IPhone 4 crashing since ios 6.0 update

I'm running IOS 6.0.1 on my Verizon iPhone 4 - since upgrading to ios 6 my phone has been experiencing random cashes as in it resets/reboots itself with the apple logo randomly and I've also been able to reproduce it by rearranging multiple apps on my home screen to another page. Updating to 6.0.1 did not help. Anyone else having similar issues.

Bryan, I am in the same boat as you. I installed ios 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 last week and it has been a disaster ever since. It crashes at least 3 times per day and is slow. Sometimes it will freeze for no reason. I have done 2 hard reboots so far and the situation has still not improved. Also, the battery is being drained at over twice the rate it was when I was using ios 5.
I am telling everyone iPhone user I meet about the issues in the hopes they don't update their ios like I did. Apple should have waited to release this operating system until these major issues were fixed. This goes beyond just the usual teething issues associated with a new Operating System. So far I don't have any answers and can't find any solutions. :(

Safari constantly crashing since iOS 7.03 update

Since the iOS 7.03 update Safari crashes bringing up web pages or scrolling through webpages. It crashes so often that it is unusable. It was perfectly fine prior to the iOS 7.03 update. Is anyone else having this or a similar problem and any ideas on how to fix this?
The memory is cleared out.

Try Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.
If this doesn't work try restarting your iPhone:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
If no help try resetting your iPhone:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If no help try Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
If you still have problems restore the iOS 7 software using iTunes on your computer.

My iphone has crashed since the last software update

I have an iphone 2g I think, is there a way to tell?
But anyway it was working fine before I updated it with the lastest iphone software update and now the iphone has completely crashed. I connected it with the USB cable and it said Apple mobile device (recovery mode) tries to install the hardware and doesn't. So I unplug the iphone and try again and the same thing happens. Third time, the computer doesn't even recognize there is anything connected. On the screen of my iphone is a picture of the USB cable and the itunes logo telling me to connect but I can't.
I have tried many things to get it working, like download the driver, check if the USB apple connection is there. And from what I can see its all there but it still doesn't recognize my iphone or connection.
Any ideas? I have only had this iphone for a few months and can't understand how a apple software update can ultimately crash there products.
I need any help. Many thanks.

Copied from your previous post.
You are right the Iphone is locked into the carrier softbank from Japan and its not the 3g model its the one before it, I am not sure what model.
If your iPhone is not the 3G model - it is the one before that, this means your iPhone is the first generation iPhone or the original iPhone, which WAS NOT sold officially by Apple in Japan. The first generation iPhone was sold officially by Apple in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T, in the UK as carrier locked with O2, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked by Orange. The ONLY country where the first generation was sold as officially unlocked was in France, which is required by French law.
The original iPhone - the one before the 3G was not sold by Apple in Japan directly or through Softbank.
Did you purchase your iPhone from Softbank or from an Apple store in Japan ? If so, this would also mean your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank since the iPhone is sold in Japan officially as carrier locked with Softbank only, and this would be the 3G or 3GS, not the original iPhone. This would also mean you are roaming internationally with Softbank with your iPhone in China. If you are using a SIM card from a carrier in China with your iPhone, your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked unless you purchased your iPhone from an unofficial source in Japan which was sold originally as new officially in France as officially unlocked by the carrier Orange in France.
Is your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank in Japan, are you paying Softbank international roaming fees while using your iPhone in China?

Accessibility zoom crashes since ios 8.2 update

I'm visually impaired and so I use the zoom feature for most of my experiences with ios devices. it is the main reason I converted to Aplple products. No other company that I've seen, has a zoom feature that allows me to zoom in on apps that don't support the pinch zoom. I have loved Apple since I converted.
UNFORTUNATELY! Apple tried to fix something that wasn't broken. Since updating my ipad 2 to ios 8.2 the zoom feature sporadically freezes. I'll be stuck where I'm zoomed in at and cannot move the screen around nor can I use the home button to return to the main screen nor will the power button allow me to turn the device off nor any other function. I HAVE TRIED tapping all combinatins of fingers in different intervals and yada yada yada. The only thing I've found to get me out of the mess is to do a hard power off with the power button and the home button. This can be very frustrating if I am working on something important or if I have to do it multiple times in one sittig.
At first I just attributed it to updating my old ipad 2 to an ios that it really can't handle UNTIL it happened to my iphone 6 plus (side note: larger screen a HUGE "plus" for those of us who use the zoom feature. Thank you Apple). If the 6 plus can't handke the zoom then there has to be something wrong with the updated zoom software.
IT happens in a variety of apps so perhaps its a compatibility issue . It happens a lot while using the Youtube app.
Is there a tweak or a fix I can do to solve this issue? Do Apple developers monitor this forum or is this just a place for costumers to gripe? How do I report this issue to Apple so that it can be fixed in ios 8.2x ?

I have the exact same issue, but on the new iPad and it's still not fixed in 8.3.
If anyone knows something I'd like to know too.

HT1476 iPhone dies faster since iOS 6 software update

i currently have two problems. 1. my iphone will only charge while its turned off. 2. my battery dies faster then it used to be after the previous problem happened on October 1st. 3. my speaker/ringer on my phone has stopped working, my sounds will only work while my headphones are plugged in. no sound will come out anywhere. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update.. how do I get my phone to work right

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update 7.1.. how do I get my phone to work right

First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

When I send a PDF attachment by email the recipient sees only a blank unfilled form. This has only occurred since IOS 7 was updated. The email with the PDF when recieved by my MAC is OK, but my phone and iPad are not!
Any advise would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. Sought to insert a pdf into Apple Mail after editing a form pdf and only the blank form shows. I didn't use Preview to generate the form, just Acrobat. And, the filled in form inserts perfectly into an email when I use Outlook for Mac. Problem only with Apple Mail.
HELP!!

My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

Autofill autocomplete does not work in Safari on 3gs since ios 6.01 update

I have tried many fixes but cannot get autofill autocomplete to work on Safari since ios 6.01 update. Any other fixes?

I also have the same Exact Problem, only your explanition appears more technical and understandable. This problem appears more severe on YouTube.com videos and alike, however it is also severly choppy and problematic on other sites. Surprisingly Live Broadcast videos work better than not Live videos, however this is not something I'd like when my data isn't throttled yet. I crosstested it to see if there is any issues on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6, last version) and Galaxy S4 (Android Kit Kat, last version on S4) and there is no issues on those devices so it is an iOS 8(+0.1/0.2) and iOS 8.1 problem and I am 100% confident about it.
I do think it is the video player's problem with Websites and Webstreaming. There is no problems playing music videos on my device's storage. I didn't get that many error messages but it just doesn't play properly on Safari and Chrome, like what you are experiencing too. I may go ahead and report it too because it is gotten to a point where it is annoying to watch videos. It is not just an over 4G (+ or - LTE) only issue, it is also via Wifi even so it is a tad better. I can't tolerate playing a video 15 seconds in, have to wait 15 more seconds for it to play, it plays to 0:35 then I have to wait 15 more seconds. Even a 240p video, it does it so, it is clearly not a tolerable bug. I don't have a work around so far (tried everything from reset to wipe the phone and reinstall all the apps).
My Device is an iPhone 6+ with iOS 8.1 (yes, it is not just exclusive to the iPhone 5S. I assume it also effects the iPhone 6 based on technical specifications).

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home. Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

Cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan

Can't get icloud to restore after crash from ios 8.1 update, says server not avaible, any suggestions?

Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
•Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

Unable to open PDF files in messages since iOS 8.3 update

i updated my iPhone 6 to the iOS 8.3 update and unable to open PDF files with in the messages app ... I was able to do this prior to the update. Was the functionality taken away (still able to open jpg and ping files)?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???
