iPod on 3GS iPhone crashing after iOS4 install

Anyone else having this problem?

Upgrade went smoothly. But I cannot use the ipod on my iPhone. It loads and then quits after a second or two.

I've shut down and restarted my phone, I've even done a hard reset by holding down the power and home button for 10 secs. Still no joy.

Any help is appreciated.

iPhone 3Gs, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi, same here.
Updated my 3GS to iOS 4 a week ago. First everything was fine, but after the first download of a new podcast the ipod app crashes.
Tried all possible solutions discussed in the various forums ( reboot, resync...everything..even restoreimg it completely)
Can play music and all play-lists now, but when i try to open the play-list of any of my podcasts the ipod app crashes and the phone goes back to the home-screen. Any suggestions??
Hope, Apple will fix that soon...am quite angry already.

Had the same problem. Where I might be different is that I had changed my own battery about a month ago after the original seemed to be draining too fast. New battery worked fine, until...

I go to install the 4iOS upgrade and find that the new iOS recognizes that my battery wasn't the original or authorized part. Soooo I have to go through several gyrations with iRecovery (which worked great), just to restore my phone with my new battery.

After I finally was able to restore and get 4iOS working, I then began to have the same problem as everyone here! After a half-dozen re-syncs and restores, I decided to go back and re-install the original battery. Problem solved!

My take is, if you've broken into your phone and joggled anything or replaced anything, there's a chance that the new OS won't like it and crash your iPhone repeatedly. This is obviously just one of who-knows how many causes. Hopefully this helps someone.
