IPhone 4 Camera Autofocus Delay after Upgrade to iOS 5

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now I noticed the camera auto focus is severly delayed, and constantly searching for focus.
I compared it side by side with my son's iPhone 4 which I did not update to iOS 5 and there is a distinct difference in speed both in picture taking and video when it comes to focusing.
Anybody else seeing this?
Apple, can you please fix this, as it is now impossible to take a quick pict of my kids due to the constant focusing attempts.

I just can;t beieve this, I would never have bought the phone if I knew updating it would make it unuseable for any
thing other then complete novice use. I have done everything to make this work since the upgrade to IOS5 made the "bottom line" quality rubbish. Has anyone zoomed into the image and looked at the quality? If not check it out and you will see it is unuseable.
I'm sick, I use the phone exclusivly for photographic applications and I've spent a fortune on specific photo apps and hardware, I'm a Beta tester for GoPano (360 video) and I wish I had never invested in the iPhone. If Apple can't get a basic thing like focus on the camera right after an upgrade then I don't want the phone..it's useless to me.
Can anyone please let me know how I can get a refund on the phone, or who I talk to to cease ownership, as far as I'm concerned the phone dosen't work to it's specifications.
Please reply as I feel like a fool for buying the iPhone 4. Can anyone tell me how to revert my phone to IOS4? It worked then, not fantastic, but it worked, Seems to me when you upgrade the op system that its ireversable.
HELP PLEASE!

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3. Here is what I had to do:
Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times. Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

Iphone file browser stopped working after upgraded to IOS 5

Hi,
I have an iphone 3gs which I have recently upgraded to IOS 5. But to my horror after I have done that I can no longer browser my iphone's internal storage. Iphone connected to PC via USB, the file explorer no longer available. It can still sync with itune fine but there is noway I can access the storage locater in the phone via file explorer like I used to. Mind you I still have 3GB of space there.
Is that a bug? Or I stuffed up the upgrade some where?
Anyone else had this experience?
Alex

I know whats wrong now...
My phone had been emptied after I last restored it, after I took a picture and insert the phone back to the PC. The file browser shows up again...
That means if there is nothing in the phone, the file browser wouldn't be too bother to even show up. Weird one...

IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
thanks a lot in advance

I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
1. Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150.
2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
3. The Home button still was intermittent. I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
4. I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone. While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously. I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
5. I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
6. As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings. This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4. So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

IPhone 4S wont sync music after upgrading to iOS 7 on windows 7

After upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, I lost all my music.
When I try and sync (USB) with iTunes 11.1 (on Windows 7)
it hangs at the last step "waiting for changes to be applied" (step 5 of 5)
i am looking for weeks for a solution to this problem and i saw meny pepole suffer from it
but still i cannot find a way to fix it
help me please

You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well. It was buggy for me.
I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
Just had to try everything. As final choice, update over the air. I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.

IPhone 5s not receiving iMessages after upgrading to iOS 8

Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

After I installed iOS 8 on the iPhones 5 of my and my wife's the camera on the lock screen isn't working properly anymore. When I swipe up, the camera starts but the screen turns black within less then a second.
On the iPad 2 and the iPad Air (both upgraded to iOS 8) I don't have this problem. It seems to be iPhone 5 specific.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Having the same problem. I'm on an iPhone 5 and I have updated to 8.0.2. When I go to apps directly from the lock screen (timer, calculator, camera) it opens up then immediately turns into a black screen. It appears that removing my passcode fixes this bug, but I can't have an unsecured phone. Please help Apple!

My iphone 6 stopped receiving calls after upgrading to ios 8.2

I have a new iPhone 6, 64 GB. I tried upgrading it 2 days ago to iOS 8.2.
The first time it froze for a long time and when it started, everything seemed
to be ok until I opened my messages, the screen froze then my messages opened a
blank page, then went opened a new message window, and I couldn't do anything
after, except close the messages. then I found out that my phone does not ring
when someone is trying to call me, so I tried calling my phone from a land line
and it shows it is ringing, but my iPhone 6 is not and does not show any
activity. it like its ringing somewhere else. I tried restoring it, and again
it did the same thing, the minute I open my messages. its like it triggers a
malfunction that crashes the hand set.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a solution other than waiting for
the next update that will hopefully fix this problem?

Hello RayGas,
It may help to force close all apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still not seeing any indication of incoming calls and Messages isnot functioning as expected, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

Iphone 5 stuck in grayscale after upgrading to iOS 8

I just upgrade my iphone 5 to iOS 8 (from the last version of IOS 7) with success, but after rebooting it it is stuck in grayscale. Changing to use or not grayscale doesn't change anything.
I tried to reinstall it but I still have the same problem.
And I can back to IOS 7.
Any ideas/solutions ?
Thank you!

Thank you so much for this solution. Here's my scenario:
I was taking photos and reading SMSes while running to meet a friend. I'm sure my fingers were tapping all over the screen and I probably didn't lock it when I put it in my pocket to run faster. When I pulled it out, it was greyscale. Here are my troubleshooting attempts:
DID NOT WORK: Settings > General > Accessibility > Enable/Disable Greyscale
DID NOT WORK: Settings > General > Accessibility > Enable/Disable Invert Colours
DID NOT WORK: Tried inverting colours, exiting Settings app for several minutes, then turning Invert Colours off.
DID NOT WORK: Tried inverting colours, removing Settings app from multitasking menu (hard quit) for several minutes, then turning Invert Colours off.
DID NOT WORK: Triple-tapping home button to bring up accessibility options for Invert Colours. Enabled/Disabled Invert Colours via this method to no avail.
DID NOT WORK: Rebooted phone.
DID NOT WORK: Upgraded from iOS 8.1 to iOS 8.1.2. Phone was still in greyscale after upgrade.
WORKED: Jayesbe's suggestion above to three-finger triple-tap the screen solved the issue. Choose Filter > None. My phone was then in Inverted Colours and I just disabled that to bring back standard colours. Woohoo!
Thanks again!
P.s. Greyscale is still quite useable, but many apps (Facebook, for example) discern buttons and actions (Liking a post) with colour. The greyscale version of some blues and grey look very similar, so it's hard to know if actions are happening or not.
