As anyone tried to install the new iOS 4 update yet?
I tried and now I dont have a working phone.
Went through the download/install path and the update stop 1/2 way through. Will have to try and restore the iPhone tonight.
Yep - did mine early this morning after downloading and upgrading iTunes to v9.2 on my iMac, and backing up the phone as instructed.
Worked flawlessly... No halting, apart from the progress bar on the phone remaining almost static for about 4 minutes at one stage - but it kept going without a problem. I assume it was verifying packages at the time.
I luuuuuuuurve iOS4. Here are all of my apps on the one page now. Fantastic. I'm just setting up my VPN connections to work. Multitasking ma have taken a while to come, but it looks to work smarter than any other implementation I've seen in Win, Palm, BB or Android systems. I've yet to see what it does to batteries, but looks and works just great. I also notice that 802.11 performance is tons better - and YouTube just flies again.
yeah took about 90mins but I think a fair bit of that was copying back the music/podcasts - it actually completely formats the device by the look of it during the update.

Don't think so, as I have around 11Gb of music and my whole upgrade took around 8 minutes - but I have no podcasts on the device. I don't assume that would have anything to do with it, but hey - it's a mystery for sure.
I had the same thing happen to me a little while ago.
My iPhone crashed whilst using Google Earth, of all apps. It wouldn't turn off. I had to force a reset and had to resync/restore from backup through iTunes.
I have about 15-20 GB of data on the device and it took about 4 hours to restore everything. Mind you, I have iTunes running on a 5 year old notebook, so, it's slow at the best of times.
Just updated my 3G and all good so far (and updated from a mac)... Functionally it's great but my iPhone 3G is a bit sluggish with this. I'll be buying an iPhone 4 when they're on sale here, and giving my 3G to a friend...
There will be some wrinkles for sure, so expect Apple to put out another update in a month or two, and many app developers likewise.
Updated my 32Gb iPod Touch painlessly on my clunky old work XP PC via iTunes 9.2 - took about 10mins. (Only about 4Gb data to back up though)
Great update - love the Folders

Out of interest, are you guys on Win or OSX machines? Did you upgrade to iTunes v9.2 first?
I have iTunes 9.2 installed 2-3 days ago with Win7. I got home and the iPhone is still attempting to install iOS 4. A message on the screen along the lines of
"Couldnt backup Adrian's iPhone because it couldnt start a session"
I will try again a little later after I have restored my phone .
Sorry to hear that Adrian. This is a pretty big release, so I suppose that there will realistically be a few problems here and there. I know of two colleagues that did theirs today on Vista-based systems and no problems encountered. Do you run a MobileMe account? I do, and everything is backed up there - so phone restores are painless. Not sure if you can have one with a Wndows system though.

I will get it going. I had managed to back up the phone yesterday in anticipation. I have managed to get the phone restored. I am now trying to reinstall iOS4 and it appears to be going faster than this morning. Fingers crossed.
Managed to install iOS4 only took 1hr 10 mins to install. I like the folders option now I can keep all the c**p in its place. Didnt realise how much I had on the phone until I started to sort the apps out into categories.
Now to wait for the iPhone4 to arrive.

PS I cant set the background like the pictures in Chris's posts as I only have the 3G phone not 3GS.
I've been trying to update iTunes for a few weeks now, finishes downloading 100meg and then BOOM, crashes everytime. Grrr.
One more try, then if it fails again try to download 9.2 with installer instead of updating.
Cool, so some of the features that jailbreak users have been enoying for a long time, finally make it to the mainstream. But I shouldn't gloat, it's a step in the right direction.
I haven't had an iPhone for long (less than a month), but coming from a PC background, I was suprised how restrictive Apple had made it. I'm too use to being able to customise things how I wanted, and I hated the fact I couldn't change the iOS little annoyances I discovered apart from waiting for the next release and hoping.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating everyone do it or anything (not that it's illegal) but I think it's a bit of a shame that it takes jailbreaking an iPhone to unleash it's full potential. The amount of fantastic non-Apple approved applications and iOS feature enhancements various developer communities have made, just blows my mind.
For me I'll be waiting for the next release of my preffered jailbreak application to come out before I upgrade to iOS 4. Then we'll see what this release can really do.
