iPad mini incredibly slow after io8

Try a device reset:

Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)

1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.

2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Exact same problem - even something simple like typing the first line of an email takes ages, and that's after waiting for the keyboard to appear in the first place....it's pretty much unusable.

I also have an iPad mini with iOS 8. I have not experienced any of the problems listed above, but my Wi-Fi connection is slow, I cannot create events in Calendar without problems, my Multitasking Gestures sometimes don't work, the Multitasking screen appears with a delay, and Keyboard shortcuts disappear after I restart my iPad.

The problem that I am experiencing with Calendar: When I try to create an all-day event, it will make the event start 1 day earlier than I specified and end on the correct date. So every time I create an all-day event, I have to go back to the event to correct the start date and move the end date back by 1 day. For example, if I created an all-day event for today only (20 September), it will instead create an event for 19-20 September.

The Multitasking Gestures problem mainly occurs when I want to access the Multitasking screen from the Home Screen. I swipe up with four fingers, but most of the time it doesn't work. When I double-click the Home button, I have to wait around 1 second before the Multitasking screen appears.

After I installed iOS 8, I noticed that my keyboard shortcuts were not working. I checked them in Settings and they were gone. I added them back, but after I restarted my iPad a few days later, I once again noticed that they were not working. As soon as I opened Settings, they appeared and have been working since.

I am hoping that Apple will fix these bugs, as they are rather annoying!

I am experiencing the same on my iPad Mini wifi. Safari is unusable due to lag time, network errors & crashing. Some sites just lock up and freeze. Other Apps are unusable. Really disappointing Apple. Did you guys test this with real users?

Im using iphone 5s , everything working fine exept internet speed i almost tried all broswer like chrome,opera but the problem still exist..even fb is not opening properly on my broadband connection.Really pathetic!!hve done network reset,phone reset but no result.

Not only does this affect my mini but my iPad Air as well. Both are laggy and the Internet has slowed down on both. I have tried all the known remedies..I have powered down...many times but nothing seems to work.

This is an iOS 8 problem since both devices worked fine before. Apple needs to address this issue asap.

Yes, the update is horrible. I wnat to throw out the iPad mini, I am so upset. Need to go back to IOS 7.0.

It has rendered the mail app useless. What I need the most!

HELP!!!

It is not only the iPad mini. I have an iPad 2 and once I installed IOS 8 it became so slow, it is horrible to use. It is so frustrating. Apple software ***** more and more with every release. I also tried to install IOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and it failed several times, now I am not going to install it until Apple figures things out!. what happened to Apple release flawless products? LONG GONE!!!

TThis worked for me. http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/22/ios-8-wi-fi-problems-fix/

The wiifi on my Ipad Air will not work in our home office environment. If i switch it off and only use LTE login it will work fne.. Also IO8 appears to be increadibiltiy hungery on batteries. I have turned off most notification on Apps and it has improved. Battery use on iPhone 4S is halved with this program. regret loading IO8 on my IPhone.

I feel every word of this post.

The difference was chalk & cheese iOS8 also rendered my iPad Mini useless.

It wasn't just a slow wifi issue like loading pages or content the entire machine would lag opening apps (no not running 6 million in background) and ESPECIALLY typing.

Done reset

Done setup new

Updated via itunes

Best fix was to just rollback to 7

Well you cannot go back to 7 so that is not best anything.

my iPad is same as yours, ios8.0.2 is same as yours so as mine is fast and works almost perfect it must be other software or settings on yours.

• Backup
• erase all data and settings
• Set Up as new ipad
• try that, I bet it works great
• then restore what you need.

Try a reset Go to settings & reset after this reset you need to enter your Router wireless key Then wait for set up. This worked for me on 2 iPads 3 days ago Al working ok now. Bsydd uk

yeah righto chief best stick to giving answers about what you know because simply put I just went back to 7 an it works as fine as the day I unboxed it.

and I'm not interested in any little side stories about iOS 7 every single person reading this knows full well it refers to the latest available version of 7
