iOS 7 Random reboots/respring

I don't know what the problem is. I just know that my first 5S constantly rebooted but my 2nd and 3rd didn't reboot a single time.

Maybe there was some corruption somewhere. Thats possible. But its up to Apple to make sure things clean up and install properly on all other devices so that people dont have these issues. So far its been a crap shoot.

My iPad 4 likes to re-spring every now and then especially when entering multitasking or sometimes using iTunes radio. Many of my other apps I use constantly have worked perfectly fine in iOS 7 including many games. Its definitely and iOS 7 issue one way or another. All my crash logs indicate its a "springboard" crash. Thats core system interface issues.

FWIW, iOS 7.0.4 did NOT fix the repeated respringing problem on my iPhone 5S. Yesterday, upon waking my iPhone, using Touch ID, and then attempting to launch Music app, it respringed three times in a row! I thought I was never going to finally get to use the darn thing.

I have an appointment with the Genius Bar this morning.

Can anyone reproduce the Touch ID resetting and crashing on video?
 
My iPad air restarts 3-5 times a weeks. Once as I watched it charge (I was cleaning my room; not physically staring), it restarted. Happens randomly when using sometimes.
 
I was having constant random reboots and getting stuck in a loop w/ my 64gb 5s. Just got it replaced and restored with the same backup. Doing the same things and it hasn't even rebooted once yet.

How long have you had the new device?
 
I have this problem with two ipad airs and an iPhone 5. Definitely gotta be software.
 
My 5S hasn't had a single reboot in the 3 weeks I've owned it until today. I started the camera app and a few seconds later it rebooted. I'm pretty sure its a software issue/bug rather than a hardware issue.
 
I've had my 5S since launch, it's never done a respring once until last week, where trying to unlock it using touch ID it crashed, then crashed again the otherday just by unplugging it from charge. :(

Since then it been fine, but i'm guessing it something to do with the 7.0.4 update, or an app that not playing nice with my phone.
 
This has happened to me quite a few times recently. In one night of using the Music app (a period of an hour or two), I had at least 5 re-springs on my iPad (3rd generation). I don't know exactly what caused them, but I've also had one or two re-springs on my iPhone 4s in the month or three that I've had it.
 
iPad 3rd Gen is crashing in a similar manner. I will return to the springboard and then a few moments later I see the Apple logo as it reboots. From the crashreports EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV).

Has only happened under iOS7 and I have had reduce motion "on" since it was introduced on the iPad. Going to try a "dynamic" wallpaper rather than the images I had been using to see if that makes any difference in reducing the footprint of springboard.

Dynamic wallpapers will only make things worse.

I thought my iphone 5 was cured of the problem with 7.0.4 update, but today it did it for first time since update, when an imessage came through and as I hit the reply button I was greeted with black screen with apple logo. Most the other resprings were when using multi tasking.
 
Same here. The Air reboots fast but it's still annoying. I've reset my iCloud data as suggested by another poster.
 
My ipad3 and iphone5s reboot about once every 1-2 days. Generally occurs when using Safari, or multitasking to Safari. At least the device is quick to boot...:p
 
Yep, my 5S just respringed to the apple logo when trying to enter multitasking from safari. Same thing happened twice with my iPad 4 yesterday. So damn annoying. Other times its fone for days or even a couple weeks but I have an average of 2 resprings a week.

Unfortunately one of them even happened during an interview while multitasking and showing my portfolio. (Awkward).

Not sure how anyone at apple thinks this is ok.

Say what you will about Scott Forstall but iOS 6 crashed twice in two years I had it on my 4S. Now its a daily or weekly thing with iOS 7.

The sadder thing is that we are in week 3 of 7.1 beta. By now there should have been some progress made to beta 2. This is one of the longest waits ever with a single beta. Odd.
 
Hello, it seems like I am having this exact same problem on my iPad 4th generation, but I would link it to application updates / installations, as it tends to happen to me much more when I have a bunch of updates to do (more so if a 700 MB update is in the queue) and the random reboots during sleep could be the same thing when the device is trying to update apps automatically...

I can tell that before the respring it seems to freeze for some time first...
 
I just experienced this issue a few times in the last week on an Iphone 4S.

It happened once while I was using the phone, although I don't rememeber which app I was using at the time.

And I noticed it a few times respring while it wasn't being used. I leave it powered up while I'm working and it sits in my field of view on my desk, so it's very noticeable when it happens.

Each time I fully powered off the phone and back on. I can't correlate the respring to any specific action or state the phone is in.
 
'Random' resprings on both my iPhone 5S and iPad Air. Both on 7.0.4. I'm sure the bug will get fixed sooner than later.
 
I get app crashes but no reboots on 5s. I have the plugged in all day on LTE, either streaming video content or listening to iradio or siriusxm and/or using safari. Heavy email usage as well.

For me ios 7 on the 5s is solid.
 
This whole thing should be called respring-gate. If they fired Forstall over Maps, somebody should definitely set something handed to them for this iOS7 respring issue.

Both my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s respring pretty much any day that I use them more than a little bit. Sometime after just unlocking the device and pulling up the main screen. Most often when switching between apps.

It has to be one of the most annoying, disappointing things I've ever experienced with an Apple device - and Apple, as always, is a wall of silence.

Just last night I was composing a post on Google+, and was switching back and forth to an article, copying and pasting some of the content for commentary, when the iPad had a respring because I was multitasking. Totally unacceptable. The whole post was lost, since it had not been sent.

Thanks Apple.
 
Happened a number of times on my 4s.
At first I thought it was the battery.
then it showed 77 percent on the charge after a random reboot.

really annnoying.

I was already unhappy enough with the redesign.
 
My 5s started crashing now, too...

I have been using it for over a week until today and didn't experience any problems so far.
Until yesterday my 5s runned with my good old iphone 4 backup, which is over 3 years old -> absolutely no crashes/reboots.

BUT - yesterday i just wanted to try something out. So, I made a complete clean restore and set the phone up as new. I just wanted to see whether this would improve battery life...

Instead my 5s crashed/rebooted at least 4 times until this moment... The Preferences app crashed/hanged, a so called "locationd-something" crashed, 1-2 springboard crashes.

Even entering dfu mode and restoring the phone again + setting up as new didnt solve these problems.

I dont understand why my old iphone 4 backup worked a 100 times better.
 
I ran iphone 4s with ios 7 last few months and it was quite stable- Rarely rebooted by itself.

Just got a new iphone 5s the last few days and I have had the partial reboot (not as long as a full reboot) about 6 times already. I upgraded from 7.03 -> 7.04 and still notice the reboot. Turned off background refresh but that did not solve the issue either.
