Iphone 4 crashing after update 5.0.1

Question

Ever since updating to OS 5.0.1, my iphone keeps crashing. At first it was while playing a game. Now at random times, it crashes.
I have also restored the os once already, still same problems.
Any help?

Answer 1

I have the iOS 5.0.1 update and I had a similar problem this evening after downloading two podcasts from iTunes:
1. From a clean reboot of the iPhone
2. Open Music App
After a brief pause, the Music App crashed.
I did a sync of the iPhone with my Mac, and the behavior changed slightly:
1. From a clean reboot of the iPhone
2. Open Music App
3. Tap More button at the bottom of the screen
4. Tap PodCast item in list
After a brief pause, the Music App crashed.
I tried removing all of the music items as described above. I also tried syncing the podcasts with the computer, and then unchecking the Sync Podcasts checkbox. This removed the podcasts. However, when I repeated the above behavior, the app still crashed.
I then synced my unplayed podcasts from iTunes and did the following:
1. Open the Settings App
2. Tap the General Item
3. Tap the Usage Item
4. Under the Storage list, tap the Music item.
5. Under the Podcasts list, remove all of the podcasts, except the last one that I downloaded this evening.
6. Press the Button at the bottom of the iPhone to leave the Settings App
7. Open the Music App
8. Tap More button at the bottom of the Screen
9. Tap the Podcasts item
At this point, my one remaining podcast appeared in the list. Subsequently, I resynced my podcasts from iTunes to my iPod and was able to listen to my podcasts.
