Hi zack, I too am on dev with apple on this, I don't want to appear too tech on here to frighten users. basically, there's a glitch within the user layer of IOS5 which seems to have popped up in 5.01 possibly where if all apps have been killed in app switcher, IOS encounters a background crash. no errors given on device, instead, silence, reboots, voiceover becomes buggy at startup, runs fine, then about 4 to 5 mins later it repeats and continues. kind of like you would have a cyclic redundancy crash in windows XP as an example due to a hardware fault.
I've sent info to apple on this as I cover my back all the time. lew On 18 Dec 2011, at 19:07, Zachary Kline wrote: > Hi Lew and Paula, > May I ask what apps you refer to?
