iPhone 3G and iOS 4 update. Caution

So I updated my iPhone 3G with the iOS 4 software update.

I wish I can go back in time to stop myself from doing this. The update itself was smooth. I think it was partly because I did a fresh install.

Right off the bat, I found that the iPhone is much slower. Folders don't open as quickly as my friend's 3Gs, and the camera is still quite slow to load and snap some a picture. I found that resource intensive applications take a while to load is is more prone to crashing.

Speaking of crashing, I found that the iPod application crashes while I am playing my podcasts in the background and working on some resource heavy applications. I expect 3rd party apps to crash, but not apple own.

I found that home screen icons disappear from me which never happened with the previous software.

THe battery has taken some hit. I used to be able to sleep and use my iPhone as an alarm, but found that I barely have enough battery juice when I get up in the morning. Result is I have to put my phone on airplane mode. I have been using my phone like normal and think that the battery is being affected. I even power cycled my battery and still no luck.

There are time when the phone just shows the white apple logo with the back background. It seems like the phone restarted itself, but it gets stuck to that logo. I have to so a soft reset by pressing the power and the home button at the same time and holding it. This is frustrating if I am in a rush to use my phone. It has happened 3 times in the past few weeks.

Upgraded already? Try this to downgrade back to the previous OS

If you have an iPod touch 1st gen, 2nd gen, or an iPhone 2G or 3G, you is poor.

@supersonic13579 98% of the world don't have smart phones or devices. You should read more books, or at least buy Human Planet by the BBC. It's expensive to buy, but I'm sure you can afford it. I will be renting it from my local library because I is poor.

i bought a 3g but had to get it unlocked and jailbroken and it has 4.1...its FUCKING slow and i cant use almost any apps is 4.1 the problem? please respond!!!!!

[JawnMercernary]

@hellboy0o 4.x update did make the iPhone slow. It is possible to revert back to 3.x but many of the apps on the appstore is updated to 4.1

No. If you have an iPod or iPhone it means you are a lucky guy when other people are starving. an if you say "you is poor" it means you are very smart O.o
