iPhone 5s Crashing

Had no idea about that, thanks.

----------

I set my phone up as a brand new phone; didn't want any extra crap coming from an old backup.

I've been using my phone all day, no issues. I'm gonna try and play some Infinity Blade 3 and see if that just uses up enough memory that it causes a crash or something. As you said, I don't really think this is a hardware issue. The phone runs like butter and is amazingly fast. I wonder if 1GB of memory is just not enough or, because they rewrote a lot of the OS in 8 months that there are just a bunch of bugs still there. That, and as you said, it's now a 64-bit OS and this is the first phone to run that... That might even be our issue.

I'm just afraid to go in to my local apple store and either lose my phone for several days or they replace it to just have it do this all over again.

And hell, with as fast as it resprings, it's not that much of a big deal... but it is annoying. I will admit I'm torn between what to do though.
 
Mine has crashed a couple of times. Mine was restored from the last back up I had, in Feb.

I've had two random fast restarts. And a couple of hangs, where all hardware keys were unresponsive and had to do a power/home key restart. Last time it happened I was looking at a picture in my gallery.
 
Don't discount the fact that it could be hardware. When I got my iPad 4 the first one locked up, stuttered and crashed regularly. I restored from new, same thing. I returned it and the new one has never done any of that, ever.
 
My iPhone 5S has crashed a few times in the few hours I've had it. I set it up and then restored from an iTunes backup of my iPhone 4S I had just made. I had restored the iPhone 4S a few days ago and wasn't having any problems with the 4S.

Actually the 5S completely shut itself down at the end of the first sync with iTunes after restoring from backup (not after the restore, but at the end of podcast sync). I don't think it shut down as basically just shut off. I couldn't turn it back on again and iTunes still thought it was syncing. Eventually it turned itself on and seemed okay.

I've also had a number of crashes in the Settings app for no rhyme or reason. It seems to happen when apps are installing.

All of this was before I upgraded to iOS 7.0.1. That failed the first few times I tried since the agreement never displayed properly. It turns out Pages, KeyNote and Numbers, which I had already downloaded and installed, decided to download and install again and I think the OTA install got confused. After restarting the 5S, it updated without issue.
 
it's more of the iOS 7 causing the crashes, I've discovered a lot of bugs. I think as soon as more people upgrade to iOS 7 they will discover a lot of bugs. Also there's a lot of stuff going on in the background now so check your settings to save BATTERIES, MEMORIES and etc... I had to turn off a lot of features to save those and to avoid crashes. Check your notifications, location services, background app refresh settings and etc, turn off those apps you don't use often.
 
Both my iPhone5 and 5S are suffering some random Apple app crashes .... so far at least Settings, Camera and Safari ..

While Apple are about as good as any mobile company at letting developers work on betas for as long as they can it cannot ever compare to the impact and feedback that the crash reports and usage info of several hundred million iOS7 devices will now be flooding in..

Given the massive scale of re-write iOS7 represents (64 bits, massive changes in apps) i'm actually pleasantly surprised at how well its holding up

I expect a 7.0.2 or 7.1 fairly soon ... usually ends up being about 6-8weeks post-launch for a major bug fix release...

Looks like background update function is the most broken given the issues apps like Mailbox suffered which they claim isn't their fault.
 
My phone has not crashed once since I got it, but I can tell you that yesterday I pressed the home button a couple of times and it wouldn't turn on. Then I tried the lock button, and still nothing. Then a couple of seconds later, it worked fine and has been fine since. My 4 did that a couple of times, but my 4s never did...
 
I had the 5 since it launched last year and it only rebooted once up to now, since I updated to iOS 7, it's rebooted itself 3 times in one day. Seems to happen the most when I bring up the new multi task.

I updated to the iPhone 5s (7.0.1) and it's doing the same thing. These issues have only occurred since iOS 7.

This is the buggiest iOS release I have ever used (used every iOS and iPhone since the 3GS released). Interestingly though my iPad 4 seems to be running fine so far.

I do expect the odd bug due to the large changes in iOS 7 but I am surprised this was not caught during the betas.

Apart from that I love iOS 7 and can't wait for these annoying bugs to be fixed.
 
I've had the Apple logo (reboot?) thing happen twice now in 7.0.1.

First was when using GIF Shop, and then just now after doing this:

1) Sent an email with the Gmail app
2) Immediately pressed home button twice afterwards to get the multitasking view
3) Immediately scrolled to the right through the apps in the list

I see a log for "LowMemory-xxxx.plist", where xxx is the timestamp of when it happened. So it was running out of memory when it happened?
 
My theory is that it wasn't as easy to port iOS 7 to the iPhone 5S's 64-bit architecture as Apple claimed and it's causing stability issues.
 
Any updates from anyone? I am beginning to think it's a hardware issue b/c the issue does not seem to be widespread. I read in another thread that getting rid of a dynamic wallpaper and getting rid of of the parallax effect would get rid of the problem, but my phone just rebooted again this morning despite me changing those settings. I'm running 7.0.2 right now fyi.

So u've had reboots after installing 7.0.2?
 
Restore as new already. If that doesn't work with no apps installed take it back. Simple. :confused:

That's what I'll do, but will download a few apps from the app store - just not from a back up and see what happens b/c after all, it is when I multi-task that the reboots usually happen...

I'm gonna just pick up another one at the store today. I'll let you all know if I have any issues with another phone.
 
So I had an appointment to see a "genius" for today so I showed up and he told me to do a hard reset and reinstall the os etc etc. As I was leaving the store, i went to the app store and could not find any of my purchases. i would log out, log back in and nothing. I then would log in to his devices and sure enough, there were my apps... so he just gave me a new one. I think I'll be setting it up as new and just downloading the apps that I use most instead of using the old backup. If there are more reboots i'll post about it here.
 
I have had around 6 resprings, all due to apps that are supposedly iOS7 compatible...
