Up grading iPhone 3GS to OS4
in [UK Mac]

From: Duncan Kennedy on 7 Jul 2010 10:21 I've been following all the discussion (OK much of it asbout iPhone 4 but I've seen some comments about upgrading iPhone 3). Now that OS4 has been around a bit is there any advice anyone would care to give a new user about accepting the updater offer to upgrade to OS4? (My phone is backed up in the default manner to my Mac Mini each time I plug the one into the other.) -- duncank

I would accept it, but then I have been using 4 since the betas, and wouldn't want to go back to 3.1 -- Woody

Go for it. Loads of apps are getting refreshes for iOS4, so you might find yourself stuck with old releases pretty soon. There doesn't seem to be any downside on the 3GS except for one tiny thing: getting to the iPod controls on the lockscreen needs a doubleclick on a woken screen, so click-doubleclick.

Seems to be fine for my 3GS, apart from one minor issue: double-clicking the home button while the screen is off only wakes up the display (same as single click). It used to bring up the iPod controls as well. You now have to click once, wait for the screen to wake up, then double-click. We're discussing that particular problem in another thread "iOS4: Three clicks to get to the iPod controls at lockscreen?". -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

Thanks everyone - that's good enough for me. (I don't think the 3 clicks problem will be s stopper for me). -- duncank |
