Iphone 3gs getting slower every day

my iPhone 3gs is freezing up and lagging (when I type mostly) I have the updated ISO on in and I freed up some room in the memory, so what else could it be and how can I make it run faster like it used to?
also if I do a recovery on it and set it back to factory settings would it help or hurt? and what is the best way to do the reset? are there any step by step instructions for this anywhere?
thanks.

My Maxx started slowing down, actually hanging 5 to 15 seconds at times, after the last build 9.8.20-72_VZW-16-5. I've had Droid 4.1.2 before this with no slow downs. I've cleared cache, apps, checked memory, etc. I haven't tried factory default yet because I expect I will loose much of the configuration info and it's a long process to set up again, much like getting a new phone.
Has anyone found the core problem?
Suspect it may be that the latest VZW build contains additional data mining called "Relevant Mobile Advertising Program Enhancement" which collects data for directed advertising. I opted out of this on the "privacy choices page" and will see if this helps.

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

Why is my iPhone 3gs getting slower?

I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB, and it is about 2/3 filled with music, photos, contacts, apps, etc.
In the last few months the device has been getting slower - examples are:
- keyboard strokes take up to 2 seconds until they are reflected on the UI.
- screen swap by 90 degrees takes up to 4 seconds to be made.
- opening the iphone settings menu shows an empty grey screen for 3 seconds, and then the menu icons start to appear.
it's a hassle.
any help out of this?
thanks!

Restore iPhone as New. Allow iTunes to Back up your iPhone when you begin. But Restore iPhone as New. Then after iTunes is completely done. You can go back later and put your contacts and everything back by Restoring From Backup.

I've tried everything I can possibly think of to improve my computer's performance, and it seems to be getting slower every day.

So, a while ago I decided to get a SSD and upgrade to 4GB of RAM when I was still using Snow Leopard. Great investment, totally worth it. Well, for a while. Boot times were good at first. But they got sluggish. So of course I decided to upgrade to Mountain Lion because that would speed up my mac, right? Wrong. It takes my computer ten seconds from the time I push the power button to respond and begin booting. It takes anywhere from one to two and a half minutes to get to the login screen. On the login screen it won't respond to any input from keyboard, trackpad, or mouse for ten seconds more. When I type in my password, it's another thirty seconds to a minute before the spinning beach ball of death disappears and what should be my desktop appears. Instead I'm greeted by my desktop picture and nothing else. One to one and a half minutes later, my desktop, dock, and menu bar are all there in front of me. But we're not out of the woods yet. It takes about two or three more minutes before my computer becomes even remotely usable- if I just start clicking I'll get the beach ball of death and have to wait longer, watching my once-swift Google Chrome browser bounce endlessly up and down, never opening.
TL;DR: It takes way too long for my computer to start up given its specifications.
You might be poised at your keyboard right now, telling me to repair disk permissions, clear caches, reset PRAM and SMC, etc... but I've already done that. I have about 75GB free space on my solid state drive, so that's not an issue. I've used Onyx and CleanMyMac2 to clean up anything that could be causing the problem, and it hasn't fixed slow boot times and general sluggishness.
I've scoured the forums far and wide to find the answer that will transform my computer into the speed-demon it once was. That is why I have turned to you, dear internet, to aid me in my quest.
I'm not a digital dummy- I can follow just about any advice you give me if you're clear enough in explaining steps required. The OP in almost every thread I've visited thus far was clueless and simply needed routine maintenace or a hardware upgrade to fix the problem, and I know that can't be the issue... so what can?
(PS I did select the SSD as my startup disk after installing it)

Speed getting lower every day since adsl2+ upgrade

Background : My router has always from day 1 been switched off at 11pm at night and turned back on at 7am in the morning. With adsl max I consistently had a download speed of 850Kb/s
2 weeks ago my line was upgraded after a phone call to BT, initially everything was great, speeds were not much better for the first coupld of days (950Kb/s) but then shot up to 1250Kb/s for a few days. Since then however my line has been getting slower every day. Today is the worst and I am now getting 690Kb/s.
I know I'm going to get the usual "leave router connected for 3 day" answer of someone, but what does this achieve ? If my line says connected at 6.5Mbps and I leave it on for 3 days solid does that mean 3 days of being stuck at that speed or does the line recalculate connection speed at certain intervals ?

Thats my line stats as it stands , down from 11Mbps connection a week ago . Cannot connect to the main socket as where the line comes in the house is just a blank faceplate with a cable coming out the bottom into a smaller box then out and accross the room to the only phone socket in the property.
At this rate I would have been better staying on my old package instead of being made to take out a new contract at less favourable terms.

Nothing but a phone connected to the line. The sky box has never been connected to the line as last year when we got a Sky HD box slowed the connection right down.
As for the router being on for the 10 days, no one ever said that to me. The only reason I know that turning it off daily could be a negative was through this forum.
As for my original question. If I now leave the router on permanately does it reconfigure the connection istelf or does it have to be reset every now and then. Very frustrating going from 850Kb/s on adslmax to 1200+ then down to sub 700.
I am unable to run a speed test at the moment , but with only the homehub connected to the master socket the results look like much the same , The hub seems to be connecting at bang on 6.5Mbs every time so I assume the line has been set to this by the DLM ? How long on ADSL 2 does it take to work its way back up ? I ran a speed test earlier today and I belive my IP profile was 5.85 or some such , why would it be set so low when the line was happy at 10+ last week ?

I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help . I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .

Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

This HAS to be a software problem because the fine folks at the local apple store (Vancouver) replaced the phone even though it was 35 days out of warranty (they're awesome -- didn't expect that).
No, it doesn't have to be a software issue. If it were, I would expect the millions of other iPhone users, specifically 3GS users running iOS 4 to be experiencing the same problem. They simply are not experiencing the same issue.

4) Just for giggles, I've tried turning 3G off. If I do, I lose ALL service (cellular included)
That would tend to indicate a hardware or network issue, most likely hardware. Have you ruled out the SIM card by replacing it?

As I say, this behavior is identical across both my old phone and its replacement. In fact, for both issues (batttery & call-failed), it's as though the replacement was never made.
Did you restore from your backup? or set up as a new device?

BTW, when I got the new phone, it was loaded with a slightly older version of iOS. At the Apple Store expert's suggestion, I upgrade to iOS 4.3.1 BEFORE i loaded my backup.
Did you try using the device for a day or say as "new" before restoring your backup? It's very likely that the issue is simply a corrupted setting in your backup.

My iPhone 3gs stopped working 2 days before warranty period,now even warranty period is expired I need replacement

My iPhone 3gs stopped working 2 days before warranty period,But i was unable to contact apple immediately as no apple store is available near my place,Now i need to replace my iphone..How can i get it?

It was your decision to not contact Apple before the warranty period expired.

An old report gets reprinted every day

Hello all,
We have an application that based on Oracle Reports and Forms.
Now, one of the old reports, originally printed 6 months ago, gets reprinted every day.
We don't have any ideas why. No one on purpose does it
I was wondering if any of you have experienced the same issue.
Thank you, Sonya

By report you very likely mean report output, or report result?
If so, looks like the report has been scheduled to run every day, and the start date was set 6 month ahead. Someone's error, or something. See your application manual on how to schedule / unschedule / view scheduled reports.

Since downloading firefox my computer has been getting infected every day

Have had this laptop since December 2010. Never had any problem with infiltrations. Everyone said Firefox was better than Internet Explorer. Don't know if it is a coincidence but since I started using Firefox, my computer has been getting infected every day. Have ESET Smart Security 4 and it will clean some of the files but shows error when cleaning others. Is there something I can do?

I'm not familiar with those. Can you try a supplemental scanner/cleaner for a second opinion and possible better luck with removal? These two tools are highly regarded:

Hi
Try to clean the cooling ventilators using a compressed air spray.
Dust and debris inside the fans might prevent the air from circulation which leads to higher temperature.
You should also use the Toshiba graphic card drivers instead of any other drivers from any 3rd party pages. The drivers from Toshiba page contains an GPU overheating protection which other drivers dont.
