IPhone Freezing Problem

Had my iPhone for about a week now and have been having the same problem just about everyday once a day. The problem is that my iPhone will try sending a message, call, or goto the internet and it just won't load/call/send. When sending a message the bar will have a little chunk it won't finish and when I try calling someone it will just sit there and I click "End Call" and it just sits on the phone screen.
This doesn't happen everytime. It's usually the texting problem I encounter the most. The fix I use is just a restart and then it works. This makes me believe it's not a reception problem because I restart the
phone and I don't move.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem?
On a side note:
While making this post on my iPhone it keeps zooming in on where I'm typing but doesn't follow the line. Can I fix this?
Thanks for the help

Yeah the factory restore did nothing to correct the issue.
One thing that I have observed is that when I text someone while I have 1 bar indicating. The message progress goes nearly to the end and then stops for ever. I have left it overnight and it stays that way. No signals in or out. No phone, email nothing. It appears to lock up the transceiver completely until the phone is rebooted. Then the flood of texts and emails start. Ridiculous.
One funny thing is signal meter still goes up and down under circumstances that it normally would.
Hey Apple, you listenting?

IPhone freezes - problem solved

re: my iPhone which used to freeze intermittently with 1.0.2 froze constantly with 1.1.1
I went to the Genius Bar today at the local apple store and they gave me a new phone. So wonderful to have a phone that I don't have to reboot every 5 minutes.
So, moral is, if your phone is freezing often then it's probably defective and it should be replaced.

Iphone Freezing problem... HELP Needed!!!

Hi, i have an iphone running 1.0.2 (i havent upgraded my firmware yet, i know). But i am experiencing the following problem:
My phone freezes after 5-10 hours of usage. Once it does, i reset by holding home and sleep button, restarts, apple logo, but... it stays there forever, no booting sequence, nothing. non of the buttons are responsive.
So i restore the software to my firmware, by getting into restore mode to recognize my iphone in itunes. Do the complete restore.
Then i have tried both, sycning my last saved profile, and not syncing at all, and treating it like a new phone. my at&t account remains the same.
after doing all this troublesome activity, guess what? 5-10 hours later, same problem. any application freezes. whether im in springboard, maps, sms, or simply the lock screen (happens more often here), it just freezes, becomes unresponsive, and then i have to start all over again (if i have a computer nearby, otherwise, i have to wait 3-5 hours to get to my mac, loosing all my phone calls in the interim.
Is there a fix to that other than restoring to 1.1.1? i mean, i agree this should fix some of the problems, but my phone was working perfectly fine one week ago with the same firmware. How can that change?
ANY SORT OF HELP is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are going to need to upgrade the firmware. It sounds like you have done everything you can do as an end user. The next step is to call Apple.
The first thing they are going to tell you to do is update the firmware.
There is no way around it. Lets just hope you don't have a real reason to not upgrade...

Problems with iPhone freezing when trying to answer while on another call?

I am wondering if others are having the problem with your iPhone freezing when you are on a call and another calls comes in. I have had this problem repeatedly. If I try to answer a call while on another call, the other caller can not hear me. when I try and hang up the call...iPhone freezes and disconnects ALL calls.
I do not have a problem if I initiate BOTH calls for a conference call. I am hoping that Apple is aware of this issue and are working on a fix in the next update. Whenever that will be???
Oh well, if you are having this problem and know how to fix it...please let me know. Thanks

I have noticed that during or at the end of a conference call when one party hangs up all parties have always been disconnected. I can tell you that if this is the way it works normally, this is not the way is should work. This is a pain in the butt when it is necessary to call one of the parties back since that party is also trying to call you back. You both get a busy signal.
I do not have a problem answering a second call during a time when I am on a first call. It will place the first call on hold and I will only be talking to the second party. It should work that way. My iPhone works that way.
It should also allow you to add the second call to the first call through the 'merge' feature so that both the first and second calls can be joined together. My iPhone works that way.
My previous Treo worked great on these situations but I do have burps with the iPhone.
I think that the problem is with the iPhone and AT&T interface in these conditions.
I would provide your comments to Apple via:

Hello rj_23_sv,
I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone. If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following article for an issue like this:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
As always, it is a good idea to create a backup before hand:

So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

so my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.

IPhone freezes when sync is in 'backup' stage

I recently started getting freezes every time I sync. Its very predictable:
connect iPhone
sync begins
sync starts to 'backup'
iphone freezes
This happens regardless if its a automatic sync or if I turn that off and do it manually. The only way to sync is to bypass the backup step by changing sync settings and hitting apply.
Sometimes if I delete the backup and it has to make a fresh one it will work, but the last time I tried this it did not (first time it failed to work).
I called apple and they had no idea and said it needs service. I can't test it on a different Mac...maybe user account...so I'm not sure if its a software thing with my system.
FYI...I have restarted, reset, reinstalled re-everything. I have done all the usual steps. NO matter how much or how little data I sync, it freezes so turning off photos/music/etc does not work.
Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. In a different thread I have found a partial solution; it will do an automatic sync without the "apply" trick but it will not make a back up:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6406167
"The only way around this is to disable backups. You can force this by
moving the backup agent from its location at
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Resources/
AppleMobileDeviceHelper.app/Contents/Resources/AppleMobileBackup
You should then be able to sync with your iPhone again, but
unfortunately it won't get backed up."
Dannys1 wrote:
Remove the AppleMobileDevice app as instructed, copy it to another folder and trash the one in the app.
Plug in phone and click sync...it will say its taking a backup still (if it does i have no idea, but in my itunes it said it made one) i clicked a few options around and press sync again a few times.
Then i copied he AppleMobileDevice back in again, disconnected the phone and reconnected...and now it works properly! It backs up every time, ive tried unplugging and reconnecting and it works everytime. I even have automatic sync ticked and the backup works everytime.
It appears we just needed to remove this AppleMobileDevice, then whatever issues Itunes was having during backup no longer happen when you click sync..excellent! and no need to erase all from phone!"
But that didn't work for me.
Any help very welcome!

IPhone freezing when installing or uninstalling application during sync

hi,
I've been running to issues with iPhone freezing during install and uninstalling of Applications during iTunes sync. The installation or remove seems to complete after I force reboot iPhone, but sort of troublesome as I'm having to reboot iPhone for every app I try to install or remove. Also, when trying to install or remove application from iPhone's appstore, iPhone gets very unstable and the installation or remove of application never completes.
Is anyone running into this issue? Any workaround (maybe I need to use Mac instead of windows xp ... ?)

I think finally figured out the problem...
This was due to one of the application I had (purchased) installed called "Wisdom dictionary".
This has been taken off of iTunes already but apparently this application was causing other application to not install. The application is about 120 megs, and the company is currently investigating some memory issue related to expanding the installer. It appears to be Apple issue, they are in contact with Apple, but apparently there is no info from Apple when the issue would be addressed....
Anyway, without this application, my iPhone so far has been working pretty well.
It may be possible other large apps may have similar issues.... not sure.

Since I have uploaded new version of IOS 7 I started to expirience freezing problems of my device. Could you show way of fixing thise problem?

Since I have uploaded new version of IOS 7 I started to expirience freezing problems of my device. Could you show way of fixing thise problem?

Hello Baladadash,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. It is definitely inconvenient and frustrating when you are not able to access your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
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:

Iphone freezes when connecting to wifi.

So my iphone cannot connect to wifi at all. This is what happens. It started 2 weeks ago. Everything works great.
So I took it to six flags magic mountain one day. When I get home I connect my iphone to my pc to transfer the photos I took. I try connecting to wifi, and there are no wifi networks found. I say what? I usually can detect like 5 or more! And the home wifi is right next to me! So I reset network settings, and it starts detecting networks.
So I connect to my home network and It won't connect! I try like 10 times and it finally connects. I say ok, maybe it's good. So I go on safari, and halfway through loading the google page, my iphone freezes. I mean nothing wants to work. After a few seconds the wifi icon is gone and safari says there is no connection, and my iphone starts working again. It does that with any internet app. I tried conneecting and leaving it idle. It freezes and disconnects after a few seconds also. Afte all fails, I restore to 3.0 again. Won't work. I try restoring again and setting up as new iphone. No dice. I restore to 3.0.1, and again no dice! Keeps freezing iphone after a few seconds and disconnecting. I probably restored over 10 times and nothing. I even tried jailbreaking it, and it wouldn't work! Then I updated to 3.1, and still, same symptoms!
It detects networks now, but most of the time it says it failed to connect. The few times it does connect it can load something for the first few seconds, freeze, and then disconnect from wifi. I have tried everything. I don't know what is wrong. I really, really need wifi. Anyone ever had this problem? It can't be a busted wifi antenna can it? My iphone doesn't get hot and my battery life is ok. Everything else works. Also, I've tried it with several networks, even new ones that I have never connected to before.
Anyways, thanks in advance.

Try these Settings changes:
The Setting changes are:
Fetch New Data > Push: Off
Fetch settings are set to Manual & in Advanced all is set to Manual.
My iPhone also lost WiFi but with the changes above it now connects though it takes a bit longer to find the signal. No longer have Push but WiFi is more important, to me anyway.
Good luck.

Lumia 920 restaring and freezing problem !!!

dear sir/madam,
I have bought Nokia Lumia 920 four months back. I have been facing restart problem the day I bought it. I went to Nokia care twice (khobar,SA). But still im facing the same issue. Every day it restarts 2 to 3 times. And sometimes im facing freezing problem also...once it get freezes I need to do hard reset, whenevr I do the reset, time and date changes to Sept 2012. Its really annoying. I'm fed up of using this phone. And im not at all satisfied with the service. When evryone was suggesting me to go for iPhone 5, I stood on Nokia Lumia 920. But these issues makes me to feel that I took a wrong decision. I had spent too much money this mobile but not worth it. I need to travel 100kms to reach Nokia care. That too on working days. Please make it worth when I go next time. Else I will SWITCH TO IPHONE!!!

now my phone got freezed and not booting up...i tried hard reset everything still..its dead from d past 2 days....pls help

I know how to fix the iTunes 7 / firmware ver. 1.2 freeze problem

Many of you (like me) are having major headaches because of the new updates that Apple has been releasing (i.e. iTunes 7). So far I only know that this affects the Video iPod, but this could very well fix other models too.
Here are some symptoms of what the following will fix, and what you most likely have already done to try and fix it.
- iPod keeps freezing after a few seconds ever since you updated to iTunes 7 and/or iPod software ver. 1.2.
- iPod will remain in Do Not Disconnect mode even after ejecting or disconnecting
- A forced reset does not fix it, as it repeats the above.
- Restoring the iPod through iTunes does not help
So, here's what to do.
The old iPod updater software is how you will fix all of this. Unfortunately, because iTunes 7 thinks that it's better and more up to date, it will prevent you from opening the old version of the software if you still have it on your machine.
So first of all, uninstall iTunes 7.0. (You do not have to remove your library information, just the software.) Restart the computer.
If you still have the old iPod updater, try it and see if it runs. If it does, read on. If not, skip to the next paragraph. So, if it does run, simply hit Restore and you can go back to a previous version of the firmware. I believe that Apple discontinued the firmware page since releasing iTunes 7. Look around some search engines like Google if you really want the latest firmware.
Take out the installation CD that came with your iPod. Run it and it should install the old iPod updater along with iTunes 6.x. iTunes 6.x cannot run since iTunes 7 changed your libary's formatting, but that will not be a problem. Run the Restore process in the old updater and it should be alright for you to start loading your stuff on again without problems.
Since iTunes 7 reformatted your libary listing, iTunes 6 will no longer work. However, you can still use it by reinstalling iTunes 7. Just make sure you do the following.
TO KEEP THE SAME THING FROM HAPPENING AGAIN
iTunes 7 is actually alright. It's the updater part of it that will screw up your iPod.
- iTunes 7 will tell you that a new iPod software version is available when you open it.
- Check the "Never Ask Again" box and click Don't Install.
- When you sync your iPod to your computer, NEVER touch the Version section when you're changing your iPod's settings. Everything else is alright to work with.
- Everything will work fine as long as you never update the iPod's software via iTunes, at least until the programmers can fix this issue in a later release or patch.
I hope this helps out a lot of you. Pretty lame of Apple to miss something this big during debugging.
Custom Windows XP

Listen to this person, he knows exactly what he's talking about. My unit had the freezing problem, the visual artifact problem, and eventually would only show a blank white screen after I had tinkered too long. Luckily I have another computer that I hadn't yet upgraded to itunes 7 and it had the last firmware upgrade before the itunes 7 one. From disk mode I was able to restore it to the previous firmware version, and now the ipod works perfectly.
I too am almost disqusted with Apple for 1) missing this problem and 2) not letting people know!
I wonder how many more people are going to have lots of problems so apple can protect their PR.
Anyways, what would be really helpful would be if someone could upgrade the latest firmware installer before itunes 7 (it's an individual ipod updating program, not itunes 6.xx)somewhere on the internet so users could download it and do away with this evil 1.2 firmware.

I m trying to send a email and sms alert using php and it works fine on all systems except on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india. plz help

I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
            $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
            $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
            $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
            $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
            // Additional headers
            $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
            foreach($disemail as $email)
                $to = $email;
                $subject = $succMessage['email_subject'];
                $message = $smsText;
                mail($to,'=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=',$message,$header);
        if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) {
        $smsText = utf8_encode($smsText);

i have tried this new charset combination specifically for iphone and i m waiting for response from sweden alliance.....i hope this works fine as iso works great for 8-bit characters.
would like to have your thoughts though.
$headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";
