Right when I upgraded to 4.1 my WiFi started going On/Off/On/Off over and over.
the phone itself worked smoother, but at the Expense of my WiFi..
1st I Reset all my Network settings=no help
2nd I JUST Reset my Whole Iphone= No Help
.. I guess we ALL need to email apple and get them to fix it in the next year or so..
… I so wish they’d FIX their new iphone4 antenna issue, then I’d give up my 3G.
Otherwise I’ll have to wait for the newer iphone
( and NO, their bumper guard on their screwed up iphone4 is No Fix )

From a subjective point of view, iPhone takes its time to load things, above all searches, but it’s nothing you couldn’t live with. All animations are smooth, though.

Neither are being used as phones. On an app by app basis, most games appear to be just as responsive on both. Movies and music play back the same on both. So as a media device, 4.1 is just fine for my needs. If you are using the phone, sms, contacts, calendar, and mail (core apps), I will have to defer to those that are using the 3G in a similar manner. It appears that many that are still using the 3G as their primary phone have opted to stay on 3.1.3 a little while longer. If you have 4.0.2, on a 3G at least, I would recommend updating to 4.1. 4.1 does appear to perform better than 4.0.2 on the iPhone 3G.

My question to you; if you were running 3.1.3 on a 3G, would you upgrade to 4.1 for the extra features? Is the performance different a reasonable payoff? Thanks!

However, when I went to backup to upgrade to iOS 4, I experienced the same problem with because I hadn’t backed up my 3g for a few months. It was taking over 2 hrs just to get about half way through the backup process.

What I ended up doing was just resetting to factory defaults, then upgrading. That speed up the backup and synch process considerably.

The drawback was that I had to manually add my apps and media (music, vids, ..) on my next synch. If you play games, you will also lose some data (such as levels reached …). You can also try restoring from a previous backup.

If you have alot of new photos on the phone and you use a mac, use iPhoto to back them up/add them to your computer before you reset or restore.

It feels faster, switching from home screen to home screen is more smooth and responsive. Some apps seem to load faster and backup/synch is much faster.

It’s nowhere as fast or responsive as my iPhone 4, but still a noticeable improvement over 4.0.
