my Iphone 4 is slowing down in opening any apps, even when opening the phone, moving the arrow to right it takes a while to screen appear, maps, facebook, ... takes a while to start up, and shows that the iphone hourglass is rotating. is it for the apps or the amount of music in it.
is there any way to defrag? please help
iPhone 4, Other OS, 4.3.3
Make sure you have at least 10% of your hard drive free. Reboot and kill all the apps that are in your multitasking tray. You can access it by double-tapping your Home button. Install an app called System Status to monitor your system activity. You may have some process hung up causing the slow down.
Hi,
I was facing same problem about 2 -3 back until the day I fed up and restored as new iPhone and restore my recent back-up; which doesn't help much. Same lagging, freezes while switches screens, opening apps, slide to unlock, search iPhone screen, settings, camera app... and it goes on :(
So finally I restored my phone as new iPhone with no back up to be restored, like a teen. I must say somehow response is faster than previously. I used for like 3 days with no apps and music into it, now same slowness is back when I installed just few apps (iPhoto, twitter, Facebook, find my iPhone, whatsapp, viber, im+ pro and iBook).
Also I called upon apple care customer care, they suggesting to get a replacement. Now I don't understand my iPhone was smooth and blazing fast when I bought it and tell me tell you I didn't even happen that I dropped my iPhone & something like that which could affected hardware of iPhone.
Read almost all the articles over this but all in-vein.
Two words for you: planned obsolescence. iPhone 5 is coming up in few months, would it sell as much, if the version number 4 would still be working perfectly? I've been experiencing the same problems with the few latest iOS versions. Booting etc. doesn't help.
Mine seems to have slowed down the past few months quite a bit. When I wake it up, it sometimes takes 10 to 15 seconds before it will react to any gestures, including unlocking it. When I launch the music app, same thing. I suspect that the iOS is getting sloppy, perhaps to force people to the latest iPhone when it comes out.
I tried this out and it worked great, actually. Clearing out some space and the System Status app got my phone back up to nominal speed. Thanks for the tip.
Turn off triple click home button from black/white. Really made a differance!
