iOS4 settings crash

A problem: while in Airplane mode and attempting to access Settings I would get a 'blank' setting screen, or at least couldn't access WiFi tab.

I then did a hard reset and no longer have this problem.

I have same issues. iPhone 3G upgraded to iOS4 crashes when general setting is selected or when certain email accounts' settings are selected.

I have the same crash but the suggested solution does not work and my setting application crashes when trying to access the "General" section. All other sections work fine.

same here, iPhone 3G

Same problem for me from a iPhone 3GS. gmail account settings work fine, but exchange mail is blank. When I try to go into settings and select that account, settings app crashes and I'm back to the home screen.

Tried a few poweroffs / resets, no luck.

I also reset my iPhone back to factory settings, setting's work then but it doesnt work after I restore from the update.

Same problem, with anything related to the passcode. Sometimes it even errors out just entering the General Preferences tab. I can't even set the passcode through MobileMe, which you are supposed to be able to do with iOS 4. It just gives an unspecified error, and tells me to try again later. I can still send messages to the phone through MobileMe, so they are talking.

I have attached my crash log:

Also attempting to add system settings to the OS fail.

“Cannot Install Profile. Safari could not install a profile due to an unknown error”

I updated my 3G this morning and the only error so far is the inability to access general settings. The application crashes and returns me to the home screen.

No amount of hard resetting helps. Clearly a bug with so many identical complaints.

Over to you Apple.

Solution found!

Restore iPhone in DFU mode and then restore as new iPhone; NOT restore from last sync!

Works fine now.

Godspeed!

Same problem for me...when I reseted to factory settings it works fine, but after try to restore my backup, the problem came back I can't access general settings option.
The problem of reset to New iPhone is lose all content...
Please APPLE, could you please help us, of corse it's a Bug...

What I've done that got it out of the Apple symbol/Apple updating bar loop was restarted my computer and unplugged the USB, then when my computer restarted, I plugged my iPhone back in and held down the home and power buttons until the apple symbol appeared. When that appeared I just held down the home screen button until the icon saying to connect my phone to iTunes appeared; putting it in recovery mode. It's now back on and activating/restoring from my back up, and seems to be working properly.

Hope this helps!

This fixed the problem. Shame I had to rebuild all the content, configuration, changes etc. Not the most customer-friendly of solutions.

Same problem here with the iOS4 released June 21, 2010 on a 3G iPhone. General settings crashes back to the launcher every time it's pushed.
