nah if you have a 3g's then you can get a little close but on the 3g it just makes things slower.

Can you explain a little more please?
So are you saying 4.0.1 doesn't do anything for me & I should downgrade to an iOS 3?


Also another problem

WiFi has never worked on my iPhone 3G iOS 4.0.1


I have never been able to connect to the WiFi in my home.
I set up the WiFi at home and know the password. I've never had any difficulty connecting other phones like Blackberry, samsung etc. or any laptop.
The phone is a mates old 3G that he didn't have any problems connecting to WiFi. But he was with o2 on a Data plan. When I took the phone to an o2 shop they said I need a data plan or the WiFi would not work. I thought that was rubbish so I got o2 to unlock it (which they did for free https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?...locking%20Form) and got a GiffGaff sim which I've now got fully working except the internet is so painfully slow that I was hoping that WiFi might be quicker.

Many thanks

all you got with a IOS4 on the 3g was spell checker and folders I think and a slower system.
you carnt revert back to an earlier OS version unless you backed up your SSH blobs and i doubt you did this as its not something you do via i-tunes.

as for you wifi you must be doing something wrong, the charters are case sensitive remember.
i think the o2 shop was referring to wifi hotspots around the country.

OK, if I can't downgrade, I'll ignore that. So how does the spell checker work? If I type guildf a box comes up with guildford in it but when I try to click it doesn't complete the word.

stoopid iPhone doesn't have capslock button


woohoo i think it works now - does it just choose itself whether to use WiFi or 3G?

mine prompts me if there is a wifi signal, tis much quicker than 3G

Yes it does. Make sure that this is set:

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Enable Caps Lock [ON]

Then hitting shift twice toggles caps lock.

stu do you want me to take it off your hands cheap so you don't get any more head aches ?

Press space and it will think you are happy with its selection, if you press it's selection, you're cancelling what it suggests.

Yeah, I knew that was there and had switched it since my faux pas, previosly I was reluctant because I didn't know how it would work & quite liked the initial caps only - thks for explaining how it works

Yeah I think that's for best - say £200?
