Phone freezing up

Every since the 4.2.2 update my phone will randomly freeze up and I have to do a battery pull to restart it. never had to do this till the update and my Bluetooth power last half as long as before. it is as though it never disconnects when not in use.

I have that same problem. In a little over a month, it's froze 10+ times. Using it as an alarm clock, it's frozen over night twice and my alarm hasn't gone off and was late for work. I took it to a Verizon store in Michigan and they said there is nothing they could do because Verizon doesn't recognize it as a problem yet. After moving to Virginia, I went to a store in Richmond and they said the same thing. They may be able to switch it out but that would just give me the same phone and problems. This doesn't help me because I have a corporate phone and don't have a choice to change anything. Asked the IT at work and they can't do anything until my phone upgrade at the end of November.
I have been doing random things when it freezes. I've been talking on the phone, charging or not charging. or while opening an app. The little clock on the notification line will actually be different from large clock on the lock out screen. I can't unlock it. It will say it's charging with the % but the little battery won't have the lightning bolt in it. I've pulled the battery out countless times. I've even done a factory reset and that still hasn't helped. Verizon hasn't been much help either. I can't wait to get rid of this phone. Or at least get some type of help (which seems highly unlikely).

HT4623 My apps and my phone freeze up and go back to the locked screen what can I do?

My apps and my phone freeze up during use and go back to the locked screen. What can I do?

Hi theora,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

It appears that I have the same problem with my IPhone 5 as many others. After I installed IOS 7 my phone freezes up constantly.

I bought the IPhone 5 a few months ago and realized that the phone signal is much weaker than my Iphone 4s. I work way out in the country running heavy equiptment and working cattle most the time by my self. I really need a phone for potential emergencies. I went into the ATT store where I bought it and they told me there is nothing I could do. It had been 2-3 weeks since I bought it so I was stuck with it. Now it has been a few months and I am basicly without a phone when I am at the farm.
The first couple of times I went to the store to complain they told me the last time that a tower was going into operation soon near my farm. I tried to do a search on that and even called ATT and they wont confirm one way or the other as to the tower. I have owned IPhones every since they came out and have been happy with them.
Now a couple of weeks I installed the IOS 7 update and now the phone freezes up all the time. I have have had a plumbing business for 30 years in
Victoria, Tx and I intend to tell everyone I know not to buy apple. They have lied and manipulated me into keeping this phone past the time I can return it.
And I cant use it where I need it most. I called ATT about the freezing and they told me to do a complete backup and restore. That did not do anything except waste a lot of my valuable time and make my life miserable trying to get everything back to the way that I like it.
I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and just buy another phone because I am locked into a contract for the next two years.
Very dissapointed with Apple and cant wait to be done with them.

The music continued to play with the iPod?
If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

Every time I open my emails, my phone freezes so I can't do anything, it lasts around 10 minutes, does anyone know how to solve this?

TS2755 why wont my iphone let me delete messages? my phone freezes and then all the messages i deleted reappear.

i have tried deleting my messages 3 times and everytime they go away but m phone freezes so i turn it off. But when i turn it back on all the messages i have deleted reappear. Also i have not gotten several texts that people have sent me.

Hi Amitt_s,
After you restored it to factory settings, did you restore as new or from a backup? If it was from a backup, I'd try restoring as new to see if, without any of your previous data, the issue persists:

N73 phone freeze problem

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone could help me out.
My phone was working fine before..But suddenly one night,when I tried to dial a number, the screen freeze. I had to take off the battery then restarted again. At first, I could turned it off, but after 30sec, the screen blink onece and freeze and the screen became all black and turned off. Now, when I turn on the screen, only the word"NOKIA" appears, then the phone freeze. and I have to take off the battery to turn it off.
Does anyone know what problem is it? Hardware?Software?Firmware?
I would be reaaly appreciated if anyone could help me out...
Thanks guys...

you could try if a hard reset works
press and hold "green phone" +(3) +(*) and when they are pushed in press th "ON" button. i think this is the correct way
the phone should be turned of
This will reset all in phone so everything save in phone will get deleted. But as it seems you wont be able to save any information no matter how you do it.
If this dont work i guess that a Service point is your chance

In incoming calls phone freezes and reboots

Hi
I got my Jelly Bean 4.1 update and whenever there is an incoming call, my Galaxy Nexus phone freezes and reboots when the caller ends the call. Is this a known issue? What can I do to have this issue fixed.
Thank you

Got it fixed. Remove the 4G card out and put it back after ten seconds fixed the issue.
Thanks.

IOS 7....dial pad my phone freezes, have to exit out five times same with e mail at times

iOS 7....when I want to use the dial pad my phone freezes up then won't allow me to go back to recent calls, I have to exit out of it four to five times before it works super slow...and same with e mail at times. Why is this?? And also with the calendar, is there a way I can see what I have on the day without having to scroll all the way through the day??

I'm sory but you can't downgrade to iOS 7.0.x
the only thing you can do is a DFU reset and reinstall iOS 7.1.1
I hope you backed up your iphone before, in the event you don't wanna lose you documents.
Try and let we know

Phone freezes up while trying to download anything greater than 600 KB?

I do frequent web searches for info for my son for school and when trying to dowlnload anything greater than approx 600 KB the phone freezes after dowloading 90-95% and I need to reboot. For example was downloading something that was 881 KB and it froze at 878. Have good reception and XEV is what I am receiving on. Are there any solutions to this problem or am I just trying to do too much. There are no graphics involved just text. Thanks

First things first. Let us see how much free space - also called available "storage" - you have on your hard disk.
From the Apple menu select "About This Mac", then click on "More info", then click on "Storage" (at the top of the little window). It should tell you "xxx free out of yyy", that's how much free space you have. There is also a cute graphical depiction of how your storage is being used. Could you report on that please?
charlie
P.S. In Activity Monitor it sounds like you were examining how much RAM - also called "memory" - is being used. This is different from "storage" which is what is relevant to installing stuff. (Files, photos, applications, etc. are stored in "storage". The computer takes them out of storage and puts them in memory when it wants to use them.)

My messages take up 5.2 gb of storage! When i delete all of my conversations, my phone freezes, i restart and they are ALL back.

How can i just delete all of my messages for good without my phone freezing and bringing them back?

Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

Take out the battery when the phone freezes. Cause...

Hi all.
I have a question. Lets tell that my/a phone freezed. If i/someone take out the battery(without turn off the phone, because it can't turn off) , cause any problem to phone? I have done it untill now, about 5-6 times (i have the N82, about 7 months)
If you want to thank someone, just click on the blue star at the bottom of their post

I suspect it does cause problems but I also do the same thing if it hangs and doesn't go off. I ususally give it about 2 minutes to reboot, if it doesn't after the two minutes I take the battery out.
your only other alternative is to wait unjtill the battery dies but that scares me because when my phone freezes the backlight get's VERY BRIGHT and I don't know what other damage that could be causing so I'll live with taking the battery out
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
Any sugestion? Thanks!

Was this phone ever jalbroken?
If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix. Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA. Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

HELP ..N8..Phone freezes and will not turn off

Help me !!!!!!!!
Phone freezes and will not turn off ........ It still calling HELPPPPPPPP......
What can or should I do.....
Reply asap..... It's calling about 4 hours now........... I can hear any nokia tunes anymore !!!!
HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hmmm, I am not sure if there is another way. Since the battery is not removable for users and the 8 second -3 buzzes press don't work, I don't think there are another way to get it off.
Try connect the charger to it and do the 8 second press again, if not I think you will have to either let the battery run out untill it turns off it self or take it to a Nokia care point.

When I try to open the wifi section in settings my phone freezes

Every time I try to open the wi-fi section in settings my phone freezes. I can still push the home button and go home but I can't select any networks, no networks show up, I can't push the back to settings button and I can't turn wi-fi off. The settings app eventually closes after this.

Sounds like a system crash when it tries to acess a specific peice of hardware. Try this, Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't work, Try this--> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 Set it up as new(Even though you made a backup) And see if you are still having the issue.
If you are not having the issue, Then Restore your backup onto the device.
