3GS freezing up following phone call

I am on my third iPhone one 3G and two 3GS. This has happened on all three !
way too frequently when I am through with a phone call, sometimes when I go to hang up or the other party hangs up, the screen goes blank and it stays blank with no control for 5 to 60 seconds (varies). When it does happen, ther is no response whether I press the main button or the on / off button. This is not consistent and there is no pattern to it. Sometimes 2 to 3 times per day sometimes it does not happen. If I am attenmpting to hang up sometimes it remains connected and after 5 to 60 seconds of blank screen, it will finally comeback on and it is still connected. As I said this is my third iPhone. The reason I am on my second 3GS is I took the phone back after this happened and they replaced it with a new one but it has started up again. HELP !

Yes !
AT&T, Apple Store and Radio Shack say they have never heard of this issue !

  • My iPhone is acting up again; freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work.

    I got my iPhone 5 back in February 2013 and for the most part of the year I enjoyed it. Then I started having issues with it. First of all the WiFi randomly quit working. I didn't even update it. So I tried updating it, resetting, and restoring it. While it was under warranty I tried getting the issue fixed, but Apple CS blew me off saying it was accidental damage and I should have gotten Apple Care. This time Verizon covered their *** and replaced the phone for me even though it was out of their 6 month warranty period. I think I posted this experience before.
    Now my iPhone is acting up again. It first started freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work. Again, resetting, restoring, and updating it did not fix these issues.

    The original issue they didn't state exactly why it was Accidental Damage. After running through some troubleshooting, they just stated it was Accidental Damage and that I should file a claim with my insurance, and that Apple Care would have covered it; then closed the request.
    I've tried resetting settings, restoring it as new, and that was a no go. When it freezes up during calls I also have to perform a hard reset by pressing and holding both the power and the home buttons to get it functioning at all again(just completely freezes, won't respond to touch or home button.) I noticed that the proximity sensor isn't responding as well, so I have to tilt it away from my ear while in a call to keep from pressing the buttons on the touchscreen with the side of my face. I avoid phonecalls now, and text exclusively.
    I don't live anywhere near a Genius Bar so I'm stuck with the online support to Apple. And since I don't have a landline, I get charged for their phone support so I tend not to use it.
    Getting two lemons in a row seems coincidental so I'm wondering if it's a bad batch Verizon got then distributed out.

  • Freeze screen after phone calls end, upgrade problem

    Upgraded my 3Gs iphone to the last version software last week. Started to eperience problems with phone calls after the upgrade. A major problem is When incoming phone calls end, the screen freezes and does not let me do anything even cannot turn the phone off. anybody has a soloution?

    I too am experiencing this problem. It's only been a few days now, ever since I upgraded the OS and installed the latest version of iTunes last week.
    I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sick of it.
    Whenever I MAKE or RECEIVE a call, my screen freezes up and I can't do anything, not even a hard reboot.
    I dropped out of a call to someone and when they rang back I couldn't answer it. So very frustrating.
    As I write this I've just taken a call from my husband, hung up the call, and now the phone is as useful as a paperweight because I can't get any function to work on it, not even the hard reboot.
    If anyone from Apple is listening...What the **** is going on here?????

  • IPhone 3GS - Video Capture during Phone Call

    I just found out that iPhone disables making Videos when I'm on a call.
    This really ***** - It lets me taking the photos, but no video option.
    It can't be the processing power needed - as this is 3Gs and has lots of power under the hood
    I know Video captures Audio as well in the movie - so what - it should still be able to make a video with the voice capture thru the Mic.
    This is totally stupid of Apple. Video is a very useful feature and one of the reasons I paid $560 to upgrade and a bad implementation.

    I Just ReRead This And It May Seem A Little Confusing. I Am Talking About The iPhone 4 NOT 4S

  • 3Gs freezes

    I asked this once b4 without any responses, so I'll try again.
    My 3Gs freezes upon ending a call, oh, maybe once a week. Seems like it's always after an ER call on a run, but that may just be my imagination. A reset always seems to fix it for a while.
    Also, even though I have email set to only download manually, the iPhone still DLs all my waiting email when I place my first call of the day. In that I haven't gotten around to screening for junk yet, it all lands in my phone. Suggestions? Other than just do my email first?
    I had hoped 3.1 would take care of both of these, but . . . . . .

    For the email you should check if any of your email accounts are "push" enabled email accounts, like yahoo and exchange are. Push emails are not taken into account when you choose to manually synch your emails. If you want fully manual synch, you should also turn off push. (settings>Mail, etc.>Fetch new data>Push=>OFF
    For the freezing I would recommend the usual restore without restoring from backup ( I know it's painfull) but it's the only way you know you are getting a fresh installed OS

  • GetSnapshot crashes when midelt receives phone call

    Hi All,
    My J2ME app uses VideoControl.getSnapshot to take a picture, which works well under normal operation.
    However, if the midlet receives a phone call while getSnapshot is being called (takes 2-3 seconds) my app crashes and has to be aborted.
    I've tried everything to sort this out but no joy.
    My app failed the Java Verified testing because of this problem and I'm stuck as to what to do!
    My code...
    byte[] raw = null;
    raw = m_vc.getSnapshot(null); //this line takes 2-3 seconds to execute, and the midlet freezes if a phone call is received during those 2-3 seconds (obviously timing the phone call is crucial)
    The phone is a Nokia 6303. pauseApp and startApp don't work so can't use them, also looked at showNotify/hideNotify, again they don't work.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hiya thankyou for the answer.
    Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
    I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
    Thankyou again,

  • IOS5 on 3gs touch screen keeps freezing - cannot unlock phone

    I downloaded the new iOS5 to my 3GS phone.
    Now I cannot unlock it - it's like the touch screen does not exist at all.
    Sometimes it works - but nothing seems to unlock it.
    Then randomly, it will work again.
    Super frustrating!! Any suggestions???

    "Apple: the new Microsoft?"
    That's harsh, but looks like it is true!
    I am having the exact same problem as everyone else here. Since upgrading to the iOS4.0.1 my phone has become incredibly slow and unresponsive. The touch screen will often lock/freeze not allowing you to answer calls. This would not be such a terrible thing if the "home" button could be configured as a back-up answer mode. I have missed several important phone calls as a result.
    The 3G and 3GS were great phones. Maybe a few glitches here and there but at least you could answer the phone when a call came in!
    Likewise, "Windows 97" was a great OS then Microsoft decided to make improvements and developed "Vista". Now Microsoft's towering kingdom is falling because they would never admit that they developed a flawed system. Now they have come out with Windows 7, but it's too late every one has given up and started moving to Mac.
    Apple, beware that your pride and arrogance doesn't take you to the same fate. You need to offer some sort of customer support where we can inform you of issues like these. We should not have to pay to talk to a tech when it is a flaw in your software that is causing the problems.

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

    You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post.   We are just users like you and I.
    Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
    Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

  • My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.0

    My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.o

    I've also got this annoying problem, but it seems to vary how long the phone wants to last before crashing - i think the longest conversation i've had with iOS4 is 15 minutes and it was an important phone call (my son was in hospital at the time and i was away on business)
    i was hoping that iOS4.2 would fix the problem, but alas nothing but more crashing..
    being a user of Apple products since 1984, having this trouble is pretty disappointing as i used to believe that Apple made a quality product..

  • Iphone 3GS 4.3.3 reverts to 2G during phone calls then stays in 2G !!!

    Hi there
    I'm using iphone 3gs 4.3.3 and when I make a phone call, even in a full 3G signal area, my iphone reverts to 2G and then stays in 2G after the call. It doesn't go switch back to 3G.Why is this ??? Even hours later the phone is still in 2G.
    Also, there is full 3G coverage but the only way is to force it back, either by switching off and back on OR going into airplane mode and back.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem ?
    Using O2-UK, West Yorkshire
    Thanks and regards

    Anyone ???

    but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
    What does "it is continued when off" mean?
    And the same for "somtimes can not working"?
