iOS performance on iphone3G-performance issues.
Has anyone had any experience of their iphone 3G performing more slowly or adversely after an upgrade of the existing OS to the new iOS just issued? I know multitasking, etc, doesn't work. I'm wondering if the new OS overtaxes the hardware and it's not worth upgrading. Thanks.

I'm hoping Apple continues providing tweaked/optimized versions so I can try iOS4 on it again. Reverting, once you've tried it and decided whether or not it's for you, isn't a big deal and goes fairly quickly.
In all configs, it was just way too slow. I downgraded to 3.1.3 and hope it might get looked at in a point release update. If not, I'm just fine with how my iPhone is running under 3.1.3.
Unless you willingly cripple Apple's software and then are whining back and forth about how it is "fairly sluggish".
iOS4 was still slower than 3.1.3 and at least once, after loading a particularly large game, stalled for a full 10-15 seconds after closing said game.
Also understand that by the reasoning of most people including myself, 3.1.3 is not by any stretch blazing on the 3G. It is a little sluggish to begin with and becomes MORE sluggish with iOS4. Those seconds add up though. When you are talking 4 seconds to open versus 3 and you are going back and forth across multiple apps due to lack of multitasking, it really adds up and feels 25% slower.
Final update 'my ass...
*yawn* Restoring from jailbroken backup is sufficient to make things worse, linuxoids...

Explain rather than insult and perhaps you could convince rather than just condemn.
Also provide what criteria you need to make this point and I'll do it. I can start fresh and instead of doing a backup, start with a new user on that phone and revert to the backup later.
No one, not even Apple has claimed 4 would run as fast as or better than 3.1.3 on this class of hardware. Apple specifically excluded certain features due to limitation of the hardware. Besides fanboyism, condescension and trolling on your part, where is the proof?
Put up or shut up. Do you even own an iPhone 3G or are you just going around condemning everyone else because you hate anyone who has ever admitted to jailbreaking or unlocking?
Yes, unlike the vast majority on this board, I do have iPhone 3G and I know my hardware. And honestly, I doubt a lot you do.
And I repeat --- hopefully the last time, no huge intention to enter into discussions with users of twidroids --- iOS 4.0 is not slow on iPhone 3G, which was not jailbroken. Without using special equipment user can not notice the difference in time of execution of pretty much any piece of Apple software and most of third-party apps.
4 sec vs. 3 sec of the splash screen of specially selected slow application may be somewhat theoretically significant. But this is not iOS 4.0, for starters. It was not measured precise. It varies. It's artificial example of no practical use.
Receiving iPhone (did you?) with pre-installed iOS 4.0 you can not say what's happened to that phone before. I repeat restoring from jailbroken backup matters. Don't show me how good you know the theory of restoring iPhones. It's irrelevant.
I will not shut up. Neither will I "discuss" and fight for any guarantees for that guy who asked for an advice. He chooses to trust your theories, he takes what he's entitled to.
iOS 4.0 will, sure, not slow down on iPhone 3G as a result of your theorizing.
Are you asking ivan.rnn01 not to insult on AI board ? Sorry, my dear mates, ivan has not even got satred on insulting someone here.
Well guard that bridge and enjoy.

Doubt all you want. I've seen the issue on several forums and on the Apple support forum. Some hard reset and clearing out and full reset helps clear out the worst and most egregious problems but the point remains that iOS4 is slower than 3.1.3 on many matters. You've not offered and proof to the contrary and there are multiple examples from many user and even video illustrating it. Feel free to hold your breath and throw a tantrum or likewise repeat yourself ad-nauseum.

Yes, you do indeed repeat your FUD over and over again. Cast doubt on the parties, the apps, the user and their ability to be able to tell four second from three. Declare all of it impractical just to add the cherry on top. It is all dust being thrown up to try to obscure the reality that iOS4 is slower than 3.1.3

Actually I can since I met the owner, talked with him at length and have no reason to doubt him. He is a die hard iPhone and Apple user who absolutely would do nothing to harm nor impair the phone. He only uses AT&T. He even purchases Applecare on all his products. He keeps them in cases and with covers. The phone and everything about it were immaculate and he passed along all boxes, paperwork, you name it. This was some guy trying to sell a scrapped up iPhone with no accessories but 100 free apps to offset that.

Won't prove your point but won't stop repeating it and in the meantime you won't discuss anything either. Keep guarding that bridge there and keep demanding that toll.
