ios 7 is too slow for iPod touch 5

Hi Kill Bane,

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. This solution has worked for several posters who have been having an issue with lag on iOS 7.

Cheers,

The problem your having is what you call (lagging). I've went through this on some library computers that were never maintained properly. When you type it lags and the letters come out several seconds after you type the letters. Sounds like a real pain!

The Increase Contrast feature goes on Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast (turn it on).

You can also try disabling the parallax effect (Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion (turn it on), but it has no sensitive effect on performance or battery usage.

I also tried several reboots after closing all apps in multitask. I'll try a clean restore to see what happens.

Yes, it's possible and I just did :-)

Well it its laggy, because of the operating system its not optimized yet, its only built for 8 month, and it wasnt enough to make 4 perfect different os on any single device, but i have no laggy problem, about the laggy, its because of the "assistive touch", the iphone 5 also have this problem, the whole system went slow when this feature on, maybe a fews more updates the ipod touch would run really smoothly, maybe on 7.1,

So i think is, the apple focused on releasing the ios 7 for iphone 5, and the ipad gen, the ipod will be coming soon, because of the users are less than iphone/ipod users

My ipod touch wasnt laggy at all, its the os problem, its just like missed the frame rates on some touch range

i got it ! thanks a lot !

This sloved my problem on iPad 4. Many thanks to you 🙂

I thought of restoring the device completely before i read your comment.

Had a terrible experiance with my iPad3, but thanks to your reset all settings trick, it seems to of worked. Thanks a bunch.

it works!!!! thanks for the information :)

If you have assisted touch activated it makes a huge difference. So if you have it on you may want to turn it of in the settings.

Have you tried a simple reset? Cleared your history later, or cleared cookies?

I just bought an iPod touch 5 which came with ios6.1.3, and right now it runs buttery smooth. But so was my itouch 4 on ios 4. Ios 5 slightly reduced its perfoance, and ios 6 made it frustrating to use. Same thing happend to iPhone 3G when it went from ios 3 to 4. Got slow. I think I'm going to stay put on ios 6. Although apple is really forcing my hand here because it keeps downloading ios 7 over the air and the "other" space grew. So that ISPW is just sitting there wasting space I could be using.

I recently purchased the 5th generation ipod touch as well, like a week ago. I am having speed issues as well, constant lag, freezing, etc. i can type something up and when i am done typing, the ipod is still playing catch-up. The battery is also draining faster than some of my friends iphones! I try to keep the brightness down as much as possible, i put it in airplane mode whenever i can, i never use bluetooth, etc. it is on the latest iOS 7.0.4 I was able to find out that i have somehow used 72.5% of my existing ram... Any advice anyone? I have tried a hard and soft reset, and i always close out all my apps when i am finished using them so nothing is running in the background.

Well, I did the deed and iOS 7 is running pretty good on my it ouch 5. It still runs smooth. Also, I noticed I touch 4 also runs better on iOS 6.1.5. So, I don't regret the update. Even after the "the process we dare not speak", it still runs smoothly even after installing various tweaks.

I used to do this to all of my iDevices, i actually used to charge others to do it for them. I wasn't really planning on doing it until the release of iOS 7.1, but i figured at this point, what can it hurt? So i did the deed. I must say, this solved a whole world of problems plus some.
