ios 7.0.2 Restore and Safari Broken

I am having the same problem on iphone5 since updating to ios7.0.2 but cant find any help very upsetting! I have tried everything I know but nothing works😠 open safari just a white screen then the app closes after a minute

i am having the same problem with the new ipad. safari was hanged. i reseted the ipad it hanged up also. then i did it with itunes. it went good safari opened for the first time then safari is hanged again. also when i open safari settings settings also hangs.

YES! I have the same issue and I have tried all of the suggestions. I think it may be related to another application and when I have the time and energy. I plan to start over for the fourth time only I will test Safari after each application is reinstalled.

Had the same problem after updating my iPad2 to iOS7.0. After "up"grading to 7.02 the iPad is dead and cannot be restored any more. Help needed!

I wiped it clean again and started fresh. Befor installing ANY applications from the store, I checked Safari and it worked.

I have been installing applications one at a time, and testing Safari after each install. I reboot the iPad2 after testing, and then check Safari again before installing the next application.

Thus far, I have successfully installed a number of applications and I'm backing up the iPad after every two or three applications so when it fails I won't have to start all over again. Safari hasn't crashed yet, and I will continue installing applications one at a time. Here is the list thus far:

Chrome

Dolphin

VNC Viewer

LogMeIn Ignition

Skype for iPad

Dropbox

SugarSync

Kindle

OverDrive

Docs to Go

Cubby

Evernote

Just Cloud

Seagate Global Access

Facebook

Print to Dell

I use my phone a lot, and that includes Safari. This just started today and I'm using 7.0.2 as well. I have exactly the same issues, both with Safari and in Settings. I have noticed that if I launch Safari, and then double click to change app to the desktop, and then double click again, I can see the thumbnail of the Safari screen is searching for iCloud. I can see the Google search but if I click that window, it goes to a white screen of safari

This is definatley a 7.0.2 issue.

I also tried to turn off Safari in iCloud and it hung too. this does not help to solve the problem, other than to provide similar findings, but this is a global Safari issue, meaning everything that touches Safari code.

Same here, yesterday suddenly Safari stopped working. Under "Settings" I'm also unable to open the Safari entry.

Maybe it's time for Apple to release a statement....

PROBLEM FIXED

I finally contacted Apple Customer Care today, via the chat line. I don't have the Apple Care in longer, but they provided two options - 1) pay $19, and 2) Just installed iOS update. I selected the later. I restored the phone, as many of you have done here. The restore works fine, but once I restored the data to restore my old settings, the install process failed, a few times, but each time, we tried something else. I was felt that there was something in my backed up data that was causing a corrupt file which became part of the RESTORE process. I untimatley had to rebuild the phone back to 7.0.2, from the iCloud, where my contacts, calendars were stored. I had to give my phone a new name, and load my apps manually, which was a pain, but it worked, and now everything is RESOLVED.

I started the online chat at 1:27 pm today, and the woman, who was ever so patient, stayed online with me untile 5:45. Most of the time was waiting for the system that was hanging during the restore process. All my data accept for my personal settings were maintained, which was what was important to me. I think Apple Support Staff is AMAZING, and no one else comes close.

I like to tease my Android buddies, by saying, "Have you called Google?"

Problem persists.

I got the iPad back to work not by restoring but by Bud Hartley's advice installing everything (see above and thank you). After all th apps were on, Safari would run for a little while. Then stopped. It hangs in Safari and in setup. When I remove it from the multi tasking menue and start again, it again hangs with empty page. If you then look into the multi taking view, you see the same old page where it originally stopped working. All other apps are working, however I see NONE in the purchased apps !?

I installed Chrome to replace safari. Not pretty but it works.

After the complete reload of applications from the store, my iPad2 was still OK... Isaw the post about turning off the Safari / iCloud switch, and after doing that my iPhone 4 worked again. I wish I had tried that with the iPad, but having wiped it clean I have fewer apps installed so I guess there is a benefit.
