I firmly believe in NEVER upgrading operating systems or firmware if there isn't a compelling reason to do so.
Stick with what works. Not the newest unproven version, the older one that works perfectly. CJ |

Stupid question, maybe - but have you rebooted it?

I unwittingly did the same (I hadn't heard that OS4 would slow the 3G) I am so hating my phone now. What are my options? No I am NOT buying a new phone. Mine is only a year old.

Friend at work had the same thing happen and she took it to the Genius Bar. They had to wipe the phone completely and re sync it. I don't know which OS they put back on it. It does run fine now.

I downloaded ios4 on my 3g when it was released, and it has been slow as shit ever since. Now I'm trying to figure out how to downgrade, which apparantly Apple doesn't endorse so it's a real pain in the ass. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU Lots of known issues when it comes to 3g and ios4. Works great on my 3gs. |

Yep, the 3G is a sloth with iOS 4. I need to downgrade mine, I gave it to my dad - I doubt he notices the lag. The new iPhone 4, OTOH, is pretty snappy. IMO, it's what the first iPhone should have been. After playing with my original and then 3G iPhone quite a bit, I got into the habit of saving all the old OS restore images that iTunes downloads. I still have my iPhone OS 1.0 restore image
ETA - I just did it. 11 minutes start to finish. Make sure you have the 3.1.3 restore image (file name is iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw) and RecBoot(forces the iPhone to exit the restore mode, since the 4.0 to 3.1.3 downgrade won't finish properly in iTunes - download link at the page that MALT0SE linked to above). Hold down the option key while clicking Restore to be able to select the proper restore image, when it's done it will give you an error and tell you it needs to be restored again. Don't do that, instead launch RecStore Exit and click the button. After that I had to unplug the iPhone and plug it back in, then it re-activates the phone, and if you have a pre-4.0 backup you can restore from that, otherwise you need to set it up as a new iPhone(4.0 backups won't restore to a 3.x phone). And boom, back up and running with 3.1.3 on the 3G! |

Haha. My wife and I were just tonight cussing our iPhones for the exact same thing. (we're both 3G running OS4).
I found a website that said do 2 hard reboots, and close all safari windows, and it will speed things up. I'll be damned if it worked! Try 2 hard reboots (home and power button till you see the apple) and see if it helps you. Edit, see it works. I just typed this reply, and edited it and didn't want to break my phone anymore.

I upgraded to 4.0 and just about jumped off a tall building with my POS phone. I ended up downgrading it back to 3.whatever. Just google "how to downgrade iphone from 4.0"
When I was downgrading I had some compatibility issues with Windows 7 but I had a WinXP computer that the downgrade went smoothly on. If you guys are having troubles getting it worked out after going through the tutorials just shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to help out. |

I downgraded to 3.1.2 when I had my 3g. ios4 was awful on it. It's not terribly difficult, there are a few guides out there (one on lifehacker). I had to use blackra1n to trick it out of DFU mode once I'd downgraded though.

I'm running iOS4 on my jailbroken, unlocked to t-mobile 3g with multitasking enabled. The only time it seems slow is if I have 4 or more apps running in the background.
