Upgraded my iphone 3g the other day to the newest firmware, and now I have started to experience problems.
Slow unlock
No name shown on incoming calls
Jumping music
Freezing and random black outs
Looking to downgrade the software to the previous version to make it run a bit smoother.
Any ideas on this topic?
I have googled this topic but I can't find anything other than the beta testing firmware. Hopefully one of you guys know something

unfortunately mate unless you were jailbroken and clicked "make my life easier" in cydia (which saves the SHSH blobs) before, you are stuck on ioS4. Apple stop signing the old firmware as soon as a new firmware comes out to stop people downgrading and jailbreaking it and then upgrading etc. Ridiculous imo

Just JB it and disable Mulit tasking, background wallpaper and battery percentage. That speeded mine up no end.

no probs mate. did u restore from backup or set up as a new phone? some people find it runs better when you set up as a new iphone. Also if the multi tasking is causing problems there is a patch in cydia that disables it.
damn beat me to it

I had endless trouble on a previous big release, may have been 3.0 iirc and battery was lasting half a day etc crashing and after setting up as a new iPhone it was perfect. Read this happens a lot with ios4 as its got many big changes eg multitasking etc that apps/previous settings etc just dont work with at tho mo so causes non stop problems.
