Q: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade

Does anyone on this forum know of anyone with an iPad2 upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 that is satisfied with performance after the upgrade. If so, can you possibly persuade them to make a post here and detail how they made the upgrade work? I have not heard from anyone who has been satisfied with the upgrade so far. If satisfied upgraders are out there, I would like to know how they pulled it off.

Please ask your friends and family. If there are millions of satisfied users with the upgrade, they must have done something that we missed and even Apple Support missed. If there is nobody, that would also be interesting and we can stop looking for solutions - their may not be a solution at this time - other than purchasing a new iPad - something that I am not ready to do at this time - maybe never.

I found a fix! Okay, so try clearing Safari History in Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data then go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, please let me know if this works, I had a friend try this and it worked.

@Dracofear - Clearing history and website data for Safari did help considerably. Thanks. :-)

@Dracofear - resetting Network Settings will indeed give you back your cellular service, TEMPORARILY.  I did this on average slightly more than once a day until I became very tired of re-entering all my wifi passwords for memorized networks.  A reboot will accomplish the same thing, but without losing network settings.

Where can we post without being censored?

It depends. If you just want to belittle the people with iPad 2s that are having problems with iOS 8, you can post here, along with "Star Traveler" and "Philly_Phan." If you want to discuss the fact that Apple has screwed you over, you'll get censored.

Thanks for the reply. But it doesn't help me. I was looking for a forum other than this.

If you have no experience in updating an ipad2 to ios8 and you just offering advice on something you know nothing about?  If you are, thinkneighbour future credibility on anything!

DRacofear, Thanks for suggestion. Tried it, will let you all know if it helps my issues. PLEASE NOTE: before anyone tries this, be sure you know and have on hand your router/wireless network password!!! You will need to rejoin network. Luckily, my husband wrote it down for me and I knew where to find it.

I had similar issues with a very slow iPad 2, the spinning icon in all aps etc. Decided to do a restore via iTunes, A WHOLE BUNCH BETTER. Did it solve ALL issues NO. My iPad went from not usable to almost like it was in IOS 7 version with regards to speed. Maybe worth a try.

Glad it helped you out, hoping it will help everyone else as well.

Did you also Clear History and data for safari? That is mandatory for the process to work sense network settings does not mess with safari.

DId not clear Safari History. So far So good but nice suggestion, will do it.

DDid so first.

TRy a Search if it is working to find another forum. There must be another one out there.
