I am on the forum that receives emails on a daily bases when people are asking questions in relation to Proloquo2go. There seems to have been a lot of questions in relation to the upgrade of the IPOD SOFTWEAR iOS4 program that has recently become available.
It appears to be conflicting with Proloquo2Go so think very carefully before you download this update. some of the common problems appear to be
'we use the message window all the time and yes we do clear it regularly, actually she clears it after each message. :-). One thing I had mentioned in an earlier post just after updating to iOS4 was that I noticed p2go seem to run slower and that when I added a new button I sometimes had to back out of the page and then come back before the button showed up. I had no problems with anything like this prior to upgrading the OS. The thing is, we are using 2 different ipods and the same issues are on both of them.'
'Apparently many people are experiencing slow downs with the upgrade to iOS 4 with a variety of applications. So most likely this is not Proloquo2Go related but OS related. I can't remember where I have read how people resolve this issue. '
' I have found a few apps that didn't work with the new OS but not many, all the ones we currently have are working fine. I should be thankful that so far they have been going out at different times and not at the same time as I can at least look at the other one to see how to put things back "exactly" like they were so ......... There is plenty of room on both ipods so space isn't an issue. All I know is that these particular issues on both ipods was not seen prior to updating the OS.'
'If there is a general slow down of certain operations this could delay start up. One Proloquo2Go related possible cause for slow start up is an extremely full message window (which does not seem to be your problem) another one can be if you exit Proloquo2go while very deeply nested. Such deep nesting can occur if you have loops in the vocabulary where for example you have an animal but with dogs in it and then animals in dogs and then go from dogs to animals to dogs to animals, etc. instead of going back or using the home button.'
There may be other causes ......
' I think you are right about it being an issue starting up at times. P2go is fully customized as in adding our own pics and has a lot of folders so I don't know if that is a problem or not. We have added a few more things since upgrading the OS but not that much so I don't know if there is a limit on how much P2go can hold (so to speak). I was able this morning to capture p2go as it was loading and that is the same thing we get when it crashes so the loading issue makes sense to me.'
'I agree with you that the problem is happening at loading. In principle it should not matter how many pictures you have. Above I mentioned some possible causes for slow loading. The only way for sure to know what is up (and even then not always) is seeing a crash log saved by the device when it returns automatically back to the home screen after it feels it has waited long enough for Proloquo2Go to startup'
'have updated my iPod to the 4.0 OS, but I don't use P2G on my iPod, other than for testing things out. I have had lots of crashes of other apps since switching, when I previously had no crashes at all. I'm one of the people I guess you could call 'app addicted' because I had so many apps I could not add more without deleting some'.
' My experience with the crashes leads me to believe there is some problem with OS4 which is causing the crashes. I will try using P2G on my iPod today to see if I can generate some crashes. What were you doing when the crashes occurred? Programming or just using it to speak?
Anyway, the crashes in other programs is why I have not updated my daughter's iPod yet to OS4 '
'Just to add my 2 cents to this discussion, I have not upgraded to the new iOS 4 because my son, who is the IS manager for a small company, said that it has a number of problems--being slow is one of them and crashing on certain programs is another. Since this is also a problem for the iPhone, he has told all of his sales personnel not to upgrade until they fix the problems.
So this page is to keep you uptodate with whats happening and maybe help you decide before you just automatically download.
But please remember this is the up grade for the Ipod NOT the Proloquo2Go program that I have told you you do need to upgrade if it is still the old original one. Talk soon
