Crashed mine completely, would not restore on my pcand hard resets would not work, had to create a new account on the mrs win7 laptop, download itunes and restore, then restore again back on my own pc.
Seems ok now. |

Is there anyway to downgrade the firmware? I'm fed up with the crappy battery, slowness and crashes on my 2G.

2G here. I seriously DON'T recommend updating. It's been bad for me. Safari now slows down until it crashes quite often, inputting text in forums like this can lag it right out. A lot of Apps are slower. It's quite noticeable on 3D games. Battery life is reduced. I'm quite upset as it's a significant impact on my user experience. I got it for iBooks, but that app is slow and laggy too, with crashes about 'resources'. Folders are good, but not worth what it's done.

I have the 3G one and it's better. I've had the odd freeze but had that before anyway. |

I've jailbroke my 32GB 2G to enable multitaksing and wallpapers, and there's only a few milliseconds lag when compared to iOS 3.0.
I did a clean install, rather than from a backup and my battery has been fine. |

I read you have to jailbreak. Anyone any experience with jailbreaking? I'm out of warranty now anyway.

Careful though; I haven't tried it myself (IOS4 seems to work OK on my ipod touch) - so I can't vouch for it personally. |

Thanks, I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on, it's useless as it is so bricking it won't be a great loss.

I can't quite work out why Apple would a) release an update that patently doesn't work on some machines and b) make it impossible for users to go back to the previous OS. I'm sure they'll patch it fairly soon - but it should never have come out like this in the first place. |

My i-touch worked up until sunday - now it doesn't connect to my computer - itunes doesn't show it in devices - I know it has something to do with the download i did 2 weeks ago the only things on it are music and some games downloaded from itunes, Any ideas on how to fix it?
Cheers. |

Did you have to overclock or anything?
So far so good since I've done it though. When I had wallpapers and multitasking on OS 3.x.x, it was as laggy as hell, but after enabling Apple's solution in iOS 4, there's only the slightest hint of lag and battery life is on par to an unjailbroken 3.x.x touch. |

I personally adore iAds. I think they're the best most unobtrusive adverts ever.
On my iPhone back on iPhone OS3 the adverts would be in the program but would actually take you away from what you were doing. Now the ads are still there (so there's no ACTUAL change at all) other than the fact you stay in your application and can leave the advert at any time to return to what you're doing). Why would you even want the old adverts when you can have the new ones which are the same size, but much less intrusive. |

Due to Apple's rules, you shouldn't even see a placeholder for an iAd in the UK. While the demo of the ad platform did look very good, I'm not sure how you've seen it. |
