iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8
So have we all come to realise that all these problems are due to a poorly designed phone that when bent, loosens off chips and causes ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS? I fix these as a non Apple ELECTRICAL ENGINEER and if you search around, you will see they ALL ENDED UP DEAD. I have a box with 50 nice looking iPhone 6 that are all dead from the base band chip coming loose. I bet this post gets pulled!
today I had the same problem, I used the certain app and my phone showed me very quickly blue screen and then did reboot I don't know what was that I got iPhone 6 plus
For me, I did on my iPhone 6+ but the iOS 8.1 update solved the problem on my end, so far no crashes, even with heavy browsing, video streaming and app usage. I suggest you try to update to iOS 8.1 to see if it solves it for your device.
Unless if you did update to iOS 8.1, then I believe it is best to go into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings (ALERT: BEFORE YOU DO THAT, MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR IPHONE TO ITUNES SO YOU DO NOT LOOSE ANY PHOTOS AND CONTACTS). This will erase your phone and you should do a clean install of all apps, musics and other media, though only allow contacts to be reimported into your phone via iTunes.
I Have on my phone iOS 8.1 I did update on 20/10/2014 but before I didn't have this issue today was a first time, just had few days ago an unexpecteble reboot. I hope it's iOS issue now the phone
I hope it is an iOS issue too, for me, I haven't experienced this issue yet. What apps causes it by the way? Just list some so hopefully it could help a little more.
Some of the apps it does it on are like Instagram,Safari, sometimes while texting it'll freeze up and reboot, and youtube. I didn't have this problem before updating to iOS 8.1, so i hope its an iOS problem and apple fixes it soon.
Hummm... This is odd... iOS 8.1 solved it for me, must be an OS bug. If it is too severe to tolerate, I suggest erasing the device and start fresh. Otherwise, I don't know then... I for now won't hold my breathe and claim it to be an iPhone 6+ defect but the iOS 8 compatibility with iPhone 6+ is not as stable... The iPhone 5S and 6 is not fairing any better with users claiming to have connectivity and photo app bugs...
+It appears the solution is - Apple needs to address this issue in order to solve it, clearly iOS 8.1.1 need to fix all or most of the problems across the board and they need to improve compatibility across the board.
i did restore as a new one 3 days ago and had this issue today when I installed hola app from website hola.org
Just another thing I hope could do, may not be the solution but does not hurt to try, drain the battery to zero, press the power button a few times, then recharge. More like a battery recalibration but it also does a soft OS refresh in some senses. Otherwise, I don't know, most likely from the looks of it, Apple needs to solve it.
I have a similar problem. My iPhone 6 Plus 128GB reboots itself a few times a day. Typically, either when I an unlocking or kicking off a spotlight search. I took it the the Genius bar at the Apple Store and got the most frustrating advise. They want me to erase the phone and manually install all the apps (304) again (losing all the data for each of those apps). They recommended that restoring from iCloud was my issue and that I needed to start clean for .
Essentially, Ben at the whitehall, pa Apple store told told me he does it at least once a year. Losing all my data and starting over, I might as well return the phone and start over with an Android and have some money left in my pocket--if Apple wants me to start all over again anyway.
I have the same problem. It seems to happen when I have a couple of apps open and am jumping between them , and boom! Crash, reboot!
I think I will live with the reboots. I cannot accept the Apple "you're doing it wrong" advice I got from the store. I can't imagine every iphone user starting fresh every year and abandoning all their data and money spent for in-app purchases as Apple's Genius bar suggested. Hoping it is fixed with an upcoming patch.
Hello, this type of error is not solved with a software update. They should call Apple Support, or go to an Apple store to change their iPhone.
Tried that route, just got disappoint from Apple. I mentioned that others were reporting this issue on the Apple forums. The Apple support person said I was reading from those who set out to be negative.
My iPhone 6+ 128GB has been working perfectly for 4 weeks until I loaded 20K photos on it this morning which pushed the usage to over 60GB. Then I had the first terrible crash in the evening while playing a song via my car audio and it entered an indefinite reboot loop. Finally I managed to shut it down. After turning it back on, i took out 20K photos, sync it, so the usage falls below 50GB; now it works perfectly. I did not have to fall back to factory setting. The backup on my Macbook works perfectly. Both apps and data on the phone are intact. So I guess as long as you don't cross the 60GB boundary, it works.
It seems related to flash memory as many suspected. So I don't think getting a new one at this time with the same flash memory architecture would solve this. I guess we will need to wait for the recall!!!
