I have 3.0 b5 running, i find my phone is now really slow to respond. If i hit messages (SMS) it takes 4-5 seconds to open up. WHen i hit settings, than general. Another 3-4 seconds.

Is anyone else noticing the phone be slow. I would like to go back to 2.2.1. Any idea how to accomplish?

the 3.0 baseband and the 2.2.1 firmware don't really work well together. As I have read in some other forums, loss of data, 3g not working etc etc are some of problems people face when downgrading......

my advice: wait for beta 6 - things will get better

Beta 5 is honestly the worst iPhone 3.0 beta so far. I have an odd bug on my iPhone lock screen. I've attached a photo showing it. Basically, behind the date and time is a ghost date and time. It's very odd.

charge it! i am sure it will get better

There seems to be quite a few people saying beta 5 is'nt good, but it's been fine for me & my freinds, maybe its got something to do with something else other than the firmware, only a thought.

I gotta say it too i got a factory unlocked phone and 3.0b5 is the worst beta, no icons, slow etc. b4 was better.

People with problems are generally those, who choose to restore from an old backup instead of setting up the phone as a new one.

Already tried it, multiple times, to no avail.
I've let the battery drain, then charge.
However, I still have this odd glitch.
It goes away when I plug it in, but then when I unplug it, it shows the ghost time and date again. Weird, huh?
