Thats basically a respring its been a known issue in iOS 7, but the problem does not affect all users ur probably one of the unlucky ones. But what you can try is restore iOS 7.0.2 and set up ur iPhone as new and see if it happens again.
Well thats basically up to Apple, if they know about it then of course, if they dont know about it then no
. Im sure they do know about it and hopefully will be fixed in future updates.
Restored and setup my iPhone 5S as new but it kept happening. My replacement should be arriving this week.
Wouldn't be strictly software as it's not affecting all users (ip4, 4s, 5). If it was a update would've been pushed out sooner
Sounds more as both hardware/software compatibility as majority of this happens on the 5S along with the BSOD.

I'd say it's a combination like Fantasigraphic said but I'm not sure. I'll find out when my replacement arrives.
No. It is strictly software. My iPod touch 5G was doing the same thing. Restored and it's fine. Restore clean, not from backup.
I have this problem too.
So you back up your phone, restore as "new" and then how do you get all of your apps and settings and everything back?

I restored my 5S and set up everything as new yet it kept happening. Whether you will experience the same or not I don't know though.
No it doesn't appear to be strictly software.
Go into Settings/General/About. Scroll down to Diagnostic & Usage, then go into Diagnostic & Usage Data.
If you have any entries called PANIC.PLIST then your iPhone has an hardware issue and will need to be replaced.
I had a 4s that was doing exactly that same thing and I had PANIC.PLIST in the diagnostic log and I had to get it replaced. There is no software fix for PANIC.PLIST's has they are a hardware issue.

Will people stop assuming what they're dealing with is the same for others. It may be a software issue and it may be a hardware issue.
Then explain how it's happening on some devices and not others. Even following a restore. Post #16 might shed some light.
I'd still be willing to give a proper restore a shot. I know how to restore to the set up as new iPhone, but at that point, what do I do to get back all of my apps and settings and data (messages, etc?)
Restore from backup. What's point of doing this if your phone is crashing? Obviously it's something in your backup causing the reboot.
In this case you're just gonna have to bite bullet and restore. If still continues then it's more than software issues and now gotta look at hardware issues/problems
Only way to get apps back is to re download them, and to get settings back you'll have to start from scratch and go thru and set again. To get messages back only way is to restore from backup.
Ah. Understood. Well...that's a pain...but I guess it's worth a shot. I haven't done a fresh start since I got my first iPhone, and that was years and years ago and I went through all the iOS 7 betas too
