Iphone 4s ios5.1 slow and sloppy, automatically resprings.

iPhone 4S, after updating to iOS5.1, it has become sloppy. Screen lags always occur and and all apps have become laggy compared to previous iOS version.The iPhone also resprings itself suddenly (about once aday) where it goes black screen with a load circle in the middle for like 5 seconds then goes to the lock screen
It is rather annoying as day to day use becomes sloppy and not as fast as before.
Anyone have solutions or have the same problem as I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
Is the device jailbroken?

    Hey kaylactm,
    Thanks for the question. I understand how frustrating this may be. To resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your device in recovery-mode:

  • Since upgraded to ios 8 my iPhone has become slow and deleted photos appeared automatically in camera roll. How do I overcome these problems?Please help

    Kindly help me to solve these problems.

    Hi abhi_lara,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues with generalized slowness and photo behavior after upgrading your iPhone to iOS 8, you may want to first try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you are still having issues after the reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring the apps or your data. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Iphone 3gs running slow and freezes

    My iphone 3gs is running slow and will freeze up since I upgraded to v5.
    Is anyone else having this problem and if so is there a fix??

    Some Users have reported that a Restore has Resolved Issues after the Upgrade...
    If a Restart and a Reset do not help... Try a Restore from Backup... if the issue persists Restore as New...

  • IOS5 slow and unstable on iPhone 4

    It feels like iOS 4 on the 3G all over again, but after installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) on Friday I've definitely noticed slowdowns in responsiveness and some application hangs. For example, the camera app hung several times and the Netflix app would often get stuck on buffering a new video until closed and re-opened. These all happened multiple times.
    Oh well, time for the 4S I guess ;-)

    Hey everyone, was the same for me until 2days ago. However I booked an appointment at a genius bar at the Sydney apple store and 20minutes later walked out a happy man. The first question staff asked was "did I download the iOS5 over wifi?" and I replied with a "yes!". She explained that for some reason they found that downloading over wifi corrupts some of the files and this is what causes the pain we've all been experiencing. Before going to apple I scoured the web for answers, but all suggestions about turning everything off was useless but restoring my iPhone 4 with a stable iOS5 from the Apple store fixed all of the above we've been complaining about! So solution go to your nearest apple store and get them to restore your device with the stable OS they have! A new restore atleast from the genius bar solved all battery, lag, apps shutting down etc etc problems! If you do go to the apple store make sure you back everything up before, even if you don't they'll offer to back-up, up to 5gb in the cloud, but this might not be enough for all. Make sure you advise you're friends who havent taken the leap yet to download via cable and NOT wi-fi!! Hope this solves everyone's woes like it did mine; good luck!

  • IPhone 4 very slow and not very responsive

    Hello - ever since updating to ios5 my phone has been significantly slower. I close my open apps regularly and don't have a crazy amount (about 6 pages worth) but the phone is just very slow. For example, if I get a text message and go to open it, and then try to click in the text box to start typing, nothing happens. It takes a good 6-8 seconds before the phone even recognizes me touching the text bar which is incredibly annoying. The camera is often slow too, having a shutter lag of 10 seconds sometimes. I would wipe my phone and do a restore, but I think that will just restore all of my backed up data which will probably not work, and I really would not want to start from scratch and lose all of my 4 years of text message history, etc. Any ideas?

    Very few apps run in the background since there is no reason or benefit for nearly all apps to do so. The overhwelming majority of apps are quit or suspended with leaving the app. An app being available in the recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background, and removing apps not running in the background from the recently used apps bar or dock doesn't accomplish much if anything.
    How often do you power your iPhone off and on?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, you can restore again from the existing backup.

  • IPhone 5 WIFI slow and sometimes doesn't connect

    Hi
    Wierd one this... my iPhone 5 (IOS 7.0.4) has been working absolutely fine since I have had it... a few days ago I started experiencing VERY slow download rates via my home Wi-fi connection. Instead of 20+ megabits/s that I previously got, it has dropped down to 0.2 at best. In addition to this, the wi-fi connection (which is at full bars, and when next to the router) will just drop. When I try and reconnect, I get the "Unable to Connect message".
    My wife has an iPhone 5 too, and she gets 20+ megabits/s constantly using the same connection, as does my iPad Air and Macbook Pro. 3G - not a problem at all.
    I have tried the following but still no joy:
    1) Different Wi-fi network - at work, I get 20+ megabit/s and no problems.
    2) Reset all Settings
    3) Restore from New (not using an existing backup)
    4) Changed the router to a different type
    5) Static IP address
    6) Renew Lease
    Tearing my hair out.... part of me thinks hardware issue, but why does it work ok on my Work network?
    Any thoughts, please?

  • Iphone 5 - Switchs on and off automatically

    Hello,
    I have just encountered the following problem on my Iphone 5.
    I have bought my phone an year ago and updated IOS to IOS7 and had no issues till now.
    I was playing a game and the device shut down automaticall and immediatly reboots only to shut down again and again.
    Following is the link to the video in this regard.
    http://youtu.be/g9ssPGrZA9Y
    Please let me know of the possible solution to this.
    Thanks in advance

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, set it up "as new device" How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, repeat the set up again, this time without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes due to switching on and off, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • Iphone is running slow and lagging

    My battery life is not neccassarly anything to complain about. I keep the brightness all the way down and usually can make it through the day no problem. However, I have already lost my wall charger for the iphone (the little white one, smaller then the ipod charger). So I use one of my old ipod chargers and my ipod car charger which connects to the car lighter. Both are intended for the ipod and i occassionally charge it on my iphone dock using the USB cord.
    About two weeks after getting the phone (ive had it for about two months) the thing starts lagging and completely freezes at some points when i simply hit the home button to leave safari or somthing. I have to wait several seconds for it to run through everything i just pressed to actually happen in a very quick few seconds. LAGGGGG!!!! anyways ive tried resetting the battery by letting it run completely down then charge it for about eight hours while it is off. But each time i try to plug it in when the battery is dead and keep it off it turns back on in my wall outlet and the computer, then i turn it back off and leave it be for 8 hours and the battery didnt even charge. I really dont want to buy a new iphone charger but is that what i have to do to get my phone working again. Or do the chargers not even matter and its caused by somthing esle?
    Basically any help would be great and ive already read a bunch of forums on the battery life and stuff for the iphone but nothing had answered all of my questions. I just want to know if im doing somthing wrong and if i am what i should do now

    Since there are no viruses that infect or effect OS X which has been available for over 6 years and counting, I wouldn't be overly concerned or concerned at all about a virus or spyware problem with your iPhone. With the 1.1.3 update, iPhone applications are no longer running as root. All applications now run as the user 'mobile' instead of as root and preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root which is in advance of 3rd party "official" installable applications.
    Troubleshooting steps in order are power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore.

  • HT1688 I've heard that iPhone 3GS got slower and more delayed when iPhone 4 & 4S came out, so will iPhone 3GS get even more delayed and slower when the new iPhone 5 comes out?

    Just wondering

    No one I know, that has a 3GS, has experienced any "slow down" problems, nor am I aware of any such widespread problems. If there were, this forum would be flooded with posts attesting to such...it is not. Millions of this units were sold & the vast majority of users have zero issues.
    Everytime Apple updates the iOS, reports surface of floods, people going bald, their pets run away, their house burn down, etc., etc. Been like this since the first iOS update. Widespread? No.

  • The touchscreen of my iphone is not working, and I want to backup my most recent photos onto my mac, but I have a passcode that I have changed since my most recent backup around a month ago. What could I do to get my photos back?

    As the title says,
    My iphone touchscreen stopped working around two days ago, so I cannot input my passcode. I am trying to backup my most recent photos as I have been on a trip abroad to phuket the past week, and got back home but did not have time to move my photos from that trip onto my mac before the touchscreen stopped working. I have a problem because I backed up my iphone last around a month ago, but have changed my passcode since so my iphone is not allowing me to back up onto my mac through itunes. I wish I at least hadn't changed the passcode, or had my photos on icloud, but I have so many photos that the icloud storage would cost so much for me to keep them updated.. I am so frustrated right now as it's not that I have forgot my passcode, or that I don't know it at all, but I know it. I wish there was a software that I could use on my mac to enter the passcode or something. Is there a way I could do something about it?!

    So you are not using Photo Stream? If you are, then you can turn on Photo Stream on iCloud on your Mac, and then go to iPhoto or Aperture and the Photo Stream will show under "Web" in the sidebar.
    You can also set up your iPhoto or Aperture preferences to automatically import your Photo Stream, so any photos you take with your iPhone camera will upload and import automatically and will show under events, broken into monthly groupings.
    Photo Stream does not use any of your iCloud storage.
    Here are the Preference Screens I'm referring to:
    iPhoto:
    Aperture:
    One other thing concerning your Touch Screen. Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost) to see if that will get your Touch Screen working again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays see if your Touch Screen is working.
    Best of luck,

  • I can not install  Itunes 10.5 on vista or windows 7 my iphone 4 is much slower and freezes when i go to the store they turn me away with my laptops and tell me to buy there computer thats the only answer. I know there has to be away around it?

    I ca not install  Itunes 10.5 on vista or windows 7 my iPhone 4 is much slower and freezes and also certain apps and also certain features will not work on the phone now that I cannot update it to ios5. When I go to the store they turn me away with my laptops and tell me to buy there computer that's the only answer. I know there has to be away around it? I am also up for a new upgrade on my second phone line and was going to get a 4s but now I am thinking it may be the wrong choice I am very unhappy with Apple right now...

    WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

  • 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 email is very slow and does not refresh automatically.

    My Yahoo and Gmail accounts on my iPhone are very slow.  They do no refresh automatically and I often have to restart the wireless to push emails out.  I thought it might be the email provider but it happens with both accounts. 

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps and see if any of them help.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
