I had such a horribly frustrating time with my 3G iPhone having installed the new iOS4 download. Hanging, crashing and sluggish, the phone was very nearly thrown to the pavement several times.

This evening I backed up my iPhone (sync with iTunes as normal).

• Then hit the restore button
• Followed prompts
• Restore failed :crazy:
• Restart machine
• Restore failed :crazy:
•*Updating iPhone
•*Progress bar creeps along
•*Success - all reinstated and the iPhone is back up to normal speed :thumb:

WARNING
I very nearly booked an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar since during this process, my iPhone was out of action. It looked like there was no way of fixing the thing and started to regret the 'restore' procedure.

But it worked in the end!
:bannana:


The small print: This is not Apple approved advice - your iPhone is at risk if you do not keep up repayments or any other loan secured on it. Prices can go up as well as down. Do not eat yellow snow.
