1112354 2010-06-24 01:04:00 I'm on a FS/FS plan with Telecom too, but only ADSL ("Your exchange is due to be upgraded in 2011") - top download speed is about 1.8 m/bit, and I suspect my daughter was watching YouTube clips (or similar) while I was trying to get the upgrade downloaded. MS patches of a similar size are MUCH quicker... johcar (6283)
1112355 2010-06-24 02:31:00 Bummer your experience wasn't the nicest. Neither was mine to be honest, lost everything on the phone, errors all over the show, multiple restores. It was heaps easier to go from 2.X to 3.0 back in the day ... Chilling_Silence (9)
1112356 2010-06-24 07:34:00 You don't wanna have to turn it off. Do you know how long they take to power on? :p

Also, while the iPhone 4 will get "all features", the likes of the 3GS and the 3G will still get most of them. The 3G doesn't support multitasking unless jailbroken.

Im on Big Time and it downloaded in under 20 minutes on my 4m/bit connection ;)


I think multitasking is overrated anyway. It is more a of muiltipause, than true multitasking.

1112357 2010-06-24 10:31:00 Took a while to install and restore all my data, but my 3G is now running iOS 4 - working faster than before. maccrazy (6741)
1112358 2010-06-24 11:42:00 Thanks for that hint, GameJunkie!

I upgraded my 3GS (32GB, 9GB free space) last night.

It took 2 hours + to download the upgrade (and it was only 378MB!!!) and an hour to install, then about three restore/syncs to get it back to usable. For some reason about a dozen of my apps failed to install initially. I still have to try to reinstall the Telecom ipcc file (in the meantime I have manually entered all the APN settings) - iTunes froze on me this morning when I was trying to do it before leaving for work.

However I do like the new look and feel - just not sure about the threaded mail - not as good as Gmail's implementation of same...

I haven't noticed a huge speed gain yet though.


no worries

I don't think it's overrated, it makes working between apps a LOT faster and is what I'd imagine multi-tasking on a mobile phone to be. Although it's largely fast-app switching at work here, there is support for other multi-tasking services (developer.apple.com).

1112360 2010-06-25 07:12:00 I lost all my music and videos when I updated but thankfully the contacts, emails and apps were still there.

Anyhow, the loss in battery is related to (now) wifi being active even when sleeping. I could turn wifi off but now there is Airplane Mode that kills it quicker and seems to re-connect faster to the net when switched off than it does to turn off the wifi. Does the job and certainly easier than turning it off completely.

1112361 2010-06-25 07:40:00 Just started downloading the update. Taking ages. davidmmac (4619)
1112362 2010-06-25 09:51:00 Only just finished, well thats what I thought. An error popped up telling me the connection had timed out :mad:. 3 hours for that

Off to find a download link.

Airplane mode just switches wifi off, because when you enable airplane mode, and go into the wifi section, it is set to off.
