Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds. Release both when the Apple logo appears.
You won’t lose your photos, apps or settings. It is just like doing CTRL-ALT-DEL on a PC.
If you have upgraded to IOS7 recently, you’ll have to do this at some point when you start to see Facebook crashing or the camera refusing to take pictures. Once you’ve reset, all will be well again.

How to restart your iPhone without losing everything

Apple IOS 7
To be honest IOS7 looks less appealing than IOS6 but I guess we’ll get used to it. It makes the iPad look fresher, which is probably the reason for the new look. The iPhone looks odd with it currently. The changes to how search works and the other little tweaks are not that major.
As usual though, some people (me included) had the joy of a failed update, restore, reinstall cycle but whilst it burnt daylight, it didn’t actually lose any data or anything.
So patience all you grumblers, let’s give it a few days before we throw the phones away to buy android ones. They all look alike now anyway.
