iOS5 bugs (iPod Touch 4G)

iPod Touch 4G updated to iOS 5. Cover Flow is very slow and laggy, Youtube and Facebook (already updated for iOS 5) are laggy too. But most of all the homescreen sometimes freezes for a few seconds after unlocking the display. Finally the device is in general slower than before (iOS 4.3.5).

Is someone experiencing the same issues?

Please help .

iOS 5.1 fixed most of the iPod bugs... Anyway to fix the freezes bug you just have to go to settings , general then restore and tap on restoring without removing data (or something like that)...the iPod will restart...Now you only have to tap on "set my iPod as new" (don't panic...you won't lose anything but some minor settings like wallpaper and so on) the bug is Now fixed ...unfortunately till iOS 5.0.1 this fix Was only temporary (it lasted for about 2 months)

wow i am so * sadly* relieved other people are having the same issues. My husband said it was oporator error, the guy at appl esaid " your ipod is currupt, let me reset it and then go home wipe your itunes start over the problem should be fine" well i had all of one 3 hours with noe problems then it all came back. Apps wont open, wont shut off/ turn on right, randomly shuts down ! I COULD THROW THE DANG THING! And of course it was a gift from a family member who is no longer around so i cant get the reciept and online is says they verify the product warrenty BUT i get no services. I have tried all the trouble shoots on the website, and i am gettin NO RELIEF. My husbands 3 gn runs better then mine does. This is not right HELP!!!

I don't want to downgrade to iOS 4.XXX, but a good iOS 5.1 for the iPod touch. On my iPhone 3GS also with 256MB of ram, iOS 5.1 is very smooth and fast. Why is the 5.1 update on the iPod touch 4G so terrible? I don't know if anybody from Apple read these discussions, but if so: Apple, You got to do something about these iOS 5.1 issue for the iPod touch.

Am so disappointed in Apple and this most recent update. None of my album artwork is showing on my purchased songs on my iTouch, eventhough they are in my iTunes, and most of my artwork is missing from my albums. Most of my playlists have disappeared, eventhough they appear on my iTunes when I plug in my iTouch and can see them there on the drop down menu. I'm tempted to restore my iTouch but reading all the above posts it doesn't seem as if there is any point. What was a brilliant working device has now turned into something I hardly want to use 😟

I wonder why none listen to me considering I've opened this thread...anyway the solution to this issue is written up on this page by myself .....it is a very fast solution (1-3 minutes) but only temporary (it lasts 1 to 3 months)...anyway you can use this solution whenever you want without losing any data (including the game and apps data)...you will just loose some settings but not the relevant ones (you lose the wallpaper and wifi settings but not the notifications, email and so on for example) please let me know if it worked for you...
