3G with ios4 super sloooowwwww

[bigjnyc]

So I upgraded my girlfriend's iPhone 3G last night to iOS4... which took forever to update, restore from backup and sync etc.... anyway after upgrading the phone has been excruciatingly slow. like even bringing up the home screen lags forever. the keyboard is lagging, opening the text message app you can make yourself a cup of coffe while you wait. Her phone was working great with 3.1.3 and has never had issues before. It has never been jailbroken and she only uses it for the basics. Anyone else with this experience on a 3G? Should I do a full restore? She is holding out for the white iphone 4 but who knows when that will be readily available since we are not getting on a line for it.


FYI my 3GS is working super snappy with iOS4....

Updated two 3Gs in our house last night - painfully slow and all the same issues. Really irritating.

I have a 3GS and it seems a lot faster than 3.1.3

I'd imagine that the 3G is slower, just because it has a slower processor.

As long as her phone is backed up, you could always try doing a restore, then setting it up as a new phone (i.e. do not restore her data). Play around with the phone for a few minutes while it's "stock". That's how it should run with her data on it.

If it runs well "stock", then I'd try restoring it. If that slows it down, then I'd guess that something in her data is messing it up. The only solution I know for that is to restore the phone again, then set everything up by hand.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try a restore tonight without all her music, videos and stuff.

I think Apple wants your only solution to be an upgrade to be honest. But I can't even do that since they are backed up on the white version
