Lagging and Screen Freezing After iOS 4 Update

Hey all. I have the iPhone 3GS and ever since I updated the software to iOS 4, my iPhone has been lagging and freezing. The lag is significant. For example, I'll start typing something using the keyboard and the letters won't show up for another 5 seconds after I have tapped them (sometimes even longer, like 15 seconds because the screen temporarily freezes). My phone has also frozen before. Today, it froze for the third time in about a month. Last night, while charging and while I was watching videos on YouTube, the screen froze completely and I was unable to lock the screen, go Home, or turn off the phone to restart it. I had to unplug it from its charger and let the battery burn out. Has anyone else had the same problem? How do I fix it? Should I take it to an AT&T store or Apple Store? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hey Zealia
I also have the iPhone 3G and since I updated the software to IS0 4, my iPhone has also been lagging but not freezing as in your case. I agree that the lag is significant as it wasn't before the update. When I press the home to slide to open the phone and enter my pin number it takes about an extra 5 to 15 secs for the 4 satrs to show up and then another 10 sec for it to go to the home screen. When sending SMS it takes about the same time as you are experiencing with the 5 seconds gap between typing and seeing it on the screen and the send bar only appears as it gets to end of sending the message so never too sure if it is being sent or not until the bar appears at the last 5 secs at end of sending. It also lags when you open a SMS takes about another 10 - 15 secs before it opens nd the list just goes on. Not sure if other users are having the same problems or if APPLE are aware since the iOS 4 update of these issues. If anyone knows how to get in touch with APPLE to make them aware of these problems and that a fix is needed can you let us know? Thank you!!!

  • Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

    My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
    It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
    As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

    I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
    Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
    If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
    I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
    Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

  • IPad mini problems with iMessage and screen freezing with IOS 8.3 update

    iPad  mini screen unresponsive with 8.3 update.  iMessage screen is blank or showing only old messages

    A word of advice ... Don't make changes before a deadline.
    You can still downgrade to 8.2.  Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.

  • Is anyone experience reboots and screen freezing after updating to 7.1 on iPod Touch 5?

    Is anyone experience the same thing? It's almost impossible to use my device now as those bugs occur each 10 minutes or so, and does Apple pretend to fix it on a future update?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                        
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPad freezes after iOS 7 update, touch screen often unresponsive ... Please

    Apple support - please post in plain English the exact steps you'd like customers to take to fix this.  Simply doing a reset - pushing the round button and on/off button and holding down does not work.   I've done this about. 20 times.  Where do you go to do a factory reset?  it sounds like a lot of people are having issues as the first open genius appt bar is Thursday in Dallas.

    Hello L8T,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    For your first 2 questions I recommend the same thing. Force quit all the apps that are running:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    Then restart the iPad:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    As for the icons and background movement, that is called the parallax effect, and can be turned off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.
    This article will give you more info on that:

  • Ipad mini retina blue screen issue after ios 8 update

    After update to iOS8 over wifi, my iPad Mini with Retina Display is working perfectly, however I had an issue twice since yesterday. While using it, I observed the screen became totally blue (like Windows crashing) and the ipad restarted. Anyone facing such issues?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • IPhone 5 keeps freezing after ios 7 update!

    I tried everything and my iphone continued freezing. There is a new 7.0.2 update but im on iOS 6.1.4 now and i dont know if i can go back again. I live in Iran and there is no support here so if its goes wrong i will not be able to use my iPhone again

    Downgrading the iOS is officially not supported by Apple. Instaling software to be able to downgrade can cause problems like these.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • Visual voicemail freezing after iOS 7 update. Any tips anyone?

    Anyone else having this issue? Takes a long time to delete messages.

    Close out of the phone app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check voicemail again.

  • My screen freezes after a few seconds on my iphone 5c and the display fades slightly so you can see faint lines in the background. I'm not sure whether this is easily fixable or a major problem. Have reset the device, but this has worked. Any ideas?

    I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

  • IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

    iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

    Hello, 92.romil. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad.  If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help.  The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad. 
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • Screen remains on after bringing it to my ear during a call (After ios 7 update)

    Screen remains on after bringing it to my ear during a call (After ios 7 update)

    Try these steps:
    Screen will not lock or go black when answering calls
    Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
    While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802)
    You might also want to try a reset:
    Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
