Completed the upgrade to 4.3 on an Ipad 1 last night without problems. After evaluating the system I found that, contrary to what I have read, Safari does not appear any faster to me. Secondly, I have found a problem in the Google maps program that is specific to 4.3 (wife's IPad still on 4.2 and doesn't have issue). At some zoom settings, map goes blank and says "no images" at various locations (no logic). When they appear, they are generally about a square mile or so and not consistant or necessarily connected. It is generally at closer views that this problem appears and some times works its way through the grey black as it often does.
I realize it's difficult to outline a specific symptom; however, the map program is generally much less responsive after upgrade and I wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem or can even explain why that program would be impacted by this upgrade.
By the way, operating test performed on wifi with IOS 4.2 Ipad side by side.
I sure like the rotation option back!
Just wondered if you've tried the usual 'cure-all' for iPad 'issues'.....I'm sure you have, so don't get mad....but, just in case....
The easiest first way to try to solve ‘unexplained’ or ‘unusual’ problems with the iPad are:-
Force the offending app to close. If you have iOS 4.2 double-press the ‘Home’ button to bring up the multi-task bar at the bottom of the screen. Press *and hold* any icon until they start to ‘jiggle’. Then tap the top left-hand corner of the app that you want to close. It will ‘disappear’ from the list. Don’t panic - you’ve not deleted it, just closed it. Now tap the Home screen and the multi-task bar will disappear. Re-open the iPad’s app and see if the problem has resolved itself. If not, it’s on to possible solution number two!!
Restart the iPad. Press *and hold* the Power button. After a couple of seconds a slider control will appear asking you to confirm that you really want to switch the iPad off (this is all you’ll be doing). Slide the control to accept. A rotating white ‘bezel’ will appear in the iPad screen as the iPad powers down (it takes a few seconds, just like it would if you were shutting down your PC). When the screen of the iPad has gone completely blank, press *and hold* the Power button for a couple of seconds until the white Apple logo appears and the iPad starts to power up. This takes several seconds, so be patient. During the power up the automatic screen orientation function is disabled, so don’t panic. A few seconds before the power up is complete, the iPad plays a little ‘jingle’ and then you’re back to the Home screen. Restart the iPad’s app and see if the problem persists. Apple (and Forum members) recommend that you power down your iPad at least once a week, just as you might regularly completely switch off your PC. The normal procedure of just briefly pressing the Power button of the iPad merely puts it to ‘sleep’. Most Forum members have found that one of the two methods I’ve mentioned here cure a whole bunch of unexplained problems and are an easy first step to resolving most anything that happens on the iPad.
