Random apps terminating

Since my iOS 7.03 upgrade have I experienced several random apps just dying on me.
I would be in the middle of Linkedin, Whatsapp, Twitter or Facebook when the application dies.
My iOS 7.03 is seriously sick.
Can someone please advise me what to do?
Thx,
Jack

Are they apps that you've bought/downloaded on another device and do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' on the iPad ?

Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction. I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

Hey Kimwaldal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like the devices are opening things on their own. You may want to follow this article to make sure the screens are working correctly.

Random App Crashes? Is this iOS 6.0.1 issues?

I have an iPod touch 5g and am on iOS 6.0.1 . I sometimes experience built in apps like Camera and the App Store crash for no reason :( Does any else have random apps that keep crashing ? I also restart and reset but the problem later comes back. It doesn't happen like every second but they crash randomly at any time. So is this a bug in iOS 6.0.1? Thanks!

Some app crashing is normal but yours sounds like something is wrong.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can try this as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

HT1688 Random Apps Suddenly Crashing - iPhone 5s 32GB - ios7

I recently got the iPhone 5s - 32GB. I got it last Friday (9/27) and it has been working great until this morning. Random apps are now crashing upon opening. I have tried forcing them to close (after double clicking the home button) and reinstalling them. Nothing seems to work. Examples of apps include FB, caringbridge, Groupon, Poshmark, local news apps, etc.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

Random Apps are downloading on my iPad. Do I have settings incorrect?

I turn on my iPad and random Apps start downloading. No one has had access to my iPad. It has been doing this for a couple of weeks. Do I have something incorrectly set in my settings?

Are they apps that you've bought/downloaded on another device and do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' on the iPad ?

Droid opening random apps

My Droid 2 has started opeing random apps, trying to dial random numbers, and hangs up randomly in the middle of calls. I've taken out the battery and restarted, removed the app killer, been to the VZW store for help and nothing is solving this? Next steps...?

Spaces opening random app from dock

I'm using spaces (9). Different space for different app (iTunes, Mail, etc). When I want to move some file/folder from one space to another one, I grab the file activate spaces (in my right top corner of my screen) move on correct space and press spacebar (it activate the space immediately). At that moment random app from dock is started.
What is wrong? How can I avoid this? It is very annoying.

(oh darn - I am sorry - somehow I got this into the wrong thread... Please ignore)
You might try launchd which takes over many tasks of cron as well as other stuff, and to use it you might try Lingon, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/, although it is now out of development. I used Lingon last year and found it quite useful, whether or no it is happy under SL I do not know. But there are lots of examples on the web about how to set up an agent for launchd and it might provide an alternative.
An iCal event is probably the easiest though, and you can hook in an automator script to make things really exciting.

Droid running random apps

Anyone else have an issue with thier Droid turning on random apps without any reason? I will unlock/open my phone and have news&weather, and amazon, or a multitude of other apps on my phone that just turn themselves on. Apps that i have never even used are sometimes running.
I have an app that can turn them off if i tell it to...but they keep turning back on all by themselves. Its kind of annoying.

If you have the original amazon mp3 that came with your phone, I would suggest you search for and download the update from google market. I know that update helped with my phone to keep that particular app from running.
I do also have a task manager loaded (not task killer) as well, but it doesn't have the auto-kill option. It is a quick way for me to find out what is running without going into the applications list.

Ipad mini crashes, goes black, apple logo comes up then back to the home screen. it happens at random times with random apps

my ipad has been crashing. it will happen at random times with random apps. it will turn black, apple logo appears, then back to the home screen. i have reset it. ive sent it to apple and they couldnt reproduce the problem and they sent it back. it was fine then it happen twice this morning.

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Keeps freezing and opening random apps

So, I got my iphone 5 around February, and now it keeps freezing and opening random apps. Or when I am on the keyboard, it types random things.I have tried "Reset all Settings" and "Erase all Content and settings" without backing up with cloud and NOTHING is working. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, after reading all responses, I must say first of all thank you for keeping this active. It might help more people since I am not the only one with this issue.
What have I done so far? I used the soft reset quite often since it freezes often and the only way to get something out of it is the soft reset. It then takes a little while to reset ( more than once it seems) where the white light with black apple shows up and goes black again, then the home screen, flashes a few times, goes white again..... Black.... Home screen. I noticed that if I just let it do what it does, eventually it will get back to normal..... Until next time. I have emptied the ram, deleted pictures and apps to free space and keep my email accounts low. After all of that I noticed that it still reboots by its own ( suddenly white light w/ apple) and it gets warm on the back ( must be using lots of energy) at least once every day. Even when I think, ok 1 day w/out frozen screen, the light comes on suddenly at night while charging. I also noticed that it even happend once to my iPad ( 2) after updating to 8.3 so I still think it has to do with the recent update to iPhones 5 or older. Dont know if some one has had any problems like that with iPhone 6 or plus.
just wanted to follow up from my end and I think I will just hold on to the next update that hopefully solves the issue. If more ppl have that same problem it might happen soon. So, please keep posting and make the community aware of this so a fix will come soon.. !

Let's say I have my Ipod on 24/7 running a random app and is on the charger, what would the life of the Ipod be?

I have no idea except it should be many years.. However, you should almost fully discharge the battery monthly to maximize the battery life in in the eventwant to use it on the battery.
