Did NOT update to iOS4, 3G slow ANYWAY

I did NOT update to iOS4. I saw all the reports of it slowing the 3G down, so I didn't.
And in the time since, my iPhone has been crazy slow ANYWAY. Yes, still running 3.1.3, and it's still slow going into Settings, SMS, Camera. The Home button doesn't always respond to the first press. The battery is down to 20% by mid-day (one example: charged overnight, put it in pocket, saw a movie, made a 14 minute call after. 20% battery warning during that call).
I took it to the Genius bar, they did notice that the battery performance is really bad now. I told them I felt that it was related directly to iOS4, even though I didn't update. I've had and used my phone long enough to know that it was right around the time the update was released that this began.
My theory - not officially accepted by the Genius, but acknowledged as possible - is the apps. I've been keeping my apps up-to-date, and most of them have been updating for the Retina display and Multi-tasking. It feels to me (and my iStat app has backed this up somewhat) that the new apps, optimized for iOS4, are sucking more memory from the 3G regardless of the OS version. Maybe they're constructed to expect iOS4 and run harder, I don't know.
I've seen other 3G owners who didn't update having the same problems, some worse than me. Everything I've seen on the forums complains of slowness after updating to 4.0. Anyone had any problems remaining on 3.1.3?

In summary I would suggest to anyone to take on updates as soon as practical and if anyone sees anything unexpected, unexplained or unusual then start with a reset followed by a restore then a 'restore as new' (which helps to avoid errors in backups, etc, being carried forward), and if problems persist then take their 3G to Apple or to an Apple-approved agent to get it fixed.
The problem with taking on this update is that, in general, it seems to render the 3G frustratingly slow at best and non-responsive at worst. While your advice has merit, a lot of people have just a cell these days, or their cell is an integral part of their livelihood, and the possible loss of communication, as well as a myriad of other services the phone provides, is more than one is willing to risk.
My phone is also slow and also still on 3.1.3. I am reluctant to "upgrade" to 4.0.x. Every single person with whom I've talked about their 3G has experienced a very difficult time with 4. Those with the 3GS have a more mixed response: worked great for some, not for others.
It stinks, because the risk in switching to a new OS seems too great. My phone is sluggish 90% of the time compared to just 3 months ago. It needs TLC, but the fear of losing my phone entirely outweighs the (seemingly minute) possibility of a positive outcome. I have all the issues people seem to be having (slow slide-to-answer, the middle bottom button guide not responding at all sometimes, receiving voice mails but not phone calls, frozen screens, etc), but I have NOT updated any of my apps since 4.0 came out, so I don't see that as the issue.
I feel as if the software for the iPhone 4 is just too much for the 3G to handle, and is making my phone obsolete. I run the gamut from frustration to anger, and while I've always perceived Apple as having good-to-great customer service, it has made me think twice about the Mac book I've been desiring...

    PS CC 2014 DNG and RAW 8.5 did not update with the rest of the CC package. I downloaded/installed the DNG/RAW converter but how do you install w/i CC 2014 plugins

    Thanks John. I have tried solutions 1 to 3 from (-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.h tml) and they do not work. So I presume that all I can do is to remove all 25 CC applications and start again!
    Incidently, ( http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ ) does not list Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 as an update even though Adobe have announced that it is available (http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/04/camera-raw-8-4-and-dng-converter-8-4-now-a vailable.html). The same applies for Adobe Premiere Pro 7.2.2 (http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2014/04/premiere-pro-cc-7-2-2.html). If they are not available this would explain why I cannot download them but I am very suprised that Adobe didn't mention this when I contacted them.
    Anyway thanks again

  • Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

    i am using mac os x lion 10.7
    problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
    Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
    Please note:
    ☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
    ☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
    ☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

  • Open quantity in Sales Order did not update after cancelling Reserve Invoice

    Client created Credit Memo with reference to Reserve Invoice but this did not update the open quantity in Sales Order. Client is using SAP B1 8.82 PL9. I tested this in SAP 9.0 and still same behavior. Is there a work around other than creating another SO?
    I checked Document Settings and "Reopening Doc by creating credit memo based on Doc" is enabled.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. How will the client be able to make new reserve invoices from the SO? They are trying to make partial reserve invoices from the sales order. I already suggested to just change the quantity in the reserve invoice before adding. But I have doubt because the SO might close prematurely before they complete the quantity in the SO because open quantity is much less then the quantity in SO.
    SO Quantity: 100
    Open Quantity: 40
    Reserve Invoice 1: 60
    Reserve Invoice 2: 40
    SO closes before they can make Reserve Invoice 2

  • ERROR  IN  FILE--XI--RFC SCENARIO.  BAPI  did not UPDATE the DATABASE TABLE

    Hi
    I have created a scenario  FILE -XI- RFC
    File is picked by file adapter  - Its working fine
    I have used BPM
    In RFC side  i used BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE
    Its working fine and return an Invoice Number and Fisical year .
    When i Check this in the R/3 System , in Invoice no Does not Exist .
    Message mapping is ok
    SXMB_MONI all are ok
    Receiver file i got the invoice no and fisical year .
    The Problem is " DATABASE TABLE DID NOT UPDATED "
    So  should i do BAPI_COMMIT seperately ........
    Any solution ................
    VERY VERY URGENT .....
    thanks in advance
    B.Jude

    hi jude,
    Commit Control for Single BAPI Calls
    If you want to use this communication channel to call BAPIs as remote-enabled function modules that change data in the database, set the indicator.
    If executed successfully, the transaction is written to the database by calling the function module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT explicitly. If an error occurs, the transaction is rolled back by BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK.
    The result is determined by the value of the field TYPE in parameter RETURN. If successful, the tables are empty and the values “”, “S”, “I”, and “W” are displayed. All other values are regarded as errors.
    To change this setting, set the indicator BAPI Advanced Mode.
    <b>In the Successful RETURN-TYPE Values table, enter the values that should lead to a successful execution.</b>
    Regards,
    Mandeep Virk

  • I did not update in time, now I have problems and I cannot seem to update ical.

    I did not update in time, now I have problems and I cannot seem to update ical. Can someone help guide me?

    Apple said to update ical. I guess I waited too long because my calendars and all my events disappeared. I tried syncing with my iPhone and it deleted my calendars off my iPhone. Double clicking on a calendar invite does not work either, it won't open or populate my ical. I requested an update through Mobileme to get ical working again and nothing..... It does not appear to want to update or start working again. Is this an issue with Apple ical in general?

  • Solaris 10 u8 system did not update daylight savings time

    I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86, and my system did not update for the daylight savings time change on Nov. 1, 2009. I am in the US/Mountain time zone. What should I do?
    Patch 141517-04 is installed, I assume it came with u8.
    Does this have something to with JAVA Time Zone updater? I saw this:
    http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html
    Shouldn't u8 take care of all this automatically? Do I have to somehow get TZUT 1.3.20? By contacting support? What?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    BTW, I'm running 64-bit Solaris as a VirtualBox (3.0.10) guest VM on a 32-bit WinXP host.

  • I reinstalled iPhoto but events did not update

    I reinstalled iPhoto because I didn't like the photos app. When I did, the events did not update--the last one was April 12. I downloaded my photo stream, thinking that that would get me my most current events, but I just have a mess of photos. How can I get events to recognize everything after April 12?

    Details needed
    1 - what exactly did you do? There is no need to reinstall iPhoto as it is no removed by the OS upgrade - you just launch it form the LaunchPad or the application s folder and use it as before
    2 - what updates did you expect? If you have imported photos into the Photos application then iPhoto knows nothing about them - you have to import them to iPhoto too
    3 - Nothing has changed with PhotoStream what exactly are you seeing?

  • How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

    How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.

    Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.
