Finally there’s a piece of good news for iPhone 3G users: an iOS4 fix appears to be on the way.
While iOS4 promised many new features for iPhone 3G users, the OS was more trouble than it was worth for most. Users saw their iPhones grind to a halt, to the degree that they were nearly unusable.
Users had held out hope that Apple’s hasty iOS4.0.1 patch would rectify the problem. Unfortunately for the affected users, the problems were not fixed and running iOS4 remained an unpopular option among iPhone 3G owners.
The problem may end soon, though.
In our tests, it appears that the massive slow-downs that iPhone 3G users experienced with iOS4 could become a thing of the past with Apple’s next software update. Tests with a beta version of Apple’s iOS 4.1 on a well-used 3G suggest that the new OS has increased the phone’s responsiveness. Indeed, apps load much more quickly, text entry is much smoother and the phone no longer slows down beyond the point of usability when more than one browser window is open.
The fix is very welcome, but it brings up an interesting question. Why didn’t Apple catch this issue? It seems like they barely even tested iOS4 on the iPhone3G.
Apple did limit the functionality that iOS4 provides on the iPhone3G, probably for this reason. Yet, even with this reduced functionality, the OS runs so slowly on the device that it verges on unusable. It’s almost as if Apple wanted 3G users to see in vivid detail exactly what they were missing out on because they didn’t upgrade to a newer device: a smooth operating system.
The video below is a parody, but it paints a painfully accurate portrait of what grappling with iOS4.0 on the iPhone3G is like. Before upgrading to iOS4, most apps ran smoothly and crashes were a rare experience. With iOS4, the user experience is much closer to the way this video portrays it.
While iOS4.1 does fix the issue, it forces us to consider when the beta OS will become available for widespread use. While you can download the beta today, it will essentially brick your phone unless it is registered as a developer’s device.
Apple needs to push this update out as quickly as possible. While not as desperate a problem as the iPhone4′s signal reporting problem, this issue still affects tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of users.
The issue probably won’t become the PR nightmare that the deathgrip disaster was, but it’s certainly not looking good. Many users are so sick of the problem that they have downgraded to iOS3.1.3 to make their phones useful again. These users are mad, and the only way to placate them is to fix the issue by releasing this new update.
Thanks to Mahmood Andishmand for helping with the iOS beta.
How slow are the 3G units. I mean, if the people can’t make an emergency call when needed, doesn’t that make Apple a bit liable?
Not that slow, but still slow.
But slow enough that it took longer for it to start playing a ring tone than it takes before a call goes to voice mail. Slow enough that it’s impossible to answer a call as the device locks up for so long when trying to swipe to answer the call that again the call goes to voice mail instead.
Of course, it’s not always quite that bad, but it was this bad for me for about 3 calls in every 5. It also crashes much more often, locks up while typing for many seconds and stutters when playing back music.
Yes, I could have downgraded to the previous OS version, but I’m afraid I’m one of the suckers who Apple convinced to upgrade early to an iPhone 4 instead as a result of effectively wrecking my iPhone 3G
To stops lock-up, the user has to go to power off, but without completing the sequence. When the power-off slider appears, click on cancel. Works about 80 percent of the time. This allows The New York Times app to load.

Actually it is much much slower than the video
to open up messages it takes up to 4 seconds longer than before
i might be dead by the time i can make an emergency call!! its that SLOW! Believe it!
They are very very slow. The video is not fake, that’s actually how crappy it runs.
I am glad to hear this!
I have 4.1. Just as slow.
4.1 or 4.0.1?
How can you have 4.1??? It’s not out yet, haha.
Unless this guy is able to install the iOS betas like I am, he’s not able to get 4.1
I can confirm. IOS 4.0.1 does NOT fix the performance problems. In some cases especially browsing it seems even worse. Wifi is constantly dropping connectivity as well even with a full strength signal. If the next 4.0.x fix doesn’t come out soon to fix this, I’m definitely downgrading. Very frustrating how laggy it is.
4.0.1 does not fix the problem. That is undeniably true. However, it looks like 4.1 does fix the problem, and it will as long as they implement the fixes the beta has.
I’m so glad to hear that Apple has the time to update the 3G iphone because the 3G owners were complainingis, so does the squeaky wheel get all the attention? Meanwhile, their pride and joy, the incredible iPad is still waiting for it’s iOS4 update ????
They already said the iPad will get 4.0 in the fall, it’s still summer. So why the complaining? It is a good thing they are working to fix the issues with the 3G. If they are going to allow 3G users on 4.0, it needs to work. Especially now that they are doing a soft SHSH solution to stop 3g users from downgrading.
Ah… 4.0.1 vs. 4.1… I didn’t note that major rev level difference before complaining. :) Too often updates called x.1 are in fact x.01 and vice versa. I’ll certainly update to 4.1 when available and comment back on my experience.
Seriously my 3GS really is that slow now. The skipping music is a parody but the video for me is real time now
I fully agree with the title! I had iOS4.0.1 running and performed a jailbreak. No performance at all. I downgraded back to OS3.1.3 again (followed the Lifehacker blogpost on downgrading to OS3.1.3. Works fine!). Now my iPhone is running smoothly again.
I tried to downgrade, but then I couldn’t jailbreak it. Redsn0w wouldn’t recognize the older firmware file (seemingly because the firmware is 4.0 specific) so Redsn0w just upped it to 4.0. And crap, even though I deselected folders, wallpaper and multitasking, it enabled all three. The thing works ok sometimes, but like crap most times. Any help is appreciated.
@Mike I followed the directions of this blogpost. No issues! Good luck….http://lifehacker.com/5572003/how-to-downgrade-your-iphone-3gs-from-ios-4-to-ios-313
@Mike I followed the directions of this blogpost. No issues! ….http://lifehacker.com/5572003/how-to-downgrade-your-iphone-3gs-from-ios-4-to-ios-313. I understand jailbreaking version 3.1.3 using iTunes 9.2 is not possible. Have not solved it myself either. Using à machine that does not have iTunes 9.2, maybe?!
You just need the correct version of redsnow. I downgraded a 3G and used 0.9.4 (I believe) to jailbreak. It worked perfectly. Pretty sure all the 0.9.5 versions are for 4.x
IOS4 beta 1 doesn’t fix speed issue with 3G model! Tested and still unresponsive an unstable performance on 3G
iOS 4 beta2 (aka: the beta for iOS4.1)
I think you mean iOS 4.1 beta2.
3G was slow even with 3.x software. It is slow with 4.0 too but I don’t know you guys have noticed that 4.0 can kill the process itself, increasing free amount of RAM. It’s good actually. But 3G is still too slow. It’s annoying!
Shut’up…. please.
Will this update also solve the blackout during call on 3GS?
The above video is not a parody, but reality on my 3G handset!
iOS 4.0 and 4.01 on my 3G has been a nightmare. The parody video on YouTube is spot-on. In addition to the app crashes (almost every app crashes the device if given a chance) and sluggish performance the video shows, the whole device crashes & reboots at least 2-3 times daily without any rhyme or reason. And often I can’t make a call period, the Phone app goes to a white screen forever. And don’t even think about turning on or off your Wi-Fi, lest you have 5-10 minutes while the device crashes & reboots.
I’ve seen tips on Apple support forums saying to reset & restore the device from a backup, and that seems to marginally help for a little while before the nightmare resumes. I’ve also read that resetting network settings helps, again I see marginal improvement and then it quickly decays back into the same problems.
It’s hard not to conclude that QA for this update on the 3G was low priority, and that they’d be perfectly happy for us to buy a iPhone 4 for better performance. I smell a class action lawsuit in their future if the 4.1 update doesn’t fix this and fast. I’ve basically had a brick not a phone for the last few weeks.
Yay, I am even able to answer phones calls at 50% chance, how amazing!!! Great job, apple!
Here’s a good method I used. Erase all content and settings. Restore from backup…install only the apps you’ve used in the last 30 days (probably less than 50% if you’re like me) resync phone and make sure you have at least 1GB of free space after pulling everything back. 3G runs 4.0.1 like normal. Problem solved!
I too have tested the 4.1 beta (now v2) and while it certainly improves the performance on a 3G iPhone I am not ready to agree and say “yes”. The problem is “fix slow iPhone 3G”, is not going to happen. It’s inherent in the hardware, so all our speed comparisons are unfair (but accurate). I think a better thought is:
“Does iOS 4.1 make the iPhone 3G usable”? <- to this I will answer… maybe ;)
iOS beta builds are usually close to that of release builds, so if iOS 4.1 beta 2 can be called nearly acceptable, then there may be hope for the final release allowing iOS 4.1 to run acceptable on 3G iPhone's (and run that much better on 2nd gen iPod Touch's)
It happens on the 3GS too, albeit to a lesser extent.
I have the slow down on the 3GS too, and sometimes the phone is unresponsive for up to 15 seconds.
I think it can be a perfect marketing excuse from Apple. Wow, your iPhone 3G isn’t working with IOS4? Well then you need the iPhone 4, Dummy!
and off course, they sold a lot of 2 year-contracts, which are ending about now
What if you got the 8GB Model like 5 months ago or 7 months ago
Will this fix my problem of not being able to get on wifi? I haven’t been able to since I updated to 4.0.1. I’ve tried everything Apple suggested and nothing worked.
According to some replies on the apple forums, 4.1 does not fix this problem. Question is whether or not it is a software problem. Could be hardware..
Well I think my iphone 3g tops it all. Plug it into my cars head unit usb port, play music, and it skips every now and then. I get confused cuz i think im listening to a cd. My wifes 3gs doesnt do that. Ios4 can suck it
Look no matter what Apple does they will continue to dig their own grave. I mean it does have some great features but white or not the iPhone 4 has major design flaws. Design should never come before function and usability. Apple seems to have forgotten that.
I mean the iPhone 4 held the number one spot in the top ten ranking on pc world. Once Apple gave that press conference they took it down with out explanation. However, http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/ took a look into it. The results are rather interesting.
2-Year-Conracts are not long lasting relationships. If you are looking a one night stand or you already know your girlfriend will change every 2 years, will you choose a smart ugly-looking girl or a sexy wild girl? Design is everything.
I had horrible performance issues with my 3G after upgrading to 4.0 and then to 4.0.1. I found a tip which worked wonders for me:
1. Turn off Spotlight Search: Go to Settings | General | Home Button | Spotlight Search, and uncheck everything
2. Reboot your iPhone 3G: Just a normal power down and restart
3. Turn Spotlight Search back on: Go back to same screen as step 1, and re-check everything you unchecked in Step 1
You can more read about it on my blog:
http://www.davekawalec.com/2010/07/3-steps-to-fix-iphone-3g-slowness-after-ios4-upgrade/
just ridiculous
this is a totally acceptable reaction speed for a stupid cell phone, just compare it to other high end phones out there
taking 1-2 seconds to switch a tab or something is totally normal, people whining should get a life
No, actually the speed is not acceptable. With IOS3x, simple tasks like sliding your finger across an email and hitting delete was instant. Now, with IOS 4.0.1, I have slide my finger 2 or 3 times before the delete button appears, then when I click delete, the button goes dark, the phone sits frozen for up to 20 seconds before the delete occurs. Apps like the Storm8 games for instance, when launched will take 2 to 3 times longer to load and most often throw a ‘Network Connection Error’ before launching. The time delay and timeouts on the 3G are definitely NOT acceptable for general use. If iPhone had been of this poor performance when it was initially came out, it would have NEVER sold in the volume that it has.
I have use the iOS 4.1,according to me iOS doesn’t sort out the problem slow iPhone 3G units.
Unless you are an Apple developer, you do not have 4.1. You have 4.0.1. In order to write this post, I had to talk to an Apple developer, who added me to his account.
I don’t understand why users bother getting developers to add them to their account. They, in no way test the OS. I myself am a developer and the BETA versions of any iOS to date have always been buggy and not ideal for the device’s primary use.
If you’re a developer, the BETA version is good if you want to get a step ahead of other developers and implement new features which aren’t publicly released. If you’re not a developer, stop wasting your time and wait for the official release.
My iphone 3g is so slow I’m pissed off like crazy! I only had it a year and it’s like an old piece of crap I really hope they do something.
My iPhone 3G is still very slow and is slowly responding.. I’m using the dev version of iOS4.1
I find that using the app “MemoryInfo” from the AppStore alleviates these problems. It is not, however, a permanent fix. I NEED 4.1. Like now.

Since I updated to 4.0 & now 4.1 my iphone 3G or 3GS will not charge when plugged into my Pioneer AVIC 700-BT in my car thus making it no longer hands free safe ! is there anyway to get it back. Apple never responded to my query ?
It slows the phone, but does it have any other negative effects on the previous version? I saw a photo on the internet about the old BB model upgrade to the 6.0 but it toasted the phone. Just not sure if it is true.
Read much? Do you not see the part where people are saying they cannot answere a call…. and in my 4.0.1 experience have a hard time just making a call. What if I am in an emergency situation where I do need to make a 911 call, you would suggest that this is acceptable, jeeze! It’s also not acceptable because the previous incarnation of the software 3.1.3 works perfectly fine, and apple does not make it simple to downgrade for the average user, would you know how to reset the IPSW. Stop whining? Really? You can keep your low standards. Now go buy your high end high def TV and just hook it up to a set of rabbit ears (since performance is meaningless to someone such as yourself).
Thanks @Jacob for this info.
I tried this on my 3G and 3GS and it worked for me. Now my iPhone is little bit speedy.
Settings -> General -> (Home Button – only 3G) -> Spotlight Search -> Deselect All Options. This will stop background indexing on phone.

Thanks.
Ever since I upgraded my 3g to the newer 4.0 and 4.01 my i pone is no longer a usable phone and I am thinking of going back to my old motorola razor that actually worked. I used to be proud to share my iphones capabilities with others, but that no longer works, I no longer want to admit to anyone that I have an iphone. Apps don’t work, locks up, I can’t even turn it off sometimes. I now leave it home, alone. Just think I sent an email to apple asking for their help and never a response or acknowledgement. If the next fix does not work, i think I will have hit a wall with loyalty to Apple. I hope my imac does not catch the same illness?
Text editing of a “long” 29 kB file in MobileStudio and iFiles became very slow under iOS 4.01 on my 3G. Capital letters took 10 to 20 seconds EACH! I did the LifeHacker rollback to 3.1.3 and all is okay again. Make sure you use RecBoot 4.2 for Windows and the latest iTunes to get the USB connection to work properly.
P.S. When you download the firmware .ipsw file Windows will rename it to .zip without notification. Just rename it back to .ipsw. e.g. iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw is the right one for the 3G. (Oops, I meant RecBoot 1.2 in previous post.)
I just unlocked my iPhone 3G in iTunes (I purchased an official unlock) and I must say the darn thing feels alot smoother after the carrier update. See if it lasts…
@Sander,
I had initially followed that LifeHacker post in my initial attempt. Just tried again and ran into the same problem that Redsn0w 9.4 or 9.5 wouldn’t recognize anything but the OS4 firmware. So I said, “F this” and tried http://www.jailbreakme.com which worked like a charm. Then I had 3.13 jailbroken and used the newest Ultrasn0w to unlock and it worked like a charm. I have a real iPhone again.
just downgraded back to 3.1.3 on my 3G, so relieved to see my problems might be rectified in 4.1.
I was considering upgrading to iPhone 4 but after what Apple did to my 3G I think it is time to jump to Verision BlackBerry or Droid. I am sick of Apple treating me like a second class customer because I haven’t jumped to the latest device.
The video is a parody of the advert, *not* an exaggeration of the problem itself. The problem is AT LEAST that bad for some people. I use a 3G as my secondary/work phone (my primary is Android forever, man), and it is definitely getting the downgrade treatment when I can be bothered with it. I’m actually considering throwing this troublesome gadget away – it never has lived up to the hype, and 4/4.0.1 is only the latest problem.
Mine was that slow. I would miss calls because the thing wouldn’t pick up. *click* call missed. I found that removing all of my synced media sped things up a little bit…but…this is an iPhone, its supposed to have music! right?
I have now returned to 3.1.3, and I’m staying with it until all evidence points to a stable new firmware release beyond 4.0.1.
In contrast, each new Android release just gets faster and better…
Very slow indeed!
Typing is usually the most irritable thing i have to do on the phone.
It’s like I’m playing WoW on a Pentium II processor!
The video isn’t a parody, it’s apt. It’s absolutely correct, mine is even worse at times (if you are playing a song, it cannot cope with receiving a call and rejects the call, crashes the MP3 player).
I won’t upgrade to iPhone 4, just to wait for the same thing to happen.. forced into an upgrade..
do they plan to fix the slowness issue of the 3g with an overclock to the processor?
@ Vagos : That would be a bad idea for a number of reasons, not least of all because of the additional battery drain this would entail. Nobody (sane) could claim that their 3G battery lasts long enough as it is.
Tweaking the engine isn’t going to get over a flat tire; overclocking the processor would likely produce only negligible results, and it might even introduce more problems.
FUCK YOURSELF apple. I have the right to say it. I pay 700 € euro in year 2008, and make myself contract with telefonica Spain to have the iPhone 3g.

So I use this phone for work and I’m starting to miss so many calls it’s effecting my job. Good work Apple. Why haven’t you enabled rollback for people effected by this while you figure out what’s wrong?
Apple did that on purpose. they want all 3g owners to buy iPhone 4. This is also why they take so much time to fix the issue and why they have disabled downgrade. iPhone 4 is really great btw. It has really great features like facetime so you can now do a video conf with someone connected to the same wifi router than you, i.e. less than 100 ft away from you. I think apple have hired the guys that did Vista. 4.0.1 = update to prevent a security flow… well yeah that’s it it. apple is definitely the new microsoft.
What Facetime are you talking about? It doesn’t need to be on the same wifi at all. I’ve been doing international Facetime calls since I got the iPhone4. It’s more mobile than sitting at a computer on Skype, still free and the video quality improves on what you can do in Skype as well. Your comments are unfounded.
Apple bashers are officially more annoying than the fanboys.
hmm… international calls? Not to France because facetime only works over wifi here. anyway, my point is that i don’t need any of the iPhone 4 features and don’t want to buy it. just want to keep using my “old” iPhone 3G which is almost impossible now.
FaceTime only works via Wi-Fi, yes, but it’s still over the internet, so you’re not limited to the same Wi-Fi network.
True. I must admit I was misinformed on this one
LOL dude are you even being serious?
Facetime works over a VOIP client so you can call someone over facetime wherever they are in the world as long as they are connected to wifi! Its just like skype but on your phone!
Class Action time!!!!! Imagine nokia FORCED people to use a charter that made their phone crash and miss calls?? Lawsuit!!
Lost calls, unusable device, lost business, forced upgrade that is faulty! LAWSUIT!!!

My 3G works way slower than the one in the “parody” video.
My iPhone 3g crashes during video so I can’t tell. All I know is I’m so mad, I hate this phone and am stuck in a fairly new contract all because they want people to upgrade? Apps crash all the time now, phone freezes for 10-30 seconds at a time all the time, notes erase themselves and show original messages but the title shows the new message, wierd freaky crap is happening and I want an Eco or stood now. Apple showed their true colors
That was supposed to be evo or droid
I have a horrible suspicion that at least part of the issue is related to a baseband update, as I am back on a 3.x firmware but everything is noticeably less quick and smooth than it used to be. It seems that some ghost of 4.0/4.0.1 has been left in the shell. :(
I’m quite annoyed with myself for having updated to 4.0 without doing a little more research. Being my work phone, it has been proven inconvenient rather inconvenient. I suppose I might have been more bothered if my work phone had ever been particularly useful; at best, it has only ever been a toy compared to my Android.
T’ is a good thing I upgraded my personal phone. Now my old G1 can take over as a reliable workhorse while I get to grips with upcoming FroYo updates for the Galaxy S.
I certainly shan’t be trading the 3G for a ceramic-and-metal brick any time soon. I’ll probably just turn it into a wireless AP for my laptop, and if 4.1 reviews well, I’ll consider updating later.
Read carefully
I should read my own comments before I post – my typography is degenerating rapidly with age, methinks.
@ Scott : Pardon me if I missed something. Care to point it out? :S
Just upgrade to 4.1, seems it’s faster. don’t know if the speed can last long ..
The phone is slow as compared to the iPhone 3G running 3.1.3 firmware, I have tested the ios4.0 on my iPhone 3G and I much prefer the 3.1.3 as it is more stable on the iPhone 3G. Anyhow, the iOS 4.0 and 4.1 does not bring the iPhone 3G any spectacular features so I guess there is no point to update it at all.
This is a marketing play by Apple. With the OS 4 update, they are trying to get people to upgrade to iPhone 4. They have the technological sophistication to address the slower processor in the 3G quite easiliy. However, they are actively trying to “phase this device out”.

However they are actively trying to “phase” this device out, rather than letting the people decide if and when, they want to upgrade to the iPhone 4. I have always been apprehensive about proprietary architectures such as the iPhone and this simply validates their manipulative, corporate profitability-driven intentions.
I fucking hate my piece of shit iphone and regret ever buying it.
Seriously, anybody considering, DONT.
They are slow, shitty, buggy machines with no customization and
no power given to the user. If you don’t use it apples way, you don’t use it at all.
Testing 3 2 1
Apple did limit the functionality that iOS4 provides on the iPhone3G, probably for this reason. Yet, even with this reduced functionality, the OS runs so slowly on the device that it verges on unusable.
Sorry, but 4.1 does not solve all of the 3G slowdown problems. Mine is still laggy as hell – it’s embarassing and I’m not showing my phone off anymore like I used to. It wouldn’t be so bad except I bought the 3G new from the Apple store in February of 2010 – so I can’t even upgrade for a reasonable price. This is absurd – hello, Android!
Just turn off all the Spotlight options in General -> Security -> Spotlight. The phone will be twice as fast.
ios 4.1 didn’t do anything to speed up my iPhone 3G. It still runs soooooo slooooooowwwwwllyy that I want to throw it against the wall. And it drains my batter in half a day! Come on Apple. You can do better.
Lol my iPhone 4 runs the same as the phone in the video ever since I Jailbroke it and installed silly trash to customise the os. Seriously this is a great phone and the Jb makes it better, but apple should make the iOS more customizable. By allowing wallpapers they did, but they should do more like allow themes.
The video IS NOT A PARODY.
My iPhone works like the one shown on it.
It is a shame.
