iPhone 6S freezes after unlock

having the same issue again, when charging the phone is kinda buggy, I really hope apple fix this issue with software update..

I tried everything that I have found here, but then guy from our IT Support told me to just take off the case.

IT WORKED!

This case thing is nonsense if you ask me. I have never used a case and experienced this issue very often. However I am very happy to be able to say, that the newest beta fixes it. I still had a lot of occurences in the previous beta, but the new one is smooth. Finally.

with the "new" 9.2.1 i'm not having the issue anymore.. so strange

Same here. I am on beta 9.3 beta 6 and I think everything is fine now?

Can anyone definitively confirm iOS 9.3 public release fixed unlock lag? I haven't updated my phone for two months because I finally got the lag to go away after two dozen restores. I would like to install the latest software but I am afraid it will make my phone lag again.

I upgraded as soon as the final release was available, and yes I can confirm it appears to be fixed! I have had no lag when unlocking since Monday, I have also restarted my phone and the issue hasn't come back. I noticed today just once when unlocking there was one instance but that is it, possibly just a one off.

I Have 6S Plus 128 gig and have been plagued by the 'freezing after unlocking issue' from day one, I had my doubts about 9.3 but it feels like a new phone, smooth and no freezing.

Very happy.

My experience is the same as Etuj with 6s 128gb; works great on 9.3. No complaints.

Live in US

ATT and the phone works great

Landed in Helsinki and the 6S 64GB started freezing

Beyond annoying.

Running 9.3.2

Restarts do not fix the problem

Now updating to 9.3.3

also getting an "Carrier Settings Update"

This may be a carrier and OS issue.

Doing the updates and will see

Dang

Updates did not work

Now on 9.3.3

Also did carrier updates (elisa or ATT? - it doesn't say)

BUT

The twist trick seems to work

Did something happen to the phone while traveling?

We will never know

Started up a WiFi connect and it seems to be a bit better behaved, which would point to carrier issues...

The BIG question now is:

Whether or not the problem persists when I get back to the States in a few weeks

Only time will tell

SOLUTION

All righty

The flex thing worked for the short term - why? I have no idea but it kinda sorta works.

Ended up having to do a complete "restore", which appears to have cured the freeze frustration.

How to:

First using iTunes/Photos, back-up all of the phone & disconnect the cable.

Local to "this computer" likely faster

then

starting from iCloud, find device and erase the phone.

That's right, scorch earth. Completely swipe the phone.

The device is now recognized as completely new.

Connect the cable & launch iTunes, then restore from back-up you did just before you swiped the phone.

Restore takes a while and some things will need to be reentered, like wallet stuff.

BUT

well worth the hour or so as the freeze issues are magically wiped away...

Seems to work. Will post if they come back. Better not!

Hope this works for others with Freeze Frustration

As to the why my 6S went bad after flying SFO->AMS?

Any thoughts on that?
