Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
I did a hard reset on mine after updating and it runs fine. Will be getting the iPhone 4 at the end of the month when it's released and the missus will get my 3GS.

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
I have a 3G and upgraded (!) to OS4 - I had to do a reset afterwards cause it was soooooo slow... (click the phone in iTunes and select Restore).
I did a complete restore (and so all my info was deleted - so make sure you back up everything you wanted) and it is working much better.
Still wish I could revert back to the old OS, but seems there is no way.

If you jailbreak your iPhone you can enable multitasking and wallpaper with a simple hack:

Of course, if you were wise and bought an Android based phone, you'd have real multitasking (and with it multi app notifications) by default....

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
Seems I'm not the only one having issues with OS4...today a school called me and my phone wouldn't let me answer, had enough of the many probs myself and others are encountering, time to try and downgrade back to OS3...

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
Seems to me not much different except for the multitasking which is useful.
Web pages do seem to load a tad slower and it refuses to allow me to swipe while waiting. Some apps are now closing of their own will in a way they didn't used to and mt CoPilot Live decided to give up the ghost last weekend.
Grrr

To be quite honest, I would be waiting for Apple to fix the iPhone 4 reception problems before outlaying any cash. Let's hope Apple have rectified this prior to the Aussie release date.

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
Downloaded iOS4 last night - at the second attempt.
Took about two and a half hours to download in total and then another 20 to install etc.
Main difference is the multitasking and the new fornt end to the mail. The multitasking is sooo good - double press on the home button and all the running appes appear - swipe through and access the one you want.
Folders not a real help - far too small to see what's in there!
No obvious glitches and apparently the folders will be updated in due course.

I seem to be spending my whole type going in and closing things down to compensate.
Sure if you occasionally need to flick between things its a bit quicker but I dont see it really doing anything you couldnt do before.
It also seems to of quite heavily impacted the battery life.
Im not convinced by it...

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
Am I missing something with this so called multitasking? all it seems to be is everytime you open anything on the phone, it now creates another link to it which you can access by double clicking on your home button, you eventually end up with everything you ever use down in that task bar type area, surely that cant be enhancing the phones performance??

Re: iphone OS4 - Anyone got it yet?
On a PC when I think of multitasking, I think of what I'm doing now... I have Chrome open with multiple tabs, sometimes some of those tabs take a while to load so I'll flick to another one (for example BE). Then itunes is open, playing music. There's also another couple of applications open doing their job too.
I imagine that on an iphone or other similar device, there isn't such a big need to multitask... particularly if you can open up a new application quickly and get it to do what you want, within a few seconds.
I would guess that people using android phones probably do very little multitasking. But the ability to multitask is probably "nice to have" nonetheless.

Looks like Apple could be recalling the iPhone 4.
