Iphone 5 freezes and crashes, won't let me into my calling or texting. How do I fix it?

I have had my IPhone 5 16GB for just over a year now, and it's never had these problems before. Recently my phone started freezing when I went to kill apps, then it started freezing on all my apps, and after it freezes it restarts, but when it restarts it won't let me into my phone, so I have to restart it myself. And now I can't even get into my texting OR calling. No calls are coming through to me, I can't dial out, I can't see any of my text messages, and I can't even send new texts from my contacts. I tried everything! I have tried resetting the home button, I have tried restarting my phone by holding down the power button and home button at the same time, (this is the only way to unfreeze my phone, but it only lasts maybe 5 minutes) and I have even connected my phone to the computer and tried restoring it, but nothing has worked. How can I fix these issues? I need to be able to make calls and receive them too. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or is it time for a new phone? Also my battery life is very bad, it dies very fast. I also have 3.1GB of storage on my phone as well. Today ( Dec 9th, 2014) I also update to the most recent software, 8.1.2. and the problems are still there.

If the phone does not work if you set it up as new device, without using any backup afterwards, you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place, or call Apple Support, they even can test your device online.

I just viewed the website on my computer, and it appears to be working okay on my end. It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

Exchange server mail makes iphone freeze and crash

Hi, i bought my iphone last July and everything has been fine with it until a couple of months ago it started freezing and crashing. i tried restoring it to factory settings, sent it to Apple and they replaced it but it still happens!! it happens every 1-2 days, it crashes, freezes, restarts itself. I'll go to use it and its frozen so i have to reset it. I've overslept a few times when it's frozen over night and the alarm hasnt gone off! its completely fine when its not syncing my mail though.
I connect to my work's exchange server and sync mail, contacts and calender. I found that when i stop syncing the mail, the phone is fine, but i need to check my mail for work.
so ive had 2 phones and restored it a few times and it still does it!
help please?

When you restored your iPhone, did you restore from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
Did you transfer your iPhone's backup to the iPhone you received as an exchange under warranty?
If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.

My new iPhone 4S won't let me recieve/make calls or texts.

My new iPhone 4S was delivered to my house this morning and I put in the SIM card and left it off for an hour...an hour or so later I turned it back on, set it up and it said that I was connected to my network (3) and that I have full signal. However, my phone will not enable me to receive/make calls or texts and everytime I go to call, this error messages pops up: "Sorry, you've not been given access to this service" and immediately ends the call. Also, everytime I switch on my iPhone, it says in the corner that I'm connected with my network and next to it will appear a small UK but it will go away in a second. Ive also looked on my settings for the iMessage but it keeps saying it's waiting for activation. I don't understand what's going on with it :/ Please help me, thanks so much.

I have the iPhone 4 and it is not updating my software to iOS 5.1, how do I fix it?

I have the iPhone 4 and it is NOT jailbroken or anything, but whenever I try to update it to iOS 5.1 it says it can't connect to a network. When I used my phone, it says there was an error. How do I get it to update?

There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?

IPhone freezes and crashes repeatedly

I just purchased the iPhone a few hours ago from a local AT&T store, and after installing apps on the phone, i realized i cant run them without the phone crashing. The screen freezes, gray bars cover the screen and it restarts. I am restoring software now but it'll take a few hours. Can somebody help me? Do i have a hardware or software issue?

Did you restore the phone "as new iphone" without using the backup afterwards to get back your settings? Maybe your backup contains damaged files.
Also try only to install the default apps, no 3rd party apps from the AppStore. If your phone works with default apps, 3rd party apps mya be the cause for your problems. Any chance you installed Facebook or similar apps? Such apps have been the cause for unstable performance in the past.
Sometimes it helps to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data doing a reset.

ID and password won't let me into Home Network Defender

When I set up a new install of Home Network Defender two days ago, some of the settings were temporary. This evening I tried to go into HND to revise some settings and the access info that I wrote down when setting it up two days ago won't work. What do I need to do to get into HND to set it up.
I tried "Live Chat" That was much time and lots of restating the issue with finally getting some instructions to uninstall Network Magic Pro, reboot, and reinstall NM. I did. Nothing changed except the clock (more time lost).
I'd sure appreciate some helpful instructions for how to get into HND or how to uninstall it and start over. I can't see HND as an installed application on my computer.
Router: WRT610N (working great)
Adapter: WUSB600B (working great)
o/s: Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Intalled HND 6/8/09
Installed NM 6/8/09 and again 6/10/09
Tried to add anti-virus 6/8/09 (that seemed to be a non-starter)
Cheers!

I have similar problem.
When I tried to login i get following message "HND is registered to a different user account please try again ".
I spent one hour chatting with online support of linksys and got directed to Trend. Yester day I spent one hour with Trend to get "kicked" back to Linksys support.
This time (my third attempt) on phone support with linksys I spent another one hour resetting router WRT610N to factory default and reinstalling the software. Then got transfered to "Tech specialists". I was given an offer to remotely 'try' to fix for "additional cost" or can guide me.
At this time I have two softwares worth for a total of $100 that is not doing its work and I was given an option to fix remotely for 'additional cost". When asked about this to the agent, received a 'curt' reply that it is optional to spend.
Anyway eventually even this guided service did not work after once again reinstalling the software for the second time. I was then directed to "Purenetwork" saying they manufacture Network Magic software and they can reset from the server.
My fourth call with "Purenetwork" costed me another 1 Hour uninstalling the software, resetting the Router. Finally I was told this is a unique problem for which I will get reply once they discuss internally and find an answer. No time lines comitted. After more than 24 hours from my last call, I do not have any answer to my problem.
After seeing this many treads on HDN, I am surprised to see such product amd support from Linksys.
Can any one help me how to reset HDN?
