3.1.3 is better
-
iphone 3g on ios4 is driving me crazy for this reason. With sbsettings installed, it gets worse due to memory and I had to get rid of it. Is it safe to go back to 3.1.3 from ios4 while preserving all the backups?
-
You can downgrade with ease, but you will lose your back up as itunes won't let a ios 4 back up on 3.1.3.
-
ok turned off the spotlight it doesnt seem to be moving that much more faster to me
-
I had to downgrade back to 3.1.3 because my 3G was running so slow. It is jailbroken but still runs much slower than it used to. I didn't "restore to new" though, might have something to do with it.
-
also check the below out, works i have used it on several iphones and have noticed a difference.

Please correct post: iPhone 3G on iOS4 vs. iphone 3G on 3.1.3 (not iOS4)! =)

good stuff, just as a heads up to IPHONE HACKS, have you heard of what happened on monday as far as jailbreak and unlock goes? it has been decided in court that it is ok to jailbreak and unlock your iphone. but it will still void the warranty. Dont know if you knew or not

Your simple steps are missing Home Button:
Settings -> General -> Home Button -> Spotlight Search.
I disabled all but apps. We shall see.
-
Thank you Jason. Was wondering what I was doing wrong.
-
Funnily enough mine didn't have the home button option, just Settings->General->Spotlight Search????
-
I did this a long time ago and even removed the launch daemon for spotlight search and it has made the phone incredibly more stable using iPhone 3G iOS4 JB with redsnow and all features enabled. I've installed SbSettings but i have noticed some times when it slows with sbs. but i find it faster than previous iOS's

The new IOS4 is draining current Iphone 3G and the 3GS.
-
Thanks guys my phone is much more crisp. I also turned of location services for things I really don't need like the camera app. Because I don't have iPhoto.
-
Just go buy an iPhone 4...
-
disabling spotlight on iphone 4 doesn't change anything .... well nothing i can see . but i am sure it will drain less battery .
-
Slow performance, battery draining prematurely. Upgrade, Restore, Setup as new phone, Hard Resets, disable this, disable that etc etc etc
This is all beginning to sound like the plot of a very bad movie. These problems with Iphone and have been recurring time and time again now for several years. No soon as you have wasted weeks sorting them out, along comes another Firmare update and you are back to square one again with the same problems.
There are some fundamental design issues with the Iphone and its Upgrade/Restore process and its about time that Apple finally addressed this once and for all.
It should not be Rocket Science for a user to connect his Iphone to his or her computer, start Itunes, be prompted that there is a new Firmware Version, follow the steps and not end up with these bloody hassles everytime.
For christ sakes Apple... sort this bloody thing out once and for all.
I love the concept of the Iphone, but the last 2 years of owning a 3G has been one recurring problem after the other and makes the product next to useless for real time usage.
As it currently stands, after trying all the suggestions, I have a 3G that is as slow as a wet weekend and I am lucky if I get 12 hours battery life out of it.
-
using this "hack" on my 3g for a while and I am very satisfied...like someone said it is running like on 3.1.3
-
Does a big difference on a iPhone 3G, and tap tap revenge 3 doesn't lag any more :))

My 3G running on 4.0.1 is faster then the 3.1.3 in the video. I did a comparison test in sync with the guy doing all of those tests and in every single one, my phone loaded everything faster. When I jailbroke my phone with redsn0w, the only thing I enabled was Cydia. No MT, battery percentage, or background wallpapers. Also, I set up as a new phone rather then restore from backup. I just pulled my contacts from outlook. And lastly I turned off spotlight and location services. Hope this helps

i mentioned this issue awhile back..i really hope this is a REAL SOLUTION to this issue..
i wonder if we had enough people having this issue, someone can actually make a fix for this...aside from having to deselect spotlight features. -

you can make your 3g 4.0/4.0.1 faster by adding the pushfix from iphone modding through cydia . i tried it and its working fine on two 3g phones i had.
