IPhone 5 crashes repeatedly with iOS 7.1

Hi there,
I have an iPhone 5 (16GB) and it worked fine up till recently. About 10 days ago I updated the system to iOS 7.1. It went well for a few days, but some days ago the phone crashed and restarted when I was typing text in Facebook Messenger.
Since then the phone crashed multiple times (almost daily) and usually when using the built-in apps.
It crashed when I used:
- text messaging,
- the built-in camera app,
- the built-in weather app (multiple times).
It seems that this is OS related.
Does anyone experienced the same issue?
And do you have any solutions or suggestions?
Restore?
Thanks in advance...

I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.1 and have had none of those problems.
Something may have gone amiss in the upgrade to iOS 7.1 on your iPhone.
To correct this follow these steps:
1. Backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
2. Use iTunes to completely restore your iPhone as Factory new.
3. Monitor behavior to see if the iPhone is stable. If not, you may have a hardware problem - if so, contact Apple support.
4. Restore your iPhone from your backup above.
5. Check stability to confirm that it remains normal.

IPhone 4 stop working with ios 6.1

iPhone 4 stopped working with ios 6.1, visited apple first time, restored phone and worked, less than 24 hours later stopped working again, back to the store, I told iPhone is out of warranty and they'll replace for $150. iPhone worked fine with previous version, no problem at all. Asked to restore to the previous software version, told can't be done. Why should I pay for a damage caused by a software update. Tec claims that ios 6.1 will not work with my phone because it discovered some hardware malfunction, possible the home button. They can't repair. suggested to go to a third party. I'm a satisfied Apple product user for many years. What happened? Any welp out there?

Hey.. I have had this issue since yesterday afternoon.. Some people are saying to keep restoring again and again until it finally goes through.. I have done so like 10 times on my MAC and then I used my husband's PC and tried it 4 times.. No success.. I called apple support, but no help came from there at the end, and the only thing they were able to suggest to me is to sell me a new phone just like mine for a discounted price.. **** NO

That will only make it possibe to go backward.. You will end up back with the IOS 5, but at least you will have a working phone and it will bring back all your contacts and everything else that you ever had backed up on icloud and on your computer. There might be descripencies with the Applications but again this is an issue easily solved, you can always download them back.
Two more things: One, you do not have to download the old version of the itunes, the newest version worked for me without any issues
When choosing to download the older IOS 5.1.1, you will need to figure out whether your carrier is GSM or CDMA but you can easily google this info online..
Well hope that will work for you like it did for me

There is no legit way at all to downgrade.

I am using Iphone 3G and running with ios version 4.2.1 .I am looking for to run whatsup apps.Can you guide me which IOS version should i download wherein,it will support whatsup apps

I am using Iphone 3G and running with ios version 4.2.1 .I am looking for to run whatsup apps.Can you guide me which IOS version should i download wherein,it will support whatsup apps

with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version. If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app. You will need to get a more up to date phone

HT4623 "Connect to itunes for push notifications" appear on the Whatapps screen repeatedly after my iPhone 4 was upgraded with IOS 7.0.4.

After my iPhone 4 was upgraded to IOS 7.0.4, some of the apps cannot be used instantly as before. For example, the Whatapps does not alert unless I open the apps manually. Then a message "Connect to itunes for push notifications" appear. Even I tried connect to itunes for sync again, this problem still cannot be resolved. The same problem applies to some other apps like Runkeeper. Don't know why.

Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

My iPhone is crashing down for iOS 8.0.2 update

I updated my iPhone software from iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.0.2 through Wi-Fi on my phone yesterday. And it caused a lot of issues. First, all my apps downloaded from the App Store just DO NOT LAUNCH. All apps just stop at the splash screen. Second, Safari CANNOT update any password to iCloud Keychain. Once I touched the update all button, Safari just stop responding and crash down soon. Third, iPhone will stop responding for a little while right after the keyboard shows or disappears.

That´s a copy of my claim to Apple with the issues I have in my iPhone 5 after Ios 8.x update. Waiting for solutions....
Good afternoon,
Since installing Ios 8 in my Iphone, I´m having some issues with my phone. When I try to use my phone, sometimes it crashes, the tactile screen doesn´t work and vertical subtle stripes appear in the screen. If I lock the phone with the top right button and then unlock it, the phone works fine again for a few seconds and crashes again. Sometimes the phone works fine for a few hours, but then the problems become again..
I have been talking with the Apple support from Spain on 2 times.
First time Id case: 669200202. They tell me some people are having some issues with Ios 8.0.1 and I was given instructions to restore my phone via iTunes and setup the phone as a new terminal, but that doesn´t work...then with the new version, Ios 8.0.2, we do the same. I install the new Ios 8.0.2 on friday 26. Phone setup as a new terminal, no backup files restored. All fine, but yesterday (saturday 27) by the end of the day I began with the same problems...
Today I call again to Apple support.
Second time Id case: 670100537. They told me that Ios 8.0.2 it´s not the problem. I have proposed to send a video showing the problem, but they don´t want it.. They think that maybe the poblem was there time ago (hardware problem), but Ios 8.x has revealed that problem. I don´t know if this is true or not, but with Ios 7.x my phone works completely fine, and now I can´t do anything...
The phone was purchased 26 of April of 2013 to Phone House company (In Navarra, Spain). The phone was replaced 20 of June of 2013 by Apple distribution Internationl, Ireland, because the first unit was defective (customer order D94840590, Apple order number 2451038412). As I said the phone works well since I install Ios 8.x and now Apple support from Spain tell me that must be a hidden problem with the phone that Ios 8 revealed? This is not serious!
The 1 year warranty expired and now Apple Spain told me that I can make a claim in Phone House , where I bought the phone, because a manufacturing defect. (If the phone had been purchased directly from Apple they told me they will give other solutions, but that is not the case....it´s a joke?) That sounds me real bad. I´m going to have problems with Phone House because they will tell me that it´s a software problem of Ios 8.x and that I will have to talk with Apple.... Summarizing, I will be without phone, lying around Apple and Phone House for an unknown time and maybe I will have to pay for repair something that was fine before Ios 8 install. Not to mention that I loose all may photos, contacts and other information that was in my phone because they told me that I can´t restore my backup copy...
When I buy Apple products I hope to have a support that other companys doesn´t give, but now Apple Spain doesn´t give me the support I expect from a serious and big company. If my phone was fine with Ios 7.x and now with Ios 8.x crashes, I think that Apple must repair and solve that problem quickly and with the least harm to me. I don´t know if it´s a software or hardware problem. What I know is that since Ios 8.x install my phone only have problems...
I have been talkin with Nikolaos Theodoropoulos ([email protected]). He send me via email his contact details if I want to talk again. Read at the end of this document the email I sent to Nikolaos. I have not reply from him.....
I hope you will be able to give another solution, with the less wasting of time and money for me.
Thanks for your help,
Javier Seoane

Nikos Theodoropoulos Hoy a las 1:12 PM
Buenos días,
Tal y como hemos hablado telefónicamente, me parece bastante falta de seriedad el no hacerse responsable de los fallos generados en mi terminal tras la instalación de las versiones Ios 8.x que Apple ha introducido. Una compañía de su renombre y reputación debería responder de otra manera, fue ese uno de los motivos por el que me decanté por la utilización de sus productos.
Me sorprende también que después de ofrecerles la opción de enviarles un video mostrándoles los defectos que han hecho inservible el teléfono después de actualizar a Ios 8.x, no me hayan solicitado que se lo haga llegar. Me parece que este video podría servirles para detectar y comprender mi situación con el Iphone 5 tras actualizar a Ios 8. Hay mas clientes con problemas, desconozco si iguales o no a los míos, pero ha quedado demostrado (con las rápidas soluciones que han intentado dar con nuevas actualizaciones de Ios 8.x) que algo ha salido mal y mi caso particular demuestra que algo sigue funcionando mal. Mi términal con Ios 7.x funcionaba perfectamente, pero eso no les sirve como prueba de que Ios 8.x es el causante del problema. Su respuesta es que quizás había un problema oculto (del que nunca me he enterado...) que Ios 8.x ha sacado a relucir....me parece una respuesta incorrecta, puede ser cierta, pero lo que no me parece correcto es la solución y respaldo que ustedes me dan. Esperaba algo mas de ustedes.
Siempre he presumido de tener un términal cuasi perfecto para mi trabajo (dependo del teléfono al 100%) y ahora con problemas tras actualizar a Ios 8.x me remiten a la tienda donde compré el teléfono, dejándome desamparado y sin la solución inmediata que requiero...
En siguientes compras, la verdad que me plantearé volver a comprar productos Apple, ahora mismo, no me parece que ofrezcan mejor respaldo y soluciones que otras compañías teóricamente menos potentes.

Song as Alarm Clock Tone Stopped Repeating with iOS 8

This is a statement of fact rather than a question since the Feedback page doesn't allow me to submit anything.
Since the update to iOS 8, my selected MP3 as my Alarm Clock tone no longer repeats. It used to repeat in iOS 7 until you manually turned off the alarm or the Snooze. Now it only plays once and shuts off. Then the Alarm dialogue box remains open. I've overslept twice because of this problem.
I would also like to be able to use my own created ringtones as my Alarm. I am able to use them for my Voicemail and other Alerts, but there's no option for that within the Alarm Clock. Only purchased ringtones.

Happened to me, too (first morning after upgrading). One of those reasons I hate to upgrade and always put it off as long as possible...you never know what they're going to f**k up for you. Add my voice to the chorus of dissatisfied alarm clock users. Why DO they mess with stuff like this?!?

Iphone 4s battery problem with ios 8.1

I actualized my iphone 4s with ios 8.1 and the battery dures 8-10 hours, meanwhile with ios 8.0 dured more than a day with the same use. I turn on the phone at 8:00am with full battery and at 6:00pm the battery has less than %10 charge. Could ios 8.1.1 fix this problem?

Thanks for the help. I've tried to do what the instructions of the blog says, but I can't see the battery ussage and standby information. I don't know why, before the instalation of ios 8.1. I saw this information... What can I do to see it again?

IPhone 4s SO SLOW WITH IOS 8

Hello. I upgrade my iPhone 4s 16gb to IOS 8 and I saw that upgrade slows my iphone and I thought that problem will be solved. but now i have IOS 8.1.3 and iPhone is still slow. i want to downgrade to IOS 7.1.2 but its unavailable anymore... with ios 7 that was perfect speed and perfect software... please make downgrade available. PLEASE... IOS 8 is so bad on older iPhones. thats why i want to downgrade. and I think many people want to downgrade their older iPhones. so Apple make downgrades available. that was good to downgrade to software we want.
Update disappointed user.

Downgrading iOS is not possible on iPhones (in a legal way), I'm sorry, you can make your iPhone faster to close your apps in the multitask menu (double-click the home button and swipe the app upwards) and make some space in your storage (delete some apps, photos etc)

My iphone is acting up with ios 7

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

Iphone 5 battery problem with iOS 7

I am experiencing horrible battery time since I upgraded to iOS 7. I feel like I'm down to almost 60% of battery power. Anyone else experiencing battery power issues with their iPhone 5 and the new iOS?

Strangely enough, the phone seem to have stabilized by itself, as if it had to learn my ways before getting back to normal. I did turn off some notifications, as well as some localizations, but that did not have any effect on my battery. After 2-3 recharges though it's now back to normal.

IPhone 4 Crash Increase on iOS 5/iOS5.1.1....

Has any iPhone 4 users been experiencing more crashes than normal? I cannot open Facebook or Twitter on safari or their apps. My iPhone acts as if it's loading the page data up then the screen goes black and safari crashes. Same with their respective apps. It's as if those two pages overload my phone. I had this problem with iOS5 and it's recent update iOS 5.1.1. Today my phone crashed 23 times in a row (yes I counted!) before I gave up trying to open them.
Along with the two issues above, I noticed if I send any iMessages to anyone during the time I am experiencing the high number of crashes, they delete off my phone AND the recipients phone. They will deliver, but when I open iMessage after a crash they will have gone.
Last week I plugged my phone to iTunes and did a software upgrade and imediately started having the issue, then within about two hours of upgrading to 5.1.1 I I had to do a software restore because it was SO bad. It solved the problem for all of about NEVER lol I thought it might have something to do with the ram needed to run those apps and load those pages so I deleted ALL my images and loads of apps I don't use, that only increased my storage size. When I started experiencing these issues I had about 4gb left of my 16gb storage, after a restore and clean out I had 10gb. When I started experiencing the problems I was still on iOS 5.0 I'm now on iOS 5.1.1 and it's gotten worse and thrown the new issue of iMessages deleting that I have sent in to the mix.
Lastly, I noticed its not a constant issue. I will have a series of crashes, my phone will act incredibly slow, iMessage deletes messages etc, Facebook and Twitter don't open, in fact my phone will crawl so slowly it's pure agony, switching my phone off and the back on doesn't help, and then it will suddenly work again. Like today, I was out sat in the huge post office queue and tried to use Facebook via safari and it kept crashing, happened over and over, it was like this for about 30 minutes, then it sorted itself out again and now I am at home I can use Facebook via safari.
Come to think of it, could it be related to the fact that I was trying to load those apps and we pages up on 3G and not wifi?
Sorry for the long post but any suggestions or help to remedy this issue would be great.

i am experiencing same problem!!!really very frustrated

Iphone 5 touchscreen issue with iOS 7 update

I downloaded the upgrade the day it came out and there were no issues for the first few days. Then about a week later my touchscreen started wigging out. I would not even touch the screen and letters no where near where my finger was would start being typed into the box. I could not select anything on the screen cause it would scroll and select other things, and I was having issues with closing out the apps.
I am averaging 3-5 hard reboots a day and the soft reboots don't seem to have any effect on it.
When I do the hard reboots, it will work for just a few min and then do the same as before.
I restored the phone back to factory settings and redownloaded the phone and I didnt think that I was going to get the password in for the apple ID cause it was doing the same as before. No dropping or wetting of the phone has occurred. I was also able to update to the 7.0.2 and this did nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problems?

I have these issues, on both my iphone 5 and ipad using ios7.0.2 (and all apps have been updated also. I am actually amazed that this forum is not full of complaints about this, such are the number of issues and regularity of their occurrence! I have spoken to friends who also experience freezing, crashing and an erratic touchscreen since updating to ios 7.
The issues (on both iphone 5 and ipad) can be summarised as follows: 1- touchscreen behaves erratically, keyboard use and scrolling in pages no longer as easy as before. 2- apps crash, regularly, particularly mail and calendar. I have linked both mail and calendar to office 365 and wonder if this is anything to do with it? Have to close and restart the app in order to resolve. 3- the whole os crashes & freezes requiring a hard reboot.
I wish I could reinstall the previous os!
