When messages app is used, phone frequently freezes and the same thing happens when I open other applications on the phone. Any suggestions to fix this problem without resetting the whole entire phone?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4
Nick this is what is said in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
So if Apple doesn't have a problem with what I suggested then neither do I
double click the home button, that will pull up all running apps. If you have too many, this could be the cause. You'll want to escape out of any unnecessary apps. Other than that, you can also simply try powering off and back on.
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
That method should only be attempted if a normal turning off and back on either doesn't work, or is ineffective. Holding down those two buttons to power cycle is the equivalent of unplugging a computer to turn it off.
I always close up the apps but it has been freezing alot with only a couple apps opened and I keep getting notifications about messages received hours before i read them so not sure what's causing this but it's been doing it non stop
An this is what you said in reply to another post
"Assuming youve gone to settins>sounds, and settings>do not disturb, you may try settings>reset>reset all settings, or perhaps try powering off then back on, or after that try holding down the top button and home button at the same time until it resets"
yeah, notice that I suggested regular power cycle first, and then reset afterwards if it didn't work
And if you click on the link you provided, you will notice, and I quote
"Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it"
So yeah. Its ok, i forgive you.
My phone keeps freezing when i open apps, especially the messaging app. Is there any way to help minimize the amount of freezing that occurs?
