Why is my iPhone so slow

Why is my iPhone 3G so slow. I deleted all pics and messages but it's still slow. When answering a call the slider bar won't move, it takes about 3 or 4 attempts. HELP! It's driving me insane.

Have you done any of the basic troubleshooting steps discussed in the User Guide?
Restart
Restet

  • Why is my iPhone is slow, laggy, unresponsive.

    How come my iPhone has slow texting, sometimes unresponsive touch screen interface, slow OS and occasional freezes. Sometimes when I start an application it freezes and a little static happens and then the Apple logo pops up and it's all normal after like 30 seconds. I am trying to reset it and crap and can someone give me an explanation. Also, when does the next firmware update come out, it's been at 2.0 for a while and I want them to fix some of these issues that I presume everyone has been experiencing thus far.

    I too am experiencing these problems with safari tending to crash about 10 times a day. More frustrating and something that needs to be cured as a matter of urgency is the text lag that happens at least 2-3 times day, this is a serious issue with the iPhone 3g that renders the basic functions of the phone inoperable. There is nothing worse than typing a paragraph into a forum such as this and have to watch characters appear 2-3 seconds after they were typed, then to hit backspace once only to have to sit and watch while your phone freezes you out and proceeds to delete every word you've typed and subsequently crash out of safari again. The touch steen keyboard is paramount to iPhones sucess as you have no alternative but to use it. Apple needs to get the finger out and fix whatever ram issue is causing this lag, and quickly. I have seen reports of this issue on other forums aswell

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Why is my iphone 4 slow when updating apps

    Does anyone know why it takes days to update some of my apps?

    What connection are you using to update the apss? e.g. 3G/4G/LTE/WiFi
    If you have a very slow connection that could be the cause of the issue but then again it shouldnt take a couple of days to update an app.

  • Why is my iphone 4s slow connecting through wifi

    connecting through 3g is fine, but wifi is a no go. the phone does recognise my network, just doesn't connect to the internet. any help would be great.
    many thanx

    You're welcome.

  • Why is my iPhone being slow?

    I wasnt sure what section to put this under, but it seems like this is the most general forum...
    I've had my iPhone for about 3 weeks now, and it started acting really slow this past week. I constantly clear the internet history, cookies, and cache so it should not be acting up. However last week I was fed up with it and decided to restore it. It restored and after that it worked fine. However for the past two days it has been doing the same thing. So today I restored it again and it was still being slow after it had been restored. Usually what will happen is it will just stall for about 15 seconds on one action and eventually go to it. This can be incredibly frustrating as I sit and wait for the phone to execute the instruction. Anybody know what could be wrong?

    Sometimes, slowing and freezing is due to some specific identifiable cause, such as having WiFi turned on and not being connected to a network (the phone is constantly looking for a network to connect to, and this takes up resources).
    Other times, it may be due to processes not terminating properly. In these cases, resetting the iPhone may help. Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    If you find that this problem keeps recurring and you are not able to find a specific cause, you may want to have your iPhone serviced.

  • Why is my iPhone so slow and signals are jumping in and out

    My iphone is failing my with the signals after i updated the software to ios7

    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and 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?

  • Why is my iPhone 5 S WiFi speed 50% slower than my MacBook Air 2012?

    Why is my iPhone 5 S WiFi speed 50% slower than my MacBook Air 2012?

    Hello jagimc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    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, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT4623 Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???

    Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???

    How much free space do you have?  When was the last time you restarted the phone (Home & Sleep buttons held together)?    Have you cleaned out unused apps?
    All of these will diminish performance of your phone.  

  • HT201406 why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

  • Why is the library so slow to upload to iCloud?

    Hi there,
    After a bit of hassle getting Photos to accept all my pictures from iPhoto I thought it was all fixed and ready to go to cloud storage so that I can have the same library on iMac, Macbook Pro and my iPhone.
    My photo library isn't that big, about 40Gb (4607 items) but it seems to be taking forever to upload to iCloud.
    My broadband speed isn't great (Around 6.5 MBPS download and around 0.7MBPS upload) but after several days my Photo library states that it is uploading 4570 items. When i try to run photos from my macbook there are only a few photos on there.
    At this rate I'll probably die of old age before all the photos are in the cloud and bounced back onto my macbook & phone.
    Other than slow broadband speed and apple being busy with people like me uploading, are there any other reasons why this is taking so much time? Bad settings anywhere?
    As another example my iMac has been on for a couple of hours today and the Activity monitor states that 887.2MB has been sent to the cloud. That's pretty damm slow isn't it?
    Thanks

    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
    download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
    the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
    says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
    I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
    be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
    System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
    get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
    called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
    pretty.
    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,

  • Why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi

    why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi?

    My older sister has an iPhone 4S with Verizon, and my iPhone 4S is with AT&T.
    At Xmas this past year, I used the same speed test app on her iPhone and on mine to check each carrier's download and upload speed. This was in Dallas where both carriers have good coverage. My download and upload speeds with AT&T blew her iPhone's download/upload speeds with Verizon out of the water. Wasn't even close.
