IPhone 5 lock-ups and crashes after iOS7 upgrade

On Wednesday I upgraded to iOS 7. While I like the new look and functionality, I have experienced a couple of OS crashes/lock-ups in a way that I had to force-reboot my iPhone by holding the sleep&home buttons.
There are two situations where this happens for me: First, when the phone is locked (4-digit passcode), I swipe to unlock, then I try to type the passcode, but the device is completely locked up and doesn't accept any input. It doesn't react on the sleep and home buttons either.
The second situation is when answering a call: Phone rings, I swipe the green button to answer, then the screen goes black and the device seems completely bricked until force-rebooted.
Case 1 has happened 4 times so far since wednesday, case 2 happened three times (answering three different phone calls).
The device is an iPhone 5 64GB I bought in October 2012.
None of this ever happened to me before the upgrade to iOS 7.
Doesn anyone have the same issues? Where can I get help on this?

I have this issue as well and I did a hard reset and restore from icloud and did the same from my computer and neither of them fixed the issue. Of course I would be outside of my warranty period. My phone continues to crash at least 4 to 5 times a day. Please help us!!!

  • HP Pavilion Elite e91804 experiencing lock-ups and crashing after LWSEP

    1. Product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite e91804
    2. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
    3. No error message (other than blue screen)
    4. My most recent change was sending my computer in for the Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program, and receiving a new motherboard.
    Before I sent my computer in for the LWSEP I was experiencing lock-ups and crashes only when I was multi-tasking (playing video games, listening to music, and having tabs open in firefox).
    So I sent my computer in for the LWSEP to receive a new motherboard to fix these crashes, however after receiving my computer from them, the lock-ups and crashing have not been fixed and, in fact, have gotten worse. My computer will now lock-up and crash whenever I attempt to stream anything, be that music, video, etc. I can still occasionally play video games, assuming that I am doing nothing else, and that my computer cooperates with me (not locking up), but this only happens about 1/3 of the time.
    My main confusion is that sending my computer in was supposed to fix my problem, not make it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Mail App keeps freezing and crashing after yosemite upgrade.  Cant create new emails.

    Mail App keeps freezing and crashing after yosemite upgrade.  Cant create new emails.  Is there a fix to these issues?

    Hi,
    When I read these Threads in Yosemite I am filtered to show only the one listing Messages (the App) as the App involved.
    This form of tagging a Thread no longer shows up in the current software used to run the Discussions.
    Did you use the Mail and the Messages tags ?
    It is difficult as many Mail help items refer to emails and "messages".
    With me posting to the thread it should raise it to near the top again and maybe someone who knows about Mail will post.

  • HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade? (Upgrade--really?)

    HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade?  Upgrade?  Really?   I'm just really upset that I have to continually make concessions to someone else and my product does NOT work the way it should, and has done in the past!!!!

    Depends on your browser and it may appear in your downloads folder to run.  If you are using IE, it will appear on the bottom of the screen, Google Chrome, bottom of the screen, Firefox, top of the screen with an big arrow

  • Ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1

    ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1. I have tried to restore, using the iCloud backup (twice) and it works well for a short while then slows and crashes again.  Genius bar help said older versions of OS8 never closed apps, so a restore should fix it, but it didn't, even with a repeat.

  • Lock ups and crashes

    I've been having this problem off and on now for awhile. My pc will just lock up and a message comes up "A program caused this to happen" Then the pc will auto restart page. The thing about it is it's doing it more and more. There's got to be something I can do about it...

    try this link  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03408309&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us... most likely your pc is infected, my suggestion ...if you dont have important files on this computer you can revert it back to factory settings. Everything will be wiped out but Windows and the programs that was came with the package will be reinstalled

  • IPad 2 constantly rebooting/crashing after iOS7 upgrade.

    Since I upgraded the iPad2 to iOS7 it keeps on rebooting/crashing every 30s - 2 mins.
    I have tried doing a factory reset of the iPad2 to make sure that none of the data/apps on the iPad2 was causing the issue - Same behaviour.
    Did a restore of the iPad to version 7.0 as well as 7.0.2 - Same behaviour
    Set iPad2 up as a new iPad - Same behaviour
    Set iPad2 up and restored from iCloud backup - Same behaviour
    Set iPad2 up as new iPad without activating WiFi - Same behaviour
    Activated airplane mode - Same behaviour
    I currently have an expensive paper weight... Thanks a lot Apple!
    Anyone know what I could do to fix the issue?!

    Well I'll be,
    I tried all the above when this happened to my daughters ipad2 yesterday. For no reason it just started rebooting, no added apps nothing. I tried reset, reboot, restore all everything, tried fresh install all of the above recommendations but nothing worked. Until I saw the last post so I put black tape over the front camera, didn't work, back camera, didn't work, put the tape over both and voila it stopped rebooting, my screen always flashed too before the reboot too in case that means anything, I then ungraded to 7.1 and removed the tape and all good.
    I hope this helps someone as I was ready to go to the apple store and pay for a fix.

  • IPhone 4 (CDMA) very slow after iOS7 upgrade

    Upgraded over the weekend to iOS7 a process that took several hours only to regret that decision.  My iPhone has never been so slow, the battery power is not what it used to be, sometimes I can text and send pictures, some times I can't.  Some apps work, some don't and visually, the OS looks cluncky  Are you trying to copy Microsoft's boxy design?
    I decided to downgrade back to iOS 6, only to learn that I couldn't.  What a mess.  Apple used to stand for easy, plug it in and go. Usually the bigest challenge was trying to figure out how to open up the box.  Not anymore....
    Apple, please do us all a favor and allow users of older generation devices to downgrade from this aweful platform. 

    Apple, please do us all a favor
    Who are you talking to? We are not Apple.  Apple doesn't read these posts.

    Welcome to the Apple community Kobra.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Downgrading is not an option for an iOS device.

  • I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.

    I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.  Any suggestions?  It worked well before the upgrade.

    I'm sorry...my question was imprecise.  When I said 'no longer works' I was referring to plugging the device into the USB and power jacks in the center console and then being able to play music through the radio and control the device from either the radio or the steering wheel buttons.  The iPhone 4 I use for this purpose has no cellular service and has never been paired with the car.  I have an iPhone 5 with cellular service that is paired with the car.  I cannot test theiPhone 5 with the car because of the difference of connectors on the phone.   :-(  The iPhone 4, however, works fine in my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe.
    Thanks, in advance!
