IOS 5 froze 3gs. Reboot doesn't Fix

I just updated my Iphone 3gs to the new OIS 5. After downloading the update and installing successfully, My phone freezes on the home screen. No progress can be made, because as soon as the home screen pops up, it's frozen. I tried reset it to the backup before I installed the new OS but it's still frozen. I don't know where else to go to fix this.

Hi.  I am having the same problem on an original iPad. The tabbed browsing works fine, but no "reader" button is showing up in the URL window at the top...
Anyone else seeing this and is a reinstall of ios5 really needed?
Thanks

  • I can't switch apps on my iPhone 4.  I have 9.3 GB of free space out of 30 GB. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem.  Does anyone know of a good fix?

    I can't switch apps/programs on my iPhone 4.  Whatever app I'm in is the only app I can use unless I restart my iPhone.  Then I can choose a new app/program to use but then it's stuck on that app/program until I reboot my iPhone.  Syncing it with iTunes doesn't seem to fix the problem and I regularly close apps/programs so I never have many multi-tasking.
    This problem sometimes goes away for a brief period of time (an hour or two) but it's pretty much been this way for the past 48 hours.
    I have a 32 GB iphone 4 that has the following on it:  4.9 GB Audio, 8.2 GB Photos, 6.2 GB Apps, 0.58 GB Other, 9.3 GB Free.
    I am using iOS v 4.3.5
    Does anyone know of a good fix?

    You mentioned rebooting, have you tried a cold reboot? That is is holding the home and lock buttons down for about 15 seconds?
    Ignore the slider asking to turn off, just keep holding. Once it goes off continue to hold for about 10ish more seconds and it will eventually turn back on.
    Suggestion only.

  • 3gs reboots after 4mins on calls and shows battery dead then shows battery charged on restart any 1 have a fix please

    3gs reboots after 4mins on calls and shows battery dead then shows battery charged on restart any 1 have a fix please

    Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
    after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
    turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
    i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
    best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
    something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
    to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
    the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
    when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
    anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • The iOS 7.1 update doesn't fix the Wifi issue on iPhone 4S!

    My wifi greyed out since iOS 7, the hair dryer did fix the problem for a day. But it greyed out again after a day, and now the 7.1 update doesn't fix that ****???

    Have you followed the steps listed in iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Support - Apple?
    If not, do so immediately.  Also, try: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device.
    The software update is not the cause of the problem.  It is possible, however, that your hardware (i.e., the wi-fi chip) had a hidden problem, probably with heat tolerance, and the heat generated from the iOS update (the processor creates more heat the harder it works) pushed it past its tolerance.

  • Words w friends is freezing up on the new iOS 7 software, the screen freezes leaving a black open space and doesn't fix itself.

    Words w friends is freezing up on the new iOS 7 software, the screen freezes leaving a black open space and doesn't fix itself.

    Probably an issue with the App itself, not with iOS 7 or your iPad.  There will probably be an update coming out soon as there are many people having issues with that App

  • Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • Wifi doesnt work on iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

    The wifi doesn't work on my iphone 4s after updating to ios 8.02. How do i fix this?

    Did you already 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 data by resetting.
    If this did not work, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If still no luck, this might be a hardware problem and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

  • What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

    What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

    The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

    Good Morning Denise -
    Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting to your Wi-Fi network.  I'll include a few more things that you can try to troubleshoot this below.  The first thing that I'm wondering is if you cannot connect to your Wi-Fi at home -- are you able to connect to a different Wi-Fi network (at work, a local coffee shop, etc.)?  That would be one of the first things to try.
    Turning the modem and router in your house of and then on is also a common step as it "reinitializes" everything.  Hopefully, one of the steps below will help you with this.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
    Restart.
    For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
      • Restart your iOS device.
      • Unplug your router and plug it back in.
      • Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
    Still can’t connect?
    Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
    Get more help
    Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
