Hello,
Can anyone give me tips for speeding up my iDevice?

No, those apps are not all running. They are recently used apps. Very few apps actually run in the background. Closing these non-running apps will do nothing to speed up the phone.

General shutter speed of the camera in iPhone 3GS?

I'm well aware that the shutter speed in the above can't be controlled by the user, however, does anybody know WHAT the shutter speed of the iPhone is set to? Oeksen37

The aperture is fixed at f/2.8 with an ISO of 50 to 200 (but, one site reports ISO 70-1000), and the auto-exposure adjusts the electronic shutter in a range of 1/10th to 1/500th second (might go faster, not positive on the fastest possible speed).
If you have an EXIF metadata viewer, you can look at the specifics for pics you take on the camera - those values are stored with the pics.

Background applications bogging down the iphone?

Hey everyone, I am a brand new iphone user. I used to own an HTC 8515 and I recall that it kept applications running in the background and eventually it would start to eat up a lot of RAM. There was a task manager however where you could clear all running programs.
I have been lead to believe that the iphone does the same thing, yet there is no task manager function. I know that holding down the home button closes the app permanently, but is there a way to clear all running programs in the background?
Also, with running all the applications in the background, does this become a problem as far as the speed of the iphone etc? I just have this thing where I like to keep my apps closed and running everything smoothly.
Thanks in advance!

This has been all over the forum here. From apps crashing, from iPhones rebooting, and in your case, applications slowing down the iPhone, even known keyboard typing slowdown, opening of apps, etc. it all points to memory, or lack there of.
Holding down the "home" button is supposed to close the application. Holding down the "home" button and "standby" (top) button is supposed to reboot the device to clear out everything.
I can't say that all these things have been confirmed will work 100% of the time. As for myself, I try to close out 3rd party applications by holding down the "home" button and so far it has worked. However, when you are playing around with the phone, opening applications and closing it out , at some point you will bog down the device. Wait approximately 10 minutes and it clears itself out. At least that's what it is supposed to do and I have tested this and it does work.
The problem is that 10+ minutes is sometimes precious for me so rebooting is always an option.
So at this point in time, it's a known issue that everyone is addressing, now just cross your fingers and hope apple has a solution.

HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update

Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?

I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6

Try to reboot the iPhone, if that doesn't help make a backup via iTunes, and restore the iPhone via iTunes.
Otherwise disable background refresh, and kill all apps

It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software. I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this. How can i speed up the downloads?

It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

Using the iphone to view a video recorded on a separate high speed camera

I use a high speed video camera to film athletic motion. Can I play this back on my iphone? The files are in avi format and would I require any adaptors. Thanks, I am very new to using the iphone.

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.
Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device?
Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT5467 Does location service affect the speed of my iphone 4?

When Location Service is on does it affects phones speed?

Hi Isko94,
This shouldn't affect the speed of your iPhone. It's really just a great feature to take advantage of like maps and such you can find in that article.
If your phone speed does not seem up to par, some things to check is your usage, multitasking. Sometimes back up and restore can help as well.
Hope this helps
-Cheers

How do I speed up the email refresh time on my Mac ? iPad and IPhone almost a minute or more faster using same connection?

How do I speed up the email refresh time on my MAC?

Hi ToddSATX,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you receive email a few minutes faster on your iOS devices than on your Mac. This may be normal behavior, although there are a few settings that you can check if the delay is longer than that.
If you have a portable Mac, you may notice an improvement when it is connected to the power adapter. You can also select "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" from Preferences > Accounts > Advanced in the Mail menu (at the top left of the screen).
You can find this information here:
Mail (Yosemite): General preferences
Check for new messages
When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet).
An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences.
If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Time to upgrade: Long time Apple user, get the Iphone 4 or Droid 3???

Hello,
It's time to upgrade to a new phone for both me and the wife, she needs a new phone now as her LG env3 is acting up. I'm a looong time Apple user, and of course the Apple iphone is a natural to pick, however It'll cost $350 for 2 when we use the last $50 credit for new/every 2. The new Droid 3 looks very interesting and we can get 2 for $149 for both with the credit and the BOGO sale going on.
So which should we get, mainly use the phone for talk, texting and will of course check emails, etc once we get a smart phone. The Env3's we have now are good at texting with the keyboard and of course good for talking.
If we go for the Apple, I could get her the iphone 4 for her and I can wait for the iphone 5 if it's actually coming out this year.
Tony

I currently have a Droid Global 2 and while I enjoy the expanded features of a smartphone, I miss my Env2 terribly for one main reason : The keyboard was the best!. The Droid Global 2's slide-out keyboard lacks dedicated number keys and is a bit cramped compared to the Env, but much faster/accurate than an iPhone.
I will be upgrading to the DROID 3 as it now has dedicated number keys and a larger screen.
While I really wanted an iPhone, the lack of a physical keyboard was the dealbreaker. I test drove a friends phone and made so many errors in email, texting, dialing #s that I knew it wasn't going to be acceptable for me. It took forever to do basic texting...and I have very small hands/fingers! Can't imagine how big 'man hands' would handle the iPhone.
If keyboard accuracy/'speed is not a big deal the and iPhone will work for you. The iPhone is much lighter as it doesn't have a physical keyboard....some people just have to have Apple regardless.
Good luck on the Apple

"The iPhone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."

I have been having this problems since I got my iphone last year. Early on the phone would sync after 2-3 tries but as of the last 2-3 months I have been only able to sync it 2-3 times even after trying all the solutions presented by the troubleshooting and reading forum posts that seem to have a similar or near similar problem.
The first message I get after having the phone sync is
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
After itunes attempts to sync again I get a different message that says
"The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."

I had the same problem and fixed it.
"The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."
I think it is caused by downloading too many apps, or large apps, and then when syncing over USB it doesn't recognise the iPhone and you get "The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."
To fix this:
1. Ensure iTunes is closed & iPhone is disconnected but keep USB cable connected to iPhone
2. hold down CTRL + SHIFT on your keyboard
3. connect USB cable to PC and wait. If iTunes doesn't start for a minute then start it (keeping hold of CTRL + SHIFT)
4. if it wont let you start iTunes or all your icons are selected then release CTRL + SHIFT
5. when iTunes starts it may ask you about safe mode or something similar, say yes
6. Your iPhone should list as a device as normal, click sync.
It will then start the sync as normal and you may find it will transfer only one or two apps and you may get the dreaded error message again as I did. However, persist with the above steps and eventually it sync'd all my apps with no error message. Because I have only just done this I haven't downloaded any more apps so it might be a frequent thing but better than the error message.
