I am reading a lot about memory usage along with the 4 o/s update. Some are having more problems than others with the slowness, etc and some seem to feel it is connected with he memory usage. I am wondering if anyone has looked at the difference with he problem and memory between the 8gb,16gb and 32gb 3G iphones? I have a 16GB and it has many problems since the update but I don't find as much seemingly as others report. Wondering if it could be more 8gb models are having the memory problems? Curious.
16 GB for me, and I have to report, like you, some problems but not so heavy. All the problems are connected with memory usage, but keep in mind that is not the Flash size that matters, but RAM, and, as far as I know, all the 3G have the same amount of RAM (128 Mb). -

Frankly unless Apple steps up with a fix I don't see any of us happy. We got spoiled with a great devise and now want our happiness back. Just can't figure out how to get there? I was a loyal BB user for years and loved it until I got used to the touch screen and apps of the Iphone. Now it seems hard to go back to being with out it but I may have to as I need a reliable phone. Hoping for a miracle! -
Nov 10, 2010 5:16 AMby blinking,Today, I was speaking to a Mercedes specialist in telephones and in-car electronics for Mercedes vehicles. What he told me has me wondering if the problems with IOS4 go a lot deeper than the problems we have with the iPhone 3G....
What he told me was that the iPhone 3G and 3GS worked fine with the full range of Mercedes in-car systems. However, as soon as the iPhone4 came out they found loads and loads of problems with the software which would prevent the phone from functioning properly (you'd receive a call but could not answer it on hands-free; if you were able to answer it, the signal would cut for no apparent reason; you could not view the address book on the console or use it; nor could you use the text system via the console - all problems which the 3G and 3GS had NOT had). He told me that Mercedes themselves had to add a 'fix' to get the iPhone 4 to work at all and there continue to be loads of their customers who now have a very unreliable phone in their cars.
He strongly advised that if I wanted a reliable in-car system for my Mercedes that I stick with the 3G or 3GS as, in his view, there were some far-reaching problems with the software on the iPhone4.
After hearing that, I'm inclined to agree with cliff, that the problems may run deep enough that they will not be fixed by 4.2. -

This is very interesting. So the problem is that iOS4 has a structural problem somewhere, so it's not our phone which is "old", it's the OS that's "young"!
Let's wait and see. -
