IPhone 4 doesn't start, from nothing, when I press home button (since iOS 5)

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, almost everyday, from nothing, I can't start the phone by pressing the home button or any other button. So I have to restart all the time it happens, it's getting annoying already!
Is it happening to someone else?
HELP!!!

Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore has new device. Doesn't sound like you've been through ALL the steps yet.

Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

Is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time

is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time?

Months ago my home button was screwed up, and I was worried. I'd have to wait atleast for a week to get it repaired as I was busy with my exams. So I found a solution. Goto Settings->General->Accessibility.
Scroll down, and under "Physics & Motor", select "Assistive Touch". Toggle it on, and you get lots of options. You don't need to click the home button all the time. It is a very simple widget like stuff, that stays no matter what app you're using and you can do various functions with it. Initially, it's irritating as you see it everywhere. But it fades itself out and appears when needed. After you get used to it, it's really helpful.

SQLplus doesn't start from batch when using host comand

Hello.
We have a form to export some data from old (7) database. For that we use batch file that runs sql script.
There is button in form. The code on trigger looks like:
declare
     HostString Varchar2(50);
Begin
     HostString := 'C:\Path\File.bat';
     Host(HostString);
end;
That batch file calls another batch file:
c:
cd c:\Path
call NewFile.bat >> Data.log
And in NewFile batch we call sql script like:
c:
cd "c:\Path"
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\Oracle\Path
C:\Oracle\Path\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE user/pass@db @C:\Path\Script.sql
@echo End
exit
In that script the code looks like:
spool c:\Path\File.txt
desc table;
spool off;
exit
If we run first batch in cmd everything works. When we use forms, form is working forever, freezes.
And Data.log file looks like:
(14:53:48,14) >c:
(14:53:48,14) >cd "c:\Path"
(14:53:48,14) >set ORACLE_HOME=c:\Oracle\Path
(14:53:48,14) >C:\Oracle\Path\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE user/pass@db @C:\Path\Script.sql
Here it freezes, log file is locked.
We are using forms 10 on AS 10. But we must use SQLPlus 8 to connect to old database (7) in that case.
Maybe this is the problem?
Any idea why this doesn't work from forms, but works when run manually from cmd?
Thanks.

U didnt mention version of forms and whether running in client server or web.
Incase of web note that host will execute on application server and hence u need to use webutil_host.
If u are on forms 6i/client server forms try invoking calc using host. If it works fine then u may have to use the code host('cmd /start c:\orant\bin\sqlplus.exe')

Bluetooth devices can't reconnect to iPhone 4 after some time or when A2DP playback has stopped (since iOS 5)

Hi,
so I've had these Bluetooth issues since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. I've searched and searched and found nothing, so finally I decided to post my story here.
First of all I'd like to point out: I've tried everything! ..but more on this below.
I have a Bluetooth capable car stereo, the Sony BT2600, in my car. It works like a charm and I've been using it for listening to music via A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo Audio) since I updated my HTC Prophet to Windows Mobile 6 back in 2008. Since 2009 I've been using it with an iPhone 3G, then a 3GS, and finally with my iPhone 4, which I've owned since october 2010.
Calling worked, listening to music worked, and since iOS 3, I think, AVRCP has been working fine, too.
Now to the things that worked until before the iOS 5 update:
When I got into my car, turned on the ignition, the car stereo automatically tries to connect to the last connected device, so unless BT was disabled on the iPhone, it connected without problems and I could start music playback by pressing the Play/Pause button on the unit, without having to pull the iPhone out of my pocket.
When I got out of my car, turned the ignition, and thus, the car stereo, off, the iPhone would of course disconnect.
Here's where it becomes interesting: When I would go for another drive in my car, the head unit would reconnect to the iPhone, just as in the first point of this list.
Same when starting the car's engine, which cuts the power to the head unit for one second. It would automatically reconnect to the phone and I could press the Play/Pause button twice to resume playback.
Furthermore, when Repeat was not enabled on the iPhone's iPod application and the current album / playlist / podcast would end, the Bluetooth connection would remain active, which was good, because I would still be able to receive calls using the hands-free functionality of the Sony head unit, and I could restart playback by pressing the Play/Pause button on the latter.
My Apple aluminum Wireless Keyboard would also connect flawlessly whenever BT was enabled on the iPhone.
Also the Bluetooth tethering feature would work fine - I could just connect to it via my MacBook's Bluetooth menu, without having to do anything with the iPhone.
Since I updated to iOS 5,
my car stereo doesn't connect to the iPhone unless it's been less than a minute that I'd enabled Bluetooth on the iPhone.
same with the keyboard.
When music playback stops (at the end of an album/playlist/podcast, with Repeat disabled), the whole Bluetooth connection is instantly lost, and can't be regained until I disable and re-enable Bluetooth on the iPhone. Which means that I can't take calls in my car after listening to an album or podcast or playlist when I forget to enable Repeat.
Whenever I have to re-start my car's engine, the connection is, in more than half of the cases, lost until disabling and re-enabling BT on the iPhone.
Same with tethering.
What I've tried so far:
deleted all BT devices from the iPhone's list, re-paired - nothing
rebooted, many, many times - nothing
restored to iOS 5.0.1 - nothing
hit "Reset Network Preferences" - nothing, the BT devices even stay in the list
hit "Delete All Settings" on the iPhone - nothing, BT device list still the same
restored to 5.0.1 again - nothing
restored to iOS 5.1 - nothing
restored to iOS 5.1 from DFU mode, setting up the iPhone "as new iPhone". Big step, PITA, but still - nothing. At least this has cleared the BT device list. But the issues remain. (So does the battery drain issue, by the way, but that's another story)
So. I've oficially run out of ideas. Any inspiration? Many thanks in advance.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

Why my ipod touch 5 restarts when i press home button?????????

when i switch on my ipod touch 5 and give password then it opens and then and then it restarts......but my ipod is ok for sure cause i can use viber, asphalt 8, clash of clan from minimized part, at that time i give password and app is running ok.....what should i do now? plz give me feedback.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Config Tool doesn't start from the application list

Hi all,
I have installed Planning, EAS, and Workforce on a server but when I go to configure the tools, the config tool doesn't start from the page where you select the applications to configure. Instead, it starts with all the apps listed with the message: "You have selected the above apps to configure" and it has a Back button but it doesn't work, and it has a Next button and when I press it, it says Done.
I need to configure the database and deploy to the application server.
The Shared services is on a different server and is up and running. Essbase is on a separate server and that's up and running.
I am working with 11.1.1.3 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Windows OS.
If you have run into this, please let me know what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi
First of all I couldnt get your problem as in your query description you have written "sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0" which is contradictory with the query title "Video doesn't start from the beginning".
But anyways I think you should check ns.time in Play.Start there you should get always 0 but in Buffer.Full there may be the case that ns.time is not 0 but has some value but that value is very small less than 1.
If still you have issue please clarify your problem then probably I will be able to answer your query.
Regards,
Amit

Iphone doesn't start?

my iphone 4 doesn't start?

You can try holding both buttons until it resets (maybe for over 4 seconds) and restoring it via iTunes.
If that doesn't work, try getting to DFU mode, that way iTunes will certainly ask to restore it, either from a backup or as a new phone.

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

You could try a SMC reset:
