I recently installde iOS 5 beta 1 then Beta 2, and both times I installed one another I have not been able to get Safari to open. Everytime I tap Safari to open it just force closes.. It doesn't even get to load or even gives me the chance to type anything. Is there any fixes or solutions to this problem? I really wanna get back to iOS 5 with a working Safari.

After you install the beta, are you restoring from a backup? I'm having no problems with Safari and haven't read of anyone else with the kind of problems you just described.

There are several lingering issues with Safari that have bug reports. This isn't one of them. It must be something specific to your configuration. Sorry, restore it but don't use a backup. Try it for a few days. If it works, something with your backup. If it still has the same issues, something wonky on your phone.

Thanks for the help. I will try it without using a backup. What i'm doing is installing the beta then using a custom bundle through redsnow so I can get my cell signal and everything. But I will try it without the backup and describe my results later. Thank you.

I didn't jailbreak the beta. I just used the custom bundle to get my cell signall and everything working. No UDID. I even tried putting the beta on my friends phone and she has the same problem. Safari just force closes.

Try a fresh restore to the beta. i restored from beta and this was a problem but it fixed itself after a clean install.

I've gone from 4.2.9 to 5.0, then from 5.0 beta 1 to beta 2 and Safari still closes. I'll try again.. I'll try uninstalling every apple and itunes software then reinstall. I just dont get why Safari keeps closing.
I restore to 5.0 beta, then I use Redsnow to install a custom bundle so my cell and data works. Then everything is good besides Safari. Weird. Please help.

It seems like you've tried several things with no success. The best advice, stop using beta 3. Go back to iOS 4.x and try again with beta 4. Even then, it's no guarantee it'll work.

This is an issue that I've had in betas 1-3 on my IPad 2. I've seen many others in various forums with the same issue, except Safari works for me, but will randomly close, like other apps do.
