iOS 8 on iPAD 2 damn near unusable

[rmercier]

1) Random switching to inverted colors
2) Drops 3G connection after a while, requiring restart
3) Takes several seconds to invoke mutlitasking pane after double click of home button
4) Overall sluggishness
5) Almost EVERYTHING takes several seconds to happen

If I had known this, I NEVER would have upgraded...totally kills the iPad experience for me

Wait till 8.1 - it's usable with that.

Do a clean install. Its not that much worse than iOS 7 on a clean install.

I tested both iOS 7 and iOS 8 on a clean install here if you're interested

Do you have an iPad 2 with 8.1?? Is it close to 7.1.2 performance?

Thanks for the feedback. If I do a clean install, do I have to redownload all of my apps again? Or can i do a restore? Wouldn't a restore bring me right back to where I was again (iOS wise)?
