iPhone Crashing Apps Fix

OK, so I encountered this problem that was weird, and I figured out a fix I haven’t seen anywhere else, so thought I would post it here for others.

The problem basically has all your apps starting but then just crashing and tossing you back to the home screen. I thought it was fixed in the 2.1 firmware update, but encountered it on a mate’s phone on Friday, so it’s obviously still out there.

So, how do you fix this annoying situation? I’ve seen people go to some pretty extreme lengths, but I figured out through some fiddling around the following fix…

Simply pick any one of your installed apps, hold your finger down on it and delete it when the icon goes all wobbly and offers you the delete option. It doesn’t matter which app – just delete one. Then go to the app store and reinstall that app. It doesn’t matter if it’s a paid app – you won’t be charged for it again.

And that’s it. You will now find that all your apps are back to normal and working just fine. Don’t ask me why or how this works. It just does. I’ve done it multiple times and on different phones.

Hope that helps someone out there in iPhone land.
