Does your IPhone/ITouch stutter?

Does your IThing frequently stutter when panning/rotating/etc simple apps/pics/sites?

My 3G has acted up ever since I upgraded to OS 3.0. And I regret it. I mean sure copy and paste is awesome but not if my phone is slow as fucking balls compared to OS 2.2.1.
 
When I had a 3G it would do this sometimes, but rarely. When I upgraded to the 3GS it seems like the accelerometer is much more responsive and the transition between portrait and landscape is smooth.
 
My 3G will sometimes NOT rotate at all unless I flip it back to the original position for about 3-4 seconds and then rotate back. This never happened before OS 3.0.

Ever since OS 3.0 came out my 3G has had issues that get annoying. By that I mean horrible battery life if I have PUSH activated especially when talking on the phone or something else that's using the 3G network. Overall battery life is worse with OS 3.0 but when PUSH is turned on the battery gets kicked in the face.

My WiFi drops randomly. My iPhone also gets noticeably warmer then it did with the previous OS with or without PUSH activated.

Another annoying bug I've noticed is that my phone will occasionally "forget" how much charge the phone actually has. Basically my indicator will sometimes constantly says full charge. Plug in the USB or plug into the wall and it says it's full charge even if I'm been using it for the last hour talking. Only way to get it to report the correct charge again is reboot the phone.

Bottom line is Apple needs to fix OS 3.0 because OS 2.2.1 was perfect except for the lack of stuff from OS 3.0. ;)

Stutter when?

It stutters like hell whenever I'm playing any GameLoft games (and has a habit of fading out the music as if I were getting a call)

Other than that, I don't get a stutter.
 
The music over bluetooth on my 3G stutters when unlocking the phone and when losing/finding cell signal (even during the flip between 3G and edge it stutters on playback). It also stutters at times when flipping between screens.

I've resorted to restarting the phone every morning, but this doesn't solve the bluetooth stuttering issues.

pretty much have all the same issues.

I was able to get battery life up to a respectible level by disabling push, but somehow in the last week it started draining like a mofo again. Push is still disabled so I'm not sure whats doing it :(

Apple better fix this crap. I wish I stayed with 2.2.1 now, not worth the copy/paste functionality. (besides clippy worked just fine, if not better)
 
Yes, sometimes on rotation my iPod Touch 1G will stutter. Also sometimes does not flip at all and I have to knock it around a bit.
 
I'm on 2.2.1 on a 2G ipod touch, and I've never seen it stutter in the month I've had it.
 
My 3G did. The 3GS doesn't. The speedup is a lot better than I had expected and well worth the upgrade, for how I use the phone.
 
My iPod Touch 2G stutters on nearly everything I do. Surfing the web, listening to music while looking at pictures, using TweetDeck. My 3GS isn't as bad but it still has the same problems now and then. 3.0 is buggy as heck!
 
my 2G iPHone does shutter however with the 3GS it doesn't. Big dfiference to me!
 
When my gf picked up a 3G last summer/fall, I noticed some certain stuff had "slowdown" or "stutter", even at 2.x. It was my only real disappointment of the phone (render times were pretty slow at times). Then the 3GS came out and I was rather excited about my only problem with the phone being fixed (plus copy/paste finally being included....about time). That said, the 3GS has yet to stutter or slowdown at all. Nice and speedy.

I have a feeling 3.x is being designed for the 3GS and is just being built as backwards compatible, binary wise, for the 2G and 3G models. :(
 
My 3G does all sorts of things now. Doesn't bother rotating or rotates excessively, takes 15 second labor union breaks, text messaging sounds stutter/repeat, doesn't always make a text message sound if the phone is locked, blah. My dad bought the 3GS and that thing is always on the ball. Screen is pretty harsh, though.

I will say, though, that playing music through the iPod player never cuts out. While that's a nice priority, I wish the answer button didn't have a 5 second delay.
 
The 3.0 OS was optimized for the 3GS. The 3.1 update (currently in beta 2) will be tweaked for earlier hardware platforms.

Keep less than 3 pages of apps and you'll have no stutter.

I had no stutter with 6 pages of apps under OS 2.2.1. OS 3.0 brought me stutter. To me that means OS 3.0 is the culprit and Apple needs to fix it.

Then Apple shouldn't allow you to have >3 pages of Apps.

It's a bug (if indeed this is the cause) and it needs to be fixed.

This 3 page crap isn't true. I had 7 pages of apps on my iPhone 3g (including the space hogging Myst) and it didn't stutter.
 
I just want to know who the Einstein was that voted for the '--IPod Touch ' option. :confused: :p
 
i also have a problem with the rotating of the screen sometime, i feel like im going to throw it at someone when im turning it!!
 
Just got a used iPod 1G the other day, upgraded to 3.0, and haven't noticed any stutter so far

Yeah, there are 2 IPod Touches here, and both of them sometimes make you have to battle with the rotation to get an app to flip. (games show that the hardware sensors are working fine... it's just that some apps - including Safari - just don't always want to rotate right away)

The stutter and rotation issues just make the device often feel clunky. Everything I handled last time I was at the Apple Store was the same...
