IPhone 5 restarts when opening texts

I bought an iPhone 5 on launch day and that same day, my phone restarted itself when opening a text directly from the lock screen. I didn't think much of it then and just went on with it but then within the next three weeks, it happened to my phone three more times. I figured Apple would have me restore my phone before swapping it out for me so I went ahead and did that on my own, before calling Apple's tech support about the issue.
My phone seemed to be working fine, after doing the restore, but then the next day, it did the same restart thing twice, when trying to open texts. So that was six times that it happened to me within a month so I finally called Apple and they told me I'd done everything they would've recommended I do so they went ahead and set up a Genius Bar appointment for me to get it replaced.
The next day, I get my phone replaced by Apple and everything seemed to be working ok after the first few days... But then exactly one week after getting it replaced, it happens again! I've now had the replacement phone for 10 days and it has happened to me three more times.
I've tried searching forums about this issue but haven't found anything so I thought I'd share it with you all, in case any of you have heard anything about this or if it's happened to any of your phones.
And by the way, I originally set up both phones as new phones, when I got them so I know it isn't an issue with an iCloud restore.

I have an iPhone 4 , had it for maybe 4 months and it had started doing the same thing with no rhyme or reason for it , some times it will do it 2 or 3 times in a row other times will not do it at all, it's very disappointing considering this is my first apple devise and it's already got issues , I'm not gonna mess with it, it will be going back to the place of purchase ASAP . This one thread is all I have been able to find about this problem so it seems to me this is a very very rare problem

HT201436 No notification on my iPhone 4 when received text messages

No notification on my iPhone 4 when text messages received.

It is happening anywhere, no particular location. I am located in Wiscasset, Maine. I power cycle my phone at night time. I'm using the normal iPhone messaging app, nothing extra or special. And yes I can call the same numbers. My friends will just get my messages from them that they already got or never received, 2-3 days after I sent them, no matter where I am or where they are. They come from different carriers or the same carrier and different types of phone or some have the iPhone. It seems to be extremely random. Very frustrating.

I have two iphone 5 when I text from one to the other the text shows up on both phones How do I stop this

I have two I phone 5's( one is my girlfriends). We shared one apple ID. When I updated one of the phones to 7.1 I started recieving her text and she is receiving mine. Also when I text here it shows up on my phone as a text to myself and also on her phone. I tried to create a seperate apple id for her phone to resolve the issue but that hasnt helped. Any suggestions would be appriciated

My wife and daughter had the same problem. Make sure the Send/Receive setting under Messages in the General section of Settings has the correct, and ONLY 1, apple id. Good Luck.

IPhone restarting when watching Rented iTunes movies!

As the title of the thread says, my iPhone restarts whenever I try and watch Rented iTunes movies on it.
And it is just rented movies that cause the issue, if I rip a DVD and convert to iPhone friendly it plays all the way through quite happily. But with the rented ones, they play for about 7 mins before the iphone restarts.
Has anyone else had this problem?

have you taken any troubleshooting steps? (reset, restore, resync....etc).
mine was restarting itself randomly in ANY application. even after a restore (as a new phone), it did it as i was redoing all my settings. long story short, my phone was ultimately replaced by apple.

Iphone 6 keyboard grayed out when opening text message

when i receive a text message and click on the messages icon, the message shows up but they keyboard is grayed out for a second before becoming visible…has anyone noticed that? i have never noticed it on other iPhones its weird

I have had my Iphone 5 for two months now and have had this issue on the origianl and a new replacement Iphone 5. I have gone to the genius bar twice already. The first time they reset the phone, wiped it clean and re-downloaded all of the software to the phone. They told me to try it out for a week or so. It kept on happening. Everytime I got a text message, (from the locked screen) I would swipe to open and it would crash and give me the apple symbol for about 20 seconds. I have restarted, hard reset the phone, restored from backup as well. Two phones having the same issue? If it happens again I'll set up a third appointment with the genius bar for a possible third new Iphone 5.

My iPhone restarts when I try to open my photos app, how do I fix this

Please help!!! Every time I try and open my photos app my screen turns green and restarts, how do ifix this? I tried turning off and on what can I do?

Hello Hbyars33,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Photos app on your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

IPhone Restarts When Receiving a Text from Android

A person I know has started sending me text messages with characters my iPhone 5 can't read (or that's what I think is happening). Whenever I get these texts my phone restarts once for each text I receive. The exact same thing happens to my friend who has a 4S. Then whenever I hit the Messages app it crashes immediately. I can only reply to texts if I hit the notification when I receive one from a different person.
The way I've found to fix this is to use Siri to send a message to someone but hit the actual message, it loads up the different chats and I can delete the entire thing. Then he'll send another. Without paying $4 a month to block the number, how can I prevent this from happening? It's that string of arabic letters that completey screws over the phone.

May just be something in her contact info (corrupt contact picture or something) that causes code to lock up.
I would suggest deleting contact from phone.
Then delete contact from your address book on computer you sync with.
Then add contact back to computer fresh.
Then sync to get it back on phone.
Then reset any settings for that contact (ringtone etc).
Also note if her contact is the only one that uses a custom ringtone you may have, it could also be the ringtone.
Note, I am just guessing on this stuff but would be a logical course of action to take to determine.

IPhone restarts when charging?

I just got my iphone 4 a few days ago and every time I plug it into my computer or into an outlet with the wall charger it restarts. I get the temperature warning screen, then the phone restarts. Before the apple logo comes up there is a low battery sign in the screen. About 10 seconds later, the low battery sign goes away, the phone starts up, then about 10 seconds after that I get another temperature warning followed by another reboot.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? My apartment is around 50-60 degrees F so temperature doesn't seem to be an issue and I've already tried multiple cables. Another thing is that I tried doing a restore on the phone. When the phone was in restore mode and was still connected to my computer it was fine. No restarts, which makes me thing it's a software issue. I called Apple support and they had no idea why it was happening. I would like to take it into an Apple store but I won't be able to in the near future.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Or hopefully any ideas on how to fix it? I can't even set it up on itunes because it keeps rebooting. Syncing music or movies is out of the question.
Thanks

If you cannot restart, reset or restore, then you will have to take it to an Apple Store or call Apple support to arrange for and exchange.

IPhone crashes when opening certain apps

My iPhone crashes whenever I open the Mail, YouTube, Safari, Stocks, iTunes, App Store, and iPod apps, my iPhone instantly exits the app. This also happens when I tap on the "clear cookies" option in settings. So far it does not appear to affect any third-party apps, or any of the other standard apps that are installed on the phone. I have tried resetting, powering on and off, and restoring the phone many times to no avail. It seems to be mainly the apps connected to the internet, although there are non-internet apps involved. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 4 on AT&T. Please help me!

I have a contact that has an iPhone but when I text him it comes up as a text message and not a iMessage?

I have lots of iPhone contacts but only have one contact that when I send them an iMessage it sends as a text message instead how do I fix or is it on there end?

You both have to have iMessages turned on, you both have to be on iOS 5.0 or higher and you both have to be on an official carrier
oh and you both have to be on 3G or wifi
if one of you doesnt have 3G or wifi at the time then it will send as a text message
I don't have a 3G data plan so my iMessages only send over wifi, and when an iphone is asleep the wifi turns off so I receive iMessages as text messages, but when my wifi is connected it works perfectly

Iphone 5 cant open text pics, have to save to camera roll in order to open

When I receive a text message with a picture in it, I can see the tiny little picture while reading the text message, but when I push the picture to make it larger it doesnt open. I have to then save it to my camera roll in order to open it.

Why is there no reply? I thought Apple techs monitored these questions.
