"t's pretty much as reliable as the sun: a new iPhone OS update generally leads to at least a handful of issues. But iPhone OS 3.1, which was made available on September 9th, seems worse than most. We've seen tip after tip pour in, and we've watched Apple's support forums grow increasingly ugly with irate iPhone users dealing with horrid battery life, random shut downs and the occasional screen freeze. A few of our own have also experienced some of these quirks, though others have escaped without a scratch. So, we're putting it to you all -- has the latest iPhone update borked your handset? If so, in what way?" - Derrick from Bookmarklet

I had to restore mine after installing it - totally buggered up the little thing. After the restore and subsequent repeat upgrade, it has been working fine... Snow Leopard however, now there is a story I will be telling soon ;) - alphaxion

When I was installing it, it borked, so I had to restore mine too. Then the next day, it wouldn't turn on. I had to do a hard reset. - Derrick

matt is having problems with his. i am not updating it until this is resolved. 3.0.1 for me. - Carlos Ayala

Bought my 3gs last week on the same day the update dropped and it has been working fine. *crosses fingers* - Vicarbott

mine's still chugging along... :-) - Live4Emma (L4S)

I'm holding off on updating mine until they get the kinks worked out of it. - vicster

I bet this is why there is not jailbreak ready for this one yet. - Amani

shut down 3 times in last 3 days :( - Serkan Ünsal

Having shutdown issues here with the 3G model. There is a jailbreak for 3.1 for the 1st Gen and 3G models. I was having issues before and after jailbreak. - Matt Hilton

Matt, is there? I'll have to look for it. I updated my 3G without making sure there was a jailbreak first (or thought I'd be fine without it for a while), but I'm going crazy without my jailbreak apps. I haven't had any issues with 3.1, though. - Jandy

jandy what do u use to jailbreak yours? redsn0w? - Amani from IM

Can't remember what I used last time. redsn0w sounds right. Directions were from a ReadWriteWeb article, I think. - Jandy

New PwnageTool available at http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ - Matt Hilton

lots of shutdown problems on my 3G too. - metalerik

No issues personally. - Stephen Mack

I'm waiting on the Windows version of the jailbreak but I'm freaking that I haven't heard about the problems with 3.1. Maybe I'll wait a bit longer. - Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart from iPhone

I keep having an issue where it won't respond once it's locked. it's also just been so slow since 3.1 too - Simon Tracey from BuddyFeed

Well I downgraded back to 3.0.1 which was a pain, but its seems to be running fine. I'll let you know if the phone continues to shut off. I followed the instructions here and it worked for me on my 3G: http://www.redmondpie.com/downgra... - Matt Hilton

mine clunked out during the upgrade to 3.1...had to do a restore... - Jeffrey Marsh

Bluetooth streaming profile ad2p doesn´t seem to work on my 3.1... - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

Jailbroke mine at 3.1 yesterday. Working well so far. - Matt M (inactive)

which service did u use to jailbreak? - Amani from IM

No problems here - but I don't jailbreak my iPhone. - Bill Sodeman

Amani, I used PwnageTool form the dev blog (listed higher in this conversation). Took a long time, but it worked. - Matt M (inactive)

No, not that i've noticed - Chris Heath

3.1 has screwed up the ordering of podcasts for me - they are now no longer date ordered but in some magical order that only steve knows. date order pretty please - h1ro

I hate the playlist order thing. Please Apple fix this thing soon!! - eyeonpower from iPhone
