I have an iPhone 4S and am suddenly unable to download apps via the app store on my phone. Whenever I try to download (or even update) an app, the icon just says "waiting." And it never downloads. What is going on? Is anyone else having this issue?

Maybe you are in a weak signal area? Sometimes my apps get stuck on "waiting" for a while but start downloading after a bit.

it can get stuck. open the "task manager" and kill the app store. then re-start it... if that doesnt work. kill ALL apps, reboot. it will work
