3G w/updated OS4  "SLIDE TO UNLOCK" is EXTREMELY SLOW

My iphone 3G has gone berserk since the updated version of software. It hasn't done anything but problems: slow applications, slow GPS navigation, oh yeah did I mention programs freezes in the middle of a job and kicks me out from times to times. ALSO, the "slide to unlock" button operate very very slow. I'm getting very frustrated by these problem EVERY DAY. Will there be an update version to fix the issues that I have?

Turn of Spotlight indexing on your iPhone 3G.
The downside is obvious: if your phone stops indexing itself, search results are no longer going to be valid. But for those who rarely search for anything on their iPhone anyway, or those who are so desperate to get their newly ailing iPhone 3G back in working order that they’re willing to sacrifice functionality, it’s at least an option. The controls for doing so are buried within the Settings app, under the “General” subheading and then “Home Button” and then “Spotlight Search” and you’ll see about a dozen different types of iPhone content (apps, mail, music, etc) that are being indexed. Turn them all off if you don’t care about search at all, or perhaps try leaving on only the ones you absolutely can’t live without.
This has helped me hopefully it can help you.

Is there any way to enable this new feature??

    I tried updating to v60 through Nokia suite, but just as about the installation is about to start, it says "Cheking if you already have the installation files on your computer" and then i get an error saying something went wrong (with code 12017)
    I tried NSU, PC Suite, Nokia Suite (reinstallation as well), a soft  and a hard reset but im still unable to update to v60, although it is available in the OTA(update via pc) and also in the Nokia Suite.

  • Since downloading latest software update for "numbers", Mac is now extremely slow at loading anything and has trouble playing videos (buffering). Also when put Mac to sleep, it wakes up by itself and then back to sleep, etc. Please help!

    OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest.

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

    You will need to Restore it as a New Device...
    Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • IPod Touch Gen 2 turns on but the slide to unlock does not slide

    Hello all,
    Yesterday morning my iPod Touch was fine. Yesterday evening it would turn on, but I could not make the slide to unlock bar slide over. There is a specific point where it looks like it will go, but it stops and slides back to the far left. I have tried restoring it, but it still won't slide. It is updated to the new OS and has been working for several weeks before this happened. It still connects to iTunes and it charges just fine. I do have the 'grey app icons' issue, but after reading several posts, it doesn't seem related. It was extremely cold yesterday. Could I have inadvertently broke something? There are no cracks or obvious differences other than I can't make the bar slide over.
    Thanks for looking this over.

    I did all that you have listed here and I still cannot make the slide to unlock bar move. And when I press and hold the on/off sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time I get another slide bar at the top that I cannot move and a cancel button at the bottom that works at only one spot on the button. It is as if the screen is registering my touch at one vertical line on the whole screen.

  • Tried to restart and reset but phone just turns on and displays larga date time with no slide to unlock control visible

    phone is locked up. turned off and tried tried reset several times, phone displays larger font date/time screen but no slide to unlock control is visible

    Try placing the iPod in ecovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would beto wait for the battery to fully drain and the charge and try again.

  • Rotate during Slide to unlock will lock again

    When waking my iPad (4th gen) it often takes some time before the correct device orientation is recognised and the screen rotates appropriately. If this happens during or right after I slided to unlock my iPad, it will rotate and again present the "slide to unlock" screen. Now however I am unable slide it far enough to unlock (It'll bounce back to locked as if I had only dragged a small distance, while I actually dragged to the edge of the screen) and I'm stuck in the lock screen. As far as I have found the only solution is to reset my iPad using the lock and home button. This problem already occurred occasionally on iOS7, but more frequently on iOS8.
    - Does anyone else experience this problem?
    - If so, is there another way to get past this problem, other than resetting my iPad?

    You could try updating your software all the way to iOS 8.1 since your tag line states that you are running iOS 8.0.2. If that doesn't help, I would try resetting all settings before restoring the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost, but virtually all device settings have to be entered again. It is far less work than restoring and it can help with odd problems like this one.

  • Slide to Unlock Does not respond.

    I have the new iPad.  When I turn it off and then back on, the slide to unlock does not respond.  However, when I do slide it and wait a little bit, it does unlock.  Is there anything I can do to get the slide to unlock to respond?

    I have the same problem as dberkovich and I too did resets, restores, reboot, etc.  Still acts the same. 
    Power up iPad (3-new)
    slide to unlock is frozen, lights do not move in the background,
    wait 10-15 seconds, screen goes black
    push home button and slide to unlock is working perfectly.
    This occurs everytime after complete power off and then back on.
    Took it to a Mac Store,(not Apple store) and representative said "We've never heard of this and it may be software and you should take it to an Apple store."
    Fact:  My nearest Apple store is about a 3 hour drive each way with even no traffic.
    This problem occured when my software was updated with IOS6.
