You have some really good points and things that TL should consider. However, you need to calm down

Hi
I have moved your delayed in sending material gifts thread to general bug forum. I have merged with another thread so I can report the issues .
Here is the current thread.

The problem with iPod Touch 2g is that it doesn't have enough processing power to run the OS and these games efficiently. That's the reason for the lag and crashes. Some of the players here thinks the problems lies on TL programming but in fact it's the hardware limitations and operating system. The latest update of iOS (4.3.5) can't load on your iPod Touch because it requires a more to run. This is also true for iPhone 3G.

I have the original iPhone, iPhone 3GS and iPhone4 and they are all use to play TL games. Of course the 3GS and 4 are fast but the original is a bit slow but it can still play TL games. The processing power and memory of iPhone/iPod Touch 1g and iPhone3G/iPod Touch 2g are identical the only difference is the software that run in them. iPhone/iPod Touch 1g max at iOS 3.1.3 and iPhone3G/iPod Touch 2g max at 4.2.1. I suggest, if you still have a copy, is to downgrade to iOS 3.1.3 to gain some of that processing power. You can try that and see.

The boot up process takes a little bit longer than normal. Depending on how much need to be optimized, the Apple logo would be on the screen for about 4 to 5 minutes before bring you to the home screen. Btw, you have to do a cold boot when you notice a significant lag again.

With every additional features added to these games, the older devices seems to perform worse. I hope with the Spotlight search turned off along with rebuilding the iOS, your iPod Touch would perform better.

Let me know if it helps and good luck!

Hi briguynv.. sure I explain the cold boot process but it sound like you are already doing this every 20-30 minutes. The bigger and longer term boost to your iPod Touch would be to turn off Spotlight search indexing. From Settings/ General/ Home Button/ Spotlight search, turn search indexing off for as many items as possible. I suggest to turn them all off. This reduces the overall workload of the system, so it appears to give an overall performance boost.

Cold boot or to force the iOS to rebuild (a step that seems to optimize a variety of things), you have to press and hold the Sleep/Wake button along with the Home button for about ten seconds, which will **** the phone and initiate a reboot. Hold those buttons until you see the Apple logo comes up.
