4s phone app is freezing?

I am having a issue when I open phone app of my iPhone 4s it is extremely slow and or freezing?  Want to know if anyone knows of a fix for this.  All other apps and features of the phone are working fine and hoping to get phone to last till next model comes out.

CLOSE FROZEN APPS
Hold the sleep button until ON/OFF slider appears. Let go of sleep button and ignore slider and then hold home button until the app closes
Try this
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

    my i phone apps keep freezing! any suggestions.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • On iPhone 5s, since updating to 8.02, when accessing the phone's voicemail greeting section, the greeting, voicemail and dial pad freezes up. Requires restart of device to regain access to phone app. Greeting section can not be accessed.

    Hello -
    I've never had any issues at all with my iPhone 5s. After I ran the IOS 8.02 update, everything seemed fine. Yesterday afternoon (about 8 hours after the update), I went to update my voicemail greeting. So I can open the phone app just fine, use the phone with calls, listen to voicemails, etc., but as soon as I tap the GREETING within the voicemail section, everything in the phone app freezes up. Shutting down and restarting the app does not help. I have to restart the entire iPhone to regain access to the phone app. Interestingly, I can receive a call during this 'freeze' by tapping the ANSWER button during the incoming call. Just can not make outgoing calls, listen to voicemails, etc.
    During this freeze, a message occasionally appears stating that the greeting server can not be reached.
    Beyond that, no ideas.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    I am having this issue too.  Have you happened to find a solution?
    I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.

  • My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • Screen freezes on Phone app iOS 8

    I am using iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.1 on it. I encountered two problems after updating to iOS 8.0.
    1. My screen freezes at Phone App which causes home button to stop working, luckily i can make calls on the phone app. Lock screen works but swipe screen and password gets disabled which directly opens phone app if I lock and unlock phone with lock button. Phone works after I switch it off and restart. I tried restoring phone couple of times but in vain. Same problem persists.
    2. When I make or attend calls with my EarPods on and press lock button, phone automatically restarts.

    Hello venkurocx,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you have already restored your iPhone back to its factory settings in attempt to resolve this issue where your iPhone can become unresponsive as well as unexpectedly restart, please take a look at the article below for some further steps to go through.
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    I suggest that you to run your phone in safe mode for a while to check if you still experience this. If not this may be caused by any downloaded application.

  • Phone app not working iPhone 5 iOS 8

    Hi,
    After I installed iOS 8 the phone app on my iPhone 5 is not working anymore. When I try to open it, or it shows only a blank screen and crashes after a few seconds, or it opens and freezes so can't navigate to another field for example from "favorites" to "recently" etc. Today I installed the update 8.0.2 and still have the same problem.
    Please help, thanks.

    Did anyone ever get a solution to this?
    I'm on 8.1.2 (installed a couple of days ago)on my iPhone 5S  and last night I had a missed international call.
    I went into the RECENT CALLS tab and bam, it froze.
    So the Apple Phone app is now useless. Every time I go in I just get a white blank screen.
    I've tried everything I can think of except doing a hard reset back to factory settings and I don't want to do that because I've just been through a hard couple of days getting some professional apps to run and inputting a lot of detailed VPN settings working with our corporate help-desk and I was just about to take a new backup. Plus I'm not not even sure it's going to stay stable for long - I have business colleagues with the same phone on 8.1.1 and their RECENT CALLS screens are showing very erratic behaviour. On the older releases it seems the solution was to delete the RECENT CALLS data but then it was under General Settings. Now you need the frozen screen to do this.
    Last night I was having to make calls sitting in the car using the multimedia Bluetooth center.
    Then I realised I could work through contacts to make calls.
    Then I saw this thread this morning and used the tip to use a 3rd party dialer (***?). Fantastic!
    So I can make calls but I can't see any details of missed calls.

  • IPhone phone app Answer call button

    Are the green buttons used in iPhone's phone app custom buttons ?

    Same occurred to me today. Running iPhone [email protected]
    Sometime when you enter the phone application, one can occasionally scroll the call list but then all freezes. No buttons at the bottom seem to work at all.
    A reset/new setup of the phone as suggested by Ingo2711 seems ridicules. Any other solution from Apple Support?

  • IPhone Phone App Hangs

  • My phone is constantly freezing up whether on the web or texting and I have to remove the battery to reboot. Thoughts?

    My phone is constantly freezing when I'm on the web or an app. Any thoughts on why?

    Thank you for checking those storage details for us! Since this issue is continuing after multiple battery pulls, I do recommend backing up your info and performing a Wipe Handheld. Here's the steps to follow to do just that: http://vz.to/1kTIcNJ

  • After iOS 8 update, recent calls are no longer appearing and a count of -1 is showing in the phone app

    After i updated to iOS8 , suddenly no call log is available in the phone app under recents.
    Yet a number in red -1 appears on top of the recents section.
    is this is a bug in the OS? how can it be solved?

    If you have not set up iCloud backup or backed up using iTunes, all data on the phone was lost once it entered recovery mode.
    Your only option is to restore it and start new.

  • Iphone 4 Phone App White Screen/Battery Draining Fast

    I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent version of the software.  For the second time in about 5 weeks, my phone app has completely stopped working and only shows a white screen when entering.  I can still receive calls however.  The only way I could fix it before was a complete system restore, which was horrible.  My battery drains really quickly and the iphone gets really hot.  The system restore seemed to fix it for a few weeks last time.  I tried hard resets, soft resets, and everything in between. A friend of mine had the same issue with his phone. 
    Any ideas?

    I did some research.  I deleted my exchange account from work and it appeared to have fixed the problem.
