Many times it happens to us, when we are using our iPhones, that the application that we have open crashes, forcing us to close it or, on some occasions, to turn the phone off and on again.
A problem that according to a study carried out by Crittercism, occurs more frequently on iOS devices than on those with Android installed (up to three times more). During the study, 214 million applications were blocked on devices with iOS and Android. 162 million of those crashes took place on iOS devices compared to 52 million that were blocked on Android.
On Apple devices, most of these errors occur on iPhones (74,41%). In second place are iPods (14,87%) and lastly, iPad (10,72%). It seems that iOS 5.0 is the one that gives more problems.
Blame it on iOS or the developers?
Well, it must be that I'm very lucky because my applications don't "hang" on me. In IOS applications generally what happens to me is that sometimes the operating system closes them, but this is due to poor memory management by the programmer, if an application is consuming a lot of resources and passes the warning it receives from the system operational, it is finally closed by IOS. This used to be a problem, now recent versions of XCode use a system that detects and corrects these types of memory problems.
Another study of null reliability. What devices, with what versions? Each crash with a different app? With the same? About what total number of executions? It is very nice to say things in studies of this type but you never trust.
That study was done as soon as iOS 5 came out. Many apps were not up to date yet. It is necessary to inform better. Grrrrr
Of course my experience is rather the opposite
Well, nothing, it seems that I am the only one who can come to believe this study. I do not know how it will be on Android because although I know it I have not had it as my own for day to day, but of course Windows (PC) hangs much less than iOS, and although they are not directly comparable, if it makes it clear that iOS is not as clean as it should be.
Blaming the programmer seems to me not wanting to see the forest.
Yes, we all have an iPhone and such, but we must not be a fan, we are able to recognize its many errors
my god, what windows do you have? the 2050 ??? I have tried how everyone I suppose windows daily and the despair was impressive ... for 1 year and 10 months that I have my bacbookpro I have never seen anything like that ... it goes like the first day ... ..and the news not to mention ... .I am sure they would have charged up to a penny for saying such nonsense ... ..or would it be that, that I am the luckiest guy in the world ... in a year and 2 months with an iPhone, at most he has closed an application, but hang ? the iphone hangs? to the point of having to turn it off? I can not believe it
I'm a developer and when apps crash and close, it's due to poor memory management. In iOS, memory management is carried out by the programmer, if this is not managed efficiently the application crashes, unlike Android, which is managed by the system itself.
So yeah, it's usually the developer's fault.
I have never had to restart my iPhone due to a crash (neither the 4 nor now the 4s), however in my previous galaxy s and s2 it was common to turn off the capon, reset, restart and others ... It is also true that I do not have a jailbreak . As not for that.
I changed my iPhone 4 for a Galaxy Note, more than anything a little tired of the iOs (I've been using it since the first iPod touch, going through the 3G, 3Gs and 4) and to know a little more about Android and the truth ... I already have it on sale after 2 weeks of use ... Horrifying ...
If you want, I'll change it for a 4GB iPhone 16 released with Gevey, I'm from Barcelona
I'm a fan of android but I break a spear for iPhone, most android phones are malillos, so they have few apps and those apps almost never hang because they are basic the ones you can install.
In short, the fault lies with iOS, those of us who have programmed for mobile phones know it, it has many flaws, but it is Apple's system and as long as it sells they will not change it.
IM so lucky!. It is seldom that an application closes for me, both on my iPhone and on my iPad.
I just don't believe it, we need more data to give that information some credibility, I can assure you that on an iPhone 4 without JailBreak I have not suffered any app crashes in 1 year and 2 months, now, in another that yes I am jailbroken, it is easier for those memory management failures to occur and have to reboot it from time to time.
Sure… Sure… .. That's why I sold my iPhone 4 to test the galaxy nexus with ics 4.0 and I sold it after 5 days to get my iPhone 4 back. Sure, sure… ..
Since the iPhone 3 that I am a user, it has never hung up on me at any time, it ever leaves an application, now I have iPhone 4 with more than 250 applications installed and the same thing, my daughter has the Samsung Galaxy S and of course it is terrible its use in all respects. I would not change it for any of the existing ones to date.
I have an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy R and I like to walk with my phones well set up and very rarely do either of them hang up on me.
Of course, an operating system made for 5 devices is not the same as one made for 200. That is obviously not a consumer problem but a great job of android in its short time of life.
I said, a well-tuned € 600-700 phone does not hang up if you are not an Adam ...
