Alternative Browser For An I Pad Ii

Have you got loads and loads of 'windows' 'open' on Safari?? If you have it might be worth deleting some to see if it helps.

 

I'm talking about the display that comes up if you tap on the squares on the top right with Safari open and swipe down. You get loads of cascading web pages.

 

Wow, you do all that and still have a problem...

Ours is just fine without taking any of that care

 

You'll need iTunes and a pc / mac

Definitely backup to the computer, it'll make the process of doing a full factory reset easier as the cable + phone /ipad will already be connected to the computer from entering the DFU mode and therefore it'll automatically ask if you'd like to use the backup just made.

if not it'll at least give you the option of the backup by time /date so you pick the one just been done as that'll have all current contacts etc

There's plenty of YouTube videos and write ups, but this one might give a decent overview, it's the same principle for the ipad by the way.

In essence if all you've ever done is updated automatically over the air then eventually the hardware and possibly firmware gets a bit out of sorts and bloated.

Imagine doing this as a fresh start. It's a proper good wipe clean of the phone / ipad and when the ipsw file (ios operating system) reinstalls it'll be about as clean and organised as it can be.

You then use the backup you made to get your contacts etc back on.

Then the next few hours or day the file system will sort itself out properly. Hopefully speeding things up and making things work that little bit better.

After a few days it might also be worth downloading this app



This is a really good and yet basic app for cleaning clutter from you iPhone and ipad.

After apps and app updates have been downloaded and installed they leave lots of useless files on your phone, imagine this app as being like the old windows defragment tool.

On the new iOS make sure you tick this selection (APFS)

That's apples new file manager system and even though it'll take ages scanning it's worth running a few times.

You'll be amazed what space you can free up on an iPhone

 

Why are you paranoid @Android853sp about internet usage??

Are you on mobile internet like a 3g dongle with only 15gb allowance per month?? ...I'm personally using two three home-fi units that allow 40gb per unit per month. I got both contracts at £20 per month which is amazing considering I was paying £16 for each 15gb dongle. And the other good thing is that the sim's can be popped into a dongle for proper mobile internet as well.

 

@damodici

That's a fantastic explanation, many thanks for taking the time to do this, very much appreciated, I actually understand it as well!
My iphone5 and ipad air2 both appear to be working fine atm, but great to know I can do the back up sometime in the future using your instructions.
