I updated my 5s to IOS 10.3.1 and it constantly auto resetting and I did everything i could like factorry reset and taking the SIM card out but its still doing that.

I updated and my phone 5s keeps randomly shutting off or freezing. I have repeatedly tried rebooting but doesn’t help :(

My experience with my 5s (and AT&T) has been QUITE different than what you describe above. On a daily basis since this upgrade: Calls simply not connecting, texts not going through…. forcing me to reboot the phone. Suddenly everything works… for a while….and then it happens again….rinse & repeat. Completely frustrating… one has to really wonder if they are pushing out the ‘planned obsolescence’ code in these ‘upgrades’.

I’m having the same issue as the people in the previous comments, ever since the up date my phone is constantly shutting off and not turning back for an hour of so and only a soft reset will turn it back on, and just this past week it isn’t letting me receive calls, I can make them but when people try and call me it goes straight to voicemail… and yes I’ve done all the trouble shooting making sure no calls are block, the announce calls is on always, a soft reset, and the whole putting it on airplane mode for 5 seconds and taking it off then had my buddy try and call and it still goes straight to voice mail! and this is all in places that I have full service and at my house I’m even connected to WiFi with full service. and I just bought this phone from the Verizon store brand new 4 months ago. None of these problems started till just recently when I finally decided to do the 10.3.1 update. Is that a coincidence or is there a connection with these problems from the update?

Regarding your remark that for iPhone 5s, to wit: battery life and connectivity are holding up – this is not the case for me. Battery life is tremendously degraded and bluetooth connectivity to Lexus bluetooth is having an annoying problem. Nothing -repeat: NOTHING – has changed in the car. With the upgrade to IOS 10.3.1, when the car is started and the phone is paired, it immediately thinks there is a phone call in progress and I must hold down the disconnect button for more than 10 seconds for the disconnect to take place. Every. time. I. start. the. car.
These 2 problems with the new patch to IOS 10.3.1 make it untenable for me.

my iphone 5 has completely messed up
on downloading the update . All it does now is the apple symbol comes on the screen for about 10 secs then goes off then comes back on again , it does this continuously until
the battery goes flat , it wont turn off , reset or anything, when u plug it in to charge it it just continues the cycle !!!
any ideas how to correct it ?

As of 05/20/2017 I don’t see any comments from 5s users referencing the 10.3.2 update, only the 10.3.1 update and associated problems. Would be curious if any 5s users with 10.3.1 problems see an improvement with 10.3.2
My 5s is still at 9.3.3 and on AT&T and everything works fine. I have zero desire to break car bluetooth or general AT&T connectivity nor experience any kind of instability so am waiting to hear applicable success stories.

I am a user of iphone 5s and thought of upgrading to 10.3.2 and fall into trap of Apple. In mid of upgrading, the phone stuck at apple logo. tried several options available on internet to revive the phone and spend around USD 80 to buy an option online to reset setting, however, all went into drain. I was awake till morning 4 AM and finally decided to hit the bed with dead phone. Visited the apple store and they said that your installation is corrupted. And they have to delete everything and then reload to 10.3.2. Horrible, however no option since I was a a flight during evening hours and spent another USD 100 the to restore. And finally the phone is up. But pathetic battery draining issue, during unlocking screen freeze or show some blue color while opening. Phone hangs and not sure when suddenly I will again face a issue with this iphone. I am sure apple is not going to help in returning the money i spent or to reduce the harassment i faced, except regret inconvenience. I am using this 5s since fall 2013 but now started thinking how long Apple users have to face the cost being connected to Apple devices. Shame on not able to find any resolution to battery draining or other issues. They have the biggest development force and highly paid employees but the result is in front of all. God bless.
