I have an iPhone 3GS. Until the Update yesterday, the 4.1.3 App (and previous versions) worked well. Now, after the 4.2 update, this thing is INCREDIBLY SLOW AND SLUGGISH (The GC App, nothing else on the iPhone).
I worked with it last night, grabbing a few caches, but this was BEYOND annoying and unsettling.
HOW do i DOWNGRADE back to 4.1.3? I like the "improved graphics", but the FUNCTIONALITY has taken a MAJOR hit with the "support for the Retina display". iPhone 3GS doesn't obviously have the Retina display, and i can't imagine what it's gonna run like on an iPhone 3G, which is slower than the 3GS.
IF there's an OPTION for "Hi-Res" vs. "Low-Res", that would be good. After trying to do 5 caches last night, i wanted to delete the app off my phone and just try to use the Safari Browser.
I know it's hard to support everything, and it's even harder to please everyone.
The only thing I have to Geocache with is my iPhone (Unless i do it old-school, and thats not why i paid for the GC App).
Maybe others have had better luck with it.... maybe.
I have a 3GS with iOS 4.1 and I haven' noticed any significant slowness since upgrading a few days ago. What parts of the app are slow to you? initial loading? searching? pulling up details for a cache? (all the above? :^) did you reboot your phone after installing?
Yes, I rebooted / power-cycled my iPhone after the install. I researched how to downgrade apps, and even tried to follow the instructions for that, however because the 4.1.3 app was already out of my Recycle Bin (Windows), i tried to use my wife's 4.1.3 (Copied from her iTunes library).
Since it wasn't "mine" (bought on my iTunes account), it didn't work.
So i completely removed the 4.2 app from my iPhone.... and re-downloaded it.
All my settings, favorites, everything... gone.
I haven't tried it since that point except for looking up a couple GC's... but no finds as i was busy all day Thursday.
Will try it more today.... but it's been frustrating since it all worked and i had all the data before i updated to 4.2.
