Help! iOS 4 giving my iPhone 3G problems...

Hi, so ever since I upgraded to iOS 4, my iPhone 3G has been "lagging", and it is rather sluggish starting up apps.
Also, the Safari app is not working. It brings me to the History, etc. menu on Safari, but freezes. It may crash too.
I've not had problems with apps themselves (Facebook app works, YouTube works, albeit slowly...).
If you could help me out that would be fantastic! Thanks!

Unfortunately there appears to be no solution.
I have had numerous conversations with Apple staff by phone, email and at two Apple Stores and, whilst they all admit to the problem, no one has a fix. One Apple Store member of staff told me his 3G is "slow as a slug with iOS4" but he didn't mind as he was getting an iPhone 4 the following week.
None of the suggested ideas re: resets, restores, close windows, etc., make the slightest difference. It also appears that the problem is worse on older 3G phones.
Apple have screwed up big time. They would have known about this from beta testing (if they didn't, then they should outsource their beta testing) but they chose not to inform the public.
It's atrocious and I expected better from them.

  • Need help ASAP...iPhone activation problems

    Today i bought two verizon iPhones from the apple store. I activated one just fine but I'm having problems with the other one. I used the upgrade for one of my lines on the account to purchase the other phone. I actually bought this for a friend who will use the iPhone on her own personal account. When I went to the apple store they "activated" the phone but didn't hook it up to the computer for iTunes or anything. Are there any steps I need to take before I give the phone to her so she can have a smooth transition in activating the phone because she lives in another state than I do? Do I have to hook the phone up to iTunes and activate it on my line or no? then switch back to old phone? Phone has never been hooked up to the computer. Need help ASAP please.

    What kind of problems?

  • IOS 5.1 iPhone 4s Problem

    I have updated my iphone 4s with iOS 5.1, now it shows me the the iPhone written screen with slider to unlock. When the phone is unlocked it takes me to Wi-FI networks screen to select available wifi network, post selection of network, it displays Thank you note saying "Your iPhone is set up, You're ready to start using the most advance iOS ever" and having link to Start Using iPhone.
    Once I select Start Using Iphone it displays my home screen just for fraction of seconds and move to the Iphone written Screen again (where we started) and repeats the process again with same stapes.
    I am unable to call or recieve the phone calls.
    Can you please help to resolve the problem?

    Hi Nisar, I had the same problem and contacted support.  The suppervisor had me create a new account on my computer, I then had to restore my phone as a new phone using iTunes in this account and then it was a matter of resyncing everything onto the phone. Make sure everything is backed up on your phone first. Hope this helps, good luck.

  • IOS 8.1 iPhone update problem

    I've just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 8.1 and have lost over 15 GB of storage to "Other".  I've done resets, powered down, etc etc but can't seem to clear the "Other" from the storage thus severely limiting the music, books, etc. that the phone should be able to hold.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks..

  • Ios 8.3/iPhone 6 problem connecting to Pioneer car stereo

    Pioneer model AVH-X2600. 
    There are two ways to connect to my car stereo to play music: iPod mode or Bluetooth.  Prior to 8.3 the BT connection would automatically pause my music after about 10 seconds.  After I push Play on the stereo it would continue on without issue.  Following the 8.3 update, after about 10 seconds on the BT connection there is this awful scratching/skipping noise, not unlike a skipping cd.  But after 5-10 seconds of that, everything is back to normal.
    Prior to 8.3 the iPod mode would take a good 20 secs to connect, but then everything would play normally.  Now, with 8.3, it won't connect at all.
    I don't have any problems with BT connections to other speakers, so maybe this is a Pioneer problem??  Anyone else having this same problem? 

    Apple is messing with car connectivity for the new car functionality. The "updates" are breaking iPod mode on multiple vehicles. iOS 8.4 Beta 1 is even worse. Connects fine but most functionality is broken.
    See this thread:
    ios 8.3 update, now phone can't connect to car stereo

  • Iphone 4 Problem: Please Help!

    After updating to IOS 7, my Iphone 4 will not access the internet (in Safari, Tweetbot, Google Maps, etc.), despite being connected to home wifi. I have tried:
    forgetting the network and re-joining
    renewing the lease
    resetting the network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings)
    restoring the phone to original settings
    None of those solutions have worked. I don't think this is a problem with the ISP (Xfinity), seeing as I have no trouble accessing internet on the wifi via laptop, ipad, video game console, or even an Iphone 4S (which I tried today). I have looked through the forums, but can't find any solid help. I contacted Apple Customer Service, but they told me it would cost $150 to replace the phone (after trying to charge me a $20 service fee) as I am no longer under warranty. Any helpful suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

    hold home/power button for 20-30seconds until apple logo shows.. might not work first time try to do it 2nd time for sure it will turn on again .. make sure you hold home and power at same time for 20-30seconds
    had this problem a lot ! returned iphone 4 im really happy using iphone 3gs again

  • Why does the Battery life of my iPhone 4 doesn't last as long as it used to before updating my software to iOS 6? Can this problem be fixed?

    Hey there,
    I have upgraded the iOS on my iPhone 4 to the iOS 6 and now my battery life doesn't last as long as it use to. I read something about Safari syncing some currupted bookmarks and whatnot. I basically need to know how could I fix this problem. I know that the iphone needs to have a decent perfomance regarding the battery life, since I've had it for less than 6 months now.
    Any help will be appreciated!

  • HT4623 Recently I want to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do it. Don't understand why?

    Recently I wanted to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 following the guidelines closely with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. I felt disappointed as I am looking forward to installing Apps, WeChat, Whats App, etc. I have bought it 2 years ago. I have read the FAQ, mine is the same as many other complaints as in the Settings-General, no "Software Update" appear but we have follow step by step but failed to do so.
    My friend suggested me to visit Apple Store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I just wonder if this problem can be solved.  Kindly advise.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards/Michelle Gee

    You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.
