iPod touch (1st Gen) slower since FW 3.0
Posted: Jun 18, 2009 8:46 AM
 

Has anyone noticed that the 1st Gen iPod runs slower with the new OS? I upgraded yesterday and it feels slower when opening apps oder scrolling on webpages.

Anyone else?

1G Touch user here,
I have your problem too, mostly in App store and iTunes store on the Touch is incredibly slow and takes sometimes a minute to load up a simple page

Ditto on my touch 1G, and one of my coworkers said the same about his iPhone 3G...

I can't believe they didn't checked this.
I payed 8 EUR to smash my iPod. Playing games is impossible too.
Update please!

Well, according to this http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html
at the very bottom of the page, it says that it is only available for the 2nd gen iPod touch.
I do hope they make it available for the 1st gen though.

Cheers.

No, its for the 1st gen as well; the small "1 and 2" footnotes mean that some of the mentioned features only apply to the 2nd generation.

These are:

Bluetooth capability
Peer to peer gaming

All the other features apply to the first generation.

Oh, and yes, mine seems much slower too; I can't even get wifi to work anymore correctly (finds router but won't connect).

Yeah syncing is painfully slow. But I find Safari faster with 3.0. Also using a 3rd party video out cable is now fully disabled. At least with 2.x, video out worked if only for a minute.

Peer to Peer is only for 2nd Gen.? I thought if you had the wi-fi on it would work, or is it because the 2nd gen has a different kind of internet?

Ok, so everyone seems to be having trouble with the update on the 1st gen touch?

Tell me when it's fixed so I can buy it. :D

the first sync after OS 3.0 took about 50 mins to complete but after that it works as smooth as it has always done

Pish Posh! This is kindof funny because my 1st Gen is absolutely faster on the 3.0 software. It used to take me 3-4 seconds to launch the music player but now its less than a second. Apps load faster and games seem smoother to me since the update. I'm loving the extra features too. Now the downside, The music player crashes on me regularly when attempting to play media! Awesome! Speed and Crashes, how could anyone ask for more?
