Text freezing up

My text stopped working last night. Phone is working fully.
When I go to my text button screen freezes for a second or two then opens. And freezes once again. This time it freezes for three or four seconds then screen flashes and returns to home screen.
I have already turned my phone on and off. I have Also reset my phone twice. I have yet to restore my iPhone in danger of losing content.
I have not upgraded to 2.1 (Or whatever latest update is - one update under. I have the original iPhone. Can anyone help me out?

Matt2458,
You could try resetting all settings if you haven't already. This option is located under Settings >General > Reset.
If that doesn't do the trick, it sounds likely you would want to restore your iPhone, setting it up as a new iPhone. Before doing so just be sure to sync your contacts, calendars, camera roll photos, and transfer purchases to your computer. Essentially, you just want to make a back up of your data.
More information on the restore process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Swipe down to answer text freezes

the feature to swipe down and reply to text freezes me out from typing.

Hi, mila767.
Just like what viewfelt has posted, as a default function of the phone this can't be changed.

Highlighting Text Freezes OS9

When I highlight text in Quark or Simple Text in OS9, many times before I get to the end of the line, the computer freezes. Both Quark and Simple Text have been assigned much more memory than they need. I've run the system thru Disk Doctor and rebuilt the desktop and it still freezes when I highlight. Any suggestions?
Thanks from Gina

Have you tried starting up with just the apple basic extensions? To see if there could be an extension conflict.
The only other thing that I could think of is it always the same font? Does it do it with other fonts? Possibly a corrupted font.
I am not familiar with this problem, but that would be a couple of ways to trouble shoot.

Is this a known bug (copying text freezes up APE)?

I have had this happen to me several times now, and am now pretty sure what causes it:
APE freezes up, becoming totally unresponsive. I can't even shut it down (both Organizer and Editor) via Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete).
What gets me to this juncture? When I try to rename an image, and have a series with the same base name (such as GoingOverNiagaraFallsInaBarrelOfMonkeys, as in:
GoingOverNiagaraFallsInaBarrelOfMonkeys1
GoingOverNiagaraFallsInaBarrelOfMonkeys2
etc.
...and I copy the "base" portion via Ctrl+C -- voila! Everything stops dead in its tracks as if a 900-lb. Grizzly Bear in a bad humor swatted my CPU.
Is this a known bug?

when I select all the text in a description (FIle | Info, Description text box on first tab) and copy it, it freezes up (eventually it recovers, though).
I can't reproduce that with my PSE 8. Perhaps there's something specific about one or more of your photos that's triggering the problem -- attach one of the problem photos to your reply (use the Web form, not email), and I'll see if happens with my PSE 8.

Texting freeze

When texting, I can type about 10 characters and then it freezes and returns to the home screen. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

This sounds like classic software corruption of some sort. I would power you device down by double tapping your home button and you will see a row of icons show up on the bottom of your screen. Tap and hold one of the icons until they all start to giggle then let go and you see a red circle with at white "-" sign. Tap the white "-" sign on all of the apps on the bottom row until they are all closed, then tap the Home button one time to make the other apps stop giggling. Once you have don that, hold down the Sleep/Wake button (on the top of your unit) until you see the the slider to power down your unit appear on the screen. Slide the slider to power your unit down. Once the unit has been powered down for at least 60 seconds, power it back on.
This should solve your issue.

Typing text freezes Safari

My husband and I each have our own user accounts on our MacBook and mine is working normally. His, however, in the last two days when he types any text in Safari on almost any web page it freezes Safari forcing him to force quit. It doesn't happen when logging into Yahoo email or library web sites, but seems to on any other field. He can also use the google search on the address bar. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Problems with Safari specific to one user account narrows the possibilities of what is occurring.
Might be a Font issue at play. Download a copy of Font Finagler. This will allow you to clean the Font cache. Try Safari again. If this does not help, I'd look at specific Safari folders/files:
First via the Finder>Home>Library: move the com.apple.safari.plist file found via the Finder>User Library>Preferences folder to the desktop and restart Safari. If Safari is stable, you'll need to reset your custom preferences in Safari, as well as any special settings in the Edit (spelling) or View menu (custom icons, status bar, etc.) If no change, move the file back to its original location, replacing the newly created file.
If the above doesn't work, go to the User Library>Caches>Safari and move that file to the desktop. Same routine as the previous step (restart Safari, etc). If no go, move the folder back etc.
Next, move to the desktop the Safari folder (which holds bookmarks, history, etc), and restart Safari. This folder is found in the same User Library accessed for the preference file. Restart Safari. If no relief, move the folder back, replacing the newly created one. If it does work, then you'll need to move one file at a time back to its original location, restarting Safari each time to isolate the problem file. When Safari crashes, you found the culprit.
If the above doesn't work, go to the User Library>Caches>Safari and move that file to the desktop. Same routine as the previous step (restart Safari, etc). If no go, move the folder back etc.

I call the dialog like that:

                              selectedStation, network);
          // show the dialog for renaming
          d.setVisible(true);

I have the same problem (and struggle with it!). A JOptionPane.showInputDialog that works with jdk1.3 suddenly freezes my application when run with 1.4. Funny thing is, other calls to JOptionPane.showInputDialog work perfectly fine... Hm...
I haven't found any solution for it, though. I tried compiling with jdk1.3 and then running with jdk1.4, but the problem persists. But as I said, running it with jdk1.3 does not cause the application to hang.
Sorry to be of no help. Hope someone else knows a workaround!

6500 Slide Text Freeze

Hi all,
I'm getting a problem with my 6500 slide, whereby the 2 blue buttons below the screen (the ones for options and clear/exit) just stop responding when I write a text message.
There doesn't seem to be any common factor that causes it, the only way i've found to get the buttons to work again is by closing and then re-opening the slide - this works 95% of the time.
I held on for the update, and put on v4.81 when it was release but still have the same issue.
Anyone else had this problem and found a resolution?
Thanks
Rob

Probably a hardware fault, I think you should take it to a Nokia Care Point. Repair will be free if your device is under warranty.

Trouble deleting text messages

Hi! When I delete old text messages, all my other texts "freeze up" and I don't receive any new texts. I have to restart my phone. After the restart, I receive any new texts and all my "deleted" texts are back. I went to the AT & T store, I was told I had to do something in iTunes, but they were basically no help at all.
Can someone please, please help me! Thank you!!

Howdy danired2006,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue with the Messages app on your iPhone which wasn’t resolved by restarting the device. If you haven’t already, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as shown in the article linked below.

Text not looking good

Hi I have just done some credits in motion which I have used in Final cut using the scroll behaviour but the letters look as if they had glitter,they sometimes flash slightly.
I have used white letters against a black background and the only thing that i have altered is the rate of the scroll to 30%
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the glitter effect??
thanks
Danny

Hi guys,thanks a lot,that really helped!!
As you say the scrolling text in motion distorts giving a flashing effect.
I have copied and pasted the text from motion into livetype and of what I can see the problem is solved so thanks a million.
The problem which I have right now is that since its my first time using live type I have the problem that I dont get the whole text scrolling until end.Instead the text freezes half way through.
I have looked through the help and manual topics but cant find anything.
I suppose it has somethhing to do with the timing but cant figure it out.
I would like the text to appear from below the screen and dissapear at the top of the screen just like the end credits of movies.
Can anyone help??
Thanks again
Danny

Ios7/sync/itunes/texting issues

So I had the ios7/itunes/can't sync issue, and someone offered a solution of erasing my itunes memory completely, which worked, but A)Only some of my music selections uploaded completely and B)More critically, my texting freezes after I type 3 characters.

Oh, please help, thanks.

Freeze an behavior

Can I freeze an behavior in the middle for a while ?
Fox example, scroll text, freeze it to make the final paragraph stopped on the screen.
Many thx

Yes.
this can be done simply by using the Scroll text Behavior
with Speed Control set to 'fixed'
and using duplicates of the behavior for each time you
would like the text to begin moving again
(the first behavior would have 'start off screen' checked and the rest would not.)
you should be able to work it out by taking a look at this .motn file I've
thrown together as an example: http://files.me.com/lucidmotion/tdb07d
This is one way to do it.
you could also use a move behavior with a custom parameter controlling
the starts and stops with keyframes and you could tweak the curves of these
keyframes if you wanted more control over the ease in and out when the text starts and stops.
Hope I have explained some options clearly enough, I'm sure others can possibly
explain better if you are still stuck.

N86 messaging screen freeze Part 2

I spoke too soon. Saving my mesages in E:mass memory han't helped my attempted texts freezing the phone. Somtime it seems OK, but others it freezes.
My photos are saved to my SD card. I'm not using the internet on it - I wanted it for the camera. I don't know if that is relevant.
I'm on software version 20.115. It doesn't say in SW updates that 30.009 is there anyway for me to download. I have a MAC (nad m not usin the internet on the phone )so it won't be easy to update software.
What else can I try?
P.S. Glitch in trying to log on too!!

Unfortunately you may have to do a soft reset !! Back up your contacts, calendar and notes (NOTHING ELSE as it may be your current settings that are causing the problem) your phone will be set to 'out of the box' but you will have to set it up again and anything on C will be lost, but nothing on your memory card will be affected. Dial *#7370# followed by 12345 and the phone will reset and re-boot. Then restore your contacts etc and set up the phone, you should then be OK.
