This update failed and left my phone unusable. Had to restore and resync from scratch.

Does your compass consistently point 90 degrees the wrong way? I just realized I haven't tested the compass on my 4, but on my 3GS, the compass worked fine except when I was in the car; then, it consistently pointed 90 degrees the wrong way. And 99% of the instances in which I want to know my direction is in the car. Grrrrr.
It seems to consistently point the wrong way, but not always 90 degrees. Sometimes it's 180 (talk about confusing). Right now it's off by 180 degrees while sitting in my office. Also, when I open the compass application it prompts me with a "Compass Interference" message. As a side note, I haven't had any of the reception problems.
I had issues with the compass in my 3GS. At some point I tried to use it to navigate my way back from some convoluted hiking trails. I realized the compass was off just as the battery died in the phone. And the sun began to set.

#24Any word on how this functions on older 3g and 3gs hardware? I've been waiting to upgrade my 3g due to reports of severe slowness on 3g+ios4.
I upgraded my 3g to iOS4 and its barely functioning, constant hangups - do not recommend upgrade. Very highly recommend the iPhone 4 though.
3G is unusable with iOS4 for me too. Only way to keep using it is to close all open Safari tabs and occasionally do the following: hold sleep button until power off screen (swipe) then hold home button until home screen returns.

iOS 4 is significantly worse on my 3G. The phone needs to be restarted a couple times per day. Mail and the SMS app crash pretty regularly and everything is significantly slower to respond. I've helped a few friends downgrade to 3.1.3 since they were having similar problems on the 3G. iOS 4 seems to work just fine on the 3GS however.
On my jailbroken 3G, I use the SBSettings processes option to forcefully kill off processes running in the background (yes, I foolishly enabled multitasking, thinking it would behave sanely; Backgrounder, another jailbroken app, provided this kind of functionality previously, and did so very well) and to force the garbage collector to run; the latter can help significantly. Overall, 4.0 was not a good upgrade for the…
I used similar tools on my 3G with the 3.x series but haven't taken the time or bothered with jailbreaking iOS4. I figured there would be updates relatively soon and wanted to at least give it some time and see how things ran stock. So far I've been really disappointed and I have to agree, 4.0 is not a good upgrade for the 3G. I have to wonder if perhaps Apple should have just made the upgrade unavailable for 3G owners like they've done with the previous generations of the touch.

I have also experienced extreme slowness with ios 4 on 3G. Clearing the safari cache and restarting made things quite a bit faster - but still slower than ios 3.
I remember some reports on Twitter saying a backup-and-restore helped with 3G slowness on iOS4. Worth a shot?

Really? Seems like a bit of a waste. I can only hope there is more to this update.

Didn't work for me.

My iPhone 4 also has two additional issues: 1) The compass points about 90 degrees the wrong way 2) When I plug my phone into my car's auxiliary input and use the phone to make calls, it broadcasts my voice over the speakers, as if it were a microphone. My iPhone 3G didn't do this. Anybody else have these issues?

Yeah, the compass in the 3GS has never worked right. It's just a cheesy gimmick as far as I can tell.

Was about to ask. Even if I'm a couple of metres from my router, my iPad can't reliably hold a connection for longer than a couple of pages while browsing. Then I have to exit to the settings, switch wifi off and on and try again - happens x0 times a night and drives me nuts!
