iPad mini incredibly slow after io8

can work for some but not everyone.

the rollback is still the best option at the moment till 8 is smoothed out

Are you referring to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings? If not, which reset are you referring to?

There is no rollback. Apple stopped signing iOS 7 on Friday afternoon.

In settings reset all settings then you need to enter router wireless key. Bsydd uk

eh

I had the same problem as the OP

this thread was a google hit

so was how to downgrade

I posted here on Sep 28, 2014 2:58 PM approx 2 hours after I downgraded.

😉

That's quite strange, as this article says that downgrades are no longer possible as of Friday 26 September: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/26/apple-stops-ios-712-code-signing-restr icts-downgrading-from-ios-8

I Just followed peter_watt advise and now my iPad hums with 8.0.2. You might want to try it too......Chief.

Hi Peter, I have tried your suggestions on my iPad mini 1st gen without any joy so far.

Could you please clarify what iPad mini model do you have?

Many thanks for your help!

I Don't know much about computers, iPads etc, but I had the exact problem. I'm a great experimenter, so I started trying different things. Here is what worked for me.

1. Settings > wifi > press the i in the circle next to your network > change the DNS number to 8.8.8.8

2. Turn all your devices off > turn the power off to your router and wait 30 seconds > turn router power back on > turn on all devices

((I'm not positive, but I think I reset my NETWORK SETTINGS AS WELL, BUT MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR PASSWORD FOR YOUR NETWORK IF YOUR NETWORK IS SECURED!)

i have no clues what this did, but ALL the problems you mentioned in your post (Ruthrebecca) have been resolved On my iPad mini.

I am at my wits end. I also have an IPad 2 which was working beautifully until I install IO8. Now it does the following:

1. Screen freezes up

2. Can not shut it off to reboot

3. is very, very slow when trying to type up any kind of inquires, like Google searches

( letters not responding to what I have typed

4. Screen will suddenly go dark, or freeze, or will not respond

Yes, I have experienced what you have. I have never had to reboot as many times in a day with this new system. Have deleted any information or apps to see if that helps. Other then rebooting nothing helps long term to get back to what I remember what my IPad 2 use to do. I too, want to know what I do now.

Good lord! THANK YOU!

It totally worked for me! <3

I took peter-watt's advice

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

and now my iPad Mini is running much better. Good luck. s

To fix your problems you can try going to general, then accessibility. You should see reduce motion -- turn that off then increase contrast next. You should also have at least one gigabyte of storage left. If Safari is also slow then clear cookies and cache. You could also try turning off multitasking gestures in general and canceling some apps in the notification part of general.

hoped this helped

HI,

i just did the reset as suggested and it fixed my safari problem.

I have done the reset two times now and it only makes things better for a short while. Maybe two days depending on how much you use it seemingly. After doing a factory reset 3 days ago, my iPad Mini is incredibly laggy in Safari and generally slow using everything else. When typing a simple word like "the" it can take upwards of 3 seconds for the text to appear. Web pages take about 5X longer to load than an iPhone 5s on the same network. Links within safari regularly do not work, must be tapped several times or the page must be scrolled first to allow for a tap to be recognized. It doesn't help that the safari progress bar is buggy and doesn't give feedback half the time. Although safari is the worst experience related to the issue, it is not alone... tap recognition throughout the OS is generally bad or slow.

This iPad is only 2 months old with no apps on it and it is unusably slow. Every other device on the network works fine (20mbs connection). I am going to take it in to an apple store. Although that may be a fruitless endeavor.
