Intermittent sound & phone freezing

Today i have noticed my iphone 4 has intermittent sound. The ringer is on, but when someone calls it doesn't always ring, and has also frozen too. The keyboard clicks don't always work, nor do the text tones. Vibrate still seems to be working ok.
The only thing I have changed in the last 24 hours is I updated my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5.0.1 as it asked me to yesterday.
Is anyone else having the same problem or had it before?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Have you run the Apple hardware test? If you have either of the TechTool programs they can do the same testing. Find the original OS X discs that came with the system, and one should say in small print on the label 'AHT Version x.x'. Insert it and reboot holding the option key down, choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow to the right, follow directions, and choose the extended test. Does it identify any issues?

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Phone freezes up while trying to download anything greater than 600 KB?

I do frequent web searches for info for my son for school and when trying to dowlnload anything greater than approx 600 KB the phone freezes after dowloading 90-95% and I need to reboot. For example was downloading something that was 881 KB and it froze at 878. Have good reception and XEV is what I am receiving on. Are there any solutions to this problem or am I just trying to do too much. There are no graphics involved just text. Thanks

First things first. Let us see how much free space - also called available "storage" - you have on your hard disk.
From the Apple menu select "About This Mac", then click on "More info", then click on "Storage" (at the top of the little window). It should tell you "xxx free out of yyy", that's how much free space you have. There is also a cute graphical depiction of how your storage is being used. Could you report on that please?

P.S. In Activity Monitor it sounds like you were examining how much RAM - also called "memory" - is being used. This is different from "storage" which is what is relevant to installing stuff. (Files, photos, applications, etc. are stored in "storage". The computer takes them out of storage and puts them in memory when it wants to use them.)

When I try to open the wifi section in settings my phone freezes

Every time I try to open the wi-fi section in settings my phone freezes. I can still push the home button and go home but I can't select any networks, no networks show up, I can't push the back to settings button and I can't turn wi-fi off. The settings app eventually closes after this.

Sounds like a system crash when it tries to acess a specific peice of hardware. Try this, Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't work, Try this--> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 Set it up as new(Even though you made a backup) And see if you are still having the issue.
If you are not having the issue, Then Restore your backup onto the device.

My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Intermittent video/audio freezes with Quantum Client

I upgraded to Quantum 2 weeks ago.   On my client, I am experiencing intermittent video/audio freezes that last about a second (rewind/replay is normal so it is not a problem with the source material).   I have experienced the problem with both live TV and recorded shows.   Sometimes we can watch an hour or more with no problems then there will be a cluster of 5 or more events, often within less then a minute of each other.   At first I though this was just an audio dropout, but now see it is a problem with both sound/audio -- no pixelation, no blackouts, just screen freezing or going very slow for a second or two.
At the suggestion of Verizon tech support, my connection to the client is all component and digital optical audio (I used to be HDMI for video, but because of my home theater needed to be digital optical for sound).
I have also noticed times where the response to the remote on both the client and server systems slows down with delays.   For example, when watching a show on the server, if I hit the quick (1 minute) rewind key -- I will see the server blink indicating it got the IR command, but nothing happens for 10 seconds or more. In fact, if I hit the key several times, it will queue up the commands and do a long rewind 10 - 30 seconds after the first remote keypress.
Is this a media server problem? On my latest call to tech support, they were suspecting a coax issue -- but rewiring my house is neither easy nor cheap.   Plus wouldn't a coax issue manifest problems all of the time as opposed to a quick series of problems in a 5 minute cluster an hour or so into a night's viewing.
I would prefer to keep Quantum; but I have not yet returned my original multi-room DVR setup (that worked fine) and need to determine if this can be fixed or should I just give up and return the Quantum boxes instead.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have actually had a very good experience with Verizon Technical Support. On my last call, tier 2 support did a remote test of my cable connections and detected a problem.   A technican was then scheduled to come to my house.   The technican addressed 4 problems.
1. The client boxes were sent to me without end-caps (signal terminators) for the coax out ports;
2. The 4 way spliter needed to be replaced (the original was provided by Verizon);
3.  The fiber box was not properly grounded; and
4. We moved the cable modem next to the splitter putting it closer to the other units and bypassing a 50' cable run that may or may not have had problems. -- Of course this last fix had me running cat5e cable to the office where the modem was, but so it goes.
Anyway, after those fixes, my droppout problem appears to have gone away.

Hi theora,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

It appears that I have the same problem with my IPhone 5 as many others. After I installed IOS 7 my phone freezes up constantly.

I bought the IPhone 5 a few months ago and realized that the phone signal is much weaker than my Iphone 4s. I work way out in the country running heavy equiptment and working cattle most the time by my self. I really need a phone for potential emergencies. I went into the ATT store where I bought it and they told me there is nothing I could do. It had been 2-3 weeks since I bought it so I was stuck with it. Now it has been a few months and I am basicly without a phone when I am at the farm.
The first couple of times I went to the store to complain they told me the last time that a tower was going into operation soon near my farm. I tried to do a search on that and even called ATT and they wont confirm one way or the other as to the tower. I have owned IPhones every since they came out and have been happy with them.
Now a couple of weeks I installed the IOS 7 update and now the phone freezes up all the time. I have have had a plumbing business for 30 years in
Victoria, Tx and I intend to tell everyone I know not to buy apple. They have lied and manipulated me into keeping this phone past the time I can return it.
And I cant use it where I need it most. I called ATT about the freezing and they told me to do a complete backup and restore. That did not do anything except waste a lot of my valuable time and make my life miserable trying to get everything back to the way that I like it.
I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and just buy another phone because I am locked into a contract for the next two years.
Very dissapointed with Apple and cant wait to be done with them.

The music continued to play with the iPod?
If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

Every time I open my emails, my phone freezes so I can't do anything, it lasts around 10 minutes, does anyone know how to solve this?

TS2755 why wont my iphone let me delete messages? my phone freezes and then all the messages i deleted reappear.

i have tried deleting my messages 3 times and everytime they go away but m phone freezes so i turn it off. But when i turn it back on all the messages i have deleted reappear. Also i have not gotten several texts that people have sent me.

Hi Amitt_s,
After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup? If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

N73 phone freeze problem

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone could help me out.
My phone was working fine before..But suddenly one night,when I tried to dial a number, the screen freeze. I had to take off the battery then restarted again. At first, I could turned it off, but after 30sec, the screen blink onece and freeze and the screen became all black and turned off. Now, when I turn on the screen, only the word"NOKIA" appears, then the phone freeze. and I have to take off the battery to turn it off.
Does anyone know what problem is it? Hardware?Software?Firmware?
I would be reaaly appreciated if anyone could help me out...
Thanks guys...

you could try if a hard reset works
press and hold "green phone" +(3) +(*) and when they are pushed in press th "ON" button. i think this is the correct way
the phone should be turned of
This will reset all in phone so everything save in phone will get deleted. But as it seems you wont be able to save any information no matter how you do it.
If this dont work i guess that a Service point is your chance
