Ios7 problems, safari crashes

I've already tried. I posted a "tip" to MacWorld, MacLife and a couple of other websites. But I'm a nobody to them. If you know someone who knows someone who knows Kevin Bacon, maybe you can get that side of things rolling.

I'm going to watch the tech new on NYT and WaPo and see if I can get some reporters names.

Here is the fix according to Apples erogance in how they deal with any kind of iissues wnen they release either a new OS or new Hardware.

Safari crashes becasuse of CSS and Javascript, So theses sites that are creating problems need to switch to HTML5.

Remember Apples response towatds Flash??? They told web developers to re write in HTML5, not neccasarily the web standard but Apples standards.

So although I will continue to use "some" Apple products, I think at least for now I am giving up on all IOS devices.

Just because Apple sells more IOS devices than any other brand out there does not give them the rigjt to dictate how the WEB should be developed.

CSS is part of html5 as far as I know. Apple could force Flash out, but I don't thinks they'll really try to force out JavaScript. And CSS is part of coding now. Style sheets.

psmyth,

Yes you are correct CSS and Java are used in HTML5,

I guess my point is that Apple always like to blaim everyone else but themselves.

If "most" things worked in IOS6, how in **** could they then break it in IOS7 and not even know about it.

To me Apple is just way to secret now, sure they have all the money in the world now, So I guess they feel they can dictate how the WEB and the World should work, or another words they no best and everyone else is wrong. Why? just look at there stock price and market share in the mobile / tablet arena.

The senior advisor I've been talking to just called and said the engineers said they had duplicated the crash. Nice!

He emphasized that people and others should continue to call AppleCare, tell them the problem, and ask to speak to a senior advisor.

He said to emphasize the Safari browser crashes. Senior advisors should be aware of the problem. You might say you'll be glad to send them data. He also said the Geniuses should not be replacing devices.

I would advise doing the "fixes" before calling: Clearing history and cache, and restoring to a new device (if you have an iTunes backup for later). That way you can say "been there, done that".

I think is probably a problem that looks a lot easier to solve than it is. I've yet to have an experience where Apple didn't want and try to solve a problem. Steve Jobs is still watching.

My Map runs perfect using JavaScript Code, CSS Style Sheets, and HTML5.

BUT the same code using Tap Tap Zoom crashes on the 3rd tap tap.

Low Memory allocation by iOS 7 is the cause not the JavaScrip Code or CSS.

Remember pinch zoom runs perfect with the same Code. When the iOS 7 Code runs the 3rd Tap Tap zoom it goes crazy wanting to much memory beyond what is available.

If Apple will focus on the 3rd Tap Tap zoom they will find the bug in their iOS 7 Code and will fix almost all of the Low Memory Problems.

I agree the secrecy has created problems.

But I have to wonder if we Apple users are annoyed by issues like these crashes would react the same way if we were Windows 8.1 users and had crashes? Or could call anyone.

We just have high expectations. Better than low.

Im afraid this is a problem that has only just started occuring and is not restricted to iPads running OS 7.

I have an original iPad 1 running OS5 and it has also recently started crashing all over the place and dropping out to the Home screen.

I have found the problem visiting websites that I have been using for years without the problem. But just recently the pages appear to try and load then reload every time I attempt to scroll or tap on an embedded clip - with the clips causing the crash about 7 out of 10 times.

Im not aware of any software that Ive installed that has directly caused this because I have not used OS6 or 7 on this iPad. I disabled the iCloud stuff on my iMac and deleted both the cache and history and bookmarks etc. which seemed to work for a day or two - but its now as bad as it was before I reset everything. The deleting of all the "remember me" details makes this sort of reset a right pain in the bu** so Im not that keen to keep on doing it.

Malware? Virus?

So now we know that in iOS7 there are at least 3 issues that can make safari crash:

1. A memory leak in the JavaScript engine. This can be concluded from research done by the leafletjs.com team. Probably this is the cause of crashes in many complex maps-sites.
2. A problem handling css like div { -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden}
3. A problem that occurs when using the iCloud Keychain (since 7.04)

It appears that Apple is now at least aware of the last two issues.

Excellent! Thanks.

Would any of those three scenarios account for the crashes when downloading a large PDF file or the twitter crashes that can duplicated or when visiting sites with a large number of embedded YouTube videos?

Could be 1, 2, perphaps 3 or a combination of them (or even something else 😟 ).

I think the major focus of this thread should be to get people to report these problems to Apple.

Secondarily, to get other iOS 7 users to come clean, and admit "oh, yeah, this is happening to me". Then say Report It!

This just happened with my niece.

I think this is pretty widespread, and many are either not triggering it, or passing it off as an annoyance. It's like, still a pretty device.

I feel encouraged that everyone who reports the crashes, seems to link it to an update or new purchase. In other words, it doesn't seem contagious. That would be scary ...
