IPhone 3gs runs slow with iOS5

Hello all,
I've an iPhone 3GS and even with iOS4 it started to get slower but when I upgraded it to iOS5 it became even much slower.
I tried to Restore using iTunes but it didn't restored to factory defaults, with the original iOS version. I saw in Apple's site and they only have until iOS4.2.
Is there a way to do so?
BR,
Miziara.

When you restore to original settings, it doesn't reload your old IOS - just the original settings.
I'm afraid that IOS5 is going to be slow on a 3GS, but you can do things to help, such as keeping the number of apps open to a minimum; turn off location services for apps that don't really need them and to reduce the number of apps doing a fetch or at least reduce how often they fetch new data.

Is also your IPhone 3gs very slow after iOS5??

Hi there, since I upgraded my 3gs to iOS5 it became generally extremely slow and it crashes often or take ages to respond to commands...any solution other than restart it as new?

try this First, You will not lose any data.
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10-15 Seconds.
Release the buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
You may have to restore as new...

Iphone 5c runs slow with ios 8

Ever since I upgraded my I phone 5c to ios 8 my apps, like face book news loads very slow, my phone seems to take a long time to connect to my home wifi, also apps seem to take a while to load when on lte. I turned of my location service hoping that this would resolve the issue, but didn't seem to make a difference. I don't know how to reboot my phone or if you can even do that with a iphone? what can I do to resolve this issue ?

Downgrading iOS is not possible on iPhones (in a legal way), I'm sorry, you can make your iPhone faster to close your apps in the multitask menu (double-click the home button and swipe the app upwards) and make some space in your storage (delete some apps, photos etc)

Iphone 3gs running slow

I've noticed that my iPhone is becoming unresponsive. It's taking longer and longer for apps to start up. Even buttons are slow to record. For example, if I'm doing a search on, let's say Yelp, calling the search function takes up to 10 seconds. Typing my desired search subject also takes long because my iPhone takes a while to recognize that I'm typing. It's like it's momentarily paralyzed. Has anybody seen this? Is this a memory issue? Do I need to reset? Archive and delete old texts?

I have experienced a similar issue on my iphone and my wife's iphone. The issue was slow response when typing and also when opening apps. One app in particular that would freeze up was The Weather Channel app. I experimented with changes several settings, and finally determined a correlation between the Location Services settings and app / iphone responsiveness. I disabled Location services for all apps except for the Map app (go to <Settings><General><Location Services>). I have not experienced any issue since doing that. On a side note however, if you use facebook app and do mobile uploading of pictures or like to check in at places, you will have to enable it to do those things. On occasion when I do that, I simply enable it for that app and then disable it when I am done.

Help with syncing an iPhone 3GS running iOS5 to a new MBA running Lion

Just got a new MacBook Air running Lion (10.7.2) and I thought I'd sync my iPhone 3GS (Running iOS5.0.1) to it.
I have an iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and my 3GS is currently synced with that. (Both running iTunes 10.5.2)
Whenever I plug my iPhone in a hit sync, it doesn't do anything. If I tick Sync Music/Apps etc. it says that all music/apps will be erased on my iPhone and replaced with the ones on the MBA. There aren't even any on the MBA. And when I tick the "Sync Apps" the iPhone homepage layout changes/deletes some Apps which worries me so I haven't actually tried syncing after clicking it (I've spent hours getting my homepage set up correctly after restoring...I really don't want that on Christmas...).
So what shall I do? Try syncing anyway? I bet this wouldn't happen if it was running Snow Leopard! I'm pretty sure it should ask to copy all the songs and stuff across and then beg for authorization, which I did before even trying to sync.
Also, is there a way to deauthorize computers remotely? I have 4 out of 5 authorized, I only want my iMac and MBA.

WTMF?
When I got my iMac, I synced to it with no problem (This was October 2010). Did they stupidly change this now? So, firstly I can't merge my iTunes account with my old MobileMe account, now this? This is getting ridiculous. What next? YouTube decide to completely rearrange the channel layout so you can hardly make it look how you want?
This new concept of Apple is terrible and doesn't make sense. I thought everything's supposed to be in sync? Mac OS was so much better when I was using a PC. Now I think I'd rather go back to PC.
Edit: Actually, I'll go to Linux...

I use iphone 3GS, after upgraded to ios5, my phone restart when i took picture with button and while playing music .. what happened?

Basic troubleshooting steps in the following order.
1. Reset. Press and hold both Power and Home Buttons together till Apple Logo appears.
2. Restore to a backup.
3. Backup, Restore in iTunes and setup as new.

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..:(

MY IPHONE 3GS IS SLOW AFTER UPDATE TO 4.3.1 ANY SUGGESTIONS

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.

QUESTIONS: I have an iphone 3gs.just updating to ios5. am at the stage where I chose to restore iphone via itunes. sync seems stuck at step 7 of 7: syncing artwork. Is this necessary and if not how do I get around it?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

My iphone 3gs running on 3.1.3 is repeatedly ignored by itunes.

My iphone 3gs running on 3.1.3 is repeatedly ignored by itunes. It only is recognized once after a clean install of itunes (on Win). After that..no go. Any ideas? I would really want to upgrade it to the latest ios4 build. Not looking for ios5.

She has a 3G not a 3GS and that is the current software for that phone and will be forever more....
This is incorrect. The 3G supports iOS4, including 4.2.1. I'm running it on my 3G and it runs well. The Original iPhone does not run iOS4.

What functions work with iPhone 3GS on OS4 with Apple wireless keyboard?

I've successfully paired my Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPhone 3GS running OS4. I can type messages and emails, but many functions seem to be missing, like moving to the "send" button in email or moving around my iPhone screen. Does anyone know where to find info on what keys on the wireless keyboard perform what functions on the iPhone? Thanks

Does it matter?
On topic, there are a few things that work with the keyboard on to iPhone:
* F1 and F2 - Brightness
* F3 - Disabled
* F4 - Disabled
* F5 and F6 - Disabled
* F7 - Previous Track
* F8 - Pause/Play iPod
* F9 - Skip Track
* F10 - Mute
* F11 - Volume Down
* F12 - Volume Up
* Eject - Disabled (unless Apple adds a mini-Disc)
* Caps Lock - YEAY
* FN Control Option/Alt Command - All Disabled DOH
* Arrow Keys - YEAY
Wow, troll. Stop bringing up dead threads...especially when you can't get your information correct.
The eject key hides and displays the softkeyboard in text entry mode.
