APPLE iPHONE 3G owners have reported numerous problems after installing the latest iPhone 3G update software iOS 4. The iPhone 3G is unbearably slow and is giving the users a tough time.

At times it just goes off and switches itself on after a while. This has become order of the day when at least twice of thrice the iPhone 3G goes off with apple logo on screen.

Apple released the iOS 4 a week ago and with that released the new iPhone 4 with the latest OS, iOS 4 which enables multitasking and folder functionality along with a claimed 100 features.

The iPhone 3G has very less memory or RAM as compared to iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, the latest on. The latest OS, iOS 4 runs very fast and smooth on 512 RAM iPhone 4 but clearly is sluggish on iPhone 3G. Many users are wishing to downgrade their device to iPhone OS 3.2 which worked fast on iPhone 3G.
There are some common iPhone 3G problems after iOS 4 update:

1.       The overall performance of the phone is very slow and sluggish.
2.       The iPhone becomes unresponsive if you try to do things fast.
3.       iPhone 3G hangs and the touch screen doesn’t respond for a while.
4.       The selection of contacts or anything even like choosing albums, checking mails, opening SMSes become slow and at times dead.
5.       Folders open but icons won’t work the way they work, the app will be fired but after you have used many buttons. At times it just won’t work.
6.       The device gets hot after you use it for a while.
7.     The iPhone 3G switches off and on on it’s own.

Users are hoping for a fix from Apple to arrive sometime soon.

i have had all but the problem with the phone shutting off and ive taken it to the local apple store twice before the warranty ran out. its fixed for about three months then it starts happening again. one more year on my contract i am never getting another iphone!

I had every single one of those problems after I installed the latest update.grrr

I have not had any of those problems. I did have a problem with restoring the backup after the upgrade but once the upgrade was complete everything has been great.
