Certain features send me back to home screen

So today I upgraded my 4GB iPhone to the 8GB and much to my dismay... I ave discovered that when try to change the wallpaper, instead of sending me to choose the wallpaper, it goes back to the home screen. Same goes for the camera AND photos.
What gives? is this an issue with my particular phone having something wrong with it? or perhaps someone has some ideas?
I already tried restarting the phone and restoring to factory settings... neither worked.

This is happening to me too but only when im rethrieving huge email and once in a while when im browsing in the internet. after bringing me to the main menu when go back to email or website where i was before the page still there. its not bothering that much. probably this in only memory issue.

I can't use my iPad for messages. When I tap the message icon it goes back to home screen and vice vers to send when the messages stays up

I can't use my message on the iPad when I touch the icon it goes right back to home screen. And if I use from contacts and I hit the upper left hand writing implement it goes back to home screen.

Try to Reset your device:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

IOS 8.1 Safari not loading, goes back to home screen

I have an iPhone 5, 5S and ipad air all on version 8.1. Safari is not working on any of them. It tries to load, the blank safari screen comes up, then it crashes and goes back to home screen. I have to use google chrome to access the internet. I tried restoring my one phone to factory, installed the backup, reset the safari data, reset network settings and still no help. Can anyone tell me how the **** to delete safari and re-install it? I don't know what else to do about this issue.

ok. seems to be working now. i wiped (settings/general/reset/erase all content and settings) the iphone6plus that had 8.1 on it and backed up from a backup made with 8.0.2.
Mail is now loading instantly. but now i have to load all my passwords again for everything - even though i had encrypted backups. weird.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Howdy mbaeguasu,
It sounds like your iPhone may be restarting unexpectedly while you’re using it. Take a look at the article linked below and, if you haven't already, try installing the latest version of iOS on your device.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
So long,

HT1430 iPad 3 keeps jumping back to home screen ...

iPad 3 keeps jumping back to Home screen .

Your apps are crashing. Try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help at all.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Start with those two things and see if the apps quit crashing - or see if the crashes are less frequent.

Why My iPhone 4s close most of my apps when i opened them immediately and return back to home screen ?

Download a free app and see if that helps, you can delete the app later if you do not want it.

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you
