Apps are crashing because of high wired memory usage without reason!

Hi, I am using an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1 and had no problem with it so far, but couple days ago I installed the smartsync app (syncs my contacts with facebook) and since then all of the apps are keep crashing because of the wired memory goes up really high, crashes the phone and do it again. Even if there is no app open, the wired memory goes up really high and crashed the phone and then do it again. So the battery dies really fast, and you cannot really use any app! I deleted the smartsync, it didn't help! I did a restore and a back-up, didn't help so does anybody have any idea?

Thank you!

Hi csabanova,


The problem lies within the way that "smartsync" connects the profiles with your contacts.


My Problem:

After the Sync, ALL my apps kept crashing, 3rd party as well as Apple originals.

I tried the following which did NOT help:

1) Reset iPhone

2) Restore iPhone

3) Installing a new "free" app

4) all other crap


What DID help:

1) Delete smartsync and rate it with 0 stars; then...

2) Sync all your calendars, contacts, bookmarks, notes and so on (no need for photostream or documents) with your iCloud account, then delete your icloud account on your phone with all its data (i.e. your contacts), and finally add your iCloud account again so it basicall resets all your contacts 🙂


This stopped causing all my apps to randomly close or "crash" at random points...


I hope this helps many others who have been struggling for days...


regards,

I have the same issue with the apps crashing and battery levels decreasing faster than before but i dont have that smart sync apps. If anything i use Sync.me (is that the same sh..?) but my problems started when i updated to the new ios6!! soon after i i downloadd that os my phone started to crash and i'm going nuts. I'm about to trow it agains the wall.


With all the money Apple has you would think the beta testing would be more thourough and not to be able to come up with a quick fix or simple solution to this is very time consuming specially when speed on these days is a key to communications.


Has anyone heard from Apple directly? Are they even aware of this? do they even care?


Plase help, i'm trying not to delete everything from my phone, is just a pain in the butt


cheers
