I've now seen this issue happen twice on my iPhone this morning - I'm listening to an album (Daughtry) and browsing the web (the Motley Fool) at the same time. Suddenly, the iPhone stops playing the music after about 10 minutes - in the middle of a song. I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere that I'm unaware of, or if this is a bug. Both times seem to have close to when I single tapped on the screen while in Safari - but did not hit a link. Anyone else see anything similar?
This happened to me once, then without restoring or resetting it worked fine. Safari kept working ok, but when I switched to the iPod app, it had "reset", so it's probably what actually "crashed" with this bug.
It is a difficult one to pinpoint, but it does happen. The good thing is iTunes sends crash info, I ask that everyone allows it to do this, it's what Apple most needs right now, to know which are the top issues and be able to fix them. Sync often...
Hey all I have the same problem but also a solution and possible explaination. I believe that the problem stems from having the iPhone for multiple days. When you hit the power button you only put the iPhone in a sleep mode. So, as you continue to use safari your Internet cache continues to fill. This takes up system memory to remember the cache. This may or may not take up to much memory and as a result reduces the phones capability to run two apps. So when you use safari it adds more to the cache and in effect causes the previous program, or the iPod, to crash. By simply powering off completely the cache is cleared so the memory is now empty and ready run safari and the iPod at the same time.
Exactamundo. Don't leave your iPhone running for days at a time without cycling the power and expect it to remain perfectly stable. No mobile device will do that. Cycle the power once in a while and you will not see these crashes and bugs so often!
My tunes crashed while on the browser too, until I started rebooting at least once a week or more (no "hard reset" needed.)
My music stops playing while using Safari. It happened to me at least six times this morning on the way to work! While looking at the Wall Street Journal or CNN home page. When you go back into iTunes, you even have to navigate back to the song. I tried powering down the iPhone BUT after I powered back up, it happened again. I had my iPhone for about three months before this started happening. I will try powering down more often and syncing with iTunes more often.
Apple, please tell us if there's a way to fix it!!! Thanks.
Happened to me today while browsing 2 websites. Only thing I can note that today and this thread, is that this seems to occur during heavy loading websites. While connecting to EDGE, playing music, and browsing a heavy website, the memory seems to crash and give precedence to the web.
