iPhone Woes
« on: Aug 28, 2010, 06:08 pm »
I've got an iPhone 3G.
I accepted the most recent upgrade to 4.2 and it s@cks!
Any news from anyone out there as to whether or not we are stuck with this "advancement?"

From what I understand, the system upgrade is better suited to the 3GS which is why you're having problems with the system. I wish I could help more, but my 3G started to die (ringer stopped working, buzzer stopped working...) and I switched to a used Blackberry until I can upgrade to a 4.

All I know is the OS4 upgrade made it so that my iPhone 4 and Nike+ stopped working. (Yes, utterly not a stage management issue. But I paid good money for my Nike+ and I want it to work!)  On the forums folks have posted various hacks to allow 3GS people to roll-back to the prior OS, but it sounds like results have been very mixed.

So, I have no help. Just sympathy.

I've found a little success with doing 2 hard resets in a row...  (hold down the home and sleep button until the phone reboots, once it does, do it again.)  Also changing the settings for search (by basically switching all options to off apparently helps.)  But yes, you are not alone in the fact that the newest OS has made non-iphone 4G phones sluggish, especially the 3G.  Apple seemed to be blaming it on the 3rd party app creaters (that they need to update their apps to be in line with the new OS) but then why are Calendar or iPod sluggish?
