Safari bug on iphone 4s

everytime i load safari and start to manually enter a URL, the cursor freezes/ stalls keeping me from typing more than the first one or two characters....it eventually clears up a seond of two later but this is the only app where i have this text//stuttering problem..no stuttering when entering text in text message fields or google maps, etc, just safari!

I had the same problem on my iPhone & iPad. I tried all minds of things but what finally worked for me was to "Not Synch" bookmarks. I had noticed something weird where I had thousands upon thousands of the same Instapaper link in my bookmarks. Turned off my iCloud synching of bookmarks and selecting delete bookmarks cleared up my problem on both my iPhone and iPad. Not sure but maybe if the bookmark file gets corrupted then it wreaks havoc on Safari.

  • IPad loses Safari connection intermittently. iPhone is fine.  PC has good connection to Internet.  Software is up to date.  Any suggestions?

    IPad loses Safari intermittently.  IPhone is ok.  MS PC connection to Internet is fine. Any suggestions?

    Try # 5>
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone?

    How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone? I accidentally clicked clear cookies and data as well, so everything is basically gone and there are very important stuff that I NEED to recover. I tried to do the settings>safari>adavanced>website data, but nothing worked, because since I cleared cookies as well, everything's just gone.

    You restore the phone using a backup made before you cleared it. If you don't have a backup from when it was present, then it's gone.

  • Why does my safari mobile on iPhone doesnt open Blogger?

    When I start using safari on my iPhone, and try to open my blog www.aasthaak.blogspot.com; it says that "server cannot connect" same happens with any blogger site. God knows why. I tried juggling every setting in the safari but nothing works!
    To my co incidence i was reading http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and I came across the support community on apple.com
    Please help? anyone?
    also, Apple talks about being an open source on mobile devices (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/) so why cannot safari the default browser (which cannot be changed) allows us to share stuff on gmail,facebook etc rather only email the link of this page.
    Opera Mini has a better interface like speed dial and **** and also saves Data upto 72% and helps you measure it, safari is just a fancy thing and mandatory since its default!
    Trick : Type "Tilt" on google serach bar of safari in your iphone - google search, what you see next is just exclusive.

    Works just fine for me. Sounds like you have a network connectivity problem.

    This doesn't even make sense. Maybe you should try reposting in your native language.

  • How do I set up a specific homepage for Safari on my iPhone?

    How do I set up a specific page to be the page that opens every time I open Safari on my iPhone?  I saw that you go to Preferences, but I can't find where that is?  What are the steps from there?  Thanks.

    It actually is the answer to the question. Safari on the iPhone is not designed to allow for the setting of a home page. The only method to do it is what the last posted told you. That is how iOS handles the setting of a page, other than a bookmark in Safari. If you have a particular page you want to always open to in Safari, use the method described above which sets a shortcut on the home screen that you use instead of the regular Safari icon to start Safari.
    It could be considered a workaround, depending on how you view it.

  • Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

    i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
    is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
    or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

    Hi teethandbones,
    There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
    Just a thought!

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • How to use standard yahoo mail in Safari on my iPhone?

    I try to get my mail through safari on my iphone using regular web-based yahoo mail. After I sign in, there is a toolbar at the bottom that has buttons like delete, compose mail etc. It was not there in the first place but I don't know what I pressed and it showed up. Is there any way to hide that toolbar?
    Message was edited by: sturtle

    Why would you want to use web based Yahoo mail when the iPhone supports Yahoo mail in the native mail client, even if it's not a premium account?
    Just set up your yahoo account in Mail.
