Iphone 3gs slow

My iPhone 3gs is really slow, I have deleted some apps and pics BH it its not helping. My Facebook kicks me out once before it works and my words w with friends does too

Well, one of the main things that you can do is to make sure that the apps in the task switcher (multitasking bar) is not overloaded with apps. Periodically you should clear out all the apps in the multitasking bar.
Another side thing, that you could do, that makes a significant performance improvement is to disable spotlight search, which can be done by accessing your general settings page. I don't use spotlight search, so it is a helpful speed boost to me.
Disabling spotlight search relieves the iphone of doing any file indexing behind the scenes, thus putting less stress on the phone's cpu at times.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

  • Is iOS 4.3.1 on an iPhone 3GS slower than iOS 4.1?

    I updated the version of iOS on my iPhone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.3.1 via restore. I didn't set up my iPhone as a new phone because I've never seen that as necessary (and I have a lot of settings and apps). Since I've updated, my iPhone seems noticeably more sluggish. Sometimes there's a bit of a lag in the animation as an app is launched, which isn't too bad, but in the camera app today, there was a very noticeable delay when trying to start a video (there has always been a rather noticeable delay in switching from camera to video mode): the video wouldn't start for a couple of seconds after pressing the red button.
    Things seem fine after a double reset, but then gradually slow down again.
    So is it iOS 4.3.1 that is slower, or is it something on my iPhone?
    I have over a 100 apps with a lot of stored data, so I can't start again from scratch. I also would like to preserve app folder and icon locations.

    One particular problem is that once an app is downloaded from the app store, the actual part of the process where the app icon says "Installing..." takes an insane amount of time.

    you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for you phone to boot back up.

  • IPhone 3GS slow performance

    Hi
    I just picked up an iPhone 3gs model from Gamestop.  I've noticed real lag on device.  It is running ios6.1.3 so I wonder if the hardware can support that particular software.  Is there any way to role back to ios 3 or as close to it as possible.
    The phone is empty but it runs real slow.
    I'm hoping I can downgrade to ios 3.19 which the phone had no problems running.

    I am also facing the same probem, suggestion/help needed. My iPhone3GS become very slow and all the apps are not responding after updated IOS 6.1.3

  • IPhone 3GS Slow Youtube over WiFi Finally Solved

    I have been having major problems with youtube over wifi, same as many on this forum. Youtube videos constantly buffer (start/stop) or play very slow over wifi, butplay fine over 3G. I have read many posts about this and have tried everything. The solution I found that works %100 every time (for me anyway)was to change my wireless key from WEP to WPA. Many users suggest downgrading to 802.11b, which I did but it made no difference. Once I changed the key from WEP to WPA it made no difference if the network was at B,G or B/G mixed. The dummies at apple tech told me it was hardware and I should exchange my phone. So much for tech support. Hope this helps!!

    Yep, same problem! I have 30 mbps on Macbook with my Wifi speed test and on mobile speed test I get 11.6 mbps download and 0.94 upload. I have the same exact problem. Youtube is extremely slow. I also don't have the luxury to switch to WEP since I have an airport extreme which DOESN'T HAVE A WEP OPTION. Maybe I should stop buying apple products all together! Called apple support the guy told me to switch the channels from auto to manual and pick different channels on my airport extreme. Everything else seem to have improved except YouTube. It is dreadfully slow and I constantly need to switch to 3Gs to watch grainy videos. This is unacceptable!

  • IPhone 3GS Internet problems

    The Internet on my iPhone 3GS slows or stops entirely until I restart the phone. This happens on both wifi and 3G and my Internet settings are unchanged from default. What are the possible problems and solutions? I have tried restoring and that seems to work for about 2 days at a time. The Internet freezing/slowing usually happens about twice an hour if I am watching videos or reading articles.

    Bump
    If any additional info is needed just let me know and I'll add it

  • HT4863 I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ide

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • Slow iPhone 3Gs with Airport Extreme WiFi

    This seems to be a pretty well established issue as there are in-depth videos on YouTube demonstrating this phenomenon. In a nutshell, my network connection speed stinks on my new iPhone 3Gs when I'm connected to the internet via my Airport Extreme. It's most notable when trying to watch any videos using the phones YouTube app. Too slow downloading to make it worth using. Any known fixes out there? This IS NOT a jail-broke phone BTW, I am 100% legal with AT&T service. Running the latest version of SL and have the latest iPhone OS installed. Any help is appreciated!

    Try asking this question somewhere other than the "Mail and Address Book" forum.

  • If I upgrade my iphone 3Gs to iOS5 then whether its speed will reduce or it will become slow because its processor is only 600 MHZ ? If it is so then whether it should be upgrarded to iOS4 ?

    If I upgrade my iphone 3Gs to iOS5 then whether its speed will reduce or it will become slow because its processor is only 600 MHZ ? If it is so then whether it should be upgrarded only to iOS4 ?

    I'm running iOS 5 on my 3GS, and it runs fine, granted it's not as fast as a 4 or 4S, but it will still run fine.

  • Iphone 3gs wired tethering is 10 times slower on iOS4.3

    After upgrading my iphone 3gs to iOS4.3 I have found that the new personal hotspot feature is up to 10 times slower than internet tethering on iOS4.2. Anyone with any idea why? It also takes longer to connect.
    Now I have no way to downgrade and since I am still waiting for my ISP to connect up the broadband in my new appartment I basically have no internet connection at home. I have been relying on tethering at home for the past 5 months. It worked 100% flawlessly in the past and I regulary got ftp speeds of 100-200 Kbs, now its dound to 20-50. Has the tethering speed been capped on the new OS?

    Bumping.  Decided this was a permissions problem and deleted my user account and created a new one.  iTunes now successfully backs up my phone, but still does not sync with it.  iTunes still reports the phone as having songs, videos and apps on it which do not appear on the phone.  Next step will be a full restore, but I've been trying to avoid it...

  • Will the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB slower than the 16 or 8 GB 3Gs models

    i just want to know that will the 32 gb iphone 3gs will be slower than the mobels with less storage as i had a n97 32 gb wich was slower than the 16 gb n97 mini

    No.
    The iPhone 3GS 16GB and 32GB have the same processor, the same amount of RAM, and the same graphics card.
    The only difference with the 3GS is the storage capacity.
    The same for the iPhone 3G and with the original iPhone.

  • 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..:(
