Safari iPhone Problems?!

posted in news, by Codrut Nistor


A lot of people praise the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G for their Internet browsing capabilities, but there are still some of problems to be solved, and I am not talking about the "Copy and Paste" ability missing in action since the early days of the smartphone from Apple(http://www.apple.com/), a feature nobody knows why they've been avoiding to introduce. Well, we'll leave this and those other iPhone 3G problems aside, and have a little chat about Safari...

As you surely know already, Safari was initially developed for Mac OS X, but now there's also a (pretty capable, I must say) Windows version available, and the mobile one used by the iPhone, of course. That's exactly where I wanted to arrive, since it seems that Safari got a few interface tweaks with the latest iPhone firmware 2.2 Beta 1, as reported by iPhoneAtlas.

Here's what they say, so I spare you the effort of jumping to that page - "The new iteration of MobileSafari eschews the magnifying glass and refresh buttons at the top of the screen, instead displaying the URL bar and search fields side-by-side, much like the desktop version of Safari. Page refreshes are now accomplished via a tiny icon located inside the URL bar."

If this is going to be present in the final 2.2 firmware release, I am sure there's going to be one less of those Safari iPhone problems not many people talk about, but we must admit they exist, since ease of use is extremely important when talking about mobile applications.

This is it for now, but if you had any Safari iPhone problems, like program crashes, please step forward and let us hear what you have to say, we're all curious about the experience others are having with the Apple iPhone and the software tools coming with it!

I just purchesed my iPhone last week, and already Safari is acting strange. Maybe it's some setting I changed accidentally, I don't know. What happens is, I'm on the internet, going to various sites, just basically checking it out, then all of a sudden, it goes back to my main phone screen, and I'm no longer on the internet! And there doesn't seem to be a pattern. It does it when I'm using the 3G network, when I'm on wifi, when I'm driving and when I'm stationary. Any thoughts?

Codrut Nistor, on October 22, 2008

Hmmm...any special sites leading to this behavior? It could be one of the sites, or it could be Safari...
Did you update the software lately?

Mike, on October 26, 2008

I have exactly the same problem. Safari goes back to the main screen when I am browsing.

Gerry, on November 11, 2008

hi Robert and Mike,

Your problem on Safari is exactly what I am experiencing. I just bought my 3g 16 gig three weeks ago. This problem happens mostly while I'm on 3G. Not only once but many many times. At first I did not bother.But for the last three days, I keep on seeing this problem
Also, it freezes when going to new website. In three weeks it happens 4x. I just left for a while and after a min or so, I saw apple Icon ion black back ground. Even my borther who bought 3G phone experience same problem also.
Apple should take fix this bug.
tks.

Jeff, on November 18, 2008

I have been experiencing the same problem with my 3G. It is getting quite frustrating.

michael, on November 28, 2008

8

lisa, on December 11, 2008

I've had my 3g since it came out. I've been having problem with safari shutting down & going back to home screen as well. It gets really frustrating. Also, I can't seem to update my firmware to 2.2 version. It gets stuck on the "backing up lisa" window.

9

lisa, on December 11, 2008

michael: if you have cox email, it will not send email out from mobile/wireless for security purposes (per cox). I use my gmail or yahoo or hotmail for my outgoing (SMTP) settings on cox account on my iPhone. Hope that helps

Glad to see I'm not the only one with iPhone Safari/Apps problems. I got my phone for christmas and am already experiencing the shut down and return to home screen problem. Is there any way to stop this?

13

Sandy, on January 31, 2009

My website that I am working on freeze's up and I have to start over again and also many times when I am making a call the phone goes black and I can't end the call because I can't get a screen up to hang up but I can still hear that I am connected.

14

Tracey Brock, on February 06, 2009

I have the same problem... when using safari it goes black and back to the main screen. My phone also likes to call ppl radomly which sucks if it is at 3am in the morning. Does anyone have any links or ideas on how to fix this painful problem.

Cheers

17

Shanes, on May 06, 2009

Safari gets stuck and wont move after pressing refresh.
I tried clearing the history and cache.
My search pages are not cleared. The debug console
Doesn't work, it only serms like a virus.

18

Nicci Bethell, on June 23, 2009

I have had my phone since Januari, and never have been able to send emails, although I receive all of them. When I try to reply it just gives me the message "recipient rejected" My phone has gone back to Apple twice and came back both times stating "all ok, no problem found" I am finding this extremely frustrating and bad service as all my explanations are simply dismissed.

19

Anderson %9, on July 04, 2009

I think you made some good points.

20

Hillary, on July 05, 2009

Why not free number, free fax, free sms and everything was free ? wouldn't it be nice or good :P

21

Brian, on July 17, 2009

My iPhone 3GS does this thing where whenever I'm browing on safari it shows this small window from a page I was at once hovering over the pages I am currently.  I can't even exit out of  any of the windows because the smaller window is blocking the exit button, it just follows the screen whenever I change window.  I've tried clearing out the cache and cookies and even debugging the console but nothing is working.  Anyone have any ideas?

22

Ben, on July 22, 2009

Safari is frozen and doesn't load at all now on my 3GS. Please help!

23

Ana, on July 30, 2009

The following seems to be working for me:
FIRST- turn airplane mode ON for at least 15 seconds then turn it off - this resets wireless connections.
SECOND - go into Safari and delete most of your bookmarks and saved pages (keep these to a minimum).
In addition - reboot the phone occasionally.

24

Ally, on August 08, 2009

I got my iphone and when i open my safari it goes strait to favorites?
HELP PLEALSE!! <3

25

Dan, on August 19, 2009

 Safari Frozen... I have tried rebooting and switching to airplane mode for a while, but no difference. All other apps working well but safari page dead, can tap safari page  all day but no one home... dohhh

27

Debbie, on August 26, 2009

my safari was frozen too. I just did a restart. hold the sleep bar at the top of your iphone down until a power down bar appears. Power down. A few minutes later bring it back up. My safari unfroze after that.

28

Kyle, on September 03, 2009

My screen turns black once in a while and i dont know why. It does not do anything bad, it just turns black then I tap the screen, and it comes back. Its not from going to sleep, I dont think. I'll be looking for a song in I-Tunes and it will just go bllack! Is it supposed to do this?

31

Kyle, on September 03, 2009

Just wanted to add I have the 3Gs 16g. I just got it a week ago. Never dropped it yet, or got it wet (lol). It works perfectly besides that. I had the internet get jammed up, but thanks to Debbie, I restarted it, and it now works fine.

Also, I was wondering is there anyway that I can have pictures messages sent directly to my phone. And can I send them directly to other peoples phones???

I'd be really thankfull for any help at all!!!

32

Brittany, on September 18, 2009

I have the 3Gs 32g. A few nights ago, my safari stopped responding. I restarted it and it worked fine, so I didn't worry about it to much. Then, last night, it stopped responding again. I tried restarting it again, but with no success. I've done the airplane mode as well. If anyone has a solution, I would really appreciate it.

33

Kuulei, on September 22, 2009

my safari was stuck, but tried what debbie said and now its up and running again...THANK YOU!! and kyle, you need an app to send pics as mms text msg. you can send to email, just not to other phones...

34

Liane, on September 29, 2009

I had £17 credit on my phone last night, I set up my email account through the phone, and it has taken all of my credit...!  I was told at o2 that I had free internet for a year...now even if it wasnt free, it doesnt cost £17 for 10 mins of wap....! 

35

Sarah, on September 30, 2009

Debbie - it worked for me too! You are a star. Safari been frozen for about 2 weeks - never thought of the obvious one that we all do with computers! Thanx!!!

36

Kedar, on October 25, 2009

Dear Friends
My safari was working perfectly in my iPhone but later it stop  working. I can see the wifi sign in the iPhone but when I start browsing Safari the screen becomes little dark and it is hanged. It does not give any message and continues hanged.
My mobile is 3.1 and once I had updated the software. Apparantly the problem started after the down load.
It is not the network and configuration problem as my friend's iPhone 3. 0 is perfectly working. I am frustrated with this. I would appreciate if any one could advise me
Kedar

Irene, on May 22, 2010

My safari has recently been failing to open some web pages. These are web pages that I frequent constantly, so they used to be fine to open. I thought it may have been that the websites were down, but when I tried accessing them on another iPhone, they opened without a problem. My phone says "unable to open page because server stopped responding." How do I fix that? Again, my phone will open other pages fine, just not certain ones. I already tried resetting my phone and settings. The people on the apple support line couldn't even help me.

Anyone know what to do?!?!

84

MB, on May 23, 2010

When I am on the 3g network, I can't access some websites that I normally use when on the computer or when the i-phone is connected to wireless broadband.

Is there any lock which may prevent this on the 3-g mode?

Most other websites work that I try.

Regards

MB

85

MB, on May 23, 2010

Irene, I have the same problem as you but wasn't as clear in my explaination.

Let me know if you find a solution.

86

Kim, on May 25, 2010

I just got the I phone and my safari keeps locking up

87

Joe, on May 28, 2010

I just fixed my problem. What you want to do is go to your home screen. Then hold the top button on your iphone or ipod touch. After you hold it, the power button will come. SIide it and power it off. Then after a few minutes go back on. ANd your safari should work

88

joe, on May 28, 2010

again its what debbie said. Go debbie!!!!!!!!!!

Everytime I use Safari on my iPod Touch, the Safari screen turns dim and I am unable to go to favorites or history or anything. There is an icon on the screen that goes in a circle and says Connecting... ,however the screen never loads. My iPod says that it is connected to the internet, and on the top right corner, I have full connection. I've looked on other iPod help websites and they say to restart the ipod, but that never worked for me. This problem has been going on for 4 months, please help!

99

Lo, on June 23, 2010

then delete bookmarks and saved pages.
i am sure it would work.

Updated my 3gs iphone to os4 but had my safari frozen for the past 48 hours... Thanks Debbie, it's working fine now...

109

IDon, on June 29, 2010

IPod 4 update completely useless for 2nd gen Touch and pretty much ruined mine, for one for it took hours, the only worthwhile feature is folders, multi-tasking is not compatible with 2nd gen, but worse of all since updating its a hit or miss now to get a internet connection, mostly miss, got full bars on wifi, but wheel just keeps spinning then times out, if trying via safari it eventually gives server not responding msg, tried reseting network connections about 10 times, does not work, anyway to go back to previous update? Thanks!

110

Taylor, on June 29, 2010

115

BigButterHeysus, on June 30, 2010

I have a 3GS iphone, updated to 4.0 software and now 3G does not work. I have done Debbies steps and still doesnt work. WiFi works if I cant connect. But 3G does not work at all. AT&T has no idea and apple has no idea....AGHHHHHHHHHH.

Cone bar signal strength I am guessing at top left hand corner of phone, next to AT&T. Use to say 3G. Did black screen everytime Internet borrowser was opened. Resolved now by turning on/ off device airplane mode then off mode. Now seems like a desktop when viruses attack it. I can't get the Internet to respond and lots of errors are coded on the debugging screen. Any more suggestions? Not a happy customer. This has been very frustrating!!!! Help anyone if you can. Thanks!

My trouble seems to be with viewing multiple page articles. For example, on either CNN or Fox i.e. I will be reading an article, at the bottom of first page there will be a link for next page. This link downloads into a blank screen, what the heck? How do I access article in it's entirety?

swithing to airplane mode and then back and powering down (hold power button down for a few seconds) not only got my safari back but also helped my phone signal. I am just back from turkey and had no signal in house when i came back. thanks Debbie you saved me €200 on a GSM signal booster

On my new iphone, i have had for about a month now, the safari is frozen. i can open up webpages from emails i get, but it has the google seach up where i have tried to search for something. i cannot press anything, it is not responding when i try to add a bookmark, open another page and so on.
if you dont understand(i don't blame you):
-open safari on your iphone
-tap on the google search next to the URL bar
mine is stuck like that and won't change.

thank you if you actually bothered to read this!

Paula, on August 12, 2010

Safari will not load all my Facebook pages. I have a couple of friends that I could go look at in the full screen mode. I have tried everything. It is on the iPhone 4g. I think this phone should be recalled, every week something else isn't working on it. I mean the phone is only 2 months old if that.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I don't want to restore. ATT did that when it lost all my contacts. And when I connected to iTunes it put it back like it was before the restore. So I had to retype every last phone number and I wish I would have spend money on something that I could depend on. iPhone 4 stinks

It appears that this bug came with latest version of Safary Download manager 1.5.
So if you will uninstall it Safary will start working again. The other fix is to click "download" icon and then press "done". You will need to do this any time your safary will stop responding till new vertion of Safary Download manager will fix that bug. Watch video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVZ_a74fCUw

iPhone Safari - screen turned black, only displaying the AT&T time a battery condition across the upper bar of the screen. Re-starting the iPhone doesn't help,.
I can access the internet for example to do Goggle map searches and e-mail works fine.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I've been doing battle with Apple re problems with 3G, "known problems" they told me. So why did they sell them to us? When on the Internet, screen goes black and goes back to homes screen, losing bars, dropping calls, black screen during phone calls, constantly refreshing when returning to a page, etc, etc, ETC. They upgraded me to OS4; things got worse and I lost all bookmarks in the process. Then they wiped the phone and added the OS4 saying that would fix it (that time lost all my IMs but kept new bookmarks). Things got worse; all previous problems, but lots of frozen screens. Back to Apple. Gave me a new 3G with factory-installed OS4. In 2 days, along with precious problems, phone freezing constantly: while loading, while scrolling, etc, and stays frozen for at least 30 seconds. AND camera now freezing and not taking pictures. Back to Apple. They said "known problems" with OS4 on 3G but can't go back to OS3. Said it's caused by OS4 being too fast for 3G. But they're working on a fix BUT no time frame for it. HUHHH???!!! Why are they selling us these worthless phones? Their only response has been that I'm eligible for an upgrade (really? After only a year?), and can buy a new 3GS or 4G. My response? I already paid for a phone that doesn't work. I want a phone that works. Impasse. So I've turned it over to the Attorney General's office and they will contact the company. My question to all: how is Apple getting away with selling us a product they KNOW has these problems? There are countless complaints, these same complaints, on the Internet re these phones. Apple is fully aware of them but just pats us on the head and says a fix is on the way. Yeah, and the check is in the mail! Oh, I forgot another glitch: the keyboard freezes--constantly. And the Safari not responding messages, and, and, and.......

Great way to save money on an iPod touch is to buy one that has already been used. You could save about one hundred dollars on it.

Tono, on August 24, 2010

alex 8/20,
Thanks for your info... I had the same problem as you did. My safari froze after closing it and re-open it again. The video is very simple and clear. How do you uninstall safari download manager 1.5? (just curious) Thanks for your help once again... and we'll have to wait for the update to fix it I guess!

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation running firmeware 3.1.2 one day my wifi stopped working it says cannot connect to youtube and in safari it says the network has stopped responding. ive tryed verything i know and still i have the same problem. when im in public using wifi it wont even go to the login page or user agreement that gets you connected in the first place. it says its connected as soon as i choose a wifi network but i know that it isnt because there are no security checks or user login pages like there usually are. what should i do?
