iPhone 3G 3.1.3 – Hipstamatic and General Performance Issues

Horrified by the reports of still sluggish performance on 3G with iOS 4.0.2, I have still not yet upgraded to iOS4 from 3.1.3.
Not that there aren’t still issues.
1.) Hipstamatic stopped running properly several months ago, and no update has fixed the issue of it hanging on the yellowing printing light stage. It is basically inoperational.
FIX: go to settings > applications: Hipstamatic, and turn off metadata. Voilà. Functionality returned. Too bad about the metadata, but a camera that doesn’t take pictures is a camera that fails at life.
2.) General Performance Issues – while looking up whether I should upgrade to 4.0.2, I ran across some forum posts that recommend to go to settings > general > home > search results, and uncheck eveything. I did that and I think it is helping, at least mildly.

Yup, I have a 3G too and have avoided iOS4.
Has the Facebook app also stopped working for you? Also, could you actually uncheck everything in Search Results? On 3.1.2 I had to leave at least one selected…

Facebook seems to be working still. And no, i think I had to leave one thing checked as well.
