IPhone 3G Freezes Often

Greetings,
My iPhone 3G has been behaving erratically since the update offered last month. In short, the phone freezes for 15-20 seconds regardless of the operation, and does this fairly often during the day. During this time, the screen is frozen & inaccessible, until the 15-20 seconds are up, after which the command I originally desired occurs. Again, this happens with every app including the phone, contacts, and calendar features. I have restarted the unit several times, and have even been forced to perform a forced shut down. Since purchasing the unit in 2009, I have only been updating it and have not performed a restore. I fear doing so, as I'm worried about data and settings.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am having exactly the same problems. I have deleted several applications, turned off the location function etc., done lots of web research to figure out what is wrong and unfortunately, it starting to look like an Apple problem. What is really frustrating is that sometimes I cannot even use the phone as a phone - it freezes sometimes with incoming calls. There is a quote from Steve Jobs saying that they are aware of this and that a fix is coming in September (http://www.redmondpie.com/software-update-to-fix-iphone-3g-performance-issues-is -coming-soon-confirms-steve-jobs/). From my research, if you go back to version 3, the problem goes away. If you have synched your phone recently, then you have version 4 of the OS on your phone and you will not be able to re-synch back to an earlier version. I am not sure which choice I will go with - restore to version 3 (I have an old computer that I use to synch with and version 3 is on it as an old backup) OR wait for the fix sometime in September

Iphone 5 freezes on lock screen

iphone 5 freezes on lock screen

I reset my phone everytime my phone freezes but did not do the following steps. I will try and let you know. Thing to note here is, this never happened before ios7. I also noticed, freezing often happens with a bunch of "whatsapp" messages showing up on my locked screen. I have disabled that feature to see if it solves the problem. Thanks for taking time to reply.

Firefox crashes when loading Gmail, and random other pages, and freezes often.

Firefox upgraded itself to 3.6.10 sometime last Friday, I believe, and every since I cannot get into gmail, and it freezes often. When I try to log into gmail it will crash immediately. Sometimes if I click "sign in" rather than hitting "enter" it will load, but will lock up or crash within minutes or seconds. It also will lock up if I have more than three or four tabs open, often when loading a video, and crashed while loading Nexis, which I use often for work to do research.
I have disabled add-ons, disabled extensions, run in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, downgraded, re-upgraded. Nothing has worked.

Problem does not seem to occur on a modern Win XP nebook with 1 gig RAM, but does on a relatively old laptop running Win 2000 with 98.5 MB ram.
Error message states that a script is running from a Firefox directory and asks to stop it. Crash occurs anyway!

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

How can I stop my iPhone from freezing?

My friends iPhone keeps freezing, is there a way of preventing this form happening?

If a reset doesn't help, try these steps as needed, as described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem in the phone.

Iphone keeps freezing when I am going to end a call.

My Iphone sometimes freezes when I make phone calls on it. This only happens at the end of the phone call but it is really frustrating because I cannot hang up the call. I called my service provider and they told me it was because of the clear screen protecter I put on my phone. Could this be possible or are they just making this up to get me to quit complaining?

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support

Mac OS X Lion freezes often in help related activities

Hello, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 freezes often on my 13-inch, Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. It seems it's (almost) always related to some activities with help system - it mostly happens when I use search input field in Help menu of any application or sometimes if system help viewer is opened.
The freeze is little bit strange. Typical symptoms are
mouse doesn't freeze, but cursor changes to spinning wheel when it's placed over application which caused freeze
frozen application doesn't respond to any input
it's possible to switch to another application with mouse or keyboard shortcut
any other application appears to be working correctly (mouse cursor is not spinning wheel at least), but UI interactions (with mouse or keyboard) get it to the same state as described above
applications can't be forced to quit, even with keyboard shortcut
finally, all applications and OS X freezes, mouse cursor still moves (even using Magic mouse), but nothing works anymore. Only solution is to switch MacBook off and on
I tried to delete Caches/* in /Library and ~/Library, but it didn't help. My MacBook is upgraded to 8 GB RAM with Kingston DDR3 modules (choosed via Kingston compatibility tool) and Kingston SSDNow V200 Series 256GB SSD disk (trim enabled with Trim Enabler). Crashes are probably not related to RAM upgrade, but it may relate with SSD installation (but I'm not sure when they appeared first).
Freezes almost don't happen in other situations than described.
Any ideas what could cause these problems? Thank you.

I am having similar problem with my machine, a Mac Pro (1,1) with Kingston V200 256GB SSD installed. It is fairly random when it chooses to freeze up, and you described it exactly-- I can still move the mouse and select programs, but nothing is happening, requiring me to do a hard reboot. I have noticed the past few instances it seems the trigger might have been an unattended alert box from Apple Mail (asking for a password) which I didn't see until getting home from work, so it could have been sitting there for hours. Not addressing the alert box holds up all the other Mail processes and I guess it just snowballs (?)
Anyways, I'm thinking the problem is this particular Kingston SSD (the V200). I have another Kingston SSD (the SSDNow V Series SNV425-S2/128GB) which I was using as the boot drive and it has worked flawlessly since I installed it. Later, I got a good deal on the V200 and decided to use it as a secondary drive to hold my working data, for things such as my huge iPhoto library file. Not long after installing the V200 I noticed the problems starting, and after a lot of troubleshooting I noticed this pattern with iPhoto:
If I had just booted up and was using the computer actively and then launched iPhoto, everything was fine. If the computer went idle for a while and then I launched iPhoto, I would get an error about it not being able to write to the iPhoto library (remember the library was housed on the V200). After many trial and errors I found that the solution to this was to use Disk Utility and unmount the V200 (sometimes having to force eject it), then remount it, and then I could run iPhoto fine.
And then of course there were times when I was just trying to browse the V200 in the Finder and it would cause the system freeze as described above. It seems like the drive somehow goes to sleep and then you just can't get it to wake up and it causes all sorts of problem. Whenever I have to hard reboot I run FSCK in single user mode, and I've been getting this error notice a lot:
AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0x1c7b1600, 1 ->2) timed out after 100892 ms
SATA WARNING: Enable auto-activate failed.
However, it will finish the disk check and say the disk is OK, with that "File System was Modified" note. Then when I run the check again it goes through with no problems.
I ended up doing a warranty exchange with Kingston and got a new replacement drive (as opposed to them refurbishing the drive I sent in). I am now using the new V200 as the boot drive, which is turning out to be a bad idea, but I kind of wanted to test it out.
I read on this forum that it might have been my Icy Dock adapter case, which is used to fit the SSD into the Mac Pro hard drive sled, perhaps a faulty case causing the problems. But when I installed the replacement drive I nixed the Icy Dock and have it directly connected, and the problems still remain. I had used TRIM enabler at one point but turned it off long ago to troubleshoot, so I don't think that affects this problem.
Incidently, while I was waiting for Kingston to send back the replacement V200, I was using an external firewire drive in its place as a secondary data drive (ie. the drive housing my iPhoto library) and never had any problems or freezes.
So that's my woes. I can't pinpoint it exactly or definitively but the evidence I have points to something screwy with this particular Kingston SSD model. I am going to contact them again and see about returning it for a refund. If anyone has any helpful information or insight I'd appreciate the info.

My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8 is freezing often. What should I do?

My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8.3 has been very sluggish recently. It freezes often.It is slow downloading from the Internet. Applications are slow to load and sometimes freeze in mid use. If I accidentally click on something that I didn't want to do, and then reclick what I wanted, it gets frozen and seems to take forever to straighten itself out. I try to Force Quit,a dn many times nothing happens.

My iPhone is freezing all the time

Ever since I upgraded to the 2.0 software my iPhone has been freezing upwards of 10 times a day... i only have 5 apps, and I still have 2GB of space on my 8GB
Is there anything I can do to stop my iPhone from freezing... also, when i try to reset it, the reset only sometimes works.

Try to restore it... I'm hating this iOS 5.1, everything was working much better before it was released. I shouldn't have upgraded...

IPhone 4S freezing

Hello, my iPhone 4S freezes everytime I watch a video and even sometimes when I look at pictures... I've tried everything I could think of and have read... Reboots don't work at all, at least I don't think so... The reboot will restart the phone but will have the same problem if I try a video again.... Please help!

You might need to try a backup and restore through itunes to clear the problem once and for all...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 is the article that explains how to backup and restore your device!

hi, does the nvidia driver fully support x.org 1.12 yet? I'm on AMD and the latest driver doesn't support it yet.
maybe you downgrade x.org and see if that does change anything. Put this on top of your repos in /etc/pacman.conf and do a "pacman -Suu".
[xorg111]
Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/xorg111/$arch
by now there is a kernel update but other than that I have no idea. Could be a bug in the driver or gnome, too.
