Strange 3GS behaviour since iOS4 upgrade

I've searched through the posts here, and can't find reference to the various issues I've experienced since the upgrade 2 days ago:
1. Most of the time, in email, text or Safari, the phone does not toggle back to portrait mode once it gets to landscape (who said there's no lock for landscape mode...anyone want to trade phones?). The only way to get it back is to turn the things off and on a few times (turning it 360 degrees or shaking the heck out of it sure doesn't work). This is VERY annoying and has never happened before.
2. I regularly get a password prompt from home wifi, but then the [CORRECT] password is not accepted. Wifi works perfectly everywhere else, and on the Mac Book, but only about half the time at home. It used to work fine. Anyone else seen this issue?
3. This is one many others seem to have experienced, but the phone & applications run very S-L-O-W & sluggish. It takes noticeably longer to do a lot of things.

it will definitely improve your wallpaper resolution.
as to everything else, i'm not too sure.
i did not notice this kind of degradation you're talking
about on my 3GS or any difference after re-syncing the photos.

  • Strange Finder behaviour since installing Mountain Lion

    I've been experiencing some strange finder behaviour since updating to Mountain Lion. Folders take several seconds to open after clicking on them (and sometimes won't open at all) and files cannot be moved around the desktop or dragged on to an app. However, it is possible to open a file by clicking on it. I've tried re-booting with Snow Leopard and everything seems OK, but as soon as I go back to ML, the problem starts again.

    Library is a folder, not a file. There're more than one Library folders, one at the root and one for each user in your Mac. All of them are hidden, this is why you can't find them. But you can see their contents using
    Finder Menu > Go > Go to Folder
    And then type:
    ~/Library
    for your Library Folder
    -or-
    /Library
    for the root Library folder.

  • Iphone not pushing/pulling mail since iOS4 upgrade

    I have an iphone 3GS and before I upgraded the operating system to iOS4, I had my phone set to automatically pull my mail to my phone. Now, since I upgraded, the phone will not pull my mail. I can click the refresh button, but it will just show connecting and never pull anything. The only way I can make it pull messages is to power the phone down and power back up. Is there anyone who is having this same problem since the upgrade?

    I have found a way to fix this problem. All of the email accounts that you had before the upgrade will have to be deleted and re-added to your phone. That the only way I could get it back to normal.

  • Returned mail messages since ios4 upgrade

    Hello!
    If this has been answered before, I apologize, but I can't find anything on this particular issue. Since my upgrade to iOS4 (I have a 3G 8g iPhone), I have been getting returned mail messages in my AOL inbox from addresses that I have not sent mail to. I have read mail from these places, but not Sent mail. Just last night my aunt sent me a few emails, and said she was getting weird emails back with number codes in them. Does this new upgrade send some type of automatic receipt once you read an email? Is there a way to turn that off? I can't find any info on this at all. Anyone else experiencing this?
    Thanks!!!

    Well, I haven't figured out how it happened, because I only use my phone to check my mail anymore, but somehow my AOL away message was turned on and spam info (pharmacy info) was entered in the data box. So every email that was sent to me received this info back over the last 2 days. I have since turned off the away message, but don't know how it was activated to begin with. I guess it was more an AOL/SPAM issue than having to do with the upgrade....I hope.

  • 3GS wont sync on iTunes since iOS4 upgrade

    Hi,
    Since downloading the new OS my phone will not sync properly and I get the below message :
    'iTunes could not back up the phone because an unknown error occured (-20)'
    Has anyone else had (and fixed) this problem??
    If you fixed it can you let me know how??
    Ta

    I talked to tech support today. They were very helpful. Basically, I had to go and re-download each app even though they show up in my app section. Then I could move them normally. Unfortunately, I think I have lost most of my data.

  • Purple route line in Google Maps continually disappears since iOS4 upgrade

    Since upgrading to iOS4, I've noticed that the purple route line in Google Maps disappears while I'm following a route. I'm not to the destination but suddenly the purple line is gone. Touching the screen usually restores the route. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions to correct it? I had it in both 4.0 and 4.0.1. Where can I report this? I'll post this a MacRumor with a few pics.

    I am having the same problem, and it happened when I upgraded to 4. Just bought a new iPhone 4 (currently running 4.2) and still the same problem.

  • I am getting really strange Finder behaviuors since Lion upgrade!

    Hi
    I have now upgraded all three of my Macs to Lion and there are some weird things going on with Finder.
    My MacBook Air seems fine and the new Finder window looks okay.
    My Mac Mini on the other hand while in general is fine the Finder window is showing the OLD type of dividers in Lisy view!
    My iMac is showing teh Lion type dividers in List view BUT when I change Preferences to New Finder Window Opens Documents, then the left hand Favourites Column disapears, pick most other options and it comes back, pick Documents again and it is gone.
    And yet on my other two Macs, they are set to Documents and are working fine and as expected!
    On my iMac I cannot set a background on one of my monitors!
    Lastly, well for this list anyway, I can not Share Screen of my Mac Mini on ethernet, if I connect to its WiFi address I connect fine.
    On Ethernet, I can access and shre files from the Mac Mini but cannot Share Screen which is kind of important as it does not have a screen attached!!!!!!!!!
    AAahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. Sometimes when you update and do other things files will be corrupted and make the "other" category large. Restoring from backup usually reduce the other .
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • [solved 2] Weird google behaviour since firefox upgrade

    Note that I am using a Mozilla build as the Arch version does not work with my preferred interface language.
    Could somebody with a current version of firefox possibly tell me if https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=cy loads correctly or not? Be ready to close the tab/window if it seems to keep loading over and over, though.
    Note that this will load Google's home page in Welsh so the fact that all the words look funny is expected and not the problem I'm concerned about.
    If it works for others, I'll start troubleshooting but I'd like to know it is just me before I do so.
    The English page works fine. It is really quite odd.

    OK. Not so solved. If I am logged into my google account, certain google pages load and reload and reload. Fast enough that google thinks I'm a badly behaved bot and bans me until I fill in a captcha.
    I can reproduce it with the main search page in other languages (UK English, US English) and with search results pages and with some other google pages but not all.
    The problem is not specific to one machine. I can reproduce it on a Fedora box running a Fedora build of firefox (theirs works in Welsh for some reason though Arch's doesn't).
    Clearing cache and cookies doesn't solve the problem except that it logs me out of my account so the problem only manifests later.

  • Report your Problems since upgrading your iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS4

    Upgrade to iOS4 gave me over 100 new features and some *major bugs*.
    Mostly annoying for me is that the _GPS function isn't working_, following apps are currently not assisting me anymore:
    -Navigon, no GPS signal found, no navigation or fix possible
    -Google Maps, no GPS signal found.
    -RunKeeper, no GPS signal found, no control of my workout
    -SBB Mobile, no GPS signal found, can't locate me and recommend fasted way home
    -HeyWay, no GPS signal found, can't send my location request others
    -iPushIt, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
    -PingChat! 2, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
    -WhatsApp, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
    -search.ch, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
    -GPS MotionX, no GPS signal found, can't send my location
    and many more.
    Which functions don't work for you since you upgraded to iOS4?

    I upgraded to the iOS4 last week and really liked it. I use this extensively for running my business. I'm located 2 1/2 hours away from apple store.
    For a couple of days my phone wasn't reliably ringing. I kept checking to make sure it wasn't on silent and the volume was all the way up, which it was. Then yesterday I went to pick up my phone and it had the Restore Needed message was locked out. I went this morning to restore and I keep getting error 1002. I have been through every suggestion on what to do and still error 1002. I have never modified or done anything to my iPhone. My warranty expired last month. Apple doesn't mention error 1002 and from reading various blogs, when they take it in they have been told a multitude of reasons including water damage but all resulting in saying they had to get a replacement. My phone hasn't been near any water. It hasn't been dropped. But now I have a useless phone. I have reinstalled iTunes, I have turned off firewalls, I have tried restoring from another computer that it worked on before. Anyone else having problems?

  • IOS4 upgrade for my 3GS has bugs...  HELP!

    Since I upgraded to the IOS4 software I'm not able to attach photos from my library to texts and other apps. At times my basic text app quits after I attempt to text a photo. Also, some of my email accounts are not working on my 3GS. It's not until I re-boot the phone that it downloads and displays my emails. Since I use both of these functions all the time, this is a major problem! Any suggestions? Help!

    AT&T confirmed my 3gs was not connecting to the data network anymore and tried soft/hard restarts and even tried several sims to see if they would work.
    It didn't.
    I went to the Apple Store and spoke with several employees who told me I needed a "Genius".
    The intake Service Tech asked me about my i0s4 upgrade and if I had tried to do any restore/restarts and started playing with buttons/settings to check everything else.
    He confirmed "airplane mode" was not activated and then asked if I had re-set the network settings.
    I told him after all the stuff I had done, nowhere was it written or suggested and AT&T never even said anything about the network settings needing to be reset on the device.
    As soon as he reset/restored network settings through the phone, it worked like a champ.
    I don't know if this is a documented software upgrade requirement or a bug in my phone, but it finally fixed my 3G connectivity under iOS4.
    Hopefully, the info can be passed along to AT&T too.

  • IOs4 upgrade, 3gs no longer charges on Altec radio / iPod player

    Ever since my iOs4 upgrade, my 3gs no longer charges on my Altec radio / iPod player.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    No suggestions. Sorry. But to share the pain. 4 must be the Vista of Apple. Since upgrading my 3gs gets physically very warm, which never happened before. I can't leave the phone charging connected to my notebook via a USB cable, which I could always do before: the phone actually drains. The multitasking feature is lousy: every app I run stays on, I can't control what is running unless I physically turn off the app, which is a design defect. How do I return the phone to the old OS unless and until Apple gets its act together?

  • I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

    I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
    Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

    Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
    Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.
