Before I start let me say that I am an Apple Fan. I have been since I started programming on the Apple II
I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4 yesterday.
After a two hour upgrade process I started playing with it and all seems OK initially.
My parents where visiting so we decided to go to IKEA and being that I don't normally drive I thought I'd use the Maps app. Entered the From and To Details and up pops the map and off we go.
Two screens down the road I stop getting map updates however the GPS is still moving. I am in Brisbane, Australia, and have never had an issue with maps before.
I think maybe its an app problem so I close and reopen the app and not only am I not getting a
ny map refreshes but the maps I had are gone as well. Looks like the cache has been flushed. Maybe that's to do with the update that came through.
So, what to do now. I open the web browser thinking i'll use the web version of maps. Safari stalls, or should I say does not respond to touch at all. Absolutely no interaction.
Last resort, shut the phone down and restart. 5 minutes later the phone starts back up open Maps, no joy, open the browser no joy. Give up using the phone for now.
3 hours later get home. Plug the phone into the Mini Mac because the battery is red lining even though I haven't even made a call, suppose location services is still trying to tell me where I am.
Several hours later pick up the phone and start testing thing.
SMS Messages stalls before opening
Contacts Stalls before Opening
Phone Dialer Stalls before opening
Can't get to Task Manager to view running taks. This may be because my home button is starting to fail
Restart the phone as a last resort again several minutes pass before the phone restarts.
Back to the Nexus One I go...
I think this is very much like the Vista Capable debacle. The 3G might be "Capable" but it is not recommended.
Honestly if the only phone you have is an iPhone 3G don't upgrade yet. Let Apple iron out the kinks that come with any new operating system an,d from my experience, there are a few with this one. Glad I'm waiting for the white iPhone 4.
