IPhone 5s freezes when double tap home button

So yesterday.....I was using my iPhone 5s normally....and all of a sudden the "sing into icloud loop" begun to happen. I quickly searched for a solution to this and tried everything but still didnt make it go away....so I saw that there was a new update...I deceided to update my phone as it may resolve my issue....I updated to iOS 8.1.3 and now my phone has even more problems!!! The Icloud loop still happens....and now...whenever I double tap the home button my phone completely freezes for a good 10-20 second! It will NOT let me kill apps....even after the freeze goes away...the only way to get out of the freeze is to press the home button to return to the screen....if I try to double tap again...the same thing happens! And on top of that my battery life is SUPER BAD! If I am surfing the web for 15 minutes....it will go from 100% down to 50%!!!!!!! What can or what should I do?!???? Is it something wrong with my phone? I have only had it for 10 months. Please ANY HELP would be appreciated!

The freezing problem should be solved by a Rest or a Restore, for a reset, just hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the same time until the screen goes black and then you'll see the Apple Logo appear, then you can release the buttons.
if that doesn't work, plug your phone into iTunes, back it up, and restore it and set it up as a NEW device. See if the problem happens, if not, then there was an issue in your backup. Restore again from your backup and remove whatever you installed last and continue till you find the issue.
As far as your battery life, the most common issue for quickly draining batteries is your push notifications, especially when it comes to the mail .app. Turn off Push notifications and change it to check at a longer time rate, or manually. This will dramatically save your battery life. Hope this helps.

No camera shortcut button on lockscreen after double tapping home button

Even after double tapping home button on lock screen I get no camera shortcut, just Itunes controls. I have closed all applications and restarted Ipad and still wont show up. Pleeeeease Help very frustrating

You need to double click the home button. Have you tried that? The camera button does not appear by default. It pops up after the double click.
Hope this helps.

U mean used apps running background if that Wht i do is double tap home button , then swipe it upwards

To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Swipe up on the mini screen of the open app - not the app icon itself.

Double Tapping Home button doesn't go to Favorites... ONLY iPod

Hi- Recently upgraded to 1.1.3, and I set up my Home button "Double Tap" feature so that it should display the Favorites when Double Tapped (and not playing music), but the Double Tap only produces iPod controls.
I DOES work if I'm already at the Home Screen... a Double Tap will bring up the Favorites. But I thought the whole POINT was to get to Favorites from the Slide to Unlock screen???

I think I understand what you're saying. I have the Home button double-tap set up to go to my favorites as well, but it only works if you're already "unlocked" and at the Home screen.
If your phone is asleep and you double tap the Home button, all you get is iPod controls and the "slide to unlock". I'm guessing this is how it's supposed to be...forcing you to slide to unlock before you can do anything else.

Chnage double-tap home button shortcut

I know how to change double tap between favorites, camera, search and ipod. I don't use those and the search shortcut is redundant with the default left swipe feature on the home screen.
What I would really like is to have double tap home toggle Wi-Fi on and off. This would be very useful to me. Anyone know if it's possible?

No, it's not possible.

Iphone 6 double tap home button freeze

I've just switched from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 and have everything restored. But notice that when i double tap the home screen to access other apps, the screen freezes for at least 2 secs before i may swipe anything.
This did not happen when i was using my iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and this is particularly frustrating after an upgrade in both hardware and software. i thought it was lack of memory but this happens even when i have no app running and there's still 30 odd G of free space in my phone.
So is this a bug yet to be fixed or is it just my phone?
thanks,
Bryan

after using the new phone for two days the problem has gone.

Why does double-tapping home button on my iphone 5 not show app bar?

When I double-tap the home button on my iphone 5 it shows a search iphone screen but not the bar with the apps recently used. Why is this? How can I change that?

Hello blackforestbanker,
From previous experience in this issue i have found that people are not tapping the home button fast enough twice to be able to pull up the app bar at the bottom.
While on your home screen try to double click the home button twice pretty quickly. If that dont work try to reset your device with the home and power buttons held in at the same time for about 8 seconds and then when the apple logo comes on the screen release the buttons. When the phone is turned back on then try to double click the home button again an see if that has resolved the issue for you!
Hope this helps and have a great day!
Regards,
Gale Bertram

Have to double-tap home button TWICE to bring up iPod Control on 3.1.2 ?

I noticed it takes more time for the iphone to wake up after I press the home button on 3.1.2 . Usually it's instant, now it takes roughly 1.5 second now. And I have to double-tap the home button twice (four times total)when I need the iPod Control(<<,>,>>), the phone doesn't respond to the first double-tap. It only wakes the screen up,then I have to do it again. This is so frustrating especially when I need to switch songs.
BTW, this happens everytime when the phone is asleep for more than 20 seconds. If I double-tap when the phone has just been put to sleep (<20 seconds), the iPod Control comes up normal.
And it's normal when it's connected to a PC, the screen wakes instantly.
Anyone had this issue ?

My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
This just started happening 3 days ago.
When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
WIFI OFF:
WIFI ON:
I hope someone can assist me with this!
Thanks!!

There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

Double tap home button on locked screen doesn't bring up playback controls

Just upgraded to iPhone 3.0 softwareand noticed this problem.
On iPod Touch, if you have the screen set to auto lock, you used to be able to double-tap the home button to bring up music controls without having to swipe to unlock (handy if you wanted to skip to next track). Now you can't.
Also, somewhat bizarrely, shake to shuffle doesn't work if iPod is playing and screen is locked.
The other features are great, but losing some basic functionality on the iPod is a pain.

You used to be able to double tap and you'd get music controls WITHOUT having to slide to unlock. This behaviour has gone the way of the dodo since the upgrade. Now it just prompts you to slide to unlock.

Double tapping home button doesn't bring up controls?

Why doesn't double tapping on the home button bring up controls to play my podcast on my locked phone like it used to before the podcast app?

Settings> Control panel> Access on lock screen. You will simply need to enable this and then when the screen is on but locked you can still swipe up and access the controls.

I tried double tapping home button and scrolling right but didn't work. I am trying to correct my message page that is turned sideways and won't respond to shake or turning phone around. What else can I do?

I tried double tapping my home button and swiped to the right but did not help me. I am trying to straighten my message page that is stuck sideways and won't respond to shaking or turning phone around. What else can I do?

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Lock the screen in portrait orientation: Double-click the Home button, swipe the multitasking bar from left to right, then tap icon with the circular arrow in a square. Read this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3805

Double Tap Home button for Favorites

After updating I can no longer double tap the Home button to pull up my Favorites. Has that option do such vanished or is it under a different menu?

Actually they didn't if you double click and hold on the second click you should be able to get to your favorites.
Well it was a feature in 4.0 but can't seem to get it working on 4.0.1.
can anyone confirm that in 4.0.1?
