"Gym update almost unplayable on older phones?"

#PokemonGO: Am I the only one struggling? I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. Until the gym update it was fine for PoGo... a bit slow to open sometimes, a bit laggy on gyms, but nothing that stopped me playing. I'm almost level 35, so I've certainly played a fair amount!Now, however, I'm about ready to give up on battling and raids. It's impossible. The game takes almost 30 seconds to open, my Go+ rarely connects, the phone is burning hot after the app being open a couple of minutes, and gyms have constant lag with network errors. I tried to take part in a few raids today but barely made a dent because it kept freezing, giving me the death loop, or being so slow to allow me to pick teams that I had to go with the default.Do we think this will improve, or have Niantic basically blocked older phones from the gym game now? I can't afford a new phone for a couple of months (and even then I'll feel guilty as it's clearly not an essential household purchase), and I really feel a two year old phone should be able to cope. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2sTO4ns
