I've had mine set to delete from server, but it never has, but it doesn't continually redownload them, either. One time deal, once they've been downloaded to the iPhone, they don't show up again on the iPhone (they obviously still will be downloaded on my mail client, though, at which point, then they're pulled off the server).

The email threading is cool, but laggy menus/laggy navigaion/just plain laggy performance is a FAIL imo.

but i can't complain on the overall package of the ios4 so the small delay is no biggie.

do a hard reset twice, the lag should go away.

The problem is, it DOESN'T fetch every 15 minutes like it is supposed to! It only checks for mail when I launch the app and select any of the inbox options. Only then does it check for mail. If I'm on the "Mailboxes" screen and press the "refresh" icon in the lower left, it doesn't do anything. As a matter of fact, the refresh button doesn't work at all, on any email screen. WTF?

Did you setup as a new phone or restore from a backup?

Get your contacts off of itunes. use either MobileMe or Google Contacts. Ill let you guess which one is free.

I just ran through the update process through iTunes, so I guess it restored the data after the OS install?

So I went from 3GS OS 3.1.2 --> 3GS OS 4.0 (8A293)

awe

if you hadn't done a legit upgrade you could've JB/unlocked it!

I take back what I said previously about using the restore feature helping with the lag. Less than a day later it was slow again.

I used the steps in the link below to revert back to OS 3.1.3 and it works great again. It is simple but just as time consuming as other OS updates. Just watch the two videos in the post and it's easy. Unless you have a pre-4.0 backup you will have to reload everything on the phone like it was new so copy anything not specifically stored in iTunes.

i already upgraded my phone to regular OS 4, then decided to jailbreak it today.

I used snowbreeze 1.7 and made a custom ipsw file, put my iphone in DFU mode as instructed, connected to itunes, and tried to restore. It gives me an error, "this iphone could not be restored" the number is 1600. Any idea what's going on?

This is pretty urgent because I now have an expensive paperweight sitting on my desk.

thanks for any help!

TBH... since you went to an OEM iOS4
I would say you shouldn't try to jailbreak

tethered JB sucks

To get your phone working:
if u want to attempt a JB again..
Enter DFU mode (you seem to be in it already)
Download the Sinful Custom ipsw
do an option restore using that ipsw

now, if that stillll fails
then it seems your only bet is to get back on OEM OS4

DFU mode->Restore normally using apple's ipsw

if you had a mac, you could try quickpwn to enter DFU mode easier

error 1600 usually related to a bad ipsw or one that is incompatible to your iPhone (whether it's due to software or hardware, or just a plain bad ipsw)

good luck

thanks! i used redsn0w and now it's jailbroken. what's the difference between tethered and untethered?

Is anyone having issues with the proximity sensor?

Some early adopters of the iPhone 4 say they have experienced poor performance from the handset's proximity sensor, which turns off the touchscreen when the device is held against one's ear during a call.

I used to have that a while back

it's hardware

take it in if you're under warranty

with tethered, if you turn the phone off, you have to connect it to a computer again

it's hell

oh wow, that sounds terrible

but mine doesn't have that problem. it does take a hell of a long time to start up now. (at least 3 or 4 minutes...) (it used to be like 50 seconds)

that is a huge issue

you made a huge mistake making the IPSW

meaning you either A) downloaded and loaded too much or B) it's somewhat corrupted

a 3GS should never take more than a minute..... except a few times it might take a while due to it clearing everything, but not every time

how long does it take you to respring?
