IPhone 4 getting stuck in each app. Help

My iPhone 4 is getting stuck in each app. Whatever icon I click on I can't get out of that app without restarting phone.  I can move around in the app (ie Facebook I can refresh or send messages but cant get back to main screens on phone). This happens no matter what app I am using- Facebook, email, Internet, game, etc. 
Help this just started happening.

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

    please help

    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!

  • My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something, if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there

    My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
    I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed?  Please reply.

    I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

    Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
    What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
    I hope I am clear.
    Kindly help

  • Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

    Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

    The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

    Hi everyone,
    Since updating to iOS 7.0.3 my iPhone 4 get stucked in the transitions when:
    - From lock screen, use de camera. The lock screen moves up a bit and then get stucked at some point
    - In desktop, when using control center, it get stucked at some point when is moving up, it doesn't fully spread all the way
    - Sometimes, when navigating between desktops, it get stucked in the middle of them.
    I have made restoration and load my iPhone copy, everything is still the same?
    Any other person with this issue?
    Regards

    Hi, Escarcha. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would close all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.

    If you are still having trouble with the text appearing as you type after following those steps, you may want to try turning off Documents & Data under your iCloud settings.  On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off Documents and Data.

  • Iphone 4s getting stuck when syncing...

    my iphone is getting stuck when trying to finish sync saying, "waiting for changes to be applied"
    anyone have this problem and how to fix?
    please.

    It's me again!
    I think I've located the problem (at least in my case). I use a ringtone program called iToner 2 and that is what's apparently causing a conflict and syncing issues with my iPhone. I installed my ringtones from iToner 2 and the sync issues re-occurred. After deleting my iToner 2 ringtones, I was able to sync again.
    My guess is that some application that you are using that works in some way with iTunes or your iPhone is what's causing the sync issues. I would suggest finding that particular application and not using it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
    I hope this helps! Good Luck!

  • IPhone 5 gets stuck in screen-off mode

    iPhone 5 (iOS: 6.1.4)
    Recently (within past 2 months) I've noticed that my iPhone will get stuck in the screen-off mode.
    I'll be using the phone normally.  I'll push the screen-off button (top right button).  Then later, (whether it's 1 minute or an hour) when I go to turn the screen back on by either pushing the 'Home butoon' or Top right button, nothing happens. 
    I'll push and push and push both buttons.  All I get is a Big Fat Nothing.
    Sometimes if I leave it for a minutes, then push the button, it comes on.  Other times it doesn't.
    It is becoming more frequent.  The most recent time was tonight.  After trying to push buttons.  Then trying to just wait it out, I pushed and held Both buttons together.  It then began going through the boot up sequence. 
    I don't know if by holding down both buttons, it restarted on it's own, or if it was something else.  But I know that the phone was not off. 
    Does anyone know what the problem is?  I know it's not the proximity sensor.  It's definitely something else.
    Thanks for anything.

    I figured out the problem and how to fix it.
    The problem was mechanical.
    How to fix it?
    While under warrenty, take it in for a Genius Bar appointment and have them give you a brand new one.
    Sorry but that's the only fix that worked.

  • How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it?

    How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it instead?
    The update bar on the app gets stuck on empty and then the next time I sync the app gets deleted.
    It is really annoying to lose all my data when updating an app, and it has happend more than once!
    Any idea why it does this? I am scared to update my favorite apps for fear that they could be deleted.
    -Sam

    I never had an app being deleted.  You can always udate the app on the computer and then sync.

  • My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

    My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

    Hi bhagath1339,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.

  • HT4972 I am trying to update my iphone 4S which has ios 4.2.1 and update either to ios 5 or 6. have got the latest itunes but everytime I try to update through itunes it doesn't go anywhere, it gets stuck on backing up. help?

    I have the latest iTunes, but it seems to get stuck on the back up stage; its not that it can't back up as it happens every time I connect, but when I click upgrade to ios 6, then it suddenly takes a long time and eventually just doesn't go anywhere. even left it running overnight but didn't happen. Just doesn't take the next step of uploading the operating system. help would be greatly appreciated, have been trying to do this for two days now

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • IPhone keeps getting stuck

    I have an iPhone 4 and since i updated it to the new software, it has become slower and keeps getting stuck.
    I buy and recommend Apple products to a lot of people but since this thing has happened, I feel like I should switch to another brand.
    If what you are going to tell me is to go to an Apple store and to the Genius bar or something, I have done it before and it didnt work and I live in a town where there is no Apple Store. And i can't keep going to another city and getting back with the same problem!
