ios 11 update phone freezing

This is how I fixed all my issues - freezing, crashing, black screen, unable to be heard on calls etc

- Tried to downgrade to 10.3.3, this kind of worked but all my downloaded apps had a missing-icon icon and didn't open. I tried to fix this and rebooted 2x. On second boot the phone wouldn't turn on - stuck on apple logo.

- Went into recovery mode with USB plugged in. iTunes informed me I needed to "update to 10.2.x". Tried updating, said something like "declined to update this image on this device"

- Updated iTunes from 12.5 to 12.7 and made 1 last attempt to recover phone. This time it prompted to update to 11.1. It worked! Booted up but I still had to manually delete all the missing apps and re-install from Store.

Since doing that I haven't had any issues (so far anyway). Everything is running smoothly now without the massive mem leaks 👌

tl;dr if Factory Reset does the same thing then try that. Otherwise go into DFU mode and do it through iTunes. Another user said he tried this but it started to go wrong again, so only more time will tell but looks good so far.

It is stupid bro every time apple comes up with new iPhone and they come up with new software destroys the older version and we suffer. The only answer and solution to this is that buy new iPhone thats what they doing.

Unfortunately I am not made of money so buying a new phone every 6 months isn’t going to happen! I’d like to be outraged and say surely not and tell you that you’re wrong but I very much suspect that you’re exactly right!

If the phone was cheap fair enough but it’s **** expensive and ones you update your phone won’t allow you to downgrade this is rediculars.

This is not fair Apple do something about it and care for civilian who can’t afforded it.

Apple put your self in people’s position who can’t afford it and can’t upgrade iPhone every 1 year or 6 months

I have done all the nessacery updates and factory reset, yet still not working, does the same problems.

Apple please do something I don’t have money and I rely on my iPhone a lot please have some sense of humor and compassion

I will certainly do that. Unfortunately I can’t give any consistent details for what causes this rogue behaviour other than it was fine until 11.0.3, and now it’s not. Hopefully Apple will take all this feedback into consideration for the next update!

I doubt that Apple will consider those information and take it on board. Let’s be realistic here IOS 11 is build for iPhone 8 and X which is 10. To make it more clearer is that they wants us to buy the new iPhone that’s all what comes down too. Business is business

This is most trouble prone iOS update i’ve ever seen. Lock screen gets stuck. Phone went blank like it was dead and had to do a hard restart. App icons froze, restart fixed that but now icons app icons are sluggish and do not respond like they should.

This has happened to me three times as well, but even worse. My phone is nearly useless. I can't even turn it off and I have to let my phone die. This is a serious issue in case of an emergency, have y'all really not come up with a solution or am I going to have to go Android? Come on Apple...

I had the same issue with an iphone 7+. Once again obsolescence as planned into these cell phones to ensure an upgrade is purchased. When is Apple going to leave well enough alone. Security is one thing testing the app is Apple’s problem. This is why I only have an iPhone. And I’m thinking about going to Google‘s phone.

The problem I always have with restoring from a backup is that I synchronize my workplace email to my device. While my mail settings are restored, it can take hours to re-synchronize the mail messages with the office 365 servers. The last time I had to do this, it basically took my phone out of commission for 12 hours.

I attempted a restore from backup yesterday. It DID NOT work. Yes, my screen, settings, etc all came back (HOURS later). But after the restore was done, the whole screen went grey & the words UPDATE NOW appeared. No other options. I tried the home button. I tried turn off/on. It forced me to update the phone to 11.0.1. Or the phone was inoperable. Once that was done, it keeps bugging me to update to the patch😠😠😠

This manipulation my my phone designer is getting old really fast🙋-1F3FB;

getting regular freezes since upgrading to 11 including 11.1.1. Always seems to be related to location services on various apps. And when some app has frozen and I go to settings>privacy to try and turn location services off and on, then settings freezes as soon as I select privacy.

On 6s 64gb.

I have the same problem. The home button seems unresponsive as well when it freezes. I have found if I touch the seemingly unresponsive home button and say Hey Siri, Siri will respond and it wakes up my phone. It works, but not an acceptable solution !

Been struggling with random freezes issue since iOS 11 (it still wasn't solved on 11.1.1)

I have a 7+ w/128GB

Just before freezing, I've noticed that some icons are automatically darkening their color one at a time (as like they were pressed), and almost every time the imessage icon stays dark (it's like it is permanently pressed).

Then, The icons can be "pressed" by me (they responds by getting dark) but nothing happens, and a few second later it totally freezes and a hard reset is needed.

A really frustrating bug with no answer by Apple in a few version updates already. 😟
