Perhaps this issue should be posted on the Apple forums, but I usually get better replies here.

 

It seems I have to reboot my iPhone 4 a lot to get certain things to work. This includes app and call issues.

 

For example Yahoo IM. I’ll have an issue with it not going into landscape mode, or it keeps saying the message didn’t send. I reboot the phone and everything starts working again. Another example is my Weather Channel app. It will look like it’s loading but it never does and when I reboot, viola, I get the information. Another issue is with making calls. The other day I called my Mom and when she spoke, the sound was distorted even after trying both her home and cell it was the same sound. I call it alien/under water sounding, but either way, after I rebooted my phone, it was fine. I also will have dropped calls issues and rebooting helps that too. Texting doesn’t seem to be an issue. I use Yahoo IM every day and I know the app was recently updated, but it still has glitches. Like when I open it for the first time and sign in, it closes without me doing anything. When I reopen it, it stays open. I’m sure that’s an app glitch, but the landscape mode and messages not sending issue can be resolved by rebooting. The Weather Channel app. can also be fixed by rebooting.

 

So I don’t know if these app issues are only app specific and are resolved on their own with rebooting, or if the phone itself is having an issue and rebooting fixes it temporarily. I notice these apps with issues because I use them daily. I also use the Slingbox app a lot and that usually works fine with the exception of it saying another user is connected and then I get booted, but it doesn’t happen often. But rebooting helps this too.

 

Sorry for the long post, but having to reboot a few times a day is getting annoying. Or is it par for the course with this phone?

 

Any input is appreciated.
