Why does my iPhone4 keep rebooting when I crop a photo?

I just updated to iOS 5.1 about 20 minutes ago.

When I got back on my phone, I went to crop a picture and when I hit the crop square, my phone shuts off and then turns back on. I've done this about 4 times now and I know this is definitely the cause. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

Same issue here. When going into cropping a photo with the photo app the iPhone 4 reboots. Never had this problem before. If so many people are having this issue isn't someone at apple looking into it? I would think customers should not have to go through a reset to factory settings on their devices just to get the app to work correctly. Apple any responses to a fix?

I am having the exact same problem - was relieved to read the discussion thread, as was worried it was my phone that was faulty - are apple looking into this?


My problems also occur with only screenshot photos I am trying to crop: phone crashes - apple logo and I have to log in all over again EVERY TIME - and only on certain screenshot photos - not all?

Having the same problem with my 4. I upgraded to 5.1 a couple of weeks ago when the update came out, and only just about 10 minutes ago has my phone started rebooting when I try to crop a screenshot.

Although, I've noticed that it only will reboot when I attempt to crop a screenshot, not a picture that I've taken with the camera.
Any help/solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated!! It's quite an annoyance.
