Sick to death of iPhone internet crashing!!!
Hi everyone, I AM SICK TO DEATH OF MY IPHONES INTERNET CRASHING!!!! I never complain about litle bugs in things as they are expepects.....but this I can not stand anymore. It started on version 1.1.3 but only happened on websites that were realy big or had a lot of pictures etc on them...but now I carnt even go onto google without it crashing and its really starting to P**S ME OFF!!!

I have restored three time and each time it seems to get worse.

Is there any other way this can be risolved.

Thanks

Apple seems to be improving the reliability of Safari with each update. Just hang on.

I disable Javascript in the safari settings and that usually fixes it for me. Though there are a few sites that need Javascript to work properly

The problem isn't the iPhone; its websites with overly complex javascript that spends too much time churning the CPU doing nothing.

The iPhone has a limited amount of CPU and Memory and it'll kick Safari if it sees it not responding for 5 seconds. Safari isn't crashing per se; its just executing the javascript that it's been told to execute and its doing that to the exclusion of all else.

I consider it a bug though; Safari should automatically disable Javascript on a page if it takes more than a few seconds to execute some component, so that it can at least try to display the page rather than iPhone OS having to terminate Safari.

Do you think that Apple will ever be able to lift the limit in a future upgrade?

Thanks for the help!

Its limited by hardware, not software. They might be able to improve the performance in future but right now its a limitation we have to live with.

I use to use the Opera browser on my SE. It was unable to load half of the sites that Mobile Safari can load.
