IPad 1 iOS5 Speed

Hi all,
Does iOS 5 slow down the iPad 1 in the same way that the original iPhone 3G became unbearably slow after the iOS 4 upgrade? As it's near enough impossible to rollback the upgrade, I want to be sure first!
Thanks.
Marc

The people saying iOS 5 runs fine on the first generation iPad are morons. Read below
iOS 5 is a slow, worthless piece of crap on the first generation iPad. It makes me want to sell my iPad to a third party (So apple will not profit from the value of the device), and nevere buy an additional apple product.
iOS 5 has the following problems for iPad 1 users:
- Gameplay is impossible with the upgrade, often frame by frame (simcity, gangstar).
- Opening applications has a laggy animation
- closing applications "
- safari browising is crap
Apple needs to address the iOS 5 iPad issues before they begin to loose loyal customers. if you are reading this, and have not already updated. DO NOT DO IT.
I have downgraded my device to iOS 4.2.1 (because I saved the SHSH blob). I suggest everybody to do the same. Apple purposfully made iOS 4.3 and above slow on the 1st generation iPad to discourage use of the older device and encourage use of the newer device. ***** move, ***** move.

  • Accessing purchased video content via cloud on iPad iOS5

    I can see all my music via cloud on iTunes on iPad iOS5 but can't see video. The iTunes app doesn't give me the option to switch to video on "purchased" tab. Anyone know a fix? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I meant TV shows. They aren't visible with the music. The support section on the Apple site says I should see the option to switch between video and music on the "purchased" tab on iTunes (iPad).

    Perhaps you could contact the developers about an iOS 5 version.

  • How do I have more than one safari screen open on ipad ios5

    I need o toggle between two Internet sites.  How I do that o iPad ios5?

    You no longer have thumbnails in Safari in iOS 5 if that is what you are looking for. You do have to tap the + sign to open a new tab.
    Other browsers offer thumbnail views - iCab Mobile has thumbnails and a whole lot of other useful features as well.

  • I am short of HD space to save the ipad ios5 download in itunes. Does anyone know how to save it to a location other than the c:?

    I have just bought an ipad2 (great except when have occaisonal wi fi issues) that I want to upgrade to ios5
    I have itunes on version 10.5.1
    When I plug in my ipad - I follow the route to obtaining the ipad update but it is 700MB and I have limited space on my c:. I have 4GB on my partioned D: and this is the location where I have my itunes media files, plus also some on a 1TB external HD
    It doesn't seem to matter what I do - but the ipad update seems to be being saved down to the C: [as I'm getting PC messages saying that I'm running out of space]. I've spent 2 nights stripping it back to free up 800MB but the ipad download stops at about 600MB
    Is there a way I can force the download to go to the D:, where I have plenty of space?
    Any ideas appreciated?
    Thanks

    How do you move the frame? Like I said, it is not how it was filmed.  In the smaller version that you can scroll through, it looks normal, but in the viewing window it looks like it is zoomed in.  I tried pinching with my fingers (how you would to zoom out of a photo) and it didn't work.

  • Why can't iPad connection speed surpass 72/150 Mbs?

    The iPad boasts 5 antennas. But It seems only 1 or 2 antennae are enabled to work. I put my iPad right beside the Airpot Extreme router, the connection speed via 802.11a/n at 5GHz never exceeds 72MB, no matter how close it is to the base station. My MacBook Pro 15-inch can achieve a speed of 270MB, and my Airport Express used to extend the range can also connect at 270MB.
    Then instead of connecting my iPad to Airport Extreme, I connected it to Airport Express (being used as a bridge to extend the range). IPad at 802.11a/n can only achieve a maximum speed of 150 MB.
    So I strongly suspect there is something wrong with the firmware of the 2 Apple Routers.

    I think there needs to be an understanding of what the IEEE 802.11 standard says. The channel width for all bands is 20 MHz. The 2007 draft n-protocol allowed a channel width of 40 MHz. That was not adopted in 2009 when the n-protocol was approved. The standard now says, including the 40 MHz 2007 draft for the n-protocol:
    Protocol / Bandwidth (MHz) / Transfer rate (Mbps)
    b / 20 / 5.5, 11
    g / 20 / 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54
    n / 20 / 7.2, 14.4, 21.7, 28.9, 43.3, 57.8, 65, 72.2
    n / 40 / 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135, 150
    So, if you are getting a transfer rate of 150 Mbps your are under the 2007 draft 40 MHz channel width, not the final approved 2009 n-protocol.
    The final approved protocol does not support that transfer rate.

  • Netgear router, iPad 2 speed problems

    Does anyone have a netgear wpn824v2 router and have problems with Internet speed? I get 250k on my ipad2 but 1m speed from a pc from the same router. I updated my router firmware but still get 1/4 the speed that my pc gets. Brought iPad to work and set it next to another ipad and both connected at 16m with no problems. Was told by my tech guys to open my wallet and buy a new router (5 years old). Any ideas?

    Hi. I currently have BT broadband Home Hub 3. I use it to connect to my laptop, my Iphone and my Ipad2. The connection speeds of my laptop and Iphone are fine but the Ipad connection is very poor. Browsing the net is not a problem its when i try to use Youtube, BBC Iplayer or ITV player that there is a problem. Basically anything with video streams. The stream plays for a few seconds and then stops. If i watch videos using my laptop or iphone it is fine. I know there is not a problem with the Ipad itself as i have tried it on other peoples broadband, ie, Virgin or other BT and it works fine. I have used the speedtest app to check connectivity and its constant on the Iphone and Laptop but when i check the Ipad it dips up and down or drops completely. Any help with this is much appreciated as it stopping me getting full use from my Ipad.
    Thanks
    Martin 
    Based on the symptoms you describe it may be that the Ipad is connecting to a different network in your vicinity eg a BTFon hotspot.  I suggest you check what network you are connecting to as my wife's Ipad is prone to using a different network to the one she is expecting.

  • Ipad IOS5 Passcode issue

    Hi everyone
    i have just spent over an hour upgrading my ipad to ios5, on finishing it asked for my passcode which i had laready set
    but would not recognise it
    checked it twice and it was correct, but would not accept it on my ipad, it disbaled it for 15 minutes
    i have now had to factory restore my ipad and am in the process of restoring from backup, whats going on, my iphone phone upgraded
    perfectly, but my ipad ??
    anyone have any ideas
    thanks

    The restrictions password will remain on the iPad Mini unless it is restored as a new device.  If you need to remove the passcode on it, back it up and restore it with iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  To do this, connect the Mini to your computer, then right-click on the name of the Mini on the left side (if using iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar) and select Back Up.  After backing it up, restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.  At the end of the restore process you will be given the option to the iTunes backup you made earlier (see image below).

  • Lyrics support to iPad iOS5

    Why does Apple refuse to give an answer to all the complaints about the new look 'Music' interface that to my utter horror does not support the lyrics function. I would have never downloaded the iOS5 if I'd known prior that this would screw up my whole library. I am a professional musician and rely on having the lyrics to the songs literally under my thumb instead of having to haul around files of lyrics to the gigs. My iPad had made my professional life so much easier and now I am seriously considering purchasing a Samsung instead. So Apple, can you please have the courtesy of giving us users out there a satisfactory explanation of what's going on and if and when , the lyics function will be restored.

  • I devices - Iphone, Ipad connection speed very slo...

    Has anyone any advice on how to maximise the connection speed between Iphones, Ipads etc... with the BT Home Hub 4.  The broadband speed to the house seems fine (7mbs DL). and any PC or MAC wireless device has great wifi connection.  BUT I simply have awful connection with any I device. They seem to hang on any wifi demand. I cant even listen to LBC!
    I have contacted BT - but no advice given. I did not have this wifi issue with SKy - but moved as BB to house was traffic managed.
    Cheers

    iving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies different SSids. Just add a 5 to the end of the 5Ghz SSid so you know which is which. Check the 5 GHz Sync with 2.4 GHz: is set to NO.
    Once you have done that "forget" the connection and then restart the phone and ipad and log onto both. They should then automatically switch to the strongest signal.
    You'll need to connect your other devices that can use both frequencies to both SSids if you want them to be able to use both frequencies.
