IPhone 3GS upgrade v3.1.3 to v4.0.1: What's Apple Doing to Resolve?

I upgraded to 4.0.1 this weekend on my iPhone 3GS and my wife's iPhone 3GS. We are now both suffering from only 5 hours of battery life.
Prior to the upgrade we enjoyed over 16 hours of battery life. The only difference is the upgraded operating system. This proves the problem is the upgrade to 4.0.1, maybe not v4.0.1 itself, but definitely the upgrade from v3.1.3 on a 3GS.
We use(d) these machines in our business and because the working business day is greater than 5 hours, this upgrade to 4.0.1 is costing us real money. If Apple wants to be considered more than an up-market toy maker, it will need to show more commitment in support of real world businesses.
Can Apple continue to refuse to accept there is a problem? I've tried ignoring the problem, like Apple, but it didn't make my battery last longer. So I guess ignoring the problem is not the correct answer? Maybe I need to hold the machine differently with v4?
I call for Apple to immediately make an optional downgrade to v3.1.3 available, or issue a fix to the v4.0.1 upgrade process/software. If any empowered employee of Apple reads this, please action immediately.
Otherwise, what is Apple doing to resolve this issue, other than ignoring it?

Hi
When you say nothing in the csauth log... do you mean nothing at all... or nothing that looks like an error?
Try setting logging to max and seeing where it gets to.
I suspect there is something in your 3.3 config that doesnt get upgraded corectly. Its impossible for every scenario to be tested - Im not sure how much upgrade testing actually gets done. Probably left until the end of the test cycle.

    Seems your story has changed... not seeing is not the same as not supported.
    If the phone is carrier locked, you need a SIM from the carrier it's locked to to activate it.  The sim does not have to be active, it just has to be one from that carrier.

  • OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

    OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

    Hi there,
    If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
    There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
    Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
    I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
    I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
    Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
    Any other queries, just ask,
    Nathan

  • The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android phone worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  What is apple doing to fix this.

    The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem.  What is apple doing to fix this?

    Going to the local Apple store this morning...
    My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
    I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
    IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
    The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

  • I have two iphones in my household and neither phone has the wifi greyed out, what is apple doing to rectify this problem

    What are Apple doing to rectify the problem that the Wifi icon is greyed out and you can no longer get onto Wifi!! 
    This has happened on both iPhones I my household!!
    It must be a problem with Apple as so many people seem to having the same problem.
    I have tried resetting networks, resetting phone etc....nothing works

    Broaden your perspective a bit.  There are literally millions of phones out in the world without any issues at all.  If you are reading posts on the internet about the ones with issues, then you would be left with the impression that they all have issues.  Neither you nor I have data to support the existence of a widespread issue of this type.
    Having said that, the only issue that matters is the one at hand; yours.  Let's stay focused on that.  Help is here and if we can't counsel you toward a software solution, then help will be available elsewhere, but at some cost to you.

  • What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

    I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
    It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
    (plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
    What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
    I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

    o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
      - You call it rubbish
      - The world calls it physics
    You are totally wrong.  Please go back to School.
    o You can deny physics
      - but that will not change reality.
    You can go to School but that wont change reality.
    o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
      - I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
    I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
      - I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
      - But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
    Yeah because you were there.  Are you having some kind of relationship with the company?  I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
    Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations.  The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product. 
    This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber.  This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
    Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

    The iPhone has a hardware problem - with the battery or something else.
    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If purchased new in October of 2012, it remains under warranty. Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Iphone 6 screen scratches very easily, just by normal use. Anyone else? What is Apple doing about it! It shouldn't be like that, it is way more fragile than Iphone 5 and 5S screeens!

    I disagree. That is the problem with 'opinions'.

  • Iphone 3gs Upgrade to 4.2.1 deletes visual voicemail

    I unfortunately have just upgraded my iphone 3GS to 4.2.1 and found that my visual voice mail is no longer a feature. When I go to the phone menu screen, the favorites, recents, contacts and keypad still work. When I touch the voicemail icon, it immediately calls my voicemail each time. It does not go to the visual voicemail screen, but instead shows the keypad and is calling my voicemail number. It won't even let me see my saved visual voicemails. This is a pretty big weekend to be out of touch. Is anyone else having this problem? Thank you for any feedback.

    I upgraded my 3G to 4.2.1 last night and tried to set individual alert tones for SMS. Well, as everyone here probably knows, that was false advertising by Apple.
    I saw the thread here, though, about visual voicemail and checked mine. Sure enough, no go. When I clicked the bottom-right icon for voicemail, it just dialed. I didn't need a PIN, though, it hooked me straight up. I hung up and called voicemail a couple of more times, switched to the contact list and back to voicemail and eventually I got the on-screen prompt for the PIN. I filled that in (and it was maybe a bit lucky I remembered it) and all was well again ... with the voicemail. Saved messages were present.

  • Factory Unlocked iPhone 3Gs upgraded to 4.2.1 no longer working with SIMs

    I think this is an ios 4.2.1 glitch.
    I purchased a facotry unlocked iPhone when I was in Jordan because I travel a great deal for work and needed a phone that I could use with many SIM cards. When I set it up the first time, and several times after that when I upgraded the ios iTunes would connect to Apple and welcome me to my apple unlocked phone. For more than a year I have been able to use it will all of my SIM cards.
    The last time I upgraded to ios 4.2.1 iTunes did not connect to Apple to confirm my unlocked phone. Additionally my phone will only become activated when I install my Iraqna SIM chip. It won't work with any other SIM.
    I have a No Service message on my phone and while it lists all of the SIM information - when I go to General - About - Network I get a message saying 'phone not allowed' for every SIM except my Iraqna.
    I tried to restore my phone to the previous ios but couldn't because of the upgraded firmware.
    I tried to restore my phone and set it up and a new phone.
    I am traveling at the moment and cannot afford to use my hotel phone to be put on hold while waiting to speak to a service representative. I depend on my phone and have been resisting buying a cheap Nokia or an expensive Smartphone to replace my very loved iPhone 3gs.
    I also really don't want to have to illegally break into my factory unlocked phone just so that I can use it as a phone.
    Please Help.

    Hi sn4p2k.
    I take it that you have not heard of this problem and therefore don't have an answer.
    I am not living in America at the moment.
    Apple most definitely provides factory unlocked phones outside of America. I paid $1000 for this one from an Apple authorized reseller in Amman and it worked perfectly with Apple and iTunes through several ios upgrades for more than a year.
    My phone is not tied to a carrier - that is what factory unlocked means.
    I upgraded my ios and now I can't use my phone.
    If anyone out there has had this problem and has a suggestion or a solution I would be very grateful if you could tell me what it is.
    Thank you.

  • Help : After upgrade to IOS5, I only can use my iphone 3gs in Spore instead of Msia. Any1 know what is the problem & how to solve it?!

    I bought iphone 3gs in singapore last year,I had no problem to use it in Singapore & Malaysia but after i upgrade to ios5,i can't use it in malaysia.It will automatic restart my phone itself. Is it because of IOS5 problem?!Because when I register my itune a/c, I selected the country is Singapore. Anyone know what is the problem & how can I solve it?!

    If it automatically restarts the phone firmware is corrupt. Restore the phone with iTunes and set up as a new phone, do not restore your backup, which is likely where the corruption is. If it then works you can try restoring just the backup. If that breaks it again you know where the problem is; you will have to start over and manually reinstall your content.
    To restore just the backup, right click on the phone's name in iTunes and select "restore from backup"

  • Iphone 3GS upgrade but not all the way

    I know i can upgrade my iphone 3gs (currently running 3.1.3) all the way to 6.1...
    But can I just upgrade part way to 5.1.1?
    My friends upgraded theirs recently from 5.1.1 to 6.1 and all they do is complain. 5.1.1 is nice and I would like to upgrade just part way.
    Thanks

    No. It isn't possible to update a device other than a third generation iPod touch or original iPad only to 5.1.1, and it's only possible for those devices because they're incapable of iOS 6.
