IPhone goes to home screen while surfing

while in safari surfing, my iPhone auto goes to home screen. What's the problem? It is a pain while composing emails or even this MSG as it usually causes me to have to log back in and start over

When it goes back to the home screen that means the application has crashed. Try going to settings - safari and empty caches/cookies/etc to see if this will correct the issue.

  • TS3274 iPad screen goes to home screen while i am searching on the Internet

    Can anyone tell me why my iPad will go to the home screen while I'm using the Internet to search for things? It will happen within a few seconds, and I then click on safari n my page reopens to where I was.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Still happen quit Safari like this.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    Then delete the safari cache and history in Settings. Hopefully then the problem will be corrected.

  • Several times over the last few days while on safari my iPad spontaneously shuts off screen goes dark then goes to home screen what's going on and how do I fix it when I look at settings diagnostics it says that there is low memory ?

    Safari crashes several times while on pinterest, screen goes black then goes to home screen when I start safari again it keeps doing the same thing.  I checked the diagnostics page and there are several references stating low memory yet when I check the memory on the iPad there is plenty of memory  help please

    The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space.  Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar.  You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list.  Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory.  Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
    Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
    Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
    You can also get a similar result by rebooting.  Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

  • TS1538 When surfing or working on my iPad mini, frequently my applications close and it goes the home screen.

    When surfing or working on my iPad mini, frequently my applications close and it goes the home screen.  This problem started about a week ago.  I did do a hard reset.

    Make sure you do not leave a lot of apps open in the iOS multitasking bar.
    Dbl click the Home button, look to see now many apps that are still active in the multitask bar.
    You can safely quit some of these by holding your finger on one app until all the icons wiggle.
    Tap the red dash in the upper left corner to quit each app from running. Then just tap anywhere else on the iPad's screen or single click the Home button to stop the wiggling and close the Multitask bar.
    Good Luck!

  • Text vanishes midway typing in mail/text/notes and it goes to home screen.

    Text vanishes midway typing in mail/text/notes after uptading iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.1, and it goes to home screen.

    Thanks, I just tried that, no luck. I had already tried regular power off and reboot. It just goes off randomly, sometimes after just one word or if I am lucky I am able send out a short message before it goes off. It goes off typing in any of the apps.

  • How can I switch between apps without going to home screen?

    Is there anyway to switch between apps with one tap? (ie. without going to home screen first). Kind of like a command-tab feature.

    Well, you can have one app that you can get to with a double push of the home button (set in settings which you want), but I think it's only your contacts list, or your ipod app. Still useful though.

  • My ipod touch ( Gen 4 ) goes to home screen when loading a app, and sometimes in the middle of the app. Any ideas how to fix this? One game won't load at all now. Thanks in advance for the help..

    I have had this touch for almost a year. It suddenly starts going to home screen in middle of app, or when loading the app. Contract Killers has worked fine since I dowloaded it, but is not loading at all now. If I restore, will I be able to get my progress back from the backup?

    Reset did not work. Just completed the restore, seems to have fixed the other apps from going back to the home page, but not Contract Killer.. I assume it is now a error on Glu's part. Hopefully they will resolve the issue. Thank you so much for your response.

  • I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

  • Safari goes to home screen as soon as i attempt to put in website since update

    Please advise any fixes, as soon as i go to safari and enter a search it goes to home screen but frequently viewed sites still works.

    Hi there rrfaff,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • My camera just rotates then goes to home screen

    my camera just rotates then goes to home screen. how can i stop it?

        Thanks for reaching out to us, patti3cats. I depend on my camera on my cell phone for everything. Are you using the normal camera app that came with the phone? Or are you using a 3rd party application? How long has this been going on for? Have you been able to power the device off for a few minutes and then power it back on? Also, do you get any kind of errors when the phone takes you back to the main screen? Please keep me posted.
