Try pressing and holding both the home button and power button at the same time until the apple logo comes up. It may help, no problem here with the updates though
If you felt the need to reset it once a week there was no doubt an underlying problem. In about 6 years of iPhone use I've probably done it 10 times, last time it was to sort out a wifi calling issue.My brother who is an IT consultant is very much against this and is adamant that this should only be a last resort thing as doing it too often will lead to further problems. At one point I was doing it at least once a week on my iphone 4 and that one slowly died a death where everything took ages to load up etc.
