After IOS 8 upgrade many aplications ( Safari, Facebook, etc) load very, very slow (comparing with 7 version) , with a significant delay of more than 10 seconds...
Who can I solve this problem? Any workaround?
PD
Apple should better test the software before delivering.
Thanks.
iPad 2
The iPad 2 is not a slow computer, and it should be able to fly through what appears to be simple 2D user interface problems.
I sometimes think Apple do this in their code, just to make us yield to upgrading:-
if (compID == iPad2)
{
wait();
}

No ... Apple has not set up this forum as an "official channel" to contact Apple or to use it for Apple's official customer support. SO ... your "disillusionment" at Apple not reading these messages here stems solely from your own MISUNDERSTANDING of what this forum is. It is solely for "users helping other users" for tech support issues that the user can implement completely by themselves.
If such a solution is not found from another fellow user here, then you always have the OFFICIAL APPLE SUPPORT that you can always go to at any time. That is where you will have Apple hear you and where you get an Official Response!
... it confirms the update is designed to make users buy new hardware.
Since you have already exhibited absolutely NO UNDERSTANDING of how this forum is set up and what it is for, you have extended that MISUNDERSTANDING to an idea which is solely a product of your own mind that Apple is forcing you to upgrade to another machine. That sort of thing might be true of another company, but it's certainly not true of Apple in this instance ... BECAUSE ... Apple is currently selling the iPad 2 model TODAY on its online store site and offers a TWO YEAR APPLECARE CONTRACT with it, which means that Apple fully well intends to support that iPad 2 model for at least another two years!
Don't try to MISLEAD OTHERS on the basis of your MISUNDERSTANDING and IMAGINARY CONCEPTS that you have inside your head!
Here's an article from ArsTechnica on an upcoming release from Apple to finally address iPad 2 and iPhone 4 issues with iOS 8.
If this update addresses many of the iOS 8 issues on the iPad 2, it should automatically fix the issues for iPad 3 owners, as well.

But wait... I thought there weren't any performance problems? 😉
I'm excited. Hopefully it will put an end to the longest month of totally uselessness and frustration! Please oh please....
I have an appointment at a Genius Bar tomorrow to have them look at my iPad 2. I have tried everything mentioned in these forums to get it to work smoothly. The biggest problem is Safari lagginess, loading pages, scrolling a page. Chrome is worse. Am I wasting my time and gas going to the Genius Bar? What hurts is I can't even sell this iPad working like it is. Unfortunately I think the word is getting around that ios 8 is a killer on an iPad 2. When it was running iOS 7 it worked like a charm.
Since Apple just seeded developers with iOS 8.1.1, I am dubious whether those videos are legit or not .
iOS and OS X developers are under NDAs that are supposed to prevent them for posting anythng about pre-release OS upgrades/updates.
Plus, developers work with Apple to report issues while they are testing updates of their applications under new updates/upgrades from Apple.
So, you really need to wait until the official release of this next update to really know if Apple and developers have addressed all or most of the issues plaguing older, qualified iDevices.
If still no joy on this update, I will still be waiting this out until Apple finally gets the issues sorted.
My iPad 3 may stay on iOS 7.1.2 for a lot longer period of time and maybe not upgrade, at all.
I am a user who does not just jump immediately to upgrade/update my computer OSes just because Apple send me a notification to do so.
With major system OSes, I am NOT an early adopter.
I think it's very unlikely that Apple is unaware of the issues caused by ios8 for iPad 2 users. I'm sure any large company would be interested to read the feedback of their products!
Also, are the ipad 2's they're selling now the same speed as they would have been a couple of years ago? or updated faster models?
and about your response to Apple updating software to make hardware slower, this has a lot of truth to it. Apple is known for doing this - if they wanted people to be happy with the older hardware models they could make it much easier to switch between different compatible iOS.
Oh come on, I've used computers from the late 80s that had windows and a 20 MHz chip! And they could easily draw a smooth floating window, and I can type into a text area without it pausing for 5-10 seconds.😁
The iPad 2 has a dual core 1000 Mhz chip with a GPU, so why the **** is it completely stalling on iOS 8 ? And with only one thing loaded at a time.
OSs should run in the background, as just a shell with which to give common interfaces for software, NOT sit there on the CPU like a monstrous leviathan!
If you want to clue Apple in on how to design their iOS ... I would suggest putting in an application, get hired and take charge of the department ... :-) ...
BUT, come to think about it, maybe a competitor would hire you and pay better to put you in charge of their "Apple-killer department" ... LOL ...
The main question is why are we not all seeing this behaviour on our iPad2s. It seems isolated, and despite the fact that the hardware is raging and certainly not as fast as new devices, there is undoubtably an issue for some iPad2 users and hopefully the upcoming update may address that issue for those effected as Apple say it might. Until then, we only have iOS8.1 so although my iPad2 is unaffected Those with issues need to stay patient as Apple will not release the update until they are sure it addresses any issues they are intending to address.

I think you might be forgetting that they released 8.0.0 and then a hasty update to that to address things... then 8.0.1 and now 8.1. Maybe just maybe they should have held off and not released 8x at all before being sure it would not cause as much distress as it has.... They could release 8.1.1 tomorrow and it would not be too hasty in my opinion, any more than the initial release and updates to updates.
Apple could have held onto iOS 8 for another year, and there would still be revisions and bug fixes. It never happens any other way when you have a major upgrade no matter how long you hold onto it, no matter what device you're talking about and no matter what company you're referring to ... and no matter what update you're talking about in the last 30 years!

My response was not to you. I have not forgotten the rushed release of 8.0.1 because of people screaming. It was shut down and replaced with 8.0.2 almost immediately. I don't see your point. If you are saying that any OS X or iOS or Android or Windows system that requires an update at some stage were a faulty and rushed release? There are Millions upon millions of people having no issues with most releases. As i say, be patient and if the future update does not cure your issue, then I would think your issue may lay somewhere else and require you to start your own thread giving exact details of your issues.

All the later iPads since iPad2 appear to be handling the upgrade with very few issues.

Then maybe... just maybe, Apple should not have allowed the iPad 2 and mini and iPad3 to upgrade, only the 4 and Air, etc......
OR optionally, they should have allowed those poor people who seem to NOT be handling the upgrade without few issues to downgrade back to what was working fine for them.

No, not at all. The iPad 2 is not there yet, like the first generation model is now. It still has the computing power to run iOS 8, and so it shouldn't have been cut off like the previous model has been. I've already seen a lot of iPad 2 users saying that theirs runs just fine. And then there are others who had initial problems but now have them running okay. And then you have a very small group that hasn't gotten things working satisfactorily for them. Just because there is this small group here like that, does not mean that the greater and larger majority of iPad 2 owners should have been limited.
Whatever it is that affects those few who are left, and it is very likely a variety of things and not just one ... it's probably some obscure things that will be found out shortly and then addressed. So, while it affects those who still have problems ... 100% ... it still leaves the greater and larger majority okay.

Once having gone forward, then turning it back opens up another can of worms. It may be bad enough for those who still have current problems, but Apple doesn't need to open up an ENTIRE NEW FRONT of problems by going backwards. Besides that, Apple has never gone backwards, so I really don't know why some people want to talk about it. You know it's never going to happen, so you're totally wasting your breath on that idea, and all it does (when one encounters a brick wall on an issue like this) is "work yourself up" for no good reason ... :-) ...
IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade
