ios 5 make my ipod 4g slow

i have 5 gb left on a 8gb ipod tounh

First to take out the doubt of the free space... I have a 32gb iPod Touch 4g with 18gb free...

Probably all this have to do with the way iOS admins the free mem... only 256mb vs 512mb of the iPhone...

Anyway I guess is a sofware issue... Yesterday I download this game "Real Racing 2" that I used to play on the iPod touch 1st gen and I try before on the 4g before upgrade to iOS 5.x

The first time it loads I choose a track and the games force close...

The second time it works but the main screen is very slaggish and the track selection too... the games seams to loose a couple of frames while playing... this NEVER hapend before... and I just wanted to show to a friend how awasome it is... NOT.

If it's a matter of memory Apple should recall and put more memory on the devices... if it's a matter of software Apple should fix it asap... anyway Apple have to fix it! Cannot believe that I found myself using my old touch 1st gen...

Well I guess I'm not alone here. My iPod touch 4th gen (64 gb) has gone crazy since iOS 5. Half my games won't load without crashing, safari crashes every five web pages, the app store can only load the updates section. Try to load an app from the top 25 and it crashes. Music crashes constantly, it takes forever to turn on, and sometimes, of it has been ff for a while and I try to unlock it by using the sleep/wake button, it will take it as a double entry and unlock, lock it. Then I have to unlock it again. And I had to take the lock off because it took an extra 5-10 seconds just for it to recognize the fact that i typed in my pass code.

And then there is my iPad 2. It's doing much better, but still has the occasional hiccup (it had a rare safari crash while loading this page, but that almost never happens).

Apple better fix this

Also, my friends iPod touch 3G (32 gb) is flawlessly working in ios 5, so it seems to be a problem with iPod touch 4g only.

Oh and I keep my multitasking tray clear and have 5 GB of free space, so that isn't the issue

complaining here wont work.

what will work is this;

ALL CALL APPLE (check ur local apple phonenumber at the site)

Im serious, it will take max 10 minutes (10x0.10$=1$ costs)

They said;

'oh thats weird, we never heard of this problem before' @#$@%@# lying idiots.

But my solution is calling apple and then go to retail store,

to get refunded.

You can say at retail store you tried everything, even what apple said on phone (blabla restore blabla doesnt work).

They can check at retail store if you really called with apple, so that will work against them.

THen finally get a refund for this stupid ipod touch4g, its a fail with ios 5,0.

Im gonna buy myself a samsung galaxy s2.

GF apple, bye.

I'm not getting rid of it, and I just submitted a feedback form telling them everything I said here. But it is almost a year old (got it last year on Dec. 26), and it was bought through best buy, which would no longer take it back if I wanted to. No, I'm just going to wait it out and use my iPad until they fix it.

My ipod touch 4g was upgraded about 3 weeks ago and its been horrible ever since. Its so, sluggish, doesnt respond, and hangs to the point where I have to shut it off. This upgrade is something Microsoft would do, not Apple. I sure hope they will send an upgrade soon that fixes these bugs.

A WAY TO FIX THIS!

If you have many apps then press the home button twice and A app bar should come.

NOW hold down an app and press the red sign(➖) this will not delete the app . It will just get rid of the app

running in the background . HOPE THIS WORKS THIS ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME!!!1 😀 🙂

What are you guys Talking about i updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 5 and it is alot faster than it was before running on ios 4.3.5

I have the same problem.

I upgraded my iPod Touch 3rd Generation to iOS 5.0.1 and everything became incredibly slow. It takes a while before ipod starts and the lock screen wouldn't go away for like a min. I mean really it is that slow.

I did so many resetting, restoring, and setting up as new. I thought may be it just my problem, but seems like many people have this. I think its the iOS 5.0.1

I didn't have iCloud in the ipod before. So its not the problem.

Apple does not even let me downgrade the firmwhere to older version as well. That's what ***** too. I know people said it works with iPod Touch 2nd Generation, but it didn't work for me [3rd Generation].

Thanks, and Apple fixes this soon.

Having a 32GB Ipod touch 3rd gen. I have updated to IOS5 and also implemented the 1st patch for IOS5. It is now very very slow and prone to regular crashes.

Anybody know if their is a revised version of IOS5 yet. I haven't looked yet but can you not restore back to IOS4?

Thanks all.

Did anyone lose all of there music and video content when updating from 4.3.5 to IOS5.0.1? I updated my iphone 3GS and lost everything. Is IOS5 really worth downloading onto an ipod touch 4G.? Views on this would be great people.

Cheers

Yep - Lost everything on my Ipod Touch 4g when I did the upgrade, even though I did tell it to back it up. Took hours to get apps reloaded, and then with the music, I just reloaded about 1/4 of what I had on it before. It was very aggravating, especially when adding the slowness that my 1 yr old Ipod touch never had before.

Thanks suelovesdc your views and feedback have probably saved me a lot of work and potentially losing a lot of music! Think I will be sticking with 4.3.5!
