A while ago, we wrote about a way to shorten the time that your iPhone running the 2.0 software takes to sync. In this method, you cancelled the part of the sync in which your iPhone was backed up. While this most certainly does improve sync times, you won’t be happy with yourself when you’re forced to restore your iPhone and you don’t have that backup.
However, iPhoneFreak has discovered another way to improve your times. By default, diagnostic data from your iPhone is sent to Apple every time you sync. (This data does not contain any personal information, only crash logs and the like.) Apparently, this takes a good bit of time as well. Follow the steps after the break to disable this.
1) When your iPhone is connected to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPhone in the sidebar. Uncheck the “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” option.
2) Unplug your iPhone, and then plug it back in.
3) Select your iPhone in the sidebar again, and right click it. Then select “Reset Warnings.”
4) Sync your iPhone.
5) You will receive a pop-up message. Uncheck the box in the message, and then click “Don’t Send.”
Note that you can now have your iPhone launch iTunes and be automatically synced again.

And while this may benefit your sync times… is it worth the extra couple minutes here and there when you basically stop sending crash information to application developers and Apple?
Everyone bitches all day long about how crap-tastic the 2.0 software is … but exactly how is Apple supposed to identify the issues if nobody is sending diagnostic information anymore?
Too often people don’t stop to this about the side effects of their actions…

Brandon, while you have a good point the backup on the 3g is taking an agonizingly long time. If the Apple engineers don’t have a clue about the bugs of the 2.0 software at this point then Apple needs to do some serious house cleaning.

@Brandon, you’re point is valid, however it takes too long when you just want to do a simple sync, for instance, the only thing I really sync with my PC is my contacts, sometimes I just want a quick sync to make sure my contacts are backed up at home if I lose them for whatever reason, this shouldn’t take a long time.

I guess I’m just not having (knock on wood) the same issues… my sync’s take less than 5 minutes on average. Most are 1-2 minutes.

According to a few things I’ve read 7.7.1 fixes this issue… anyone else seeing that kind of result?
