Hi.
Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, Cover Flow in Music app is terribly slow... Lag to see the covers. I've heard over there that iOS 5 doesn't reduce the size of the covers to a standard, so the iPhone has to resize them everytime you watch them.
And.. When device locked, playing music and you double tap to change the song, the cover also changes with a "long" lag..
Anyone having these problems?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2
Why do we have to resize the covers?
What about iTunes on your Mac or PC?
you will get bad quality covers after resizing
when you buy music from iTunes it comes with 600x600 resolution
I dont think thats smart way to solve this
Hi Arik,
You don't HAVE to resize.... and I did say it's not an ideal solution. But it worked for me until/if ever Apple fix the bug. I'm not forcing anyone to take up the solution. Just offereing help if you want it...You could always keep the very slow CoverFlow. 🙂 I just offered a possible fix based on my findings. I proved IN MY CASE the slow coverflow was definately due to large album art.
I also agree that the resolution will be lower if you go all the way to 250x250 pixels, but on my iPhone 4 AND on my PC, I didn't notice any real degradation. That said, the tool I offered allows you to set the default resolution to anything you like..... The instruction on how to change the default is in the Help files.
For info, I always previously set my album art to a minimum of 600x600 pixels. In some cases my Album Art was larger than 1000x1000 pixels. Personally though, after this, I'm happy to compromise. Like I say. That's my choice...
Finally, if you don't want to reset all your original MP3s artwork. A plan B would be to copy a selection of your music collection to a second location as a trial. That way you will not compromise your original collection. You can always switch the default location for Music in iTunes.... Try with your original artwork verses the reduced size artwork. That's what I did.....
Just a thought.....
Yup.
Ashame isn't it?
More than half the 200+ features are worth nothing.
That store button really Made me mad tho.
Oh well.
The same here. iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S. Cover Flow is slow and cover images don't stack correctly.
iOS 5 Cover Flow really slow on iPhone 4
