IPhone 3GS really slow on iOS 6.1.2

Hi,
I have a 3GS. It's been ok, but ever since I updated to iOS 6.1.2 the performance is terrible! EVERYTHING is slow. From the opening passcode screen lock, to surfing the web on Safari, to sending mail. It just takes ages to do anything! The biggest problem is when I go to take a photo. Takes twice as long to do anything than the 4s.
Any advice,??

Opening every applications takes forever. Facebook, whatsapp, google, etc. even to open the Settings takes a while for the window to appear. 
I do not use iCloud, I do not turn on the locations services, I deleted unnecessary games, I don't even have music on my iphone at all!  It really happened when I upgraded to ios 6.1.2. 
I wonder why there is no one from Apple support who respond to this?

  • 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..:(

    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.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

    updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
    Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

    Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
    Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
    Has the SIM been reseated?  If not, try that.
    Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of that been tried?

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

    iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes!!! it so annoying! its useless, i cant do anything with it. restored it 4 times and its still doing it!!! please help!!!
    i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

    I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

    The ONLY place can unlock an iphone is the carrrier to which it is locked and ONLY if they offer that service.
    For example, AT&T in the U.S. does not unlock any iphones at all.
    You can buy an unlocked iphone from the Apple Store now, but you cannot get a locked phone unlocked in the U.S.
