Ask any iPhone user what his favourite application or function is and chances are you will hear him rattle on. However, this also means that the iPhone is susceptible to common bugs like hanging or freezing when it has been overloaded or overworked.
Not unlike a computer hanging, your iPhone typically halts any ongoing activity and the touchscreen becomes non-responsive. Attempts to switch the phone off might even be futile. In such an instance, the iPhone software has "frozen". Your phone might also go blank on you and the screen simply turns black.
To revive a frozen phone, try pressing the Home button and holding it down for about six seconds. This force-quit action can sometimes unfreeze the application and your phone will start working fine again.
In another common scenario, your iPhone may suddenly revert to the Home screen although you are using an application or widget. As a result of this, you may find that you have lost any recent changes you have made or certain actions last made may not have been recorded. This means that the iPhone software has crashed. If this happens repeatedly, you might have to restart your phone.
To do so, simply hold down the Sleep/Wake button at the top right hand corner. A red and white arrow slider should appear on the screen along with the words "slide to power off". Follow the instructions to off your phone, then wait a while before you press on the Sleep/Wake to switch your phone on again. After the Apple logo appears and the phone startup sequence has been completed, you should be back at the Home screen.
However, in certain cases, even this restart may not shake your iPhone up. Another method to restart is the force restart; hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously for around 10 seconds. This usually works as a method of last resort for most crashed iPhones.
