Phone is freezing a lot

Ok my phone has been freezing a lot. If I shut it off and turn it back on, it seems fine until it does it again. More of an annoyance than an actual problem, but what's the deal? I also posted another topic yesterday about it taking forever to get my yahoo mail lately. I don't know if this is yahoo or my phone?
I restored it last night with much trouble (more my piece of #$%@ HP laptop than the phone's problem!) and it still seems to be having the same issues.
Frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes? Short of throwing the phone in the lake? Or driving to Oakbrook to visit with a mac genius?

I'll assume at the start that you have not jailbroken or hacked your phone, have not added applications (other than webapps). If my assumption is wrong then that is where your problem is.
For unhacked phones the usual cause of this is bad data that has gotten into one or more applications (usually mail or Safari). So first step is to clear Safari data. In Settings/Safari clear cookies, history and cache. Then reboot the phone (Hold HOME and SLEEP for about 8 seconds, until the logo appears; ignore the "Slide to turn off" prompt and keep holding).
Try using the phone for a while without using the Mail app. If you don't have the problem try launching Mail. Again see if the problem returns. If it doesn't you've fixed it. If it returns only after using the Mail app you need to do a Restore, and do not reload backup data. This should fix it, but you will lose and photos in the camera roll, SMS messages, and settings.
If it still shows the problem you most likely have a hardware problem; call or take it to an Apple store for further diagnosis.

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

  • Phone messing up and freezing a lot

    Ive noticed that lately my phone has been tweaking out and freezing a lot. For example sometimes when i slide to unlock, the screen flashes then goes white then i have to hit the standby button again and repeat it. Also sometimes the phone doesnt pick up my presses like ill hit end call and it wont end it ill keep hitting end i can see the button being pressed but it still wont end. I was wondering if i need to just get a new one.

    First: Try resetting it. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 8 seconds (after the OFF slider appears).
    If that doesn't fix it, try a Restore using iTunes.
    Next, try a Recovery: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
    If none of these fix it call Apple iPhone support or take it to an Apple store Genius Bar (make an appointment first at www.apple.com/retail)

  • Phone keeps freezing.

    I LOVE my Droid X.  However, my phone started freezing occasionally.  I had to remove the battery and reboot almost every time.  Verizon tech said it wasn't a known issue.  They sent me a temporary "replacement" (that means used) phone while I wait for the new one to ship.  I got it last night and this one is doing the same thing.  In addition, this one keeps rebooting itself.  It is very strange.  I don't think it's anything I'm doing because I've never had any problem like this with other phones.  Most of the time I'm just making a call or listening to music.  One time I was just entering my contacts.  That time I got the "blue screen of death" and didn't think it was going to live.  Has anyone else had this trouble?  I keep thinking maybe it really is a defect in some of the phones.  Thanks.

    I have yet to install a Task Killer and I have yet to feel like I need one.  My phone has never slowed down or frozen.  I do periodically check (like once or twice a day) the open applications manually to see if someone is running that I don't want and one time Pandora was still running even though I wasn't using it anymore - so I closed it.  Even then, it wasn't slow or anything.
    My co-worker with a Droid Incredible uses ATK and constantly complains about it freezing or slowing down.  I told her I didn't install it and that a lot of people online say they are unnecessary and she told me the Verizon rep installed it on her phone in the store and told her she needed it.
    Shame.  She was going to uninstall ATK and see how it does.  I have yet to see her this morning to see if there has been any change, but I'll post back once I see her.

  • My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

    My phone keeps freezing and I have the 5s and now it won't turn on but I can talk to sir

    If you can talk to Siri, but the screen is not turning on, try the 2 button reset.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (Power) Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that doesn't make you screen come back on, you can try restoring your iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

    I have changed my Iphone once last year. My iphone has being playing up for the best part of 6 months. It Keeps deleting all my music of the phone. it freezes and will not allow me to turn it on or off. if i am in the middle of an app it will randomly shut it down and turn the phone off totally (even if it is charged.) It will not charge properly, it has to be in a exact position to charge and even then go's off and on. I thought this my be my charger but the charger works fine on another phone. it will not allow texts to come through properly and sometimes will not not let me ring people it just freezes and i have to turn it off and on a couple of times in order for it to work. it will not let me update apps and the silent button is not silent it still go's of on ringer.The keyboard will freeze up not allowing me to type anything.  It wants me to pay £126.44 for it to be repaire when i have nothing to do with why its not working!

    That is correct.
    That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

  • Loading the latest OS on my iPhone4 caused the phone to freeze. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone. Any help will be appreciated

    Loading the latest OS on my Iphone 4 caused the phone to freeze and stop working. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone.

    Did you already try these suggestions?
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes a lot

    I am using LR2.6 with a catalog of about 39000 pictures, on a 64-bit W7 machine with 12g memory.  I keep everything in DNG, and export to JPG as needed.  The catalog keeps freezing up, and won't let me do anything, sometimes for several minutes at a time.  It opens again and is ok for a little while and then it freezes again, sometimes with one or more white panels and a notification that "Lightroom has stopped responding."  Sometimes it will go a long time without that happening, other times it is every few seconds.

    I think part of the key is to optimize the catalog regularly every couple of days.
    Whatever the magic is, somehow the problem seems to have disappeared in
    my workflow.  I have a catalog of 40,000 DNG pictures, a W7 64-bit, 12g
    RAM, quad core and tons of internal and external HD space.  I have three
    LaCie 2TB external drives, on USB, one of which contains all the DNG
    files in my catalog.  I backup  and optimize the catalog
    every few days, which I guess must be the key to something.  Other than
    that, I cannot think of anything I am doing that is much different from
    what I have always done, but somehow things are working smoothly at the
    moment.  Knock wood.  I hope things improve for you as they did for me,
    but there are still plenty of mysteries.  Maybe Adobe will sneak in some
    fixes in their updates (without ever admitting that there were
    significant problems in the first place!) and things will keep getting
    better.

    Subject: Lightroom 2.6 freezes a lot
    I am having a very similar issue with very similar computer.  50,000 images in catalog,  i7 920 cpu, 12GB ram, Windows 7 x64.
    LR is freezing all the time between 5 and 50 minutes of use.  driving me nuts!
    I thought I had some bad RAM so I ran memtest86+ for 24hrs and it checked out OK.
    I thought it was my RAID array so i ran integrity checks and it came out OK.
    I went back to thinking it was RAM and removed all but 2 sticks and tried to re-import my images (thinking maybe also corrupt catalog) and it would freeze at around 11000 images.  Swapped RAM for another pair and it happened again.
    Then I thought it was a memory leak in LR2.6 so I put all my RAM back and re-imported my images and it was successful and has been running for 3 days straight with no freezes.
    so all i think I did was change the order of the RAM (and re-seat it)
    Anyone figure out what the actual cause and resolution is?
