IPad tether slow after ios6

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 4 and a New iPad Wifi model.
Before the upgrade to IOS6 (running IOS5) my iPad used to tether to my iPhone instantly and i never once had a problem.
After the IOS6 upgrade on both devices, i turn my personal hot spot on on my iphone, turn wifi on on my iPad and it takes a good few minutes to make the connection, sometimes i can browse the internet / use apps that require a connection and other times i cant.
I havent managed to find any obvious pattern for this behaviour except that if i turn off both devices and then repeat the above steps the iPad tethers as quickly as it used to pre IOS6.
Has anyone found a solution to this other than restarting the devices?

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

    IPad 1 slow after upgrade

    See if this helps at all. Quit all apps completely first.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    Now do this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

    why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

    The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
    Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
    Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

  • Mini Ipad got slow after installing iOS7

    Hi there,
    my Mini Ipad got really slow after installing iOS7. The same apps are working much slower. What can i do? Im even considering going back o iOS6, if its even possible.
    I have already tried:
    Restarting the device
    Changing iCloud Sync configurations
    I haven´t try:
    Reseting all configurations, cause i don´t want to lose any infos and I don´t know exactly what im going to lose.
    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    This is not possible. Apple does not support downgrading.

  • Ipad running slow after iOS 8 upgrade

    Ipad mini is running extremely slow after upgrading to iOS 8.  Can I go back to the old iOS?  The speed of the current mini is useless.

    No, you cannot downgrade iOS. Many, many people have reported similar issues and have been helped. If you are having specific problems, search the forums for similar issues already asked and answered, or post your own support request.

  • IPads extremely slow after ios8 upgrade

    Hello,
    I own an iPad 2 and an iPad3 retina. Both were working fine until I upgraded them to ios8.
    Since then, both ipads have slowed down to a crawl. Surfing the web is *much* slower, the ipad seems to hang when you simply load a webpage. Also, the keyboard has become so slow that it lags behind the typing. I will be typing a sentence, and when I stop typing, the ipad could still have 10 characters in the keyboard buffer.
    So up until last week, I had a couple of ipads that were a little bit older, but still working at an acceptable speed. Today, I have two ipads that are frustratingly slow to operate.
    So the obvious thing to do would have been to downgrade back to ios7. But unfortunately, this doesn't work either. I get a message that ios7 is not compatible with my device.
    So can somebody offer a solution, either a trick to downgrade to ios7, or another method to get my ipads back to their former performance.
    BTW: same problem on my iphone 5, much slower as well, but here the speed is still acceptable.

    iPad 2 and iOS 8.0.2 Problems
    For all iPad 2 owners, this is an important solution for you! These problems result from long-term use, continuous upgrades, corrupted files and various glitches that happen over this long term use. You just need to get your iPad 2 back to FACTORY FRESH CONDITION to start out clean!
    Here's one person's solution which will help a lot of iPad 2 users!

    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

  • Why is my iPad so slow after ios7 upgrade?

    why is my ipad running so slow after the ios7 upgrade?

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • IPad 3 slow after upgrading to iOS 8.2 from 7.1

    To get ready for the Watch and stay current with iCloud and my devises, I'm moving this weekend to the latest upgrades for my iPhone 5, wife's iPhone 5S, my iPad 3 with 64 gb (celebrating 3 years old on Monday!), my wife's iPad 4 and my MacBook Pro (from 10.8.5 to 10.10.2).
    I noticed immediately on my iPad 3 that things were slower - and especially loading eMails in iOS Mail App.  Is my 3 year old processor not fast enough to handle everything in 8.2?  Other Apps seem OK but startup is weird - took 20 minutes and I really don't want to turn it off again as it may not start the next time!  (It wakes from sleep just fine).
    Also now hesitating to move my wife's iPad 4 to iOS 8.2 -- but hers is a faster processor so should be OK?
    Thanks for any feedback!
    Best regards,

    II have a similar problem.  After installing 8.2 on my iPad3 performance is much worse.  In Safari, some pages seem to take 2 or 3 times as long to load and I have gone from feeling my iPad is quick and responsive to feeling it is sluggish.  Also, I have a lot of raw photos in the photos app that were loaded via the camera connection kit when I was on IOS 7.  It used to be great browsing them - very snappy.  Now each image takes 7 to 10 seconds to render - unusable.  I had an Apple Genius check it out, and he ran diagnostics and found that a process that renders images was crashing, and advised that I do a clean restore via ITunes which I Did.  Web browsing seems a little better, but still slow.  The slow renedering of raw images in Photos is unchanged - still 7 to 10 seconds.  Called Apple support who ran diagnostics again and said all was O.K.   Only suggestion was to restore software again, but this time don't allow restore to restore any data to create a completely virgin installation.  Haven,t done this yet, but not very hopeful.  Very disappointed - should never have upgraded, and of course you can't go back.  Been using Apple stuff for 30 years, and I think the fact that Apple will not let you install a previous version is one of the things I like the least.  If anybody has any ideas, they would be appreciated.  I do plan to try loading a new raw file into Photos to see if loading raw files on IOS 8.2 gives a different result.

  • Where did my mute button go?  Why is my iPad so slow after upgrade?

  • Website login fails on iPad 2 Safari after iOS6 Update

    Upgraded to iOS6 9/19/2012.
    I just spent half an hour troubleshooting why a site I developed for a client fails its login. Passwords are salted and hashed in Javascript, POSTed to an AJAX PHP page to compare password against stored salted password in database, then user is redirected to where they need to go. This site has always worked on the iPad, which is one of the site's most favored features.
    Logging into the site no longer works. I've tested this issue on my PC with no problem using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera. I've also tested on my iPad 2 using its Chrome and Mercury browsers with no problem.
    The problem only occurs on iPad's Safari browser, and just started happening today. The only difference between today and yesterday is the iOS6 upgrade. Therefore, it stands to reason that iOS6 Safari is the problem.
    The PHP running in the background that actually compares the user input to the DB credentials no longer matches the hash of the salt/password hash with the nonce. This command in iOS6 Safari gives completely different results than any other browser:
    $rehash = hash("sha512", hash("sha512", $salt . $password) . $nonce);
    I have absolutely NO idea why or how this command is affected by a browser. I'm telling you, this only not works on the iPad 2 iOS6 running Safari. I've tried clearing History, cookies and the like, and I get the same thing every time.
    I'd like to downgrade back to a previous version of iOS6. It's fine to have my iPhone in iOS6, but I use my iPad for development, and I need to revert back.
    Ideas? Thoughts?

  • My IPAD is slower after upgrading to OS5. why??

    Since upgarding to new OS5 i have noticed my IPAD is considerably slower, especially the Calendar. anybody experience similiar?
    thanks

    The first step to take when any iOS device is acting up is to Reset it. I have seen excess battery drain ocasionally on every iOS device I've owned since my 1G touch. I would not consider it a major bug but something that happens on some devices occasionally. An app or process starts to misbehave pushing the processor to run harder consuming more battery power. The same happens on computers where they start to run slugish when a runaway process pushes the cpu to 100%. Just like restarting a PC Resetting the iOS device can clear out a misbehaving process.
    The most reliable steps I found to Restore:
    From the Home screen double tap the Home button to view the multitasking bar at the bottom. Tap and hold an app at the bottom till the icons wiggle with the minus button visible. Tap the button to close all apps then tap the Home button to get back to the Home page. Press and hold the Sleep button till you see the Slide to power off message and power it off. Once powered down completely press and hold the sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

  • Loading speed for mail slow after iOS6 download

    After I updated to iOS6 my loading time for mail is up to one minute, when it was 10 seconds under iOS5.x. Any similar experience or even a solution.
    Greetings from Germany

    Okay, I searched other support communities and found this.  It seemed to work for me.
    Oh and also try changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8. That isn't in the article, but it can work like a charm sometimes.
    You can do that but tapping in to settings>wi-fi. Where you see the name of your network, tap on the blue arrow. It will take you to your wi-fi settings and you should see DNS. Tap on where the DNS numbers are and change it to 8.8.8.8.
