[The Sheriff]

Wifey says I should buy a new iPad. I have downloaded iOS 8.2 on to mine (old...iPad 2) and it has basically made it unusable for browsing. It takes an age to connect to the router when I want to, say, log on here. Yet the apps, which have to connect to the internet, work fine???
Anyhow, I've got my lads old iPad 2, which is still running iOS 7, and it works perfectly for browsing. So...I use one for browsing and one for banking, etc. she said I look silly constantly picking up and putting down different tablets, but it works for me........

To further annoy her, I'm considering getting out my old toshiba running android, and switching between three......

Get your pinny on, do a bit of house keeping. 


Clear the cache and history, reset factory settings, clear old apps, move pics to a cloud service etc.

Try battery doctor as well. Free up some memory....allegedly. Seems to work.

I take it its still slow then...?

No, not slow, watching Grigor Dimitrov. Done all that, still no good. Only installed iOS 8.2 on Friday, they usually get enough grief for another update quite quickly.

8.2 is mostly additional smart watch bollards

My ipad 1 still works fine

It's just twice the weight and the screen is very dated.


Until they stick another gig of ram in theres no point buying another. Imo.

Which iOS ?

Here's another weird one. When I look on this iPad at which apps are using space, it tells me ios8 is using 856MB. It's not running ios8.

That's the size of the downloaded iOS8 installer which it will have downloaded.

I do banking on mine through the various apps and Lookout kept telling me that, if I didn't update, all of mmy overdraught would be stolen.
