Well what a evening / night. Downloaded the iOS 4 update for my Iphone 3G yesterday and finally got round to trying to update it tonight. Its quiet a big update so have a cup of tea while its downloading.
To begin with I went with the update option as usual but after 3 hours and it reporting to be backing up at exactly the same spot as it was previously decided it was time to get some help.
Using Google and a search related to update times i came across a number of blogs with articles referencing the issue i was having. Below are the steps i tried and the eventual site which saved the day.
- I tried switching to Airplane mode as i had read switching of the data services could work - No luck with this.
- Next up i removed all my images and music on the device having about 1.5 Gb left on my 8 GB device i though this would be a good bet as it should speed up the back time - Once again no luck.
- Next I came across this article on Cultofmac. Basically its says you should restore and update! i would recommend doing a sync before trying this as my phone asked to restore once the update had completed setting it back up nicely as before.
So far i have not really noticed to many changes and i guess this is down to the Iphone 3G being quiet old now. The integrated mail box is surprisingly useful and having threaded messages is a big improvement. Having places in the photo albums is quiet nice as well but you will need a wifi connection unless you want to wait around for Google Maps.
The Telegraph app is the only app which seems to crash at present but i am sure an update will be out soon for it as its one of my favourite news apps.
If anybody has any further tips please post on the comments!
Hi
ReplyDeletejust thought i would post an update. have just installed the latest update along with an update to the Telegraph app - it now works a looks a lot better than before yay.
After the the ios4 update i had noticed a lot of stability issues with my phone, with the browser crashing regularly and issues with it freezing. Hopefully 4.0.1 will solve some of those problems.
