i hardly use this, but i've noticed that the ipad is extremely slow and laggy esp. after the ios 4.2 update. anyone else experiencing the same? touchscreen lags too sometimes. i have a 64gb, 3g with less than 20 apps installed.
 
Double tap the home button, it will show you a list of currently running applications. Long press one of them to get the option to close them.

I have to show teachers how to do that all the time when they have issues.

I love how often rebooting works with any device.

Wow that is kind of being an ass against an iPad owner if he even hints it is slow for some reason.

Wait for the 5.0 update, or at least update to 4.3.3 if you haven't. It lifts some of the phantom processes eating away at CPU time and changes the way app launching animation is handled.

did not know 4.3 was out. going to install now. running 4.2.1 currently. i am aware of the double tap on the home button to close apps, but some things still run slow even after closing them all
 
Most iPads that start running slow have background tasks that didn't end properly. Do a reboot if you have already double-checked there is nothing running concurrently.
 
Ah the infamous reboot. So many common problems can be fixed with a simple power cycle. Not just on iPads. Almost every electronic can benifit from it.

ok, i've upgraded to 4.3.3 and have already noticed substantial performance improvements all around. thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:

as for power cycling, i always shut the ipad off.... never leave it on standby. have noticed this slowdown on several occassions after the 4.2.1 update. 4.3.3 seems solid now.
 
You think a reboot could solve my phone's horrible connection problems that have popped up recently? 😛 Used to have a decent (~2-3 bars 3G) connection at work, but now I have to hold it in that right spot just to get 1 bar of 3G and it regularly drops to 2G or no connection. :\

Maybe AT&T is purposely "shittifying" their connection to make us all want T-Mobile's towers even more? 😛
 
It's the 256MB RAM, happens on my 3GS daily. I have a nifty app called System Activity Monitor that clears RAM when you enter it (sadly it's not for free). The phone runs great until there's like 2-3MB free, then it needs to clear stuff before it can open anything new and during the clearing it's slowing down and the response is jerky. It eve manged to crash the springboard a few times (opening an app caused a hang and a soft reboot after ~30s).

If you don't want to pay for the app, you may want to JB and get SBSettings, there's RAM clearing on command built into it.
