iphone keeps rebooting after ios 5 upgrade

My iPhone 3Gs 32gb keeps rebooting every 5 - 10 minutes after upgrading to the final version of ios5 that was released. When I try "restore" from itunes (when I am able to keep the phone on long enough that is) I get an error (1645).


Thank you in advance for any help, my iphone is pretty much useless until this is resolved!

iPhone 3GS, iOS 5

I just ereased all my contents and settings since nothing else seemed to work. It's fixed now but I have a feeling it might be an app that is making it crash so I'm not sure what i'm going to do about that considering I have no idea which one.

Same thing happened to me.. I HATE IPHONE. From the first day, they always rushed launching out new stuff w/o having enough stability tests.. Yet, thousands of people suffer at your iphones.. I know you are doing great things but YOUR PRODUCT CIRCLE IS NOT COMPLETE THIS WAY. No matter what, I'll give a chance to your competators and quit iphone asap!

Yeah, same issue here, this *****, glad I'm out of contract. I will simply move to Samsung (the iphone that works...😁... hey they make most of the parts! )

Found you cannot formally notify apple of any of these issues, unless you want to PAY them for messing up your iphone with mandatory updates, of course.

Rather than rebuild, I've found it easier just to reset it (home and off key) wait a little while - 10 minutes? (if you do not it simply resumes whatever process is HUNG) . Then turn it back on, stupid thing comes back and smiles at you as if nothing happend.. Grrrrr.


Looking on ebay web shops now for a galaxy II.


Interesting, I let it alone once (I get an apple logo), with the charger plugged in, I checked it an hour later and it was HOT, its stuck in a processor loop/deadly embrace. They're obviously still having trouble with multiprocessing. Silly of me to expect a Apple to be able to do something minix was doing 10 years ago heheheheh, go back to your iPODS apple, at least theres not much to mess up with that one. (anyone remember the iRiver, Iwonder?)

so i had to restore my iphone (follow my previous post). while restoring, i removed many of the apps I'm not using. From then on, i have no problem of anything. Of course, i didn't update to 5.01 -> NO WAY. I hope iphone's software milestones will be something like windows 7.. they had us pull our hairs A LOT, but with windows 7, life became more fun to live.

***Sigh*** whateva, see above, I restored, IOS5 restore removes all apps on my phone, so, yes, it has been professionally cleaned by the helpful crew at apple IOS industries. Twice.


Further, this fault is not mine alone, I spoke with a Iphone 4 user, same deal, freezes, restarts, don't know how apple are managing to keep this out of the news.... Must take a lot of clout, maybe the editors are all fanboys, or still on IOS 4 😁

Hi all,


I'm not sure but I hope this might be helpful to some of you who are having the same problem as I was having. My iPhone (3GS) was restarting frequently after I have upgraded that to iOS 5. I noticed that the problem of restarting happens when the network is enabled. So I suggest trying to enable the airplane mode and see if the phone still restarts.


When i enabled the airplane mode, the phone was pretty much stable and didn't have any problem. So I've tried disabling the airplane more and disabled the network. I've tried connecting to WiFi network and it was still working fine. So I figured, the problem must be with the network.


The thing I have found and I'm not sure if it might be the same case with you all, is that perhaps the iPhone was trying to get a data network connection and since I didn't have any at that time, it failed and for some reasons it restarted. When I switched on the data connection under the network, the phone was stable again without any problems.


Maybe you want to go through the same process and pin point the problem. I hope this may be helpful to some of you having the same problem as I had.


Cheers,

Hadi
