Safari iOS5 Issues

Chorlie

Hi,

I've got a couple of issues using Safari with iOS5 and wondering if it's just me or if it's an issue with iOS5.....


The first thing is it keeps crashing out of Sarafi and when I open it back up it takes me to the page I was reading, but iOS4 never crashed out....

Secondly on certain web site (this one and Mail Online) when I hit the back button it takes me to an older version of that page and not the one I've just been reading, I guess it's something to do with 'Read' but how can I stop it


Cheers

You are not alone - The problem here lies with the update, Safari is attempting to load pages from the cache. Unusual for Apple to let such an obvious bug slip through in a major update.

Clear your cache, your history and enable cookies "from visited".

Let us know if that fixes the problem, as this could be useful to others.

I've already tried that and it's still happening, on this site I can click on 'GO' when reading the Forum instead of the Back Button, but that doesn't work with most sites.

I feel it's to do with this new (in iOS5) 'READ' option, but I can't seen to turn it off / remove it.

As for the Crashing, could it be that the 512 RAM on an iPad 1 isn't enough anymore with iOS5 and that fact an iPad / iPhone never has been good at closing down Apps and free up memory.

Mine always goes back to the last page, so I just take it back to google and close the browser from there.

I've not had the crashing problem, is yours an older than 4S phone that been upgraded to ios5?

I'm using an iPad 1, not yet upgraded my iPhone 3GS (I'm hold off doing so at the moment).


Seems the Crashing is a common problem also:-
