RANT - 4.0 for iPhone 3G SUCKS. Now my phone is slow as ****

[sk8ordie]

Is there a way to revert back to the previous version? My wife and I both have 16gb 3G iPhones (no problems since Jan '09) and since we upgraded the other day to the new software, our phones are pieces of ****. EVERYTHING is much slower:

Going to settings
Surfing the web
Youtube damn near useless, takes over 10 minutes to watch a 2 minute clip
Apps are slow, words with friends takes 5-10 minutes to send a play


I am very unhappy with this "upgrade". I have never jailbroken my phone as I heard it slowed it down, but with the slowness we're experiencing, might as well jailbrake them :rolleyes

If this continues there will be no way in hell I'm keeping this phone. Contract is almost up and I'd rather use a free no frills phone from another provider that doesn't drop a call every other day.

You can downgrade any 3G model at any time.
Just download this 3.1.3 ipsw and restore your phone to that thru itunes.

Hold Shift down and click restore or hold Option if you're on a MAC computer to select the firmware file you downloaded.

sk8ordie,

Join the club of OS4 unhappy iPhone 3G users. You have to wonder if Microsoft programmed OS4 for Apple, because this has been one big failure.

You may now be able to pick 3.1.3 or iOS4 right from iTunes "restore". Check out this thread.
