Fixing Safari Crashes on the iPhone
Yesterday I reported that Safari reset on my iPhone frequently. Darcy left a comment that suggested that a hard reset would solve the problem. Sure enough, one simple hard reset later and the problem was solved.
To perform a hard reset hold down the top button and home button simultaneously and about 10 seconds. Note that this is also how you power the phone off. When the “Slide to power off” slider appears, just keep holding the buttons down and pretty soon you’ll see the Apple that indicates the iPhone is reseting.
I didn’t lose any data—a hard reset doesn’t reset the Flash memory.
So, like most problems in computers, rebooting does wonders.

So I was having issues with my battery not lasting as long as it should so the apple person told me to do the iPhone restore. I did and now my battery last a lot longer (So far the icon says 100% for the day when before it would be about 1/4 or more used). Also I noticed that some of the apps work a little better (Faster). I wonder if the apple restore code is slightly newer than the code that came on the iphone.
