Q: iPhone 6 freezing after iOS 9 update

Hi,

 

i am experiencing something extremely weird. after updating my wife's iPhone 6 the phone would work for a bit but then stop responding completely and freeze. surprisingly my IPhone 6 is working perfectly after the update and both the phones are identical and we use the same Apple ID on both for apps etc. immediate help is needed. The phone works for a bit after restarting and freezes after a while and stops responding. it has become extremely frustrating.

iPhone 6, iOS 9, 64GB

    Problems solved.

     

    my iPhone 6 has no more issues.

    my iPad Air 2 has no more issues - but I lost all of my books and notes on iAnnotate. I had to manually transfer all of my PDF textbooks from my Mac Book Pro using Air Drop which did not have any of the edits from reading/studying these on my iPad these past 6 months. Very disappointing.

     

    Here is how I resolved everything:

     

    In General Settings:

    turned off "Handoff and Suggested Apps"

    turned off "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync"

     

    In Privacy:

    turned off "Location Services"

     

    in iCloud:

    Turned off "iCloud Drive"

    Turned off "Photos"

    Turned off "Backup"

    Turned off "Keychain"

    Turned off "Find my iPad"

     

    I left on: "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Safari and Notes"

     

    in App & iTunes Stores:

    Turned off "Automatic Downloads" for everything

     

    in "News" App: Off

     

    In essence, I had to tell my iPad to stop connecting and searching for Apple's iCloud features that are supposedly built to "help me", but in actuality are meant for Apple to collect my data to sell and market to me.  Just like Windows, they are not happy we bought their devices: they want more of our money. Greedy buggers.

     

    my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 do everything manually via USB Cable when I feel like doing them and only when I push them.  I am in control of my devices again, the ones I shelled out mucho bucks. They are my devices, Apple. I bought them. Keep your paws off of them

    After "updating" to 9.0.1 my phone is no better off and have shut down everything that wjdcr describes above.  The phone still freezes, though not as much. I'm really disappointed with Apple at the moment.

     

    Anyone reading this who haven't  "updated" to iOS 9, a word of advice:  DON'T.  Just don't.

     

    Fix this **** Apple.  I've about had enough.

    Hello, same thing happened to me.I updated to the new iOS and my phone has been freezing on and off and just randomly restarts.. mostly at night until last night... the screen went black as I was listening to music and the phone has not been able to do ANYTHING since!! Does not register when I try to force restart, does not register when I plug it in to charge, does not register when I plug it in to iTunes. It is completely FRIED! Im about to take it to the apple store and raise havoc! This is ridiculous!!!!!

    Hello !

     

    I think that I resolved my issue after I turned off the "Handoff" option.

     

    • Settings ->  General  -> Handoff & Suggested Apps
    • Turn off both "Handoff" and "Installed Apps".

     

    I will let you know if it works during the rest of the week.

     

    Regards

    I got help from Apple Support, but the only solution that worked was doing a factory reset on the phone. I lost all of my prefs and local data, but it worked. Haven't experienced further issues.

    I did it !  I reset my phone but I didn't work for me.

     

    So, I turned off some services in order to resolve the issue.

    My Iphone 6 plus 64 gig has been completely unusable since upgrading to 9.0.1. Screen just randomly locks up and I can't even receive phone calls. So incredibly frustrating.

    Hi

    Go to settings Restore back to Factory Settings

    Do this over your WiFi this will get rid of any bugs .

    Set back up over your WiFi .

    Use same Apple ID  to get your apps /data back .

    Cheers

    Hi Guys

    I had the same issue with my iphone6 64Gb.

    Fortunately Apple has released a newer 9.0.2 version, which in case you can't use "settings" option in your phone because of screen freeze issue, connect the same to your laptop & upgrade to the latest version via itunes. Hope this should help.

    Cheers

    Yikes! I hope it doesn't come to that. I agree with the "stop marketing me" sentiment but rely on iCloud backups. I'm not at one desk or even one location for hours so without auto backups my life would be spent constantly manually backing up. Thanks for the suggestions though. Until Apple gets this fixed it's better than what I had which was a pretty expensive brick.
