Hi Kyle! I edited your language as we are a family forum not located in a bar. :)

Sorry you are having problems ~ have you tried a hard reset? Hold the home button and the power button down at the same time until you see the Apple logo. About 10 seconds or so.

Let it reboot.

Solves quite a lot of off the wall things ~

Try turning off cloud and all spotlight search functions. It usually bombs out on low memory according to the diag feature and cloud seems to make it worse.

Goto Settings > Safari > Advanced > Web Site Data. See how much data is being held by sites you've visited. Delete. Also try Clear Cookies and Data. May help.

Since iOS5, Safari (I have recently learnt) consumes large amounts of memory (RAM), and needs this tidy up operation. Take a look at Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostics & Usage Data, and see if there are a lot of Low Memory diagnostics. If there are, check out which process is consuming most memory. If it's mostly Safari this could confirm your problem.

Alternatively, try a different browser. I downloaded Dolphin recently. Looks tidy.

You can't delete Diagnostic Data by the way (without a full reset). I'm about to raise a suggestion to Apple that they include a delete option in a future iOS.
