MacDailyNews Take: It’s snappy!
Disaster! Trying to update my 3GS in Tiger and it crashed. I’ve done a hard reset and I’m trying to restore the phone but it’s trying to install the new update and has hung at exactly the same place.
I fear I may have a brick on my hands here!
It says it has a proximity issue fix. I hope it fixes the problem I’ve been having. Every 3rd or 4th call my ear mutes the mic and the person on the other end would be going, “hello, jim, hello?”
Does it improve the bettery life of an IPod Touch 2G? It would seems so somewhat so far.
Haven’t tried the 3g to see if it restores some of the v2 snappiness (I saw the hit -particularly the keyboard sluggishness- between 2 & 3 not 3 & 4) when the wife brings it home.
All signs look good, updated the iP 4 without so much as a hickup
Compare and contrast this with the agnst and woe of users attempting to update their various knockoff devices to a newer version of ‘roid,
… on second thought, better not.
Proximity Sensor bug not fixed on my iPhone 4. The proximity sensor is just as bad as ever after installing 4.1. Anyone else having issues or do I have a hardware issue. Thanks in advance!
@Kuipo
Same thing for me, my third gen iPod Touch is on 4.0 and the “update checker” is telling me that this is the current version. Is it because I’m Canadian ?

The proximity sensor seems to be working normally. I was actually able to complete a call without hanging up, muting, conferencing or launching another app! So far, so good.
I do however, wish that there was a way to lock the screen while on the phone, like you pre v4.
…or maybe because I’m still with iTunes 9.2.1 ?
@ Dirty Pierre le Punk–
Put your phone in DFU mode and try again.
@ blah blah blah… and JadisOne,
Thank you for the illumination, it can get pretty dark, and damp, living under this rock..
I was under the impression that iPad was updating to 4.1 first, then 4.2 in November.
I guess my subterranean connection got garbled.. sorry.
Attempted three times now, every time the software finishes downloading, a message tells me that the software has been corrupted.
At first I thought it probably had something to do with the fact I tried to delete 1.7 GB of music at the same time, but it’s happened three times now.
Anyone else having this problem, or know how to get round it? I’ve got an iPhone 4.

When is 4.1.1 coming out!!! I want it now!!!
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
Okay, I’ve now waited for an hour for the restore to work and it hasn’t happened – it’s still stuck in the same place. Let’s see if DFU mode will sort things out.
Meanwhile, a world watches and waits……..
where are the games in game center?
It didn’t work! iTunes told me that the phone couldn’t be restored. What a major league disaster. Looks like it’s a trip to the Apple store for me.
Good job I held onto my first gen iPhone as an emergency back up. At least I can swap the sim card into it and still be good to go phone wise tomorrow. By that Time I’ll know whether it’s just my phone or whether Apple has another PR problem on it’s hands.
Finally the update appeared and now I’m downloading it. An hour later in Canada…

I already had it a week ago. Yeah, it is snappy.
Hooray! Fourth time lucky. It’s worked a charm, HDR seems to work quite nicely, but I can’t figure out how to use Game Centre, anyone know how you find compatible games?
Saved! Plugged into a friend’s intel Mac with snow leopard and it was able to restore my phone. I’m just synching all of my stuff onto it now.
Big thanks to TheMightyFinder for his help!
Snap, Crackle, Pop!.
amazing performance increase with 3G. And now I wonder, how the f..k did Apple think when they released 4.0? If we f..k up 3G everyone will buy iPhone 4 or what? Please explain, someone.
My 3G stopped it’s use of elicit mind altering drugs and is now running in real time! Phrases!
I honestly had no idea there were so many iPhone 3G users still. Will you move to iPhone 4 or 3GS? Glad it helps. On the iPhone 4 I don’t know if it’s snappier….it always was… But it’s more fluid.. When you scroll, it’s smoother.
iOS 4.1 now available for iPod touch 3td generation.
