IPhone 4 very slow and not very responsive

Hello - ever since updating to ios5 my phone has been significantly slower. I close my open apps regularly and don't have a crazy amount (about 6 pages worth) but the phone is just very slow. For example, if I get a text message and go to open it, and then try to click in the text box to start typing, nothing happens. It takes a good 6-8 seconds before the phone even recognizes me touching the text bar which is incredibly annoying. The camera is often slow too, having a shutter lag of 10 seconds sometimes. I would wipe my phone and do a restore, but I think that will just restore all of my backed up data which will probably not work, and I really would not want to start from scratch and lose all of my 4 years of text message history, etc. Any ideas?

Very few apps run in the background since there is no reason or benefit for nearly all apps to do so. The overhwelming majority of apps are quit or suspended with leaving the app. An app being available in the recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background, and removing apps not running in the background from the recently used apps bar or dock doesn't accomplish much if anything.
How often do you power your iPhone off and on?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
If no change after this, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, you can restore again from the existing backup.

    My Iphone 6 (8.1.2) is very slow and sluggish to response whenever it is connected any bluetooth devices ex. my car audio or bluetooth headsets
    The moment I disconnect the bluetooth , the phone turns normal again. This happens when i awaken the phone and try to access the home screen, this takes almost 4 to 5 seconds at times.
    Is anyone facing similar issues, Please advice

  • HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

  • How do I find my iPhone Contacts in iTunes? I'm backing up my iPhone 4S to iTunes (and not to iCloud).

    Hello,
    I'm backing up my iPhone 4S to iTunes (and not to iCloud).
    I haven'tyet  needed to restore the backup to my existing phone or a new phone.
    Is there a way to check in iTunes whether my Contacts are stored there?
    Also, occasionally, after a backup, I am unable to locate some names/information in my iPhone Contact list.
    Is there a way to prevent this?
    Thanks.

    If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
    From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
    If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else.

  • I upgraded my Iphone 4 to os7 and not all of my application icons are visible.  They can be found by searching.  How do I put them back on my desk top?

    I upgraded my Iphone 4 to os7 and not all of my application icons are visible.  I can locate them using the search feature but I would like to have the icons visible on my screen for imediate access. So how do I do this?

    They got pushed to another page of the Home screen. Scroll from left to right to find them. You can then move them to where you want them.

    Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
    Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

    IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
    This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • Navigation very slow and not able to enter in memory a sequence issue

    Hello,
    we have a big problem with oracle forms performance since we deployed our
    application to the web. all our customers are not confortable with this new
    environment because the sytem are very slow and working it's very difficult.
    our application is very slow in point of when the user use very quickly the key
    functions it doens't work.
    I explain :
    for example, we have a button &Verifier (alt+v : acces key to this button) and
    when clicking to button we have a dialox box that contains 2 buttons:
    Oui(alt+O:access key) and Non(alt+N:access key) and if we click Oui(alt+O) it
    popup as an information box and we must click Ok(alt+O: access key).
    then if we click quickly alt+v after alt+o after alt+o it doens't work and it
    wait to click againt alt+o.(like the system doesn't follow or has not yet enter all the sequence in the memory)
    before in client/server it work's fine.
    it's like our application in the web it's not able to entered in memory a
    serial of access key.
    please can you help me the problem is always occuring in the production
    environment.
    our environment:
    - oracle jiniator :1.3.1.22
    OAS 10G (9041)
    DATABASE 9206
    - the complete version of forms : 9.0.4.0.19
    - we have 23 USERS.
    any help are welcome, the problem are urgent.
    thank you.

    Hi
    Lets analyse and hope to narrow down your issue
    We have used the Pick and Pack Manager to release goods from Sales Order through to Invoice. The functionality offered is good,
    > Slow performance could be triggered by multile issue  , so lets wait
    > Do you know PICKand PACK manager is only for status ,but it actually doesn't affect inventory level .
    but in practise the system is so slow it is taking 2 to 3 times longer than copying to a Sales Invoice.
    > You need to do delivery first and transfer the delivery into invoice .
    Is there any way of cutting out part of the process to speed things up? What we really need is to be able to create an invoice(s) straight from the Pick and Pack manager.
    >> It basically depends upon your business process . but by software , You can bypass Pick and PACK Manager process. You can transfer  your sales order into A/R invoice  and while posting A/R invoice , inventory will be reduced .
    Hope this help to narrow down your issue
    thank you

  • Endeca Server performance issue: dgraph is slow and not always available

    Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with Endeca Server. It's very slow and the dgraph process takes about 97% of the cpu without doing queries.
    When I try to open the Studio Page, the cpu utilization of the dgraph process increases up to 200%, and if I try to launch a simple query from Integrator the result is:
    <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

  • Please help me my iphone 4 switch off and not working

    please help me my iphone switch off and not working

    Hello safaabh,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone would not power on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
