IOS4 Slow and Burns Battery

When is Apple going to give us a fix or an option to downgrade. iOS4 burns battery like a mad man and is SSSSSlllllooooowwwww.

The thing that really riles me is that for such an expensive phone, we the owners, have to mess about so much with restore after restore each time and 'update' comes along. How about rather than relying on us to restore, resest and God knows what else, Apple actually concentrate on getting a decent OS released?

  • I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • IPhone heating up, laggy, slow and low battery after updating to 7.1.1

    I mean, after upgrading to 7.1 my iPhone 4 worked very well, actually worked pretty fast, I felt like I'm back on iOS 6, and liked the iOS 7 for the first time. But now after updating to 7.1.1, battery drains very quickly, it's so slow, and laggy, also iPhone heats up really fast when I'm using it. Is it the same to you or it's happening just to me? My friend also called me last night and said "Is your iPhone heating up like mine", it seems I'm not the only one??
    Also, iPhone heats up mostly around the camera...

    Even my iphone 4 was heating up like ****, i cant even touch it with my bear hands... Too much heat, too much draining of battery. Even normal usage without any data connection & wifi, i am getting 2-3 hours backup. That is too ridiculous. I'm going crazy with this bloody 7.1.1 update. I am starting hating iphone for the first time because of this issue...

  • New iMac 3.06 DVD slow and burning issues

    I just unpacked my new iMac 3.06 GHz and upgraded to 10.6.2, first thing I noticed: starting time was slower than my 2.66 GHz "old" iMac, I tried to burn a DVD, same speed 8x and it took twice time or more than my "old" iMac,
    Is there an upgrade coming?
    Thank you

    Hopefully an upgrade will fix those little problems,

  • Macbook slow and horrible battery, downgrade to snow leapord?

    So I have a late 2008 13" macbook currently running Mavericks (2.4 core 2 due/8gb ram). Its performance is getting dated, and battery life is awful even on new battery (1.5-2 hours). My usage is not heavy, mostly web browsing/email and sometimes some rare photo editing and I'd like to stretch this mac out another year.
    To do this, one thing that is certain is an SSD upgrade. Now my question is though, which route should I go after that:
    Option 1: Clean install mavericks/yosemite and hope the SSD upgrade is sufficient with the old cpu/new software
    or
    Option 2: Clean install of Snow leapord even though support has ceased. If i go this route, my 8gb ram will not be compatible correct? I think 6gb was the max (unless the firmware update to allow 8gb can still be used in snow leapord?)
    Either way, I liked snow leapord the best, and dont need all the new IOS integration since i'm an android user anyway. I'd just like to hear the communities thoughts.
    Has anyone done this downgrade to SL from mavericks, is it worth it?
    Whats the best way to do this with the new SSD?
    Would snow leopard help my battery life?
    I'm not sure i have the original leopard disk, but i do have my snow leopard upgrade disc to use for clean install if that would work?
    Any comments are appreciated, Thanks.

  • Email loading slow and draining battery

    Recently it takes forever to fetch email in my gmail mailbox.    The wheel spins for 3-5 minutes before email download.   I upgraded software a couple weeks ago.   Is that the culprit?

    Did you reset your device after the software update? Try to delete the mail account and set it up again if a reset does not work. There have been reports that, if push/fetch was used, mail tried to log onto your mail account over and over again, causing a battery drain this way.

  • My Macbook Pro 2012 is painfully slow and the battery dies out really fast

    I don't do a lot of downloading or installing on my computer, I basically just use it to browse the internet or use microsoft office. I haven't used much memory and all the specs on my computer seem fine. I recently went to the genius bar at an apple store and they ran a bunch of diagnostic tests but everything seemed to come up normal. I've backed up all my data and even restored my computer to factory settings. However, my computer still has the same problem. I was told I didn't have any viruses or malware/adware problems and the only reasonable solution the genius bar representative told me that it was tiem to upgrade. However, since these laptops cost over $1,500 new I don't think that's a reasonable solution for me. So if anyone could shine a light on what is possibly happening that would be awesome!
    Thank you!

    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • My phone is hot and burning battery - again.  I reset all settings and it didn't help.  What is up and how do I fix it?  I have **** down all apps., disabled location, wireless,etc and it still burns battery.

    Thanks.  I did that last time and they just told me to reset it, which I did again (what a pain).  Ay idea what is going on?  Last time it was right after the upgrade to 6.1,2.  I see I have 6.1.3 now and don't recall approving the upgrade.

  • Slow phone and draining battery

    Hi. I have a problem with my phone being very slow and the battery emptying up rather quickly (from full to empty during the night). This happened after I transferred some songs to it and disconnected the USB cable before the phone had said it was OK to pull it out. All the songs I transfer to it also come up seven times in a row each, for some reason.
    I have tried to download new software, but I just get the message that I already have the latest version and therefore can not install it. I have also tried to use some code (which I can't remember), but it did not help.
    Any suggestions anyone?

    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer and battery checked out.

  • Macbook works very slow and consumes a lot of battery power when closed

    Hi@all
    I hope someone of you can help me. My Mac crashed yesterday. I got a warning saying "there was a problem, your Mac will reboot" (I didn't get the exact words because it vanished quite fast and the MacBook rebooted itself). Since then my Mac is working very slow and freezes every few minutes. I looked at the CPU usage but this is always under 25% so there shouldn't be a programm that causes this problem.
    In addition:
    When I close it, it seems to go to sleep mode normally but is still consuming quite high amounts of battery power and get's warm. When I work with it the temperature stays normal.
    I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 running with Mavericks.
    It would be great if someone has an idea what could cause this kind of problems.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions :-)

    sternblume,
    for the high energy consumption in sleep mode, you could try resetting its System Management Controller.
    For the slow working and freezing, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode.
