Air Drop restarts iPhone 5s iOS 7

My friend and I tried using Air Drop with our iPhone 5S's for a 2 minute video.

I was the receiver. As the file was sending, he pressed the Home button (almost 1/4 done transferring), wondering if the Air Drop would continue in the background. My phone then reset itself. (second time this happened- first time didn't realize what was going on, just saw phone reset and thought was just a temporary glitch)


Experimented- I was the sender now (34 second video). I pressed the home buttom about 1/4 of the way through. His phone acted a little weird and told me the text box was locked from opening.

Reset of phone fixed problem-for now.


On LTE.


Any body else willing to experiment and see if this a common occurence?

Did you do the same process (Home button during transfer)? Or are you letting the transfer go through the whole way?



Talked to an Apple CSR via the online chat.

Said Air Drop needs to be on the transfer screen throughout the whole process. Not sure if they were just saying that because it seemed obvious, or if that is official for AirDrop.
