iOS4 settings crash

Hello,

I updated my iPhone 3G recently to the golden master version of iOS4, and I noticed a reproducable problem: When going to Settings > General the Settings app crashes and I am returned to the springboard.

I think this problem might be caused by having an iPhone OS3 compatible .mobileconfig loaded.

Is there anyone who experienced this problem and found a way to fix it or is there any way to remove the .mobileconfig when I can't reach General Settings?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 today and I'm seeing the same issue, settings crashes 90% of the time I try to go into it.

If I restart the phone sometimes it lets me in, sometimes not, but even if I do get in, 100% of the time I cannot change my auto-lock to 5 minutes without it crashing or hanging and reverting back to 1 minute. I also can't enable a passcode lock, it asks me to enter the new passcode, but after I do that it just goes back to the settings and its disabled again. 😟

I am having a similar problem. I have a IPhone 3GS and just upgraded to OS4. I have a Google Exchange sync account set up, but my Mail and Calendar apps are not updating correctly. I am not getting a log in error however, just not updating.

Also, when I go into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar, I crash out to the home screen.

I have tried closing all multitasking apps from the menu, resetting via home and off button, and resetting all network settings. I am about to restore now.

I have an iPhone 3G with 3.1.3. and upgraded it to iOS 4.0 but i can't come into settings. When i hit the settingsicon I come in but inside I can't get to general and/or I can not go to the seperated emailsettings under mail, contacts, agenda. When i hit general i am returning to the springboard. I have also do several resets but that wouldn't work.
