phone up as new and sync your contacts with the Info tab in iTunes. Saves a lot of typing The 3G should not have been allowed to update to 4.0. It has the same specs as the 2G. People may not want to hear that you will have to upgrade to the 3GS(or even better the 4), but software and Apps are going to force this. Apple knows what time it is. The 3GS will take the $99 spot of the 3G so it won't be too bad to upgrade your phone.

Same thing with my 2g, when i upgraded to 3.01.
Its pretty clear that they dont want these old phones around for long.

As soon as I upgraded my 3GS to iOS4, it began to constantly crash and reboot. Than it stopped turning on, even when holding the home and power button simultaneous. I'd have to leave the phone alone for about 20 minutes than try to reboot it, and if it decides to boot, it once took the phone 3 bloody hours to finish booting!

Apple replaced it for me yesterday, with iOS4 on it. Haven't had any problems with it yet, but it's still day one. Anyway iPhone4 comes out in Australia tomorrow and my network (and employer) are offering 50% off the upgrade free so I thinks I'll take up the offer.

Anyone wanna buy a 2 day old 3GS?

I guess I'm in the minority. My 16GB 3G is running IOS4.0.1 with no noticeable difference in speed from 3.1.2

Let me get this straight, you update the OS on your phone and didn't work as well as before the update so you call the cellular provider? Everything worked fine until you installed new software from Apple so you assume AT&T must be having issues? Your deductive reasoning is incredible.

Pathetic.

How did you guys sell an iPhone 3G, buy the iPhone 4, and still have profit??? Anyways, my iPod Touch 2g is awesome on iOS4. Safari is bugging me though with it's slowness.

It's not that they don't want them around. Technology has outpaced them. And consumer demand for more and more features is pushing these phones to their End Of Life phases.

There are modified iOS versions available out there for the 2G and 3G that work great!

I am running one on a 2G based off of 3.1.3 that has many cool options including some options from iOS4:

Jailbreaking, Unlocked, Wallpapers from iOS4, Springboard Wallpaper, iOS4 Dock, Reflective Dock, iOS4 Icon, Battery Percentage, Bluetooth Tethering, Native MMS, TXT Character Counter, USB Tethering, Video Recording, Multitasking and more!

On top of it all it functions even much faster than the stock 3.1.3. Developer removed a ton of stuff (plists) not used by older 2G and 3G models to free up ram. My 2G feels and performs similar to the way it did when it was new running the 1.X iOS versions.

I have a 3G and its slow, my brother has a 3GS and its also slow, my other brother has a 3G and his is again slow, a friend has a 3G and his is really slow, a whole heap of his customers have 3G and 3GS and they are all slow.

All iphones are running iOS4 and iOS401.

Nice update Crapple... NOT. You are more and more like $ony with every update. Adding useless crap that bloats and slows down the system forcing us to update to the new hardware.

I think the HTC Desire is more and more appealing now. Time to change.

[eyeRobot]

Sold my 3G 8gb for more than I paid for my iPhone 4

Maybe the initial payment, but you'll still be paying for that phone for a while yet!

yes, the typical iDevice owner should scare you.

3.1.3 at times seem to slow down the 3g, Why even bother upgrading to iOs 4.0 for folders?.

I think 3.1.2 firmware is the best for 3g

So, is there anyway to downgrade to 3.1.2 firmware ?

[CaptainChaos]

Yes. Download the 3.1.2 ipsw and shift/restore back down to 3.1.2. Jailbreak with Blackra1n.com.
