Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for novice blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.

The only thing I'll say is you haven't used iOS 5 yet. I'm not saying Android isn't good or better. It's just you are comparing an Android device to iOS 4, not iOS 5. Ice Cream Sandwich is also coming out in a few weeks. So this iOS 5 vs. Android conversation probably should even be taking place right now.

Yes, there are still pain points that we want to see Apple fix, and yes, there are some amazing alternatives to the iPhone 4 out there. But when it comes to the total package -- fit and finish in both software and hardware, performance, app selection, and all of the little details that make a device like this what it is -- we think it's the cream of the current crop.

BYE BYE VISUAL VOICEMAIL

After upgrading to iOS 4.0.0 and now iOS 4.0.2, my wife (3GS) and I (3G) have lost visual voicemail. AT&T informed me through mutliple conversations to try to fix it, that they are aware of the problem but have no idea why its happening. They stated that it is from the iOS4.0.x upgrade and is an Apple issue more than an AT&T issue. Has anyone else had this problem? Why isn't Tipb reporting anything about iOS4 on the 3G? It's horribly slow.

One thing that almost all tech sites have missed about iOS 4 is the way the equalizers now work. Previously, turning on any EQ would result in a good volume increase. Not so anymore. In fact, the volume is decreased when EQ is applied. Some folks over at head-fi.org are stating that the EQs, rather than boosting specific frequencies are actually just reducing the opposing frequencies. For instance, on Treble Booster, instead of boosting treble, they reduce the midrange and bass. The resulting effect is less distortion but the sound isn't as satifying to me. Nor do I like the decrease of volume as I used to use this to boost older material that isn't recorded as loud. I'm hoping that TiPb folks can investigate this more and provide some additional insight.

By: Samuel Layding

Samuel Layding — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 17:00:07 +0000

I am in an interesting situation... I have an iPod Touch 3G, and had it jailbroken on 3.1.3. I used Make it Mine to change my carrier from iPod to iPhone, just as a joke. But now that I have upgraded to iOS 4, I still have it set as iPhone, not iPod. Oddly, this seems to have tricked it into giving me the Airplane Mode setting for it. How weird is that?

I do want to point out: at least for me, if your gmail account is your "exchange/push" account, it will not have "archive" on it but still delete.

Another cool new feature...

When connected to a Bluetooth device, you now have the ability to control the volume in iOS4. The volume slider is there and works. Previously, and still on my iPad, the name of the Bluetooth device would show up in the volume place without the ability to control the volume.

Sorry, no screenshot, forgot to take one when I was connected to my device at home.

Great walkthrough. Regarding persistent wifi you aren't sure that iOS4 on the iphone includes this but I can confirm that it does. Let your iphone go to sleep and you will see that you can keep pinging it, all day. This is unlike iOS3 which would not ping soon after it went to sleep.

Downloaded and installed iOS4 (in Oz here) - bit of drama coz there was a pending (paid) iPhone Unlock on my 3GS and everything ended up hanging. Managed to get the iPhone in recovery mode on the 6th attempt - the unlock code went through followed by the iOS4 "restore". It's a beautiful piece of software, though something is draining my battery at an alarming rate (an approximate 10%/hour!) - any thoughts?

By: JasonB

JasonB — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:47:06 +0000

An update you didn't mention:

In Safari, screen orientation is no longer locked while typing. In previous OS releases, if you tapped a text box (for instance, the address box), whatever screen orientation you were in when you tapped it (be it portrait or landscape), you couldn't change it by turning the iPhone.

This was EXTREMELY irritating for me because I like looking at websites in portrait but I'm much more comfortable typing in landscape. I was very excited to see that Apple had fixed this frustrating function (or lack thereof).

I'm sure many people have discovered the same frustration so I'm sure people would be happy to hear about it!

One thing that is not listed here is the addition of the + sign next to apps in the app store. I was told it means that the app is also compatible with iPad.

Also i'm a little upset that after all this time they still haven't added a feature in to the app store that will indicate if you've already purchased an app before you download it. Sometimes i'll delete an app because it sucks and then later i'll try to download it again to see if it's better. If I make a mistake and pick an app that I didn't buy before then I won't know until it's too late.

You're an idiot if you stayed up waiting for it to be released at midnight or other late hours in the night / morning!

Stupid question, perhaps: Will it come for all Languages/ in all Countrys on 21th? Or does the Germans (and other Countrys) have to wait longer?

No iOS 4 for me... I'm on a first gen iPod Touch. I can totally see why Apple kicked it to the curb though... iOS 3 is slow as it is. But honestly, I think they should wait just one more release. If they're keeping support for the iPhone 3G, which spec-wise is just an iPhone 2G plus a 3G radio and an aGPS chip, then they should keep the iPhone 2G updated as well. And if you do that, keep the first gen touch updated as well- it's the same as a 2nd gen iPod Touch but with the iPhone 2G processor (the same processor used in the 3G.) But don't enable multitasking on the 1st or 2nd gen touch, or the 2G or 3G iPhones as they only have 128 MB of RAM. I've tried multitasking on my 1st gen iPod Touch via jailbreaking and backgrounder, and I could run about... 3 apps at once? The amount of RAM that's not used for the OS itself is pitiful- you need 256 or, preferably, 512 MB or RAM. I was looking to buy the 4th gen iPod Touch when it comes out in September anyways though. I mean, iOS 4 on my first gen iPod Touch would be painful anyway. I'm content.

Great article. Something I'm not clear on: Is it possible to have a different image for the lock screen than for the home screen? Thanks.

These improvements are welcome.

Unfortunately there is a GREAT downside of upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS 4 - the device is almost unresponsive now. Voice recorder launches for 12 seconds, SMS application about 10 seconds, Maps also around 10 seconds. After upgrade if I quit Safari, write a message and return to Safari I always see it reload my Page after 10 second delay (It means Safari was purged due to low-memory condition).

I cannot run several games now (they crash) until I switch Push Messaging off freeing some memory.

It is clear the 128MB memory of iPhone 3G is not enough for these new features. It's a pity, because I cannot boast my iPhone 3G to friends now. It's not cool at all that, if you use any application and you need to reply to a SMS you spend 30 seconds for that??? (3 seconds to type the message, 20 seconds waiting application launch and 7 seconds waiting to switch keyboard layout).

It seems to me the situation is the same as in Apple ads Mac OSX gets "faster and faster" with each update, until you compare your friend's with iBook G4 running Tiger and your Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and you find that amazingly that ancient 5 year old machine does everything way faster! The secret is he did not update it.
