They blamed the lag on the tethering to the projector. I say BS!

1. It is a beta, there is going to be lag.

2. The lag really has not been as bad as it was during the demonstration. I have been running 3.0 and it has been pretty snappy.

3. Why are you so obsessed with tiny delays? I have read through plenty of threads in the hacks forum... seems like you are just searching for lag.
 
ive restored my phone 3 items since the new update.... and youtube doesn't work any ideas? I have also tried contacting apple support and now i have to make an appointment

I had to trying syncing a second time to get the music and music to show up on my iPhone on 3.0
 
Every once and a while for me the ringer/all sounds stop working. I have to restart the phone to get it to come back.

Anyone else have that one?
 
I can't figure out what the trigger for it is. The ringer meter keeps popping up as well right before ringer cuts out....I think it might have been the voice recording app. I'm not sure...

It is the voice recording app. If you open it and record something then exit, all sounds become silent and the only fix is to restart the phone. Doesn't happen all the time though.
 
When I try to add a contact (or type something in a field that should have the first character capitalized) it doesn't show that it's capitalized, even though it types the first character capitalized. Not a major bug, just saying that it doesn't show that it's capitalizing.
 
I have just installed it now and the only bug that I have found is that under the "General" section in "Settings" there is another section called "Network" which I can't access, when I tap on it to view what's in that menu it just highlights blue and nothing happens so I just have to return to the Home Screen.

Oh and my YouTube is broken too :(
 
The alarm clock feature is unpredictable and dangerous in 3.0 beta.

This appears to be a YMMV issue. My iPhone is my only alarm clock, (Besides the 6 month old puppy that needs to go out and the 4 year old who wakes up and wants breakfast) and has been solid both mornings since I upgraded to 3.0.


I have noticed that my normal playlists are fine, but smart playlists show up as empty. The music is on the phone and can be played by going to the Artist or Songs tabs, but the playlist just says "No Music"

Also My Apline ida-X100 no longer "sees" my iPhone.
 
Found another

When composing a multiple recipient SMS, the OS automatically assumes you're trying to compose an MMS and errors out. The only way around this is to send them one by one.
 
Also cant dial numbers by clicking on them from an email or from an sms. The dialogue box pops up asking you to hit the call button to place call but nothing happens. Anyone else notice this?
 
Fixes!

(app compatibility thread here)

After a few days with 3.0 i've found that most of the apps work quite well.
At first i tried the "restore from backup" option when setting up 3.0
This was not a good choice. Consequently, i had issues with:
- YouTube - would launch, then abruptly crash
- Voice Memos - would launch and then freeze iPhone, requiring restart
- Phone - UI would disappear mid-call, freeze iphone, or not let me dial
- Palringo - would launch, then crash at login
- Pandora - would not launch
- EleMints - would not launch
- iPod - would launch and crash before showing me my library, corrupted my music database
- Search - results would not appear, would tremendously slow down iPhone
- Audio - delayed, or none at all
- Speaker Hiss - speakers would crackle and hiss even when volume was all the way down
- Keyboard - laggy beyond usability

After setting my iPhone up as a new device, all of the above problems were either fixed or ameliorated.
App Compatability/Issues:
- Photos - once zoomed in you cannot move your picture around
- Tweetie - some UI lag, lots of lag when taking picture for direct post to twitter
- Facebook - some UI issues, will not load any pictures
- Remote - no issues
- Voice Memos - lag
- Pandora - no issues
- Tetris - some lag, works fine
- Rolando - longer loading time, works fine
- DDR - some UI issues, does not play music along with arrows (voice commentary is still there which is odd)
- Ambiance (2) - crashes at splash screen
- Palringo - no issues
- Bank of America - some UI issues, won't remember my device
- EleMints - faster than on 2.2.1!
- EN-RU Dictionary - crashes upon database initialization
- WordBook - crashes while searching for word, (5-10s after launching)
- Translator - no issues
- Wikipanion - no issues
- Dictionaire - very laggy
- Pocket Guitar - no issues
- Loopt - no issues
- Urban Spoon - no issues

overall I'm happy with 3.0, with all the beta-testers, hopefully the next release will be significantly better.
Please Post Your findings!

Before you freak out about iPod, phone, voice memo and other crashes, RESTORE AND SETUP AS A NEW DEVICE!

this fixed at least 90% of my problems!

I'm going to review the question and answer session, but I could have sworn it was a combination of the projector setup as well as it being in the beta stage, a combination.
 
this should be made a sticky.

try fresh install, hope this isnt your main device.

it seems like everyone is ignoring the 5-6 people advising that setting up your iPhone as a new device (fresh install) is the best course of action.
i had the exact same problems described in the last 2 posts, restoring as a new device fixed all of them.

One thing I've always found interesting is many (i have no evidence to say the majority, but it sure feels that way) people who have problems with laggy jailbroken ipods can fix it by NOT using their itunes backup. This makes me question what it is about the backup process/restoring backups that can cause lag?
 
Somehow I keep changing the font in messages?
It changes back after a few messages. I'm trying to figure out what causes it.
