3GS here

Didn't lose music, but I can't listen to I Heart Radio and open email at the same time. Will play iPod feature and check email however. Didn't lose music,

Multitasking for updated apps (Evernote, Pandora) works well. Standard IPOD controls for supported apps (Pandora.). 'Trash to Archive' for gmail/gapps accounts.

I've been running a developer copy of iOS 4 on a 3GS for a couple weeks now, nice and stable, no issues.

Digital zoom actually works well for macro shots. Cotton weave up close:

Lost my songs, apps, google email accounts, and for some reason, it downloading every email I ever got since owning it. Not sure about the multi eamil set up. What's the point? Says I have about 5k emails to download on my Bellsouth email accounts, which I've seen and deleted ages ago. An anti-spam feature would be nice. It's caught on my laptop, but is sent to my phone.

Of course the main problem is my battery or something died. It only works when plugged in and and even then sparadically (sp?). Apple is sending me a new phone, BUT if there is ANY moisture detected, then the extended warranty is voided and they charge my card for a new phone. It's never been wet, etc., but working outside, I sweat all over it during the summer. If they charge me, the new one might be going back depending on price. I can get a new 3G at AT&T for $99. One of the moisture strips is exposed at the bottom of the phone where you plug your cord in. The other is inside the headphone jack. Not sure if there is one inside.

Not good, the upgrade hung itunes... It put everything back when I retried, but made my 3G waaay slower and the apps are crashing. :(
Don't upgrade wait for 4.1 or 4.2

no issues at all, 3GS.

I did my 3GS last nite and like the folder thing as well as the email inbox/account screen. So far I don't see the multitasking as a big deal except for Pandora. Most other apps I use are interactive and have no purpose/benefit running in the background.

I may bail-out on picking up my 4 on Thursday and just mail order one. Unfortunately delivery was not presented as an option when I pre-ordered it, although I guess it was an option for a bunch of other people.

Upgraded my 3G yesterday and jailbroke with Redsn0w. Multitasking running just fine with Pandora and iPod. Going to try to unlock today. Then I will sell and use the money for the iPhone 4 upgrade.

seems ok but how do you get the tethering to work?

jyl 06-23-2010 05:17 AM

Hmm, seems like I'm waiting for v2

Call AT&T and tell them that you want to change your data plan to pay $20 bucks a month for the ability to use the functionality that is built in!!! By the way you will not get any additional data. That really chaps my a$$!!!! No wonder people jailbreak their phone!!!!

Drag one app that you want it a folder on top of another app that you want in the same folder... Viola... Folder created....

Got it, thanks. Not much of a change for the 3G, looks like an upgrade is in the future.

Well, been using it a few days now and the only thing so far is that it downloads my emails over and over again. The same email just gets added to the 'thread' with the same subject - it's strange. I have the iphone leave the email up there on the server. My computer, which is my primary email device leaves it up there for 10 days and then takes it down (overly cautious safety precaution in case my computer dies - habit I started years ago).

widgeon13 06-25-2010 09:33 AM

Definitely seems more trouble than it's worth for the 3G. I have two messages (no content whatsoever) that just keep reappearing and I can't edit/ highlight to delete. Any recommendations for eliminating would be appreciated.

They disappear for a while when I sync and then reappear. PITA, guess I'll have to get new iphone4 to make them go away permanently.

Last weekend I was at a Grid Computing conference in Chicago and probably 90% of the attendees (academic types) were sporting Apple hardware. The hotel WiFi took a hit as 100 or so folks were all eagerly downloading OS4. Three guys in my working group updated their iPhone OS and 2 of them experienced crashing, flickering screens, and similar bad behavior. Took them all day to get it all sorted. So much for the bug free Apple experience...

I updated my wife's new bootrom 3GS. I thought it was problem free until a few days ago the emails stopped being readable. The emails would come through and be previewed but when opened the text was not visible.

I restored iOS4 - same issue.

Rebooted 4-5 times and now it works.

I am a big Apple fan but everytime I hear 'Apple just works' I shake my head and think to myself 'newbie'.

Apple makes plenty of mistakes, the faithful choose to give them a pass most of the time.

Had to reboot my iPad this morning - it locked up 20 seconds after I woke it up.

What do you mean by "reboot" are you reloading the entire iOS4?

gr8fl4porsche 06-25-2010 01:25 PM

Reloaded iOS4 (1) time.

To reboot, you press the power button and home button at the same time and hold them until the little white apple shows up - then release.
