Medking Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey, So my 3G (yes, the same one I took for a swim round about December time) has been pretty slow recently, with ridiculous lag. I'm wondering if there are certain apps which just cause the 3G (since it's discontinued) to just overload. I noticed that playing the iPod and trying to nav Facebook was painful. I've also deleted Boxcar, because for some reason I was getting like 200+ notifications erroneously... Any other hints/tips? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Star Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Stick to iOS 3.1.3, do not uprade This. I regret upgrading to 4.0 on my iPod Touch 2G. Older devices just can't handle iOS4 or iOS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medking Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 also is it worth jailbreaking? I'm not under any contract obligations or anything like that anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medking Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 that will just make it even worse found a post that baby steps how to go back, but is there any way of doing this without losing everything? seems silly that Mac don't allow you to choose the version of OS that you use.

The Guvnor Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 How do I go back? (that may sound like a stupid question haha) I will give you a quick breakdown : 1. Get iTunes 9.1.1 (anything later will not work) & delete the iTunes folder in the music folder (so that the old profile is erased, as after using iOS4+ it wont be compatible with iOS3) 2. Download iOS 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 3. Put your iPhone into DFU Mode 4. Install iOS 3.1.3 5. After error halts installation do not panic (its supposed to be like that) 6. Use RecBoot to 'Awaken' your phone. 7. Enjoy the speed & stability of iOS 3 8(a). Sing Hallelujah 8(b). Swear at the buggy/feature incomplete software that is FCP X I kinda like option (b) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 29, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think it's more the apps themselves than the operating system. For instance, my iPhone 3G is pretty fluid, but the Facebook app has TONS of pauses and the load time is long. And only that app does this. insanelyapple 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted June 29, 2011 Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2011 Or you can ensure "Spotlight" searches are all unchecked, (settings) this helped me when I was still on a 3G with iOS 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Party Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 ^ same here, lost complete interest in my 3G after the iOS 4 update :( things are annoyingly laggy all the time, and the funny thing is I have few apps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This. I regret upgrading to 4.0 on my iPod Touch 2G. Older devices just can't handle iOS4 or iOS5. iOS 4 works just fine on my iPod touch 2g. Obviously not as smooth as on my iPad 2, however performance is decent enough. But then again I don't have it filled up tons of apps either.

Medking Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 ^^ Thanks, sorry, I sometimes do that! Ok, I'm going to try a few things. I don't really want to purposefully run outdated software on my Mac just for my iPhone... I may just try and make my iPhone as less-laggy as possible... It's not unusable, but some Apps are.
