My phone freezes, refuses to open some applications some times, switches off and restarts by itself... any idea what the problem is?

I am using iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2). It often switches off and restarts by itself, sometimes it refuses to open certain applications until I switch off and restart it. Sometimes it does not make a call through unless I switch off and restart.
Any idea what the problem could be and any advice to what I should do ?

Hi jallam,
If you are having issues with restarting and apps not launching you may want to try this to troubleshoot.
Since restarting has not helped, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

HT201210 When I go to my contacts function for my phone and do search, or try to edit a contact, my keypad won't come up. It seems to come up on all other apps. Any idea what the problem is?

The keypad doesn't come up on the phone, contacts function. I can't search by typing in a name or edit existing contacts. Keypad works on other functions. Any ideas what is going on?

I'll guess that you are taping into the search bar in Contacts? If so, why not try forcing closed the contacts app. Double tap on the home button and find the contacts app and swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app. Then tap the home button to close. Next hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot and will have no affect on your data. After the phone reboots, check to see if it functions.

Hello Sashalechat,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
Have you changed the router for a new one?
Make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Write me back when you have time.

HT2638 Hi, My Iphoto (on Mavericks) shows me a thumbnail but actually it is another photo whan you open it up...any idea what the problem could be? big thanks!

This has happened since my snow leopard update to be fair. I continuously mess up all of my "events" with photoes that shoul now be there due to this mistake.
Anyone know something about it?
Big thanks in advance

given the time this problem has existed hard to say what the results will be but Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails - this may take several tries

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

I can't believe it!! But this answers my question. I pair up quickly between my iphone5 and iMac, but cannot transfer pics from my iphone to the iMac over Bluetooth as I expeceted I would easily be able to do. After all, I did this with my old Mac and a simple Motorola cell phone years ago.
So, the answer is that file transfer from iphone5 is not supported. Really!!
Not sure why capabilites have regressed, this is disappointing, but thanks for the answer, at least I know to stop beating my head against the wall searching for some hidden box to check. This seemed like such an obvious capability between Apple devices I couldn't understand why I was having such difficulty. It seemed like it would be seamless, but it can't be done. Baffling.

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Had the same problem, the only fault and the reason why it happend is a bad wifi connection!
Could ofc be something else, but thats my two cents!

HT1926 I have a Google Nexus tablet, I downloaded the itunes app but it won't let me open it. Any ideas what my problem could be?

I have. Google Nexus tablet and after I download the iTunes, I cannot open it to use it; any ideas?

There's nothing different, unsual or unreasonable about that. Any computer programme has to be written for the operating system of the device you want to use it on.
I am puzzled though...

HT201442 my phone was in the middle of updating its software and then suddenly switched off and ive tried to reset it but the itunes symbol appears, I've tried to connect it to itunes but it says it needs to be restored as it is on repair mode.

My Iphone4S was in the middle of updating its latest software then suddenly it switched off, it hasnt turned on since and I've tried to reset it but only the apple sign appears then the plug into ittnes symbol. I've tried to plug it into itunes but it says my phone is on repair mode which is why it needs to be restored first in order to connect to itunes. I have also then tried to restore it but the error sign appears.

I bought some ebooks from kobo and they've been in my iPad for some time. Suddenly they've disappeared. Any idea why?

I bought some ebooks from Kobo and all was fine until recently when they began to disappear. Now they are all gone and only the "free" ones remain in the iPad library.
Any ideas on why this would happen?

Hi. My Iphone 4 suddenly is completely off though it is charged. I even made someone else call my number in vain. I've been trying to switch it on, but in vain. First time this problem happened. I have no idea what happened to the phone. it rings correcly in the other line. I just plugged in again with the charger but I dont see any signal. please help if somebody has an idea as I have no clue..Thanks.

Miksu,
Great ideas, thank you. I have two USB cables, both of which I have tried on my computer and my friends. Unless I got two bad cables in a row, I somewhat doubt it is the cause of my problem but it is still possible.
I haven't yet tried any other form of connecting to my PC though I plan to borrow a neighbors Bluetooth USB Dongle tonight if I can and see if that works. I don't think any of my friends have a Nokia that uses the same cable, but I could check that too I guess.
Any other suggestions will still be appreciated as I really doubt that these will solve the problem. On the other hand, you MAY BE RIGHT about my USB port on my phone. It is possible that it could be damaged, though I have used the same port with a headset and that worked. It might be that it was using a different pin configuration though. I also plan to try resetting to factory settings, and flashing/updating the firmware if I can find an authorized service agent of Nokia in my area. My cell provider may be able to help me in that regard, but it would be a couple weeks because they have to wait for a special data cable.
I appreciate all the advice. Any other ideas would still be welcome because I think there have been a few others who have had trouble with my particular model of phone. A funny thing is that my phone model doesn't seem to be listed as compatible with PC Suite, but Nokia told me it was. Hopefully it's just a typo.
